  You talk like someone who doesn’t have carnivorous plants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Chris Hughes, one of the founders of Facebook, says the company must be dismantled⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Since it’s US based, I’m pretty sure it will soon go down with the rest of the nation.

  Maybe trump will nationalize it, to make his propaganda posts always show at the top or some other fascist bullshit.

  Given his age it’s a 50/50 chance. It took very long to get rid of hitler tho. I would wish the American people a sooner resolve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like half the neighbourhood is on fire and everyone is carrying on like everything is normal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He will do it after a year of bombing Venezuela. He’s a big fan of hitler, so he will likely also start an unwinnable multi front war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well, it doesn’t have to be random physical things, but could be tickets for events, gambling, etc. i like to gambke a bit on the stock markets, for example. it’s like horse racing, but you can decide where the finishing line is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  okay, but what if you die in an accident and didn’t use up your money you worked hard for. would be a real shame. the thought alone makes me want to be immortal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ideas for deadspace behind fridge⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  also, that light switch box space sawed out of the door frame must be some kind of crime idk 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ideas for deadspace behind fridge⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you could make it a dumbwaiter for cans, kegs, beer/wine crates or a laundry lift, but then the fridge can’t be directly in front.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨more trans shinji posting [Neon Genesis Evangelion]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  this reminds me. in the early 90s summers we all wore those tight bike shorts, a loose tshirt and optionally sunglasses and a hip bag. no matter what gender. virtually everyone. worldwide. i went to other countries; the other side of the world to visit remote family; they all had multiple sets they wore. it was cheap and colorful. it felt like the future

  Didn’t know Quark is a top. The things ypu find out in the Large Hardon Collider 🤯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists Say Sea Urchins Are Basically Brains With Spikes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  that headline is so stupid. everyone who has found a sea urchin skeleton on the beach knows this is way too oversimplified.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lloyds used data from 30,000 staff accounts in union pay talks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  creepy af. first thing i’d do as an employee is make an account with another bank and set up monthly transfer, so the contract is fulfilled, but all they can see are those big transfers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  that sounds exhausting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would be useful in the US too IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The word "meme" had been hijacked by ignorants.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  one is before the dry summer and one after. you need to do same month

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What use a smart card reader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It won’t even work through the fabric.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmm which one I guess?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  just post the important part of the prompt instead of it’s output. nobody wants to read 90% filler
