I mostly agree with your point, but whatever will replace the current protocols, I fucking guarantee you that it will be worse than we have today
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 4 days ago:
Wealth caps
Worldwide wealth caps
Start at 100 million…after a decade, lower that to 10 million
Anything, income, gift, whatever, over that goes 100% to taxes
Nobody had the right or need to be worth over 10 million dollars
- Comment on Do boys who had affectionate mothers growing up become more "gentle"? 5 days ago:
That is… Quite the story, and nobody should have to live through that shit as a child (hell, even as an adult, but as a child?)
It makes me happy to see that you ended up with something that requires so much restraint and gentleness, you sound quite awesome!
- Comment on If you're sexually frustrated & can never find a mate & decide to live a life of "nofap," what are the effects that buildup of sexual frustration has? 6 days ago:
Tell that to the religious that are being taught every day that they’ll go to hell for touching their peepee because God always watches them, always judges them
- Comment on If you're fond of restoring 30-year-old PCs, but then you see some old PC parts being obliterated by scrappers just to get small pitiful pinches of gold. 6 days ago:
Well there is a LOT of old electrics and they’ll be able to pull a lot more out of them than gold, and they should mostly be recycled as much as possible. There should still be more than enough left for hobbyists to restore, no? Check mexico, there are still millions of old devices out there, even in the wild, but especially in the smaller computer shops
- Comment on US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America 6 days ago:
Ding ding ding
Palantir, the copyright assholes
I can name a few more
If you want to spy on everything that all people do, their modems and traffic routers will be step one
- Comment on Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website 1 week ago:
So in other words, w patent that will "allow’ google to steal your website’s content so that they can make even more moneys from it.
Sounds like a typical Google day to me

Things usually have to get a lot worse before they can become better
- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 1 week ago:
Last year, Ticketmaster and LiveNation invested in a former military facial recognition company, with the hope that the technology could be used to both strengthen and speed up event entry
Because of course
- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 1 week ago:
So the Juggalo 's were right?
Man, this timeline is insane
- Comment on Coffee ☕ 1 week ago:
Isn’t that also where “HTTP 418: I’m a teapot” came from?
- Comment on A proposal to classify happiness as a psychiatric disorder 2 weeks ago:
Well so this is almost 3 decades old, but still…
What?
Why? The abstract doesn’t really explain the why, why would you want to do that?

- Comment on hostile design: sink 2 weeks ago:
Boy hostile design, though one could be fooled into thinking it, as this is near criminally insane stupid design instead
- Comment on Antiwoke Straight of Hormwin 2 weeks ago:
just a couple of nuclear detonations!
Tell me your mentally removed without saying the words
Tell me you have no idea about nuclear bombs, not the radiation, not the capabilities, nothing, without saying those words
Tell me you’re the dumbest fuck in class without saying the words
- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 2 weeks ago:
That’s by design
A dumb population is easier to control, which is why Republicans since Reagan have been slashing education whenever possible, trying to inject theocracy on there as much as possible, because religious dumb fucks are even easier to control
That cutting salaries helps them with their greed is just a cherry on top of the vomit cake

… And murder half of their children as well.
- Comment on Why are people like my grandpa so against seeing the whole world and learning a different language? 3 weeks ago:
I guess the fake American exceptionalism has something todo with it. They think and actually believe that the USA is the best country in the world, because that’s what they’ve been told everywhere by everyone. In the US, of course, because outside the US we laugh about the country.
Maybe they’re also subconsciously afraid to go there and see that their whole life has been a lie
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
… So not only I got Rick Rolled in 2026, I actually went there myself, like a double tap.
Nicely done!
- Comment on Anon likes Mario 3 weeks ago:
How about wealth caps?
Nobody can have a net worth of over 1 million dollars. Rest goes to taxes. Govt. can do free healthcare, free education, even universal income and though there still will be small differences in net worth, they will be small enough not to matter
Most importantly: nobody will be rich enough to fuck over the world for their own benefit
- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 3 weeks ago:
No. I was questioning why drink whatever that is if they don’t like it. If you don’t like it, don’t drink it?
- Comment on I gotcha, boss 3 weeks ago:
(almost) Everyone watches porn, yet in my experience, the vast majority of people look down on performers
I guess it’s this social status thing.
It’s similar to how in all the most religious.placea people are mostly into gay and trans porn. Noooooobody watches it, but porn sites continuously have to stream that porn there, they don’t know how that happens either, magic!

Aaaahhhh finally we’ve arrived at the point where millennials can look back to a next generation and go “…WTF?”
Welcome aboard buddies!
- Comment on I gotcha, boss 3 weeks ago:
No
He called himself “war machine” and was the exact type of loser that you imagine he is.
She broke up with him because of his violence, she started dating, the guy got in het house, best up het date and then beat her to an inch of her life. Had she not escaped, she would have been dead
Friend of mine is a friend of her and he testified in her court case against that human shit stain, so I had some more interest in it
Most people have the weird “she is a porn actress so she had it coming” thing, i just think that violence is never okay, no matter who the victim is.
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 3 weeks ago:
Fuck dynamic pricing, anyone even considering it should be jailed.
So tired, so tired of these ultra rich finding new and creative ways of squeezing the plebs and we just, again, let them
