- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 3 days ago:
Mind you that a lotmof that no longer works
In the past traffic could be routed over whatever. If one node went down, the traffic would go over another
Now we have a few very fast backbones and if even one goes down bye bye internet
What you have cached locally or on your doesn’t count because it’s only that which you’ve seen before.
- Comment on Hey is Sharing Luigi’s Manifesto on Social Media Actually "Glorifying Violence"? Because Reddit Said So 😭 4 days ago:
Reddit said so because it’s CEO is known to be a greedy bastard who threw everything and everyone Bunder the bus for money. Luigi would not approve
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 4 days ago:
Deuteros. This is pre 1995, I believe.
Played the game for over a day, got to conquer the entire system, thought I was done but then I found out that that was only 10-20% of the game
- Comment on He was pretty awful too, you know. 5 days ago:
If we’re going to judge everything and everyone today on things that happened a hundred years ago, done by people who are only vaguely subject related then we’re all guilty and we should all kill ourselves.
Let’s just let history be history? Germans today aren’t responsible for the Nazis anymore either, ffs.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Did you read either article that you posted?
The first literally says there is a RISK of that happening (and the why’s of that risk being utter nonsense), yet the title sounds like doctors are just sitting and waiting with a syringe to stab any random patients that come by. It’s bullshit
The second is exactly the same with one difference: it has a link to an article talking about a SINGLE doctor at veterans affairs apparently suggesting it, and veterans affairs basically punishing the doctor for that.
So I’m sorry, but both articles make it sound like the Canadian government can’t wait o murder you while in reality there was one single doctor who didn’t follow protocol.
I’m sorry, but the argument isn’t supported by facts, this does not happen
- Comment on As a human, here is my human take on unions 1 week ago:
Yeah, no, that should be jail time for whoever sighed off on this.
Make a few examples and people will very quickly stop signing off on shit like this
- Comment on Will Republicans try another Federal Right to Work attempt? 1 week ago:
No, that would be called “right to die with dignity”
Even though that means the opposite of what it means anywhere else (euthanasia)
- Comment on GTA 6 will have a 'significant online mode' to generate revenue for years into the future 1 week ago:
So sad that Rockstar now too is “one of those”, but that is what always happens when small companies making great products grown into large corporations. Gta6 will be shit, it will ring in the end for Rockstar and nobody at the exec level at Rockstar willl care because they will have filled their pockets and can jump ship.
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 1 week ago:
It so so pisses me off when these companies say shit like “thank you for sharing in our passion for creativity”
It’s basically saying “thank you for agreeing with us”, which I don’t.
At this point you just know that any company saying something like that is abusive, doesn’t give a shit and just want to pretend to be respectable.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
And you really believe that?
“Let’s pretend we fire all employees that are stressed out over or horror practices, will be a great commercial!”
What that link says is that they fucked around and found out and are now making up bullshit excuses to contain the find.
- Comment on As a human, here is my human take on unions 1 week ago:
This should be illegal to the point that whoever is responsible for this tweet should be jailed for st least 5 years.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 1 week ago:
No, no it’s not.
Look at Europe, we don’t have (any of) the problems in the US. Violence begets violence, you’ll just end up in civil war, which at this point I think is a realistic possibility for the US.
Let’s be REAL clear: in war there are only losers, in civil war, everyone gets fucked and destroyed, everyone suffers until one decides to surrender. Ask Yugoslavia how well a civil war ends.
Taking a step back, vigilantism is also not the solution. I get it, it feels good to finally see “them” suffer, but it solves nothing. Just like the violence back a few years ago didn’t solve anything, murdering CEOs won’t solve anything either.
What will work? Mass strikes, civil disobedience. Gandhi had a point, and his non violence kicked the Brits out, something that seemed impossible.
What you need, as step one, is better communication. The Republican party currently spreads lie after lie through Fox News, that crap must be removed first, again, through peaceful means.
What you really need is
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
Good luck, it will go nowhere
Until the wonner-takes-all system is changed you will always only have Democrats and Republicans
Of course all that depends on if there will be a democracy left after 4 years…
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 1 week ago:
Teo wrongs don’t make a right. Fix the CEO issue, fix the police officer issue. Vigilantism is not the solution.
I get it, and this guy certainly deserved what came for him, but it’s not right, it’s not the solution. I don’t want to love in a world where we just start vendettas ourselves
I’m more a star trek (classic) guy than a bat man guy, so to speak
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 1 week ago:
Yes, of course
I don’t want to live in a world of vigilantes, we don’t want Batman, we don’t want to need batman either
So having said that, CEO’s should also be jailed for deaths they cause. If you cause a dozen deaths through purposeful decisions, you usually wouid get the chair so for this particular CEO would need a LOT of chairs to kill him a thousand times.
It’s time to stop treating killings by man as a heavy crime and killings by a company as a misdemeanor

