Ssshhh, you’re making sense, you’ll scare them off!
- Comment on Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start. 3 days ago:
Oh yeah, he was one of those actors that could only play himself one way or the other
- Comment on Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting? 3 days ago:
Yeah, that is a highly romanticized and naive way of describing extortion
- Comment on Could I just create my own drive format? 3 days ago:
Yes, you can design your own filesystem format and make a driver for that and use it on your computer
It would be insanity, but you could.
Basically: Filesystems are hard to make. Really really hard.

And that is why you don’t state your evil intentions, you just do it
- Comment on We will all be slaves 3 days ago:
Also, why focus on preventing homelessness by, you know, making housing affordable when instead you can just lock them all up or better yet, kill them all? Don’t tell me that this isn’t a wet dream fantasy for most gop politicians
- Comment on We will all be slaves 3 days ago:
humane treatment
Is that what we call el Salvadorian torture prisons now?
- Comment on Is Social Media Censorship Unaliving Language? 3 days ago:
It’s being used in the internet everywhere now, I guarantee you that people will incorporate this in their daily speech IRL
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 3 days ago:
I don’t care who it is that is defrauding the customers, but somebody is. These numbers don’t “accidentally” go wrong, this is clearly abusive and yes, police would be called over this. I’m sure the server is innocent, but then the restaurant owner isn’t
- Comment on Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start. 3 days ago:
Yes

- Comment on Have you encountered this? 6 days ago:
I would have gone back and not left until I had both 20%s in my hand. Call the police? Please do!
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 6 days ago:
And they still tipped?
My tip would have been 0 right there and would have included a complaint with police
- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 1 week ago:
Storage media won’t survive that long. Hard drive, when used, last about 5 years, give or take. Unused, I have no idea how long the data will stay consistent but I would not count on anything beyond 10 years
- Comment on AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified 1 week ago:
Yet so far it seems the only real solution at hand. Under the Cheeto, AI companies basically have free reign to race for who gets to make the first Skynet, nobody cares anymore as long as it’s more more more, and the goal justifies the means. Sacrifice the environment, humanity, everything, as long as shareholders get a lot of money.
The copyright lobby, on the other hand, has been doing this shit since forever, I doubt things can get much worse on their side
- Comment on DoorDash wants you to lobby Congress instead of just employing you 1 week ago:
That’s because it’s all bullshit, they want to REMOVE protections and use the very victims to ask Congress for this
The US is “awesome” as always
Large companies are “awesome” as always
- Comment on Would we be able to use the measles virus to reset the immune systems of people with autoimmune disorders like MS or rheumatoid arthritis? 1 week ago:
Problem with this and just about anything related to the human body (and a million other subjects) is that the answer usually is: it’s not that simple.
The human body is extremely complicated with countless different proteins and system each performing multiple tasks all mixed throughput your body and with all of our knowledge we probably still only know a fraction of what there is to know.
Typically if someone comes up with “this one simple trick”, the answer is “it’s not that simple” and if someone sells you a simple solution (zinc! Ivermectin!) it’s bullshit
In this particular case, (and I’m extremely much spitballing here, it’s all bullshit that I’m saying) maybe you could use a virus like measles, use CRISPR to change it in such a way that it will deposit some of its DNA in your immune system to detect and kill the the immune cells that are attacking your insulin generating cells… Again, I’m full of shit here so don’t take this with a grain of salt, don’t take it at all because ITS NOT THST SIMPLE

- Comment on Black Holes 1 week ago:
I remember reading this single page image from the flash where he was talking about how much he did in an atto second.
If that’d be true,nthe flash could create black holes at will or even by accident if he isn’t careful
- Comment on Jack Black 1 week ago:
The problem is that doing anything great requires a lot of sacrifices. Risk to life and limb,broken relationships, broken families, that sort of thing. Journalism isnt different. Wanna report on Gaza? You’ll have to live in the area for a good while, maybe even years. Long and unstable hours, lots of stress.
Most people just go for the easier jobs
- Comment on Is Social Media Censorship Unaliving Language? 1 week ago:
Asks the person using the word “unaliving”.
I’m honestly not sure of you’re trying to be funny or if you’re dead serious

- Comment on Microsoft yanks the plug on Windows 11 SE, giving school and college IT techs a little over a year to find a suitable replacement 1 week ago:

- Comment on UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs 1 week ago:
Yeah, so I already see where this sliding scale is moving towards. Let’s just require all porn models to be 80, this way we.can be absolutely sure that they won’t be anywhere near the barely legal line!
We can also know that now almost nobody will be watching porn anymore
