Thanks! My lazy ass brain forgot that shows can also be found on imdb, not just single films. And here I was, thinking I found a glitch.
- Comment on Youngest actor ever 3 days ago:
In hindsight it looks pretty obvious - for some reason I didn’t even take a closer look at the imdb page of The Young and the Restless, and I had no idea it was a show. Thanks for the answer!
- Comment on Youngest actor ever 3 days ago:
Thanks for cracking the case - I never heard of that title before, and I automatically assumed that would be a standalone film. It makes perfect sense, knowing it’s actually a show. Thanks for the info!

We have a family album with a bunch of photos from my brother’s toddlerhood in ~'83, mostly black and white. Those cameras were still around for a while (not in South Africa, though). Maybe family heirloom, maybe it was just cheaper, or some hobby stuff.

Boring answer: T-Rex has proportionally short arms. It can’t reach the Internet.
Actual answer: They didn’t have a choice in that. They programmed it at gunpoint, held by a T-Rex.

- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 3 weeks ago:
Even though I’m aware Google would still have a lot of my data even if I deleted everything possible, but one of the main reasons I swapped (apart from the manifest V3 controversy) was the privacy problem (yes, I know, I’m still using Facebook, regardless). I haven’t thought of the container aspect, though - thanks for that.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 3 weeks ago:
I switched to FF after having enough of Chrome’s shenanigans. I don’t make changes easily, and I took the sacrifice of not being able to receive calls over Facebook (desktop browser, and some of my acquaintances wouldn’t leave FB), and I still preferred Firefox after that.
And now they want to turn it into another Chrome? I could still just use Chrome and have the lost functionality. I mean I won’t, but they will just lose users with that direction.

I can’t wait for my country to introduce the Euro so that I can finally ascertain how much a golf ball weighs (almost).
- Comment on Dirt Man 4 weeks ago:
This joke would be rather hard to translate to my language because we use the same word for dirt (as in, ‘soil’ - in fact, in certain cases for actual soil, as well) as for Earth. Or ground.
We only have a separate word for the unclean meaning of dirt, or a compound word containing dirt to denote soil.
I can easily imagine this as an actual attempt from a beginner English speaker from home.

While I never heard that saying before, I can totally get behind it. I truly appreciate it, thanks.
- Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny? 1 month ago:
Oh no (yes?), I totally get what you’re saying, and I’m able to process these situations (I think I’ve seen enough during that 15-20 years of playing with/against kids), that part doesn’t bother me; what I was really curious about is how you, personally, would interpret that brief response, without any prior context.
- Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny? 1 month ago:
Oh yeah, I don’t have a problem dealing with the nastier version, I was just wondering how you would interpret the exchange, provided it was the first and only 4 characters you see from a random person.
- Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny? 1 month ago:
While I was thinking of something similar, it’s important that in this particular case we’re talking about a conversation with a stranger, and not about breaking news. Now, I get that it all depends - what I’m curious about is your assumption of the situation’s vibe.
- Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny? 1 month ago:
I had the feeling - but, considering the above, which one would you think of when setting this from someone as the first reaction?

Does adding fuck really change anything?
Yeah, it makes it even worse : ). I was thinking just the same first - however, I’m not in my early twenties / late teens anymore, and I’ve been wondering if that was the case with the younger generation.

shut up is also a rude phrase in english
I was thinking the same! But I started seeing videos lately where a conversational partner (typically a young girl, but could be some bias) responded with ‘shut up’ in a cheerful manner, seemingly meaning some pleasant surprise mixed with disbelief. And this feels rather recent to me - hence my doubt. But I’m relieved if I’m not the only one, thanks. I wonder if it’s a generational (or a non-existent?) thing.

It would surely be much more peaceful. Let’s just re-draw the borders and leave everything else. Just look at them spooning lovingly.

Wow. You got it perfectly right: everybody knows where that plastic went. This is why I wrote it like that, and didn’t have to explain how it got dumped in the ocean all along. I wasn’t playing riddles, I assumed it was otherwise obvious and common knowledge. Jeez, sorry if it didn’t come off the way I meant.

But about 15 years ago China stopped buying the waste
Guess where that waste used to go
