Great question. Force of habit that I really should get better from. USA used to be cool (or so I thought) back when I started participating in this place. They have sunk very low …

I think you're absolutely on point and right that you shouldn't be listening to me, a potential internet nobody. There's no way you could tell me or anyone here apart from an AI at…

Gabe is pretty cool and Valve is an amazing company that has done great things for both PC and Linux gaming. But this is not enough to counter the absolute shitshow that is USA rig…

"Fascist" is not a buzzword. It's your political reality. Are you culpable of letting that reality be?

That's kind of an odd thing to point out. If my buds are stronger, I use less of them. It's like having a bottle of beer vs bottle of whiskey. I don't exactly imbibe them in the sa…

If only it was legal, I'd happily replace my alcohol use with cannabis, and I don't think I'm alone in my age group. Not a big surprise that that yields improved brain health.

>If the officers believed the armed man they were scuffling with fired a shot then it wouldn't be murder. Is that really how it works in USA? A belief that an incapacitated person …

Didn't the execution of Pretti get videoed? Wouldn't it be trivial to find out from the audio whether his gun fired accidentally before ICE murdered him? And to be clear: they murd…

Helium Browser's existence finally probably weaned me off of Firefox. RIP, was nice using you for 20 years. But don't worry guys, given my selection strategies' success lately, thi…

I was vacationing in New York, and we went to some pretty standard-looking mall bookshop somewhere near Poughkeepsie some time in mid 90s. And I bought an interesting looking comic…
