- Comment on How do middle aged family men handle it? 8 hours ago:
Well 60 hours work week is tough and having children to take care of is going to be even harder. You’ll manage a while but not forever.
Find another job that lets you get away with 40 hours would be my first suggestion. Moving somewhere where pay to living cost ratio is better would also be an option.

Kamala Harris. Shes not that forgettable is she?
- Comment on Backbone 21 hours ago:
Because you’re in a group of 10001 people with Harris signs?
- Comment on Um, actually, Neville Chamberlain didn't "cave" to Hitler, he actually got a lot out of the deal. 1 day ago:
Satire by misrepresentation of history. Of course you’ll get these kinds of reply.
- Comment on You should start doing this today 2 days ago:
Why? I can just not see them again and save myself pronouncing a handful of syllables and practicing my self control (because I for sure can’t practice with the gingerbread cookies)
- Comment on So sad to see a really old guy driving an expensive sports car 4 days ago:
I’m happy to see them. He probably saved all life to buy his childhood dream car.
- Comment on What are some good memoirs or autobiography about someone who had a rough childhood, especially victims of child abuse/neglect? 5 days ago:
Only similar I’ve read is David Goggins-can’t bust me
- Comment on Woke ass plant 5 days ago:
I’m sure you can find someone who would react like that but no, this is not something you should expect to encounter.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 5 days ago:
Same thing that makes me try everything new. Boredom and an afternoon to spare. Was fun for a while but lost interest once I’ve noticed the patterns.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 5 days ago:
I’ve not tried any paid ones. The free ones I’ve tried have forgot what I said after a few back and forths.
- Comment on What is the catalyst that actually causes (financial) bubbles to burst? 1 week ago:
Any bad news could trigger it. Noone knows exactly what or when.
- Comment on How come NK doesn't just come out and say we are in trouble and need help? Like their lack of food and stuff? I really don't see a downside for a country admit they were wrong and need help 1 week ago:
The leadership would not stay in power if they did that.
- Comment on How many virtual machines can you nest? 1 week ago:
Best approach: Try it. Tell us how it goes. It seems interesting to me but not interesting enough to spend an afternoon doing it.
Weird problems: some virtualising software uses specific hardware features and just outright does not work in a virtual machine.
Your limit should be how many times bigger your actual cpu or ram is compared to what is used by operating system + virtualization software.

I’m not a Brit, but when I hear chav it’s not working class I think of. It’s someone young, skipping school and some unholy mix of gopnik and mumble rapper.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 1 week ago:
Learnt in a ford mondeo, some early 2000s model.
Still got a manual as my daily driver.
- Comment on What's the key to a woman's heart and does finding love have a cutoff point? 1 week ago:
Then you get to pick. What do you think makes a person awesome to be around and what would you like to aspire to be like?
- Comment on What's the key to a woman's heart and does finding love have a cutoff point? 1 week ago:
Should probably focus on mitigating the extreme anxiety and agoraphobia as step 1.
What are your strengths? How do you get into a position where you get to show your strengths but your weakness does not matter.
- Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts? 1 week ago:
No. A picture of me and my father from when we were kids should dispell any such suspicions.
- Comment on how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy? 2 weeks ago:
I usually say "If your job was fun they would charge admission instead of paying you. "
- Comment on How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events? 2 weeks ago:
Predictions are hard, especially about the future.
You don’t say exactly what you want to predict so it’s hard to say exactly what you need to learn.
If you want to predict the next economic crash you’ll have to study a lot of economics. If you want to predict the next pandemic you’ll have to study medicine etc. Years of study no matter what.
Once you know a lot about a topic you have to put a ton of effort into study current events and still be wrong a lot of the time.
- Comment on We gotta be more encouraging 2 weeks ago:
There are 99 crackpots for every genius without a degree.
- Comment on Are there really no stupid questions? 2 weeks ago:
Phrasing conspiracy theories as a questions does not make them a questions, stupid or not.
Troll grade: C-.
- Comment on Sad but true 2 weeks ago:
Probably, but being stupid is a worse curse than being ugly.
- Comment on Why don't police use rubber bullets instead of live rounds? I get if someone is holding a loaded weapon. But wouldn't a rubber bullet have the same effect with out putting holes in another person? 2 weeks ago:
When you don’t intend to kill rubber bullets are still very dangerous.
If you have to kill (armed and attacking) they are not dangerous enough.
Then you have the issue of less than lethal weapons having a much lower threshold for when they are used and then accidentally killing or maiming someone.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Depends more on what octave you hit when moaning.
- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 3 weeks ago:
You’re not supposed to be insecure about it.
You can be honest , you can joke about it. I’d probably just tell them it’s so boringly average, I measure every day and compare to the wikipedia article on penis size.

In a frictionless vaccuum 45° would be max range.
- Comment on I do it at least 35 times just in case 3 weeks ago:
The key is gentle teasing and then a sudden switch into a resolute, vigorous finish. Keeps the wear and tear down.
- Comment on I do it at least 35 times just in case 3 weeks ago:
Okay what about going extreme at thethe other end? I need to know what happens to the 60-90 times per month group.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 4 weeks ago:
The only reason I put pants on is because it’s be arrested otherwise.
That being said, comfortable has priority over good looking and I don’t think I’ve ever had a compliment on how I dress since grandma saw me in a suit when I graduated 20 something years ago.
