- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 days ago:
You seem far more hopeful than me, and far more intelligent, so I am going to try and hold on to a sliver of hope.
- Comment on Federal workers vs Elon Musk: I’ve never seen a billionaire carry the mail, put out a forest fire, make sure people get their Social Security checks, answer a phone call from a suicidal veteran 5 days ago:
I can’t wait to see his head roll.
- Comment on Trans Man Killed in New York Was Tortured for More Than a Month, Police Say 5 days ago:
Jesus christ, I hope they all burn.
- Comment on why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!” 5 days ago:
Maybe they’re republican
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 6 days ago:
How do we set a better example / take the high road but actually make progress though?
Lawsuits and protests are going to do nothing at this point.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 6 days ago:
Lack of organization. We’re many of us individually mad, but there is no organization.
Say what you will but Jan 6th and then some is what we should be doing, but we aren’t.
All I’m doing now is hoarding ammunition and periodically buying more guns because I 1000% believe we’re going to see war soon.
I’m also donating money to charities, helping people in my community that are struggling, and telling fascists to fuck off.
- Comment on It looks like someone at Activision is leaking Slack screenshots to right-wing X users 2 weeks ago:
Hope they catch them and I hope those individuals lose their jobs.
- Comment on Trump Pauses Disbursements to Program Supplying H.I.V. Treatment Worldwide 3 weeks ago:
Fuck these conservative assholes.
- Comment on Maybe we should have this conversation in person so it can be a fist fight. 4 weeks ago:
I work with people who do this and I hate it so much that I will intentionally ignore their messages for 30+ minutes and then say I’m busy for X time just to delay it.
Why? Because these individuals, 100% of the time, will get on the call just to show me a screenshot of something and ask a question. Half the time it’s yes or no, I’ll answer, they’ll say thanks, and hang up.
I’ve asked them time and time again that they can just send me the screenshot and the question and I’ll answer - they refuse.
- Comment on All that data collection, and you don't even know me, what's even the point‽ 4 weeks ago:
- Comment on Enemies 5 weeks ago:
Eggs in the supermarket near me are anywhere from $4.99 to $12.99 for 12.
Eggs from farmers near me are $4 for 12.
Easy to guess where I buy my eggs.
- Comment on Birds with red eyes are coming 1 month ago:
Same.
- Comment on "It seems likely Elon Musk has lost over half of the UK twitter daily audience by now" 1 month ago:
What does a flat roofed pub mean? (Serious)
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
The stories my female doctor friend tells me about treatment from male colleagues or female superiors is freaking rage-inducing. But 99% of the time she can’t do shit about it because she’ll be ostracized or risk her job, or in the past risk residency or placements. It suuuucks.
- Comment on I don't have to check the price because I know I can't afford it. 1 month ago:
I’m laughing so hard at this, I’ve never heard anyone say “3 figure income” and just assumed they weren’t in the US.
- Comment on It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers? 2 months ago:
I just got a 765cfm battery-powered leaf blower and…
…it’s so much fun. Mindlessly entertaining. I don’t even care if I just blow the leaves back and forth, it’s just…weirdly fun.
Also fun to blow random things around the house until someone gets mad.
- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 2 months ago:
Tell me more about this immediate fog thing, what causes it and what doesn’t it clear quickly?
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 2 months ago:
Dang that’s a good deal (I’m joking).
I would have to pay ~$1800/mo for just my wife and I for mediocre coverage.
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 2 months ago:
Geographic American here.
I just left a job with a health plan for my wife and I, to continue coverage would cost me ~$1810/mo OOP. And, yes, I would then still need to pay more to hit my OOP Maximum.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 2 months ago:
I’m guessing it is meant to say “single” but I’m honestly not sure.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 2 months ago:
I actually tried to do this with a bar I owned back in the day. It was exciting / hopeful.
It went into effect January 1st, 2020. January for bars is rough because people do “dry January” so we hoped February and March would be good.
We all know what happened. It didn’t survive. Spent a good year or so continuing to pay wages and healthcare out of my own pocket, but I hit a point where I had to call it (mostly because I ran out of money and couldn’t get any more loans).
I plan to try again in the future, once I have the loans paid off and some padding saved again.
I also dream of a day where somewhat self-sustaining communes become more prevalent. Everyone living together on a shared plot and exchanging goods & services instead of money. Maybe it’s a pipe dream? I don’t know. I feel like it’ll become necessary over the next 4 years though.

- Comment on Depression 2 months ago:
Oh god that sounds brutal.
- Comment on Depression 2 months ago:
I had a McDonald’s tell me the machine was down for maintenance and then at the next window I heard a guy in the background shout, “Hey, don’t make that, I told them the machine was down”.
I’m still unreasonably bitter about it because my wife was sick and just craving a quick blizzard.

- Comment on For my fellow Americans, when is enough enough? 3 months ago:
I’d say over half. I and many others in my circle are already executing on our escape. If we even can…
America is done.
For those that can’t leave, find a community, build a commune, and support each other. Strength in numbers.
- Comment on Ghost jobs are wreaking havoc on tech workers 3 months ago:
I have totally seen job postings at places I work and asked HR or management if I can refer someone I know…and they tell me they aren’t actually hiring for it.
Kinda fucked up.
- Comment on Capsaicin 3 months ago:
This might be the best comment I’ve read all night.
- Comment on The Only Patriotic Choice for President 3 months ago:
I canceled my NYT sub awhile ago, but am considering subscribing again. They aren’t perfect, far from, but I’d take this over fucking WaPo.
- Comment on Only RAR product. I am buying 4 months ago:
Okay but now I actually want one…
