• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fund managers worry about Trump’s mental state amid tariff debacle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they had stopped for 2 minutes between lines of coke to think about this, they would’ve realized this about a decade ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is failing to stop dangerous disinformation in the world’s most spoken languages.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ban engagement driven algorithms!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America is fucked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With the current state of the news, April's fools aren't fun anymore because they can't be distinguished as easily as before⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what the white houses april fools joke will be. Probably something along the lines of “We’re sending humanitarian aid to Myanmar” or something tone-deaf like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there democratic countries whose democratic institutions survived an auto-coup attempt?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume a coup by the reigning government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wasted time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These fuckers will clean out a pond in your backyard in no time, so don’t worry about them. They alternate between a range of ponds anyway, it’s not like it’s gonna starve. They are beautiful birds though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs | The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  x 3 + 3 obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I admire your passion. None of the things you mention are mutually exclusive with generally preferring to rise early, however. Preferring to rise early is not a statement against people working night shifts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whistleblower Alleges Meta Was Ready to Censor Content for Chinese Government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He’ll be shocked about how he ended up looking like a bathroom wall. Maybe a nice light beige/yellow-brown, which is the color of natural rubber?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is really about habits. I used to be a night owl, but changed my habits gradually and now I’m a morning person. You might have some genetic predisposition towards staying up late, but even so this is something that you can change, I believe.

  What helped me, is that I started enjoying waking up early a lot more than staying up late.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MSI and ASUS hike GeForce RTX 50 series prices in official stores, now up to $3,409 for RTX 5090⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s about 10x more than I have ever paid for a gpu and will ever pay for a gpu. Who tf buys this at hose prices? You can go on a 3 month vacation to Thailand for that kind of money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tiny ramen shop⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to imagine there are gnomes in lightpoles on little bikes generating the electricity required to keep the lamp lit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaked video shows UnitedHealth CEO saying insurer will continue practices that combat 'unnecessary' care⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the laws create the conditions. In Europe health care tends to be strictly regulated, so you don’t get these wolves in health care. It’s actually considered quite a dull career that pays decently but nothing out of the ordinary, even for the higher ups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I chose the penguin⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When you click on “What!?” it’s the same text but capitalized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That chicken's name? Joe Rogan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been watching Newsradio after seeing a very funny clip, which has Joe Rogan as the IT/maintenance guy. He’s not very funny, but I was surprised it was the same guy as I had only ever heard of him as a podcaster.

  Lemmy: very human to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colin Anderson Calls GTA 2 the ‘Unsung Hero’ of the Franchise | Retro Gaming News 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree it was the best in the series. I never quite enjoyed the later gta games as much as the unbridled fun of gta 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza rule⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once did something like that to myself. Not satisfied with the tame spiciness of jalapenos on pizza, I decided to put a bhut jolokia (aka ghost pepper) on one. That was a profoundly dumb idea.

  I was blinded by the need for spice and suffered twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So bad it was actually entertaining⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So bad it was actually entertaining⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”

  Not sure if it’s still open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in the same camp, although I wish it wasn’t so. I’ve gotten okayish at Rocket League with mouse and keyboard, but that really is a controller game.
