sorry if i upset you
- Comment on Is AI progress stuck? 1 hour ago:
We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road
- Comment on Would there be any merit in the idea of NATO waging a "benevolent war" (for lack of a better term) against Ukraine? 1 hour ago:
NATO isn’t an army, it’s a defense pact. Member countries can’t just launch an attack against a non-member country (especially to “protect” said non-member).
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 12 hours ago:
I think it’s fair to say that ~80% of voters will just follow whatever their party’s media outlets say they should vote for. If a proper leftist and actually got the DNC nomination, I don’t think many classic liberals would think twice about voting for them.

If you don’t own a gun yet, buy one ASAP because it’s going to get a lot harder for people like you in the coming years
- Comment on why do most celebrities/influencers & some normal people have those fake-looking teeth? 1 week ago:
Same reason that some people have spray tans or workout until their hearts can’t take it anymore. It’s seen as attractive in the culture.
- Comment on Enshittification only hurts product itself, not users. 1 week ago:
Buddy this meme is put in reverse.
Netflix THEN Chrome THEN Windows???
- Comment on PlayStation Uses Safety Concerns To Defend Steam PSN Account Requirements 1 week ago:
Sony has the worst track record of anyone to be talking about “safety”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Its that “strangled by nerd thighs” thing all over again, isnt it?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
If I’m taking your word for it, your much larger ex bf tried to strangle you on camera in a public park and you used a self-defense tool against him. Sounds like you were entirely in the right to me. Would you have done anything different?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Sounds justified. What sort of responses are you hoping for?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Not enough time. Even before Harris was the candidate, she was pretty much treated like the de facto nominee immediately after Biden left. It would’ve just muddied the waters even more to go from Biden to Harris but then to another candidate after a quick primary.
It doesn’t hurt the fact that she got a massive boost in polling right after Biden dropped out and endorsed her. There wasn’t much reason to think that anyone else would poll better than her.
- Comment on strange workplace, how should I proceed? 1 week ago:
I have never understood the phrase “mountain out of a molehill” more than I did reading OP’s past few posts.
- Comment on Why is it difficult to get low-level remote jobs 1 week ago:
Those postings are put up by recrutiers for jobs that don’t exist to pad their rolodex in case they happen to get a overqualified candidate. There aren’t actually any $20/hr entry level remote jobs on the market.
- Comment on Why is it difficult to get low-level remote jobs 1 week ago:
There isn’t a single company in the country that’s going to pay you $20/hr to do something that entire offices are doing across the world for that same rate. You’re shooting way too high for that wage doing that kind of work

Go get em Rambo. I’ll be looking for you on the news
- Comment on What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game? 1 month ago:
Yeah lol. This seems to be a popular opinion in the larger gaming community. They really nailed the pirate life
- Comment on What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game? 1 month ago:
Black Flag, followed closely by 3. It doesn’t hurt that those were released right at the peak of my interest in gaming, but I replayed BF within the past two years and it still holds up super well
- Comment on Concord Director Steps Down As Studio Behind Historic PlayStation Flop Waits For Sony's Decision 1 month ago:
It’s actually pretty crazy just how hard that game flopped. I would have always thought that a company like Sony could’ve just brute-forced such a big project to achieve some success (or at least break even), but 25,000 units sold is almost unheard of for a game as expensive as Concord.
- Comment on Men: What sequence do you fellow to dry your body off after showering or bathing? 1 month ago:
I start with drying my anus and work in concentric circles out from that, so yes, my face is about last
- Comment on The Alt-Right in Tabletop Games [56 minutes] 1 month ago:
Odd because you could do a whole miniseries on Varg’s MYFAROG game and all it’s contradicting rules, zero support, and typos
- Comment on The Alt-Right in Tabletop Games [56 minutes] 1 month ago:
Is that Varg in the thumbnail?

You can say drugs. It’s the internet.
- Comment on Aldi announces wage increases up to $23 an hour; hiring thousands of employees 2 months ago:
No but the CEO had to cut down to just one new AMG Merc per year. It’s a doggy dog world out there
- Comment on Aldi announces wage increases up to $23 an hour; hiring thousands of employees 2 months ago:
One opened in my city, only Aldi within 50 miles. It is always packed and both of the major regional grocers have raised their “now hiring” wages several dollars, run much more aggressive deals, and their parking lots are maybe 4/5ths as full as they were a month ago.
Which is great for me because I’ve been to several Aldis and realized it just isn’t for me. Being one guy with a pretty weak appetite, the actual dollar savings don’t really come out to much for me (maybe -$10 versus a major grocer if I’m really stocking up), and the “Aldi Experience” doesn’t really mesh with how I buy food. It’s still great to have them in the market, though.
- Comment on Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.) 2 months ago:
Definitely #1. But you can’t ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game
- Comment on After 23 years he finally admits it 2 months ago:
Instinctively downvoted Meloncuck’s face. His fans are without a doubt the worst force in the music community. I’ll take a hundred Swifties before I have to deal with another Fantano stan trying to talk about fucking Carly Rae Jepsen with me in the pit before a show starts. Awful. Awful. Awful.
- Comment on Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More 2 months ago:
Funny because I noticed the haptic feedback for the first time recently after owning my PS5 for over a year and was instantly looking for ways to disable it. I don’t trust an unnecessary vibrating motor not to fuck up the parts of the controller I actually care about and the Dualsense battery life is abysmal enough as it is
- Comment on High Beam 2 months ago:
“Dr*nk” is a slur, we prefer “person who drinks.” And it’s only a couple beers to get the shakes down before I get on the road and a couple of road beers as needed if they come back
- Comment on High Beam 2 months ago:
When I was younger I’d always make sure to toss a beer can straight at the windshields of those jerkasses. Always had plenty rolling around in the foot wells. Might just have to start doing that again as long as automakers keep shipping out cars with the head of Helios shoved into where the headlamps are supposed to be
- Comment on I have been to jail in the US. How come they always offer a bible instead of offering you different religious books like a quran? 2 months ago:
Probably sponsored by a local Church. I’m sure that prisons in areas with large Jewish, Muslim, etc. populations have similar programs.
Talking out of my ass here, I can’t imagine it would be that difficult for someone to get a holy book from a different religion, though
