- Comment on Netflix is starting to phase out its cheapest ad-free plan 10 months ago:
i’ve never bought netflix and went to visit some friends who had it. since they sleep until noon i had the morning to kill so i tried the netflix-- reminded me of the old days of flipping through hundreds of tv channels trying to find something to watch and finding nothing. “people pay for this shit?” was the initial thought
- Comment on Magnificent chunky shooter Selaco gets a 'MEGA' update 10 months ago:

- Comment on Surgeon general wants tobacco-style warning applied to social media platforms 10 months ago:
lol are you trying to say that the basic knowledge that humans (primates, really) don’t have an inherent urge to be included and well regarded by their peers is wrong? the perceived lack of which is causing all these social media problems in the first place? or are you just saying i’m wrong because i said something?
- Comment on Surgeon general wants tobacco-style warning applied to social media platforms 10 months ago:
ok. the urge to smoke cigarettes is not something all humans develop as they age, the way we develop the psychological need to “belong” and be popular with the in-crowd. but yea, keep thinking the solution to the cigarette problem will also be the solution to the 100% unrelated social problem

- Comment on Surgeon general wants tobacco-style warning applied to social media platforms 10 months ago:
great idea genius. “do not eat the forbidden fruit” has worked soooo well from the beginning of time until now. social media is a problem, but it’s rooted in the same instinct that makes teenage fucking a problem–no one’s going to “solve” it. best you can do is educate and hope for the best

- Comment on Instagram is testing “unskippable” ads that you can’t scroll past 11 months ago:
