  I mean, that’s clearly a rule that considers size of sub a factor, so, um, what?

  Walter is likely 7 and doesn’t have a vote yet

  What we lose on sales we make up for in volume

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Evidence That AI Is Destroying Jobs For Young People Just Got Stronger⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, the narrative to which you’re responding is the sales pitch and won’t be born out by reality long-term

  I’m not even sure which elements of this are bait, sarcasm, or douche

  Slow down, listen to yourself, try to have fun, lol

  FFS I was just about to buy myself one and now I’m obviously gonna have to wait until November

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any more than 1 seems too much. Sometimes a whole one is too much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well opinions on this differ, but I think it’s a process, not a body of knowledge. You learn to apply the process…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, because you didn’t study it at school and so it doesn’t come as naturally as it might

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok ok fine I’ll bite. Studying philosophy is a matter of refining your approach to problems, not memorising what some gnarled old Greek dude thought 2000 years ago

  Also literally everyone has a unique philosophy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution: 🖕⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if it’s useful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is very good trolling and I took a second

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah I suspect that’s part of the reason it’s slipped out of the curriculum. Shit teachers co-opted it for religion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I strongly suspect peak Aristotle would fucking wreck me but when he’s old and rotten? Yeah I reckon I have a chance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but imagine if he were personally a jerk to you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean also I studied philosophy and have had no regrets. It’s awesome and fascinating and rich and appeals to the fact that you just know that the world doesn’t really make sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Philosophy is genuinely a fantastic subject to study and I have no idea why school curriculums don’t reflect this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Babel fish, you say?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's hear it, little lemmings.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t speak medieval Italian so sadly he’s off my list

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nooo my genderinos⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Simply define it as i = e^(iπ/2) 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this is exactly what copper would say⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else guilty of this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but (with the exception of Pokémon) the graphics have moved on a bit

  :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure about this one ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely not. Lifeguards literally save so many lives. Maybe it’s different in the US with its weird power structures and motives, but lifeguards are more like the fire brigade than the police here…
