that sounds exhausting
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Would be useful in the US too IMO
- Comment on The word "meme" had been hijacked by ignorants. 2 weeks ago:
nobody tell op that language evolves, this happens all the time and there will eventually just be a new word for the old thing 🤭
- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 3 weeks ago:
There will definitely be ppl offended by “death to Russians” and I find it highly questionable, because there are a few hundred good russians who haven’t been killed in the gulags so far and they do not deserve being slaughtered with the rest.
- Comment on Sex offender who sparked UK asylum hotel protests released by mistake 3 weeks ago:
oh wow, what a blunder. don’t they like double check? you know, like four-eyes dual control principle, like we do at work for everything important?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
one is before the dry summer and one after. you need to do same month
- Comment on What use a smart card reader? 1 month ago:
maybe works with pam_usb . it works with most removable media.
- Comment on I thought I was growing up in a racially tolerant Britain. I now realise I was wrong 2 months ago:
I think it’s still progress, if something forces the racists into hiding, but it should stay that way. If they come creeping out of their holes again, it sucks big time.
- Comment on The black Snape controversy 2 months ago:
btw. did the books even say anything about snapes skin color? if not, there were likely plenty of people picturing him black, since they live in countries where by far most people are.
- Comment on The black Snape controversy 2 months ago:
yeah, that’s stupid. what if harry and snape were black? would those peoples heads explode 😆
those people are maybe trying to confuse others about racism, so they can be openly racist.
it would only be racism, if the root of the suspicion lies in racism. the suspicion would be a symptom of the racism.
but the root of the suspicion was snapes harshness, mystique and weirdness.
- Comment on I went to the UK last week. Nothing about my trip was legal. 2 months ago:
yeah, arriving illegally with boats in a port is surprisingly easy almost everywhere. I suspect it’s because the rich people would get annoyed on their yachts when the procedures are too strict.
Same with private jets/planes. If you charter your own plane, you usually board/exit through a smaller, less strict terminal. AFAIK it’s unlikely someone even checks your luggage or pats you down. They’ll likely just check passports.

It can’t even work through the fabric. Fails at an early stage.
- Comment on Wakey Wakey 3 months ago:
It won’t even work through the fabric.
- Comment on Hmm which one I guess? 3 months ago:
app store search is often super bad. it ignores words etc, because they make more money by people not finding what they want and falling back to installing a few promoted apps with extra ads and tracking instead
- Comment on What is with games that are completely different from what is advertised? 3 months ago:
those are for little kids with tge attention span of a squirrel and old people with alzheimers who forgot what the ad was about right after they clicked it.
- Comment on Always wanted to do this 3 months ago:
It’s usually an age thing. The teach is to some degree responsible for keeping the kids out of harms way during the lesson. They need to roughly know where they are until they are considered old enough.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
just post the important part of the prompt instead of it’s output. nobody wants to read 90% filler
- Comment on Women dislike fascism despite reading erotica, checkmate liberals 3 months ago:
where is this from?
- Comment on Single Serve Pudding Cups And Yogurts Are Too Fucking Small. 3 months ago:
In my region we can buy 500g cups in supermarkets.
… but pudding is very easy to make and the recipes are usually for litres. It’s an interesting experience to scratch the vanilla from the pods it grew in and vary the amount of starch to get a different consistency.
- Comment on YSK: You can make supercapacitors out of cement, water and carbon black 4 months ago:
gonna use this in my death star.
- Comment on YSK: Do you have documents to prove you are a US citizen? If not, here's how 4 months ago:
that’s much more than ours in EU. are they gold plated?
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 months ago:
And kicking people in the nuts 🤪
- Comment on What's the solution to QR code phishing? 4 months ago:
Mine has a setting for it.
- Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 4 months ago:
I’m pretty sure some people enjoy being sexist/racist and some even get off of watching people being sexist/racist. However, there are people in both groups who also understand it’s a problem and stand against it, except with consent in private.
- Comment on Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year? 4 months ago:
I disagree. New smartphones may have a few bettee specs, but are overall worse than older models.
For example, they are getting bigger and bigger and can’t be operated one handed any more, even with Androids one-handed mode, because the zoom makes everything tiny.
Newer phones become hotter, batteries more likely to turn into spicy pillows.
More bloatware preinstalled, like AI stuff or “AR Emoji” etc.
The camera notches are growing too, even though most people would be fine with notchless cameras.
They are getting heavier and thicker too. In 2015 we had 5.1mm 98g phones. Not even a notch. It all went downhill from there.
And don’t even get me started on the prices.

I think it’s him tearing up because she’s making the best of the sad circumatances.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 4 months ago:
I hope it might lead to a situation of dirty pics/vids not being a problem for the people in it any more, as it could be a deepfake. Like there were cases where a surfacing dirty pic was used for blackmail, ruined someones career or got them kicked out if some comittee, but since it could be fabrication now, I hope this will beva thing of the past, soon.

Yeah, “normal” people have no time or are too lazy to do that.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 4 months ago:
first of all, progressive men don’t imply them being effeminate.
secondly, you should be aware that “women” refers to a group of about 4 billion people. that means, if what you say is false for only 1% you’re wronging 40 million people. (but what you wrote is probably false for a much higher percentage. just like men, women can like different and multiple types at the same time and their preference can even change over time)
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 4 months ago:
it is not the only way, but sex sells and that’s also what the nazis do: on one hand they have indoctrinated women cosplay the lucky trad wife and on the other hand they imply men can just keep women like pets if they’re rich or alternatively at some point get a girl pregnant, guilt trip her into not aborting, then basically ruin her carreer and force them into a marriage they can’t ever get out of. that’s what fascists present to boys on youtube, tiktok and other media to win them over. they also have other talking points, but this is one propaganda vector.
