Yes
- Comment on The EU requires phone makers to fit 'readily removable' batteries from next year — but there may be a notable exception 1 day ago:
That’s just the designed to fail but where they want you to buy a new phone even though the old one functions perfectly well with a new battery
- Comment on NASA scientists says astronauts should not masturbate in space 1 week ago:
Wasn’t that a joke from some comedian?
I know this is science memes, but this is just straight up bullshit repackaged with a clickbait title
- Comment on Why is it that when the graphics driver freaks out in your browser when watching a video, the page always turns this specific shade of green? 1 week ago:
Just that monitors don’t redlect light, they emit light, and rules change
- Comment on How did the gun buy back program work did you get a gift card or cash or something? How effective was this? Did this even make a dimple in crime? 1 week ago:
Just another day in America
- Comment on Peers vote to ban pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members 1 week ago:
I do apologize
- Comment on Peers vote to ban pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members 1 week ago:
It’s a fucking fantasy, let people live fantasies for a second
Next up we should ban some more kinks, then we should ban porn altogether.
This is just religious assholes using an easy target to get what they want, control of the masses, including those that don’t believe their insane fairytales
- 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? 2 weeks ago:
The “original message” was also only about control, like every other religion out there
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 2 weeks ago:
Nah, just 10M wealth caps…
Management is free to give you a 100M bonus! If your current worth is 1M, 91M of that bonus will go to taxes and you receive 9M and after that, all goes to taxes.
If you have shares, and the value of those shares goes up? You’ll have to pay the taxes over that, sell some shares, and pay money to taxes. And yeah, companies would simply need boat loads of small shareholders.

Oh god, another one of those…
Dinosaurs existed, so Jeebus must have existed too!
Much like the pyramids we can assume the easter bunny existed and continues to exist today.
NO WE CANNOT!
But we can see the eggs! The eggs, man!
…
Seriously, this is how you sound. You are defending that santa claus really exists because pyramids exist too.
- Comment on Killing the intellectual future of Iran. Science has no borders. 2 weeks ago:
Is it, though?
Who voted for him? And more importantly, who did not vote at all? Because all those tards that decided for whatever reason not to vote got us here as well and with that group added, we’re talking the vast majority of Americans.
Add to that that the best resistance we’ve seen so far were the failed and sad little no kings protests… Seriously, please look at europe on how to protest. These protests in the US did squat, nothing changed, it barely hit the news anymore.
So yeah, between Iranians being born into a theocratic dictatorship and Americans who could and should know better, pretending to “rule the free world”, I feel Americans carry a lot more responsibility for the actions of their government than Iranians
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
probably existed
Or probably not, as most of his backstory is taken from older stories
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I can fairly confidently say he didn’t exist because half of his back story is stolen from older stories still. At best there was a guy (not named jesus, that is for sure) who started a cult and got some followers and got a lot of the older lore mixed in. Either he did this himself, or (more probably) writers later mixed in things to create “JFC”
- Comment on What actually is the 10-point proposal from Iran which Trump said is "workable basis on which to negotiate"? 2 weeks ago:
This is just a “we surrender, so we win!” Republican mental gymnastics blurb
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Never, he is a fictional figure and the world would be so much better if people start seeing religions for what they are
- Comment on can i still consider myself to be a valid asexual? 2 weeks ago:
Not a stupid question at all, but my recommendation would be to worry less about labels.
Who cares about the label? You’re a human being with all your little quirks and capabilities, just like everyone else and I guarantee you that nobody fits any label perfectly. A label is only required for those with a need to show off the label.
- Comment on Fake News 2 weeks ago:
At first I attributed this to dumbfuckery but lately I’m again seeing more of these opinions but now from people who see it as an opportunity
- Comment on The UN Voted to Make Food A Human Right, Only Two Countries Voted No: Israel and USA 2 weeks ago:
The US and Israel at this point are just the axis of evil to the rest of the world.
- Comment on Killing the intellectual future of Iran. Science has no borders. 2 weeks ago:
Also the USA
Why does everyone hate us? We are good people, nice people, nobody should hate us!
- Comment on Is it predatory if (hypothetically) a 35 year old woman is dating a 25 year old guy because she was in a coma for 10 years so she's mentally about 25, and she hangs around with people in their 20s? 2 weeks ago:
Why would it be abusive in the first place if a 25 year old dates a 35 year old? What is happening with people that now all of the sudden any age gap is treated like this bad bad thing?
If both parties are adults, and both consent, then idgaf if one is 18 and the other 81. Adult is adult, consent is consent, can we fucking please stop judging people for living their lives the way they want to?
- Comment on How do you feel about a 25 year old dating a 46 year old? 2 weeks ago:
I would feel it’s none ofy business what two adults are doing

Of course the amount of required cookies for the correct functioning of this shit site is: 0

- Comment on Endgame for the Open Web 3 weeks ago:
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? 3 weeks 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"? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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. 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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