By that metric every website is a Nazi shithole
- Comment on Anon plays spin the bottle 2 weeks ago:
Okay, so you’ve never been on 4chan, you know nothing of it’s quite long and colorful history. You heard a few things and went straight to “well, Hitler!”
You must be fun at parties 🎉

- Comment on Disney's Snow White | Official Trailer 2 weeks ago:
You get too hung up on the LITERAL NAME.
It’s like buying a red Ferrari and you get a white Volkswagen beetle, and then the car dealer telling you that it’s a car, you’re getting too hung up on a name.
And that ignores the part that all this is just virtue signalling on the part of Disney. Who cares that the story is shit, who cares that the acting, the CGI, that it’s all horrible? The main actress… IS BLACK! YOU MUST LOVE THIS NOW GIVE US YOUR MONEY!
I don’t mind watching a good movie about one armed black transexual women kicking some ass, as long as the story is good and realistic, as long as the acting is good, as long as the end product actually looks like someone gave a damn.
THIS product shows that nobody gave a damn, then they put in an actress who very much does not match the description, knowing the backlash that would follow which they figured, bad talk about this is still talking about this, yay. The actress herself didn’t help her case when she started bitching about the previous movie and how she would show us… Then the seven dwarfs became… Seven growth unstunted beings? I don’t even know how to describe it, but now dwarfs are out too, even though afaik, they are mythical dwarfs but whatever, BUT LETS NOT GET STUCK ON WORDS, RIGHT?
If we go like that then I have a bridge to sell to you. You give me a million dollars and I will give you my worn out 20 year old washing machine with a note that mentions something somehow about not getting hung up on words…
I just want a good movie. This is not a good movie and it’s just trying really hard to fool people into thinking it’s good, using very very low and cheap tricks… And it worked on you.
- Comment on Disney's Snow White | Official Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I don’t care about her color but can we then just change the name? The entire point was that her skin was white.
Also, if skin color was the only thing then only a few racists would balk. This movie, however, is just a shit show. So yeah, you’ll have a lotmor ooeope complaining, including about her skin color which is just dumb
- Comment on Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent? 2 weeks ago:

Yeah, there are a lot of big cheaters right nowz doesn’t mean All of it is
- Comment on No need to boil the ocean 2 weeks ago:
God i hate humans, they can be so stupid.
Don’t trust what someone else figured out! Instead let’s all get sick, let a bunch die, and then someone will figure out something that totally wasn’t figured out a hundred years ago, no no, it was figured out by these super smart skeptics!
I used to call myself a skeptic until the word was hijacked by these idiots that question science but believe all religions and conspiracy theories.

I’m guessing that rightwingers prefer this study.to be done on teenagers directly, making a steroid pumped teenager nightclub camp

- Comment on MPs vote in favour of historic bill to allow assisted dying after emotional debate 3 weeks ago:
It usually does. The entire idea is to avoid suffering, not to add to it
- Comment on MPs vote in favour of historic bill to allow assisted dying after emotional debate 3 weeks ago:
Meanwhile women are bleeding to death and dying slow and painful deaths from sepsis because of maga laws, butt dying with dignity without suffering is satanic
- Comment on What gives you hope to keep going? 3 weeks ago:
Almost none of the crap going on will directly affect your life. Just live, enjoy, don’t read the news. You’ll be fine

Sources on that? Serious question
I’ve heard multiple people claiming this yet haven’t read anything about it

What happens when you favor marketing over anything else?
You just lie, lie, lie, so many times that you actually believe your own shit
- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 3 weeks ago:
Because Putin is a Russian narcissistic psychopath, whatever he does, it’s in line with what you’d expect.
Trump is an American narcissistic psychopath who is selling out the country to the highest bidder. Well, I guess that too is quite on par with what you’d expect from a powerful person in the US…
Never mind
