  If introversion is not socially acceptable (as “creepy” implies), it follows that public healthcare systems should provide free cocaine to those afflicted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future⁩ ⁨⁨52⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not ugly (it reminds me of British Airways, if anything), but there’s a loud, post-Brexit insecurity to the prevalence of the flag. At least they ditched the Tory-era plan to redraw the BR arrow logo in the style of the cross on the Union Jack (though maybe Farage will revive it to distract from whatever looting his goons will be doing).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MegaThread: Under 16 lockout/verification/ID required⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Streaming companies routinely block VPNs, as does Reddit. There are security companies which aggregate and maintain lists of VPN IPs, which they sell to such companies. It is possible that use of such services could be made a baseline of “reasonable measures”.

  Meanwhile in Russia, there are car stickers which read “To Berlin, for German women”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen the assertion that silver is a safer bet than gold. Less glitzy, but still precious and with more industrial uses.

  Of course, if civilisation collapses completely, neither will matter unless someone will trade you something for your krugerrands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How customer service jobs be⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  As somebody else said, the US (and other societies with similar levels of customer entitlement) would be improved by universal national service in retail/hospitality

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Body parts of baby found in freezer at Tokyo adult entertainment business⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  New headless body in topless bar just dropped

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Jamaican accent just makes me smile⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t they spell the specific Jamaican language “Patwa”, to differentiate it from the idea of a patois in general?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can you tell from this photo alone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard that in Kim Katsuragi’s voice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump: When I walk through the white house, young women say thank you very much.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  “Unlike Obama, I haven’t guiltied any galaxies to a zegnatronic rocket society”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are people with High functioning autism allowed to become police officers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If the stereotype of autistic people having an oversensitive sense of injustice and not accepting commonly socially accepted rationalisations justifying it are true, then that could disqualify them from police work, given that the job is about enforcing the law as it is written.

  It’s Russia.

  He wasn’t going to keep those 27 years anyway, and climbing the career ladder, having a few kids and steadily paying off a mortgage must have somehow not seemed like a compelling alternative

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Majority of Americans think Ukraine territorial concessions, troop cap would hand victory to Russia⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Have they done a poll on how many think water is wet for comparison?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  On the other hand, a few well-connected people would miss out on sizeable profits, so who’s to say which option is better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump appears to be sleepy during the last cabinet meeting⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  America’s least woke president

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bread mold⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Some of those times, he probably ingested enough ergot alkaloids to see God.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teachers never forget⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are entire memes, like chants/tapped rhythms/dirty jokes, which pass from generation to generation entirely in a school, passed down from year to year until eventually a child learns some singsong or piece of scatological nonsense their dad or mum knew but never mentioned outside of school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scheduling is hard⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Millennia of evolution have shown that humans thrive when they’re just sitting around and vibing with each other. As long as you don’t need anything that requires an economic surplus or specialised work force, like, say, infrastructure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone should make hardware in that form factor that is essentially a Raspberry Pi-style machine one can run one’s own system on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wes Streeting orders review of mental health diagnoses as benefit claims soar⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I.e. all those people claiming “depression” and “anxiety disorder” and “ADHD” are just malingerers who need a kick up the arse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are embarrassed just make it sound classy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that the word “punk” comes from hobo slang for stale bread, French punk rock should be called “crouton”

  Aren’t they more queer than autistic (though probably falling in the overlap)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll be longer. AI will be there to accelerate the cadence, turning “knowledge workers” from artisans who have the relative luxury of solving problems autonomously at their workstations intro assembly-line labour who hurriedly sling prompts and patch up botshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FACTS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s right bros. Also, every time you have sex with a woman, you absorb some of her oestrogen and become feminised. (She also absorbs some of your testosterone, which makes you extra gay for having sex with her.)

  The implication of this is that the hygienically challenged chunguses who have been chronically devoid of validating girlfriends are not the pathetic losers they were mocked for in school, but secretly true princes among men, the custodians of manly virtues. It’s a new heroic pseudohistorical mythology, like Jakob’s Grafted Devil for incels or something.

  I can never remember whether Ronnie Wood was one of the Rolling Stones or a member of the gang who did the Great Train Robbery.
