Some wtf material right here.
- Comment on I committed the classic blunder: opening the front page of reddit 3 days ago:
All is terrible. Front Page should be your subscribed content, no? At least it was that way on old.reddit with RES.

I had to go look it up.
It’s for real.
“Family-oriented programming”
So Lifetime/Hallmark content with Jesus shilling for a chicken restaurant.

I love tech “help” that basically suggests you nuke everything you’re trying to save.
- Comment on Important life choices 5 days ago:
It’s called “single stream recycling”. We have it where I live. I wish I could have confidence in any recycling these days. Too many stories of separated trash all ending up in the dump anyway.
- Comment on He was pretty awful too, you know. 6 days ago:
Ford was a messed up dude. He’s really idolized as an industrialist, but he was a control freak with possible other psych issues. Undermined his son, Edsel at many opportunities because he was a control freak. On top of his anti-semitic, pro-NAZI, anti-union antics.

It’s getting a lot of miles. I wonder why they gave the “trickle” character a dick chin.
- Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’ 1 week ago:
It’s rock music. It’s “reefer madness”. Then it’s metal music with satanic messaging when played backwards. Now it’s video games. Same old blame game while never tackling the actual problems of lack of psych care, real societal pressures like financial difficulties, and more.
- Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’ 1 week ago:
It’s likely more than half of adults in the US play video games. About 40% of those play some kind of shooter. There are 258 million adults in the US. That’s ~129 million gamers, and ~51 million “shooters”.
Out of 51 million, they think they can link one to a game and condemn the genre?
Whatever. Try again The only people that think so are the pearl-clutchers and the press.

Seconded. Leaves good wall space to the left for a soap or shampoo holder.
- Comment on how often do you get wasted? 1 week ago:
I think after 45-60 getting “wasted” happens naturally.
- Comment on What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting? 1 week ago:
They all enshittify. That’s how it goes in pursuit of The Bottom Line. Once you’re established and run out of room to innovate or grow in your market space, you then start squeezing employees, product quality, and customers for more money to keep the shareholders happy.
One of the most infamous examples of literally saying “Don’t Be Evil” as a company motto used by Google, they turned to shit just like all the rest.

Wait until you see what Americans think about the rest of the world. If they bother to at all.
- Comment on Memory is a fickle mistress 1 week ago:
I don’t understand anyone starting from the premise they’re scientists. Nobody made that claim about the hosts? They’re very much entertainers who have an educational angle (sort of). I follow Adam and one thing he discusses often enough about the Mythbusters is that they were storytellers first, the scientific process was part of the story, and teaching was never really the intent even though we all feel like we learned from the show.

- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
And they’d have to buy parts and materials from the same suppliers feeding the major automakers who have already streamlined their logistics and costs from the smelter to the finished product - and you know they’d exploit those efficiencies and supplier connections to create financial hardship on the upstart automaker. Same way airlines use fare wars to undercut competitors to pressure them out of a market.
There’s nothing the business world hates more than a well treated and well paid workforce. They’ll band together to crush the idea.

If they’re going to break the rule about washing hands they’re not going to follow the door handle one either.
- Comment on Anon reads the news 1 week ago:
ITT: some really healthy skepticism over some of the “evidence” allegedly written by the shooter. I’m kinda impressed. Some other lemmy communities are leaning harder in to conspiracy ideas (planted evidence or whatever), but quite a few of the comments here are taking the time to analyze the info.
- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 week ago:
The broken window theory certainly applies to the wealthy.

Nope. That’s inside the engine core. This is just an aerodynamic tail cone for the engine that serves to streamline exhaust airflow and maintain cross sectional area for the exhaust.

- Comment on Creep. Smdh 1 week ago:
The F’d up part is really the principle that you can do all the good things and not be a bad person yet still go to hell because you refuse god’s existence - or maybe think god is a POS for all the awful things it (allows to happen or actively makes happen, depending on one’s rationalizations) to innocent people.

This isn’t entirely true. The fruit flies eat everything that comes out of the fermenting fruit, including the yeast and other bacteria.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 2 weeks ago:
But that did not stop social media commenters from leaping to conclusions and from showing a blatant lack of sympathy over the death of a man who was a husband and father of two children.
Don’t be clueless, NYT. Similar to the blatant lack of sympathy shown by corporate execs over the damages their policies cause in the pursuit of infinite increases to the bottom line? I mean, after a few tens of thousands of collective years of life lost I guess it’s human suffering is just a statistic… The C-suite is well paid enough to not fret much. All those people denied care were fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons…you get the idea. His life is NOT worth more than those he traded for shareholder approval.
- Comment on Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, these are obviously different. All kinds of visible differences. Pockets, color of bag, strap sizes, no string on hood, lapel looks different, one looks more like a “hoodie” than a jacket… Just doesn’t match very well at all.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
“Terminal illness”
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
The fictional outcome that might work best - the shooter has a terminal condition, escapes punishment until their final weeks, publicly admits what and why they did it, and dies before the courts can really do anything. That way there’s closure, justice is left in limbo, and the shooter doesn’t really escape, either. No happy ending, it’s not a happy story.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
That Kennedy quote is getting a lot of use:
”Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
Most people are sick of seeing the wealthy escape consequences, they know the wealthy are the largest benefactors of a lot of the issues we face, from climate change to health care claims being denied, they drive disparity to greater extremes, and control the media and profit from the resulting unrest.
They’re parasites. They offer nothing worthwhile.
