  • Possibly the only good idea ever conceived by Bill Gates was to release fine chalk dust into the upper atmosphere. We could even attach delivery systems to passenger jets so they release the dust at 30,000 feet which is cruising altitude, so this is done automatically with every flight. Chalk dust is non-toxic and even helps some plants grow. But leftists and “indigenous groups” (aka leftist groups wearing a mask) complained about it being a bad idea.

    If we can’t terraform Earth, how the hell do we ever move off-world and colonize other planets? This is the easiest world we will ever get to terraform and if we can’t do it here, we sure as hell won’t do it anywhere else.

    I swear to god most people are NPC’s and they spawn into reality with a phone in their hand. These 6.5" and 7" phones don’t fit in pants pockets. Yet I don’t see any guys out there wearing fanny packs or carrying purses around with them like women. Where do they stick them? Are they all sticking their phones up their butts?

    No. They have to not be real. I am surrounded by millions of NPC’s. There can’t be that many people sticking their phones up their butts.

    You can downvote me, NPC’s. But I know what you are. You don’t exist in reality when I can’t see you. Like Agent Smith computer programs, you only exist in cyberspace when I’m not immediately nearby.






  • I had a blue diamond frying pan that claimed to be non-stick and much tougher than teflon. It claimed to have a “ceramic” coating, but I looked into it and it was just some kind of resin. Stuff stuck to it and it chipped and peeled just like teflon. It might have been a little tougher, but you sure as hell couldn’t use stainless steel utensils on it like it claimed on the packaging.

    The only cookware I’ll use from now on is stainless steel or triply. Easy to clean, can use any utensils on it, and it’s non-stick enough if you grease it. Plus you can cook at any temperature! Which is the whole point of a frying pan!

    How did teflon frying pans even come into existence in the first place? Frying is done at high temperature, and teflon peels at high temperature! It defeats the entire purpose! Every teflon pan I’ve ever used has peeled and left awful cancer-causing debris in my food. Every other person I’ve ever seen using a teflon pan has had the same problem. It’s like big cancer has a monopoly on teflon pans and has brainwashed the public into wanting to buy the damn things.







  • I spent like $2000 playing Star Trek Online. Lockbox keys, lifetime sub, all sorts of ships, items, and boosts. They introduced Mark XIV equipment with a gambling-based crafting system. You could spend dilithium (which you could buy with $) to have a chance to upgrade your equipment.

    The straw that broke me? Their shitty customer service. I wanted to gear up an alt and give them the Jem’Hadar battleship with the Jem’hadar attack ship so they could launch the attack ships from it as fighters, which you could do if you had both. Problem was some ships were account bound, and some ships were character bound, and I lost track of which was which. I ended up claiming the box for one of them on the wrong character. Easy fix, right? Well not every MMO is run to the same standard as Blizzard. Craptic absolutely refused to help me. So I cut ties.

    It was after that, when I experienceced withdrawal, that I read about gambler’s fallacy and sunken cost fallacy and I really analyzed why it hurt so much to leave behind my addiction. I never went back, because I know that whole game is run like a casino. They do everything they can to hook you in.
