Those are “Cage Free”.
I’m not sure what technically counts as “Free Range”. I think if the building has a small chicken size door, so at least theoretically a few could manage to go outside, that might count. - Comment on What are the odds of getting salmonella when eating raw poultry products? 1 day ago:
Kagi says the risk is pretty high.
- Comment on James Cameron on 'Avatar 3' Potentially Sparking Fan Backlash 1 day ago:
But not the people who enjoy it
- Comment on James Cameron on 'Avatar 3' Potentially Sparking Fan Backlash 1 day ago:
Not honestly!
Flippantly. Facetiously. Disrespectfully.I’m tired of people shitting on people who like movies they don’t.
Criticizing movies is one thing. Criticizing people is another entirely.
Fuck off with your gate keeping asshole shit. - Comment on Why is it when I watch a movie at home? It seems like I have to go deaf just this way. I can hear the audio of somebody speaking compared to the explosions and other special effect sounds? 2 days ago:
Stop using the dynamic sound. That should help.
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 2 days ago:
That’s got nothing to do with what side loading means.
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 2 days ago:
This isn’t North Korea.
Even China and Russia can’t fully block things.
Our networks aren’t nearly as controlled as theirs. - Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 2 days ago:
Not quite. You don’t need any app store at all.
You literally download an APK file from a website or anywhere, then install it directly. Could even be a friend with a thumb drive. Doesn’t matter how you get it, it’s just a file. - Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 3 days ago:
On Android you can download apps (.APK files) from the web, and install them without any app store.
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 3 days ago:
I believe Google and Apple are to be fined if they don’t remove the app from their stores.
We don’t have the ability to nationally block the domains and IPs, so current users will still be able to access it. So you shouldn’t need a VPN.
Android users could side load the app if they want.
- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 1 week ago:
You did want to. Just as I want to correct you.
Because we have no free will.
Our wants are the very things that aren’t free. - Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 1 week ago:
No. It’s me. Steve
- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 1 week ago:
Just remember none of us have free will. Truly grocking that, makes anger at a person a sensible as anger at a wall.
- Comment on Please explain this to me. Are consumers that dumb?!? 1 week ago:
It’s the same as all the PINK stuff that’s just black and white.
- Comment on What realistically would happen if someone came back to life from the dead ? 1 week ago:
Or took a step, or breath, or blinked.
- Comment on What realistically would happen if someone came back to life from the dead ? 1 week ago:
So frequency equals taxes?
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
It’s not like you’re using your personal social accounts for this stuff.
You’re not going to want your friends and family anywhere near it.They want to know your “public” social accounts. The ones that are part of your “Brand”, that would drive your “Business”. That’s what matters.
If you’re worried about privacy on those accounts, you’re doing it all wrong. - Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
They need all that to be able to give you your money.
It’s how you get paid. - Comment on A Working Man [Trailer] 1 week ago:
Jason Statham is great at Jason Statham stuff though.
Would you rather he do Jason Bateman stuff? - Comment on On Friday SCOTUS Will Decide Whether TikTok Can Be Banned; We Told It The First Amendment Says No 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty close to a free speech absolutist. I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed so completely with TechDirt. This is not a TikTok ban. It’s a ByteDance ban. Corporations aren’t people. The government is fully within it’s rights to force a foreign state owned corp to sell or shutdown operations in the US.
Like you said this is another Corp vs Gov power play, and the public has largely been duped into supporting the Corpos again.

- Comment on I told my wife Nightbitch was just Office Space for women and now she's mad at me. AITA? 2 weeks ago:
Bases on the Wikipedia plot synopsis. I can’t say if you’re an asshole. Bout you do seem quite wrong.
An unnamed woman, referred to as Mother, has paused her career as an artist to become a stay-at-home mom for her two-year-old son. As she navigates the isolating and monotonous aspects of motherhood, she begins to experience surreal changes, leading her to believe she is transforming into a dog.
- Comment on What is your favorite Robin Williams role? 2 weeks ago:
It is my favorite movie.
I relate too much, to a robot trying to understand and become a human. - Comment on 'The Batman II' Heads to 2027, Warner Bros' Tom Cruise Movie In 2026 3 weeks ago:
The most prolific move is that Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel is heading from Oct. 2, 2026…
That’s not what prolific means!
I honestly wonder how people who write for a living make these mistakes. - Comment on what works for you to let go? 3 weeks ago:
Constructive Nihilism, or my own spin on it has helped me.
Everything in the universe, including us, are nothing but subatomic billiards balls bouncing off one another. Free will isn’t even an illusion, but a delusion. Consciences may not even exist beyond a concept we use as a shortcut to describe ourselves.
If you can truly internalize and grock those ideas, getting angry at a person, makes as much sense as getting angry at ocean wave. In fact your feelings of anger are internally nothing more than a few billiard balls bouncing in your own brain.
It’s not perfect. I still get annoyed occasionally. But then I remember these facts, and suddenly the feelings of anger just go away as quickly as they arrived. They seem silly and trivial.
- Comment on Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra talks 'arms dealer' strategy, defends 'Spider-Man' spinoffs 3 weeks ago:
Truly “bad” movies don’t get theatrical releases.
The direct to DVD or low end of the streaming market is where you’ll find actually bad movies.
If you thought Kraven the Hunter was as bad as it gets, you need to see The Room. Kraven was a totally normal average quality movie. - Comment on Jesse Eisenberg Says Lex Luthor Role 'Hurt My Career in a Real Way' 4 weeks ago:
The newest Lex Luther in Superman & Lois, did a great job. That worked. The writing for his character had some questionable choices. They made him very fragile and pety. Wasn’t so much a fan of that. But the actor nailed it.
- Comment on questions about sex toys: would it be a bad idea to fully insert a vibrating egg in my bum? 4 weeks ago:
As an XRay tech, I have taken an image of a butt-plug (with flared base) that got lost up there.
I don’t know what was involved in getting out. But the docs did get it out before asking for another image 7 hours later. - Comment on ‘Section 31’ Director Says The Streaming Movie Is A New Flavor Of Star Trek… With A Surprise Twist 4 weeks ago:
I never mentioned good or bad.
I don’t really care if something is “good or bad”. I only care if I like it or not. - Comment on ‘Section 31’ Director Says The Streaming Movie Is A New Flavor Of Star Trek… With A Surprise Twist 4 weeks ago:
the stakes are as profound as any that we’ve seen
That’s not a selling point. I’m truly tired of world ending all the time. What’s wrong with smaller more personal stakes.
