  Except that even if your commute is 20km that’s still going tonlast you all week. Obviously there are other trips to make but it’s definitely not stopping 99.9% of people in the middle of their commute, or even their workday, to charge.

  I don’t know why so many people think whatever they buy needs to be able to handle every single fringe case they’ve never even experienced or why they think that something being absolutely adequate for their own use is somehow bad. It’s room-temp IQ bullshit and I’m tired of it.

  17k for a vehicle powered by a watch battery(exaggeration) is pretty sick and more than practical, even for people in North America.

  Also shows how much they actually can’t or won’t leave based just on just a (much needed) tax increase.

  No Nut November was months ago it’s ok.

  Wait, did they think the bathrooms were special and cost money? Many places just slap a paper “gender neutral” sign on their washrooms and call it a day until a nicer sign can come in. The really good places knew this shit ages ago and already saved themselves the trouble by putting in a shared sink area and having stalls with real doors. As someone who has literally had to fit washrooms into floor plans I can guarantee that if cost and ease were problems then we’d only have gender neutral washrooms.

  I love how the last bit is like “if we stop talking about him wanting to throw out the constitution, wanting to invade Canada, and all the tariffs, then he’s done a great job!” and like even then no, he hasn’t, but imagine being such a failure that you think that any of those aren’t huge deal breakers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨but what happened to logsday?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that 8th day will absolutely be a working day for reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon accused of using algorithms to push warehouse workers to breaking point.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, we’ve all gotten so used to online shopping that we’ve forgotten what we’re allowed to do when it comes to local stores. I even worked retail in a motorcycle shop selling gear and ordered stuff from suppliers all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember the good old days?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about? Of course we do, all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon accused of using algorithms to push warehouse workers to breaking point.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be honest, since most places ship from their physical locations(which may not have stock or carry something at all due to demand) and Amazon’s incredibly predatory practices it means that they are pretty much the only option. I’ve gotten stuff from Etsy as well(but it doesn’t help for, like, water filters and certain appliance parts), and I really have always tried to avoid Amazon, but there are just some things where they’re the only ones where I can buy some of this stuff.

  And like I said, I’m gunna have to just start asking outright for stuff even if whatever store doesn’t carry it normally. It’ll take some patience but I’ll live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon accused of using algorithms to push warehouse workers to breaking point.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People gotta start working the hours they’re paid for. If I’m working my shift well then it’s not my fault that the company is understaffed and I am not gunna bust my ass to cover for someone’s poor leadership.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon accused of using algorithms to push warehouse workers to breaking point.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There actually are things that one just cannot find elsewhere easily, and most of the places that reliably carry them locally are places like Walmart which aren’t better. That said, it’s always the very last place I look.

  With all this nonsense I’m going to start asking local stores if they can order stuff for me, though, and just be extra patient. For example, it’s wild how little there is for mandolins at local music stores but at least the British strings I’m going to try switching to are there so that’s something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One in 15 Americans has witnessed a mass shooting – study⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The headline isn.t misleading, you had bad reading comprehension and are unable to face the fact that the country is a violent shithole. Cope harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, some rents are getting crazy and the buildings were purchased 10-20 years ago so the mortgage isn’t that high. It’s all a scam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mandatory Minion/Musk Meme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “And then they did, even though Musk is not a comicbook super villain and could probably be defeated in combat by a particularly aggressive child.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you see what's going on yet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Compete for jobs they screamed were “unskilled” and didn’t deserve a living wage. Boy I’m so excited to tell throw that argument back at them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta dig this hole for myself somewhere.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you…threatening us? “Let us in or we’ll force our way in anyway”?

  Good lord, go fuck yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta dig this hole for myself somewhere.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Americans trying to move to Canada. No fucking thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wild that when I do well in my job I maybe get a pat on the back but an executive does, well, literally anything that might be related to their job even if it’s bad and they get a huge bonus.

  “I made things more efficient!” “Ok, that’s your job.”

  “I bought some shitty printers and laid off a bunch of people.” “HOLY SHIT HERE’S SIX MILLION DOLLARS!!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you consider me a “dry texter”?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have to ask? Why do you have zero desire to share anything with your friends? Dry isn’t the word I’d use, but “bothered” sure is. You text like you want them to piss off and you want them to know it without saying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palantir CEO Sures Seems Pleased His Tech Is Capable Of Getting People Killed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “We love disruption, and whatever’s good for America will be good for Americans and very good for Palantir,” Karp said, apparently excited about Musk’s effort. “Disruption, at the end of the day, exposes things that aren’t working,” he continued. “There will be ups and downs. There’s a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off. We’re expecting to see really unexpected things and to win.”

  What an incredibly stupid set of things to say. Just one after the other, a real Mortal Kombat combo of nonsense bereft of any level of intelligence.

  Incredible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE begins purge of FEMA by firing officials in charge of finances⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  abcnews.go.com/…/fema-halting-payments-migrant-ho…

  Here’s a link stating that:

  • Musk has not shown evidence of this.
  • The money is not from the disaster relief fund.
  • The “luxury hotel” part is worded to drive hate when in reality average costs that the organization pays, by deals where it does not need pay full rates, is $152/night.
  • The costs include other things like security, and only $19mil was related to direct payments to hotels.
  • If you see anywhere Musk’s Tweet where he emphasizes “LAST WEEK” please bear in mind that the action of getting reimbursed happened then but the money covers Nov. 2023 to Oct. 2024.

  The nuanced truth is, of course, of a different sort than the over-simplification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no words, much feelings⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A message to anyone who pays for this(I know they won’t see it): You’re the reason everything is collapsing. Go fuck yourself, idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A bit rubbery...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it’s a good thing I didn’t exclude ground meat, only ground meat that was not carefully prepared.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A bit rubbery...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s only because a hunk of beef is so large that many unsafe elements can’t penetrate. You trim off the outside and are left with something much safer, so long as it is consumed quickly enough. It is the same reason why you don’t need to freeze tuna, because tuna are fucking huge.

  Also, be careful when grinding meat, or even cutting it, because if you end up with the shit on the outside being pushed into the cuts on the inside then none of it matters and you’re back to square fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uncanny sandwich⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s literally the point.

  Media literacy and reading comprehension really are dead arts, huh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking pigeons⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well they don’t really care about nesting in the open, obviously, and the doormat is softer and replicates short lichen and/or grass. Soft is clearly better and it also means that the egg can’t roll away.

  Was that supposed to be gotcha or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking pigeons⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently theh normally would nest of rocky cliff edges and stuff so they just need enough material to stop the egg from rolling away. It still looks heaps silly, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, Montréal is top shit as far as North America is concerned. Metro is king, and so great for when you’re kinda tired and just want someone to drive you around. Like I said, I still have my car but I always choose not to bother with it unless I absolutely have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You literally commented first.

  Looks like somebody doesn’t like the consequences of their actions. Poor baby.
