- Comment on An Offhand Remark About Gold Bars, Secretly Recorded, Upended His Life 5 days ago:
Poor man. I wish the Project Veritas “journalist” a very interesting life for inflicting so much pain and suffering on some normal person.
- Comment on ‘I Feel Like I’ve Been Lied To’: When a Measles Outbreak Hits Home 1 week ago:
I think we are going to have a long, slow, painful recovery where people clutch at their crystals and misinformation while terrible diseases like polio, whooping cough, and measles come roaring back. I think we will get back to where we were in 2010, someday. It’s just sad that something so completely unnecessary is going to cause heartache and lasting damage for whole generations of people.

Sounds like we are gonna get breakthrough cases from these dumbfucks. It destroys your immune system too, so for the next decade, they will be an additional burden on our medical and tax system.

I met some nice people, but had better luck just meeting people naturally in my 20s. I think the reason why dating apps didn’t work is that it’s kinda like job apps online, where there’s just waves of people, and everyone is just kinda putting their resume on their profile. Hard to stand out and meet “real” people among bots/hidden likes/ app design/bad matches.
Usually these companies make money by having users churn through loads of bad matches and then continually pay for premium.
I’d recommend joining a club IRL or volunteering, it might be a more organic fit. Friends -> dating can come naturally out of that.
- Comment on Is Fake Grass Safe? A Manufacturer Sues to Stop a Discussion 2 weeks ago:
Big plastic wants to switch everything to plastic, from tires (blended in) to floss to packaging to clothes. It’s kinda wild how much stuff that was wood/glass/paper/foil/metal/wax/cardboard 10-20 years ago is now all plastic.

Everyone was telling me that this time they would have fixed it. Called it. I think I’m down to one joycon that doesn’t drift :P
- Comment on A G.O.P. Plan to Sell Public Land Is Back. This Time, It’s Millions of Acres. 3 weeks ago:
One of our native American tribes has become fabulously wealthy in the modern era, but got seriously wumped up on by the native American superpower back then. These days, that superpower tribe is more cash strapped, but still holds expensive territories.
The wealthy tribe sued to get hunting rights on the superpowers’s considerable lands. The old superpower tribe said something to the effect of “you can win whatever you want in the white man’s court, but you will never set foot on our land and live to see another day” and they meant that quite seriously. The wealthy tribe still hasn’t set foot on their “shared” land.

I hope the head of the EPA takes a fat hit off one of those unfiltered coal smokestacks so we can quickly get someone else. What a fucking moron.

What the fuck? People kill their adult child for having sex?
- Comment on U.S. May Strip Harvey Milk’s Name From Navy Vessel 4 weeks ago:
Other ships in the John Lewis class include the Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sojourner Truth, John Lewis and Thurgood Marshall, among others.
Sojourner Truth is also just an objectively good ship name, as both a name of a good historic figure, and the literal definition of a sojourner seeking truth.
It would also be a fantastic name for a scientific space vessel. Seeking truth through exploration.

Looks intriguing!
- Comment on Subnautica 2 will have a bigger map and a silent protagonist, say devs 4 weeks ago:
Thank God for a silent protagonist. BZ is the game that made me realize why games have silent protagonists. Nobody would shut the hell up, I even turned off voice tracks.
- Comment on Whatever happened to cheap eReaders? 4 weeks ago:
I use my job with library books fairly often, though the waiting list is sometimes 6-8 weeks for popular titles.
- Comment on ‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs 5 weeks ago:
The DLC had good open worlds, but the main game just felt too dreary and brown.

- Comment on Subnautica Is Coming To Android/iOS 5 weeks ago:
It’s a great game, but I dunno how well it will work on phones. The UI is gonna have to be really reworked. I found it a bit clunky even on desktop. The story is fantastic, though. :)
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 5 weeks ago:
DOOM 16 was fantastic, but eternal felt gross. It was a huge step back from 2016, and didn’t feel fun. I’m not bothering with the newer games since they essentially are going off gimmicks.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 1 month ago:
What happened to him in the end? I remember her sacrificing herself to the winter, but all I remember is Geralt living and then the post game DLC. Maybe I got the really weird ending, haha
- Comment on After raising over $800 million from its community, Star Citizen's developer delays the release of a new ship upgrade as players baulk at having to pay for it 1 month ago:
800 million dollars? They raised $800,000,000 and it’s still in alpha? What the fuck.
Also, I hate the trend of content such as ships releasing as a paid DLC, then later as an in-game grind. In the olden days, the ships were free in games like Elite. The only thing that cost money was actual DLC expansions. That trend was probably spearheaded by star citizen devs :p

Nope, that is what third spaces are for. :)
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 1 month ago:
Because our president shows that once in 248 years, someone who continuously flouts the law somehow makes it into power, then changes everything to be in their favor, permanently.
- Comment on Weed Manager of the Year: One Man’s Quest to Save the Sonoran Desert 1 month ago:
When it comes to saguaro cacti with scorched, dying bases…can people chop and prop them, just like traditional succulents and cacti? The ones in that picture still have a considerable amount of green. Their bases might be destroyed, but their bodies appear to be fine until they die of thirst. Humans may be able to save a number of them.
- Comment on E.P.A. Plans to Shut Down the Energy Star Program 1 month ago:
Also
Paula R. Glover, president of the Alliance to Save Energy, a group that promotes energy efficiency, said the Energy Star program cost $32 million but delivered $40 billion in annual savings on utility bills.
32 million for over $4 billion A YEAR in savings. What a fucking waste. 32 million is pocket change. I think my city spends more than $32 million a year on bike lanes, lol.

- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 2 months ago:
I absolutely loved my apartments that had a heatpump and toilets with water-pressure powered engines(?), which barely used any water.
My summer electric bills (all electric appliances) were $66 in the 2020s, $130 in winter. My efficient toilet could have flushed a fucking coconut, it was so powerful that there was actually air getting sucked out of the room when you flushed it. It’s tank had no visible water, but had something that looked like a black car engine, which would blast air and water when flushed.
