• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they gave you pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon’s a big believer in Ethical Altruism - the idea that any action you take is ethical as long as it improves life for someone. In his case ‘someone’ is future generations, ie. people who can’t tell him his actions on their behalf are wrong, because they don’t exist yet. It works as long as you don’t think about it too hard, which he doesn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure I recognise that cadence. Is that iambic pentameter? (Being the only one I can name.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why were you up so long?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have been in a prison of bone for your entire life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I happen to like these bones! I grew them myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Local companies are out-competing the multinational on price, quality and local knowledge. Isn’t this the free market working as designed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  See? I knew we’d find a use for him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I really want to answer your rhetorical question, because you’ve badly misunderstood how popes work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Monarchs are like cardboard boxes. Someday they’ll be useful again, you just know it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you’re not filtering by your subscribed communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d prefer if Lemmy didn’t adopt the ‘divorce him/her, hit the gym, lawyer up’ rubber stamp comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like every other post on here is deleted shortly after being posted?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess some people haul their baggage with them wherever they happen to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's best to take a piss before eating a hot chip.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot as in spicy? Yeah. I’ve made that mistake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Found this. Made it better.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A big improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I continue with exercise if I didn't get enough sleep?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had enough internet for one day. I read the question as “Should I continue with existence” and thought you were talking about fully discorporating out of the universe rather than take a nap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the United States; is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  American cheese doesn’t look like it’ll ever deteriorate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People whose cooking videos say like, "These are so good I make them every week! I make this dish twice a week! I make these three times a week!..." must eat like 6 meals a day.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just thinking about that while watching youtube last night. “This recipe is so easy I make it every day!” No you don’t, you fucking liar. I can’t make your recipe now because it’ll taste like lies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Afganistan said no when the US wanted Bin Laden. Two and a half trillion dollars later the exact same people are back in charge and now they’re armed with modern American weapons instead of vintage Soviet ones. Everyone lost except the people who said no to the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what the US congress is any more, but in other countries it’s because they really really want to expel someone and the deportee’s home country might say “no thanks, they’re your problem”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there extensions that turn every comment on your posts into hate comments?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s this, an attempt to kick an addiction?

  I’ve never heard of an extension like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which actor did not have a single bad film?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people everywhere are slightly left of centre. Most leaders everywhere are slightly right of centre*.

  *Not in the American sense. Y’all crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think also Manbat?

  To be fair, the only one of my friends with a PHD is also the most supervillain-y.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  About twice as fast as my car is capable of going, downhill and with a tailwind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How have I never thought of the parody cryptid Bigfart until now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You had bigger things on your mind. Origin of the cosmos, ultimate destiny of mankind, stuff like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you eat shrimp shells when eating shrimp?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It never occurred to me that the shells would be edible. I mean, I don’t eat clam or oyster shells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would humans have a mandate to raise a responsible AGI, should they,

  I think we’d have to, mandate or no. It’s impossible to reliably predict the behaviour of an entity as mentally complex as us but we can at least try to ensure they share our values.

  are they qualified to raise a vastly nonhuman sentient entity

  The first one’s always the hardest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s okay to hold sentient beings in slavery.

  But on the other hand, it may be necessary to say “hold on, you’re not ready to join society yet, we’re taking responsibility for you until you’ve matured and been educated”.

  So my answer would be ‘it depends’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We refer to jeans as "a pair of jeans", but the only thing that there are two of is the legs, it's still only one item of clothing.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could that be because it’s a French word and they pluralise differently?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Zambonis right-side drive in countries that use right-side drive cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in a right-side drive country.

  The first time I ever heard of a Zamboni was when Ryan Renolds drove one over a guy in the first Deadpool movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If there is ever a remake of LotR ( i hope not), i would love to see Nicolas Cage as Saruman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d quite like to see Michael Fassbender in the role.

  I didn’t really enjoy Prometheus, but it showed us he can do subtly creepy.
