It’s a real leopards ate my face situation
- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 3 weeks ago:
Seems excessive. Loads of people have spent many many years in as little as 18 Sq. Ft. Why can’t people just be happy with that?

Obviously they mean bury it in some sort of water-tight container like plastic.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
Fahrenheit is literally a German dude making a scale from, “scheiße its chilly outside” to “oh mein gott, its hot out!”
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
It’s that extra “one” of incredulity.
40 degrees, that’s just too hot.
41? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
- Comment on Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" does feel good and isn't satisfying? 2 months ago:
It might not help you, but it helped me to recognize when laying in bed trying to “sleep in” wasn’t going to happen. If I’m not asleep again in 5 minutes and it’s past a certain time (6:30 for me), fuck it. My body just aches if I lay in bed awake trying to sleep. I get up and enjoy the quiet morning.
- Comment on Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation 2 months ago:
The problem is we talk about the economy in terms like “revenue” “profit” or “prices”.
We need to change the language of the economy to appeal to its true creed: line go up. It’s Economics 101. Line go up, forever.
Hence, I propose we talk about the cost of things on units of “not getting fucked”
Use phrases like, “the not getting fucked on tomato sauce has been dropping lately”
- Comment on Telecom will pay $1 million over deepfake Joe Biden robocall 2 months ago:
Let’s just cut 30 jobs to make it up within the year.
But while we’re at it, might as well just round it up to cutting 600 jobs, right? Then we can still have those bonuses!

We all know the internet is a series of tubes, but what they didn’t tell you is the data within is transmitted by gerbils.

Now it’s a feel-good story about community!
- Comment on Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag 4 months ago:
I completely agree when it comes to luxury items. In fact, I fully support the luxury version industry.
When this shit applies to the standard version is where we should be drawing our ire; when the $20 bag costs $0.11 to make.

- Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 4 months ago:
Maybe we need to come up with a way to deface oil company buildings that does make headlines
- Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 4 months ago:
But why Stonehenge? Why not oil company buildings? I believe oil companies generally have buildings. Large buildings. With their names on them.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 6 months ago:
I pause videos to read what’s on screen.
The add on I need is to automatically send the advertiser a message telling them I’m boycotting their product due to their participation in increasingly shitty advertising.

- Comment on What would be a good glue to repair this spatula with that wont he toxic or come undone in a dishwasher? 8 months ago:
“How can I fix this so I don’t have to throw it away?”
“Go back in time, idiot!”
- Comment on What would be a good glue to repair this spatula with that wont he toxic or come undone in a dishwasher? 8 months ago:
I’ve used tin foil to make the same repair. You can be as sloppy as you like, after it fits snuggly, you can just peel/rub off any excess.
- Comment on Florida teens arrested for creating “deepfake” AI nude images of classmates 8 months ago:
While I was initially inclined to agree with you on the argument of “where’s the law, where’s the line” the article is pretty clear there is a law for it where they live.
On the one hand, yeah, I generally agree that children shouldn’t be arrested for something they’re doing just goofing around (to them it seems like a victimless crime), but on the other hand, it’s a sexual crime against children which I firmly believe should have zero tolerance.
AI seems to be getting the same “what can you do about it” privilege as guns, which should be the focus.
- Comment on If frozen embryos are considered as children, then it must be acceptable to freeze children. 8 months ago:
It’s always been okay. Conservatives don’t give a shit about child safety.
Freeze 'em, starve 'em, shoot 'em… as long as there’s human suffering to be had!
- Comment on 8 months ago:
That’s like arguing that 99% of the light off a heating element is a laser beam directed straight into deep space.
