LMAO redditors unironically defending slavery when it’s done by non-whites. Classic reddit.
- Comment on Harry Houdini Flew a Flimsy Aircraft in Diggers Rest. But Was He Really the First to Fly in Australia? 1 week ago:
I enjoyed reading about Lawrence Hargrave but his story is incredibly sad.
- Comment on aerodynamics 1 week ago:
I think it would be hydrodynamic and screw evolution I want my beef to be as aerodynamic as an F1.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 weeks ago:
One of the original supporting data sources was a myth of the Ainu people containing a woman who hunted.
If you want biased and unscientific sources keep digging into their claims.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 weeks ago:
I refuted this article when it was published based on their incredibly biased and cherry picked data sources which were entirely baseless.
I wish more people were willing to apply critical thinking and analysis to such claims. All falsified claims are a setback and detriment to humankind’s comprehension of the universe.
- Comment on Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund 2 weeks ago:
I received a refund in 2018 though they have since tried changing their EULA and TOS to make it harder, they have no legal standing to refuse a refund to Australian customers.
I was refunded for around $750 USD IIRC and at one point was in email contact with Will Leverett prior to my refund being approved.
- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 2 weeks ago:
their existence proves that sex isn’t just a binary.
This argument has always struck me as odd as in virtually every other discussion we would accept that the exception ‘proves the rule’.
Humans have two hands, except when they don’t due to something impacting fetal development.
Humans have two kidneys, except when they don’t due to an error in fetal development or as a result of disease or injury.
There’s diversity to sex that requires a more complicated scheme to account for everybody.
Or just let the exceptions be exceptions with no social stigma rather than refusing to recognise that the vast majority of humans, and mammals, can be accurately identified as one of two distinct sexes.
- Comment on From baby boomers to alphas, every generation struggles when buying a first home 3 weeks ago:
Not surprising that people who aren’t bothering to read the article are down voting.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know if Dr. Strange would technically be lower because he hasn’t been practicing for a long time? But I see what you mean.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
Dr. Strange, if he’s practicing medicine, might decide not to try and save you because it would hurt his stats.
JD would try.
I honestly can’t recall if JD specialised.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 4 weeks ago:
Honestly Korean brands are just not options anymore, between the ads from LG and Samsung, and the spying by Hyundai and Kia there’s simply no reason to buy their products.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
Given the same medical technology I would place JD the highest and furthest right.
Not just because I like the character but because he truly does give a shit about his patients.

If you thought communities built on FOSS would be friendly to Nintendo then you were really uninformed.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
I never said the original ceased to exist, or complained about it, I said I don’t like the remake.
The battle system is obviously the very first thing that made me dislike it so I very much disagree that your opinion is objectively true.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 1 month ago:
Why wouldn’t you want more of what you love?
…it’s not the game that I loved, not even close. I bought the first remake, got to the first boss, and uninstalled.
Square are dead to me.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
Sometimes people want to play with a toy and not scream at their OS because of… millions of possible reasons.
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 1 month ago:
CGP Grey is a treasure
- Comment on Donors 1 month ago:
You’re the only person here failing to comprehend some very basic english.
- Comment on Donors 1 month ago:
Are you really that braindead? An anonymous donation can mean the donor requested their name not be made public, it doesn’t necessarily stop the University from know where the money came from.
- Comment on Huawei will replace Windows with homegrown HarmonyOS in upcoming PCs 1 month ago:
How are your comments not in the public domain? That would void the entire purpose of the license.
Though personally I hope entire instances would be operated under such a licence.
- Comment on YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% 1 month ago:
YouTube has a monopoly and it’s no surprise people are frustrated, especially those who aren’t tech aware enough to continue blocking ads.
- Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 1 month ago:
As if I needed more reasons to be happy he was reduced to a fine past
- Comment on Store these system requirements in your head compartment before Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 takes off 1 month ago:
Shit article and idiotic web design.
Opening the image to view the specs on mobile buts a giant navigation arrow over the intel ideal specs.
To sum it up: amd 7900x and 7900 xt for ‘ideal’ or Intel… something cpu that melts itself and nvidia 4980.

Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely
- Comment on Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations. 2 months ago:
On mobile I can avoid ads by using a VPN to my home network which then has pihole. Usually I just don’t watch any videos on mobile

I don’t have premium, and I don’t see any ads either

A bad way to go. I hope this is the catalyst for change in Uganda.
- Comment on Canada moves to limit immigration amid strained relations with US 2 months ago:
Fox news should be banned from all instances. They have repeatedly been found and claimed themselves to NOT be a news organisation.
Fox has literally argued in court that is entertainment and that ‘no reasonable person would believe any of its content to be true.’

Evangelion spans some extreme emotions that few pieces of media manage. It is absolutely worth a watch.
