  But I’m from the Scooby-Doo generation.

  Ascii or go home.

  Equal “badness” in the sense of commercial/oligarchy takeover or the authoritarian nanny state. Extremes where citizen input is token at best. Russia is technically a democracy, but no regular person there has a hope of changing the government or policy with a vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is Turkish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? That country started backsliding democratically a while ago. They’ve suffered from nationalism, populism, and conservatism that landed them essentially a dictator. The fact that trump likes Erdogan should be warning enough that all is not well in Turkey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Barely. Probably equally bad in some cases.

  An educated citizenry that actively participates in government is the best solution, but we know that’s almost impossible for multiple reasons.

  The wealthy reduced access to education and increased economic instability for the average person.

  They wanted less taxation, so they made taxation evil. Taxation paid for education and could have been used for more. They also made sure things that would stabilize the middle and lower classes were cut or never materialized - free higher education, unions/pensions, and health care. They created an environment that pitted people against each other where you “get yours” and fuck everyone else, crabs in a bucket.

  AI image?

  No zebra? Guess I’m never writing again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World travelers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was wondering how the heck coconuts journeyed around the southern passages for what would have been probably years on ocean currents and arrive in the caribbean still viable for growth.

  Or carried by a sparrow.

  Not really gonna happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some slow acting poisons?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dimethylmercury.

  Two drops will kill you in a few months and nothing can be done. It penetrates clothing, regular latex gloves, and skin very easily and unnoticed.

  Pretty terrifying stuff. Not sure you’d be able to figure out availability or production in your plot, but as far as poisons go you’d be set for time between dose and death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mythbusters⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  +1

  Took a while to get the whole thing, but worth it. Definitely download the Smyths version. A little of the TV showmanship feel is lost, but otherwise it’s excellent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is waiting for Japan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Still hasn’t happened in the US? You choose a single industry as a comparison to the vast manufacturing losses the US has faced over the last 50 years?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is waiting for Japan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thing that happens everywhere. Low cost innovation gets expensive as companies grow and salaries rise, profit seekers move to exploit cheaper labor elsewhere.

  “Go back to the original novel…” and then do something completely different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's totally not a Nazi tho⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get what you’re saying and you’re correct, but my comment was an attempt to point out that republicans use bullshit logical arguments to divorce cause and effect, the tool and the user. Yes, people kill people, but the gun is the tool specifically used to make it easier and faster. No, Mao didn’t personally kill millions, but he used the tool of ignorance and populism to accomplish it. It’s like if Mao said “I didn’t starve people, they starved themselves.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨opossums!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They let opossums drive now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨history rhymes, or something⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The more things change…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's totally not a Nazi tho⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a valid argument. However, conservatives refuse to make any connection between the tool, the wielder, and the fact that the tool is designed to make the job easier. Whether it be hammering a nail or killing people as quickly as possible. Usually followed by taking the absurd and hyperbolic argument that baseball bats or cars kill people too while ignoring that cars are specifically designed to avoid causing death and baseball bats are for sport with no intent to maximize harm like bullets or blades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New ‘Starship Troopers’ Movie in the Works from ‘District 9’ Filmmaker Neill Blomkamp (Exclusive)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just finished that book a while ago, and I’ve read a ton of Heinlein’s work. It would be interesting to see it put on the big screen in something more true to the book, but I gotta admit that I really like the movie too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's totally not a Nazi tho⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The gun is “just following orders.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's totally not a Nazi tho⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  More right wing “guns don’t kill people” bullshit logic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not elaborate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Generational warfare is pretty cringe. The chart isn’t even right, too. X was the highest percentage voting for trump generationally. I’m ashamed of my brethren.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*you wake up well rested in your house*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  $4.5 mil. If you’re lucky.

  Lol, I appreciate the sentiment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs help to solve the mystery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s why I said “seems like” and not “when I do it (this) happens”.

  You do you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This queue for the new swasticar⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like this take on the image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon needs help to solve the mystery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno how exhausted or drunk you’d have to be to pass out with one of those things inserted. Seems like it’d feel like a turd half out and your body would prefer you deal with that and not fall asleep.

  Beats me how much your mortgage is, prices I’m seeing for a 4080 Ti are north of $2500.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is smarter than a genius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only fanboys. The same kind that worship Musk or any other fellated-by-the-press CEO as some kind of hero. They softball any criticisms and turn them into positives - “He murdered a bunch of kids, but the creativity he got from the blood splatter and time spent in court-ordered community service got us this addictive device we’re all fawning over…let’s justify the ridiculous price and wait in line for one!” Something about objectively shitty people heading up organizations seems to attract sycophants and bootlickers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Been that way for years. There was a brief respite when people were switching to ASIC bitcoin mining and away from GPU intensive mining and you could actually get a GPU for a fair price, retail, non-scalper price gouging.

  Now it’s right back to basically unaffordable for a name brand GPU. Literally more than a mortgage payment.
