- Comment on What is with games that are completely different from what is advertised? 3 days 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 4 days 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 Single Serve Pudding Cups And Yogurts Are Too Fucking Small. 2 weeks 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 Does people doing things that upset others also upset you? 4 weeks 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 weeks 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.

- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 4 weeks 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 ? 1 month 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 ? 1 month 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.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 1 month ago:
they don’t even have to date them. dating them and publicly showing the dates off (like in tiktok videos etc) helps and counters misogynists like the Tates or ppl claiming girls only date rich guys etc, but just hanging with boys and making clear they are leftist and like being around leftist boys will sway lots of boys. talking politics also helps.
i remember in my teens there were multiple girls doing this and it helped a lot. there was this punk girl and she would hang with like four boys and play them punk music, make them tea and hand out mixtapes and flyers for protests. another was a girl scout and met boy scouts on scout camps and they were following her around like creeps, but she invited groups of them to activities after the camp and got them to go to peace protests and help at cummunity events. if a cute girl asks a boy to help her hand out flyers for a good cause at the town fair most can’t resist. and many girls have no idea how cute they are. they see stupid ads with supermodels and compare themselves with them, but there’s a very wide range of what boys like and they’re very likely in it, for most boys, even if they think they’re ugly.

It was all an act. When told you that it was your fault, the mask came a bit off. This is where you should ghost him and also consider reporting him. This is not okay.

kinetic and non-kinetic methods
??? What that means??
kinetic is shooting guns or throwing things like nets.
non-kinetic is jamming control signals (or maybe even GPS?) or threatening the operator, so he lands it.

- Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany 1 month ago:
i know this from my grandma (other grandma didn’t even want to talk about it): it started out okayish, but soon things became super strict. lots of propaganda films. nazi stuff crept into everything. school etc… books got burned. different opinions forbidden. no free speech. misogyny. disabled ppl were killed. ppl were afraid to be suspected of anything. trials weren’t fair, if you even got one. the nazis printed money and inflation started to suck. many businesses were nationalised. slave workers were being used, taking peoples jobs.
then the war started. every familiy lost someone. bombs were dropped on cities. ppl had to go into bunkers often. (my grandma barely made it once and shrapnell hurt her hand.) at peak wartime men had to have 8 kids to not be conscripted as cannon fodder. ppl became even more poor than before the war, because many male workers were gone. brutal inflation. kids stepped on mines while playing. at that point the last idiot knew hitler was a loony, but almost nobody dared say anything, because it meant very likely torture and death.
when the US troops arrived, it was a big relief. finally ppl could speak their mind again. women flocked to the US troops, because there had been a general lack of men. many women were young widows, too. my grandma was very young, so nobody actually told her, but she suspected women wearing multiple US wrist watches were paid like that by US troops for sex.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
back then you were also able to obtain foreign news via radio or some foreign newspapers. on airports and big train stations you could usually get foreign newspapers and magazines. also, it was expected of reporters to be as objectuve as possible most of the time. the shit fox and others pull nowadays was absolutely faux pas until like the 70s and was less bad until like mid 90s.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
idk why you have that feeling, but maybe it helps to remember all this info was available too, but it took longer to get it. for example, you got the news only via radio, tv and newspaper and had to keep track of time to watch it or go buy a newspaper with news from yesterday. you could get media from the library or shops, like record stores etc… you could buy maps in certain places and there were usually public maps in towns. to message someone you had multiple options, for example telegraph them. many homes had compact encyclopedia describing most known things in short. if your home didn’t have this, you could ask neighbours or check with schools or libraries.
maybe that feeling is projected impatience. maybe it’s frustration with how slow and complicated things were.

It’s also used in German. AFAIK this kind of math wording is latin based.

i do this when the word(s) before the punctuation should be easy to copy+paste, like “did you install figlet ?” so they don’t accidentally get the qyestikn mark into the copied text
