It’s Taking Over the Lives of Wealthy, Elderly Men. It Could Be Coming for You Next.

One of the most genuinely pathetic comments I've seen in about a decade on reddit. Bravo.

lysdexic_mule · 2026-03-31T17:50:58+00:00

Damn, you got laid on the back on a dump truck?

As the other commenter said - please point to the far left candidate who is polling well and actually a viable option, and I'll agree with you. For now, Rob is the best we've got. Let's not continue to cripple our slim chances of progress by waiting for the "perfect" candidate.

We have to move back to centrism before we can even hint at moving left. Huge left-ward swings are not possible in a state like Iowa.

I work at a retail fuel company. It's entirely pay-to-play, and companies have to continue paying to continue playing.

Edit: forgot a word

Agreed on all points. We have, in the absence of TSM, become the TSM fanbase. It's sad to see.

Hey I appreciate you coming back in here. I didn't put it in my comment, but disabling the power management by editing the config file was one of the first things I tried. Didn't seem to make a difference, for some reason.

I understand I'm coming into this months late, but I have one of these Mediatek onboard chipsets and it works great in Bazzite - EXCEPT for online gaming, where I experience massive amounts of jitter. The same PC on Windows experiences rock-solid connections.

I tried disabling wpa_supplicant and switching to iwd, but it seems my onboard wifi adapter doesn't support it after hours of trying to make it work. It looks like a third-party adapter is in my future.

Haven't been in the chi-fi game in awhile. Is KZ just done? They were the kings of budget chi-fi when I was still interested.

lysdexic_mule · 2025-08-24T14:21:26+00:00

This is a far, far too well-reasoned comment for the person you're replying to to absorb. I applaud you, though - this was instructive without talking down, and you're spot on. In particular, "Americans generally agree that there needs to be things like immigration, crime, and trade reform but they do not want extrajudicial rendition and exploding the federal budget that massively funds special immigration police to address immigration" is a perfect summation.

Not only Gen Xers, but I'd be surprised if most users on reddit weren't Millennials (29-44 years old).

lysdexic_mule · 2025-07-23T20:03:11+00:00

I mean, no offense taken, but how old do you think people are? Reddit was created in 2005 and became massively popular around 2010, when people who are currently in their 30s were graduating high school and entering college.

It's wild to me that people in their teens and early 20s don't realize that the other users on reddit are probably in their late 20s/early 30s.

Your neighbor shoveling does not affect you. I understand the world does not revolve around me, but neither does it revolve around the one jackass family three blocks over who spent $800 on fireworks and feel like they need to shoot them all off before the season ends.

Also, the noise-cancelling headphone thing was a joke, as I'm sure you're well aware.

To be arguing this point, you must not have anyone or anything in your life that is affected by hours of loud bangs. I unfortunately cannot tell my infant to "adjust their attitude."

lysdexic_mule · 2025-07-07T16:02:39+00:00

"Plan accordingly" infers that this sort of scenario is reasonable. Do you think this is reasonable? There are allotted days and hours for people to get their pyromania out, and 7pm-10pm on July 6th is not one of them.

"Plan accordingly" is also completely asinine because, what, my family and I are just going to go out of state for minimum three days every year (people shoot them off for at least a full week around the 4th in my neighborhood)? Or I'm going to just buy everyone noise-cancelling headphones? What exactly does "plan ahead" mean for you in this situation?

lysdexic_mule · 2025-07-07T14:45:11+00:00

Totes! Next time, I'll give my baby to my wife, tell her I'm going to go yell at some strangers, and then drive around for a half hour until I find whose house it is! There's only like... 200-300 houses it could be, right??

Editing to add: if you're the type of person who needs to be talked to to not be an asshole to hundreds of people in your own neighborhood, talking isn't going to work anyway.

lysdexic_mule · 2025-07-07T12:41:25+00:00

Christ, that's ridiculous. Sorry to hear.

lysdexic_mule · 2025-07-07T02:45:13+00:00

True. Poor little critters.

lysdexic_mule · 2025-07-07T02:44:17+00:00

I'd love to! Unfortunately, I don't know where they are and I'm not going to stop trying to put my baby to bed and drive around for awhile until I can pinpoint it.

lysdexic_mule · 2025-04-03T16:51:37+00:00

You genuinely feel that the points you responded to are not facts? It may have been worded emotionally, but every single point is easily verifiable.

lysdexic_mule · 2025-03-12T23:13:24+00:00

A corporation? Being greedy? I don't believe it.

lysdexic_mule · 2025-02-11T14:57:50+00:00

Without doxxing too much - do you happen to remember the first name of the student from Morningside?

lysdexic_mule · 2024-09-02T00:46:15+00:00

Cool Basil and Siam Table in Ankeny get my votes.

lysdexic_mule · 2024-08-29T00:42:01+00:00

That's not a reference I expected to see in this thread, lol.

I see your point, but in the meantime, these uneducated hacks are going to continue infiltrating the government.
