  • In all my days, the two most hated comments I dropped were:

    1. Explaining that traveling specific speeds is not inherently less safe, but that context of conditions and location heavily change how safe we feel.

    2. Attempting to give someone a free trip across the country so that I could have a body to assign one of her three cats to, since it was just after covid and finding any way to get a cat across the country was strangely difficult or exceptionally expensive. Apparently I’m a terrible person for not including a place to stay, or a return trip, or anything? Like… I’m trying to save money getting a cat across the country, why would I then spend more money for someone I literally don’t know? It was more of a ‘please help get cat from a to b, I’ll pay for it’ Ended up dragging my wife with me for the third person because people were being weird and angry about it.



  • I appreciate you commenting to me with full support and care for the topic at hand. It is quite educational for anyone who happens across it and doesn’t already understand how simple it is for plastics to leech their way into basically anything, and I suspect the reason most places stopped using Styrofoam containers quite awhile ago (plus how absolutely terrible it is for the environment). I’m hopeful for a plastic free future, there are some really good alternatives coming down the pipeline for now and it will be interesting to see which of the various technologies becomes mainstream. I’m rooting for seaweed personally. I also really like the work that has been done with various fungi for form fitting packing supplies.


  • I know it’s not really the topic you considered… But yes, I do believe every drug should be legalized. If you consider the benefits alone it should be obvious that it is the correct choice.

    Drugs made by lisenced people/locations that use safe ingredients and are open to litigation if they end up making a bad batch.

    The revenue collected isn’t going to some drug lord overseas, it’s going into the country which you live instead.

    Dispensaries can be used secondary as a councelling/rehabilitation center.

    The long and the short if it is that if people want them, they will get them. I live in a place that hasn’t legalized weed yet… But if you are around certain neighborhoods at around 9am, it starts to smell very obvious that legality doesn’t matter. While currently that’s not surprising as many states near mine have legalized, we’ll before that happened things were exactly the same.

    I don’t want people to be addicted to drugs, but I don’t see why we as a society shouldn’t benefit at all from someone who is.


  • For me it’s not about TikTok. It’s about using whatever flimsy, poorly worded law they will make to ban a platform I don’t use to open the door for further bans and possible censorship in the future. A platform should be allowed to function if it can. If it’s horribly made, or supremely unprofitable it’ll find its own way out. I don’t use it, I don’t plan on ever using it, and honestly it doesn’t affect my daily life outside of my mother in law thinking that some of the pallet crafts on there are worthwhile and me having to explain that they’ll look good for a moment and then fall apart rather quickly.










  • You take your fractional pennies and get out of here with those rough guesses I can’t refute or deny!

    I’d honestly be surprised if a majority of any social space was bots… However I do believe a majority of initial posts are bot generated. Especially for news based spaces. It just makes sense to plug in a bot to whatever biased news source you subscribe to and just have it post new articles every 5 minutes.

    Much like the average American voter, I believe in that 50% silent users who are often forgotten. 25% active users, and that other 25% can be whatever ghosts in the system the OP is after.

    My numbers are also butthole deriven.
