It’s frustrating. It’s 2026 and we’re still pointlessly gendering things. And I don’t mean this is a “omg you assumed my gender” way. I mean that organization’s that should know better go the extra mile to apply strict genders to things and processes. If this email is about workplace harassment or something like that, it would be easier to just not gender people.

Crimes haven’t been illegal in the last couple years. Unless you’re poor ofc.
- Comment on UN report says Israeli practices against Palestinians may amount to genocide 6 days ago:
Israel may have killed on purpose, but also may have just done a whoopsie my bad.
- Comment on Despite drop in 2025, Russian oil exports exceed pre-war volumes: report 2 weeks ago:
OK, so slightly click baity title. Sanctions still had the desired effect of reducing Russian income from oil and gas exports.

Someone could make a lot of money stealing a baby

You’re mom didn’t tell you the truth, plain and simple. Whether she knows the truth, that’s another story. You can’t re-absorb a whole baby, with bones and all that.
- Comment on The HOA isn't going to be happy about the colour, though. 2 weeks ago:
Child, this is Tennis were talking about. It’s a rich people game. There’s no time to worry about trivialities like protection of the environment.

And it’s bullshit, because so what if the ball is a bit less bouncy? It’s less bouncy to your opponent too.
- Comment on Atmospheric Slapping Tournament 2 weeks ago:
So trees have evolved truck-sensing organs in the span of mere decades? Unbelievable!
- Comment on The HOA isn't going to be happy about the colour, though. 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t know this until recently, but tennis balls wear out quite fast. Not structurally, not the felt, but the air inside escapes with the extreme pressure they endure. And soon they don’t bounce so well.
If only sports balls had a way to refill the air…

That’s exactly my first thought. Whenever I see upcycled things that will just break down into microplastics in nature, I wince.

What, no! 🤦 I wanna see titts!
- Comment on Why do I look like shit some days? 2 weeks ago:
When you look in the mirror, you see yourself through a mood filter. If you are feeling happy and optimistic, you will see a nicer looking reflection.
Besides, small things can effectively change how you look in subtle ways. Are the clothes a bit more wrinkly or need adjustment? Do you need a haircut or shave? Did you sleep well and are you drinking enough water? Also, your body posture is different.
My ex has mood swings related to their body image. One day they thought they looked nice and fit, the other day they looked fat and ugly. To me nothing changed, except that on the bad days, they had bad posture in front of the mirror. Unconsciously, they were self sabotaging themselves.
- Comment on Is there any good free tutorials/courses that cover setup and administration of websites and web apps? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah? That’s why OP posted it here, there are no stupid questions here.
- Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks 4 weeks ago:
No, I want to overthrow cow milk and destroy that industry. So I call all milks “milk” except cow milk, which I call cow juice.
- Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks 4 weeks ago:
Unless you’re drinking milk from the cow’s tit, your milk is very mucg an industrial product to make it shelf stable and consistent. People have a totally wrong idea of what real milk feels or tastes like or what’s involved in its production. At least oat milk is literally just filtered porridge you can make at home.

It’s only called Hamburger if it comes from the small town of Hamburg, Germany. Otherwise you must call it reformed organ patty. Ti’s the law.

Despite the name, PS isn’t a socialist party.
- Comment on Is what Elijah saying here true for all heroes and villains across the board? Or is it how it used to be? What would be equivalent today? 5 weeks ago:
Media today is way more subtle than that, in part because culturally we don’t need to be told so explicitly anymore. It’s similar to how villains used to, and sometimes still do, have a strong gay accent, because being queer coded was the same as being evil coded. That’s the same principle with the weird body proportions vs the perfect white American jaw.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I want to understand this question. Is the implication that men don’t pee and poop/fart, or that you think women would somehow be different than men in this department? Do you only exclusively pee standing?
- Comment on I still haven't figured out how to do this 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I wrote my thesis in it. As a programmer it made total sense to me.
- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 5 weeks ago:
Sweat means your body is trying to cool down, not that your heart is pumping.
- Comment on How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ? 1 month ago:
Automotive industry uses lots of robots. There’s little manual work in the production of cars nowadays.
- Comment on Train derailment in Córdoba, southern Spain kills five 1 month ago:
This is the worst thread to be pedantic, but I’m curious about your choice of unit. SI stipulates km/h although we often see kph (mostly next to imperial mph). But k/hr is particularly cursed.
- Comment on World's first hydrogen drone sent into a combat zone 1 month ago:
Not necessarily because diesel can be at atmospheric pressure while hydrogen needs heavier containers to keep it pressurised and liquid.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if your were a kid and your parents worked for a government intelligence agency, how would you keep secrets / have privacy from your parents? 1 month ago:
Do you assume secret services are constantly spying on their kids?
- Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland 1 month ago:
Israel is fighting a war with its neighbours. Not a world war. Funny you say that, because it almost became a world war because the US decided to bomb Iran.
Russia is also fighting wars at its borders trying to expand territory, but Russia doesn’t want that. They wanted a quick and easy takeover. It might push the EU to a war, but it’s still a local war.
The US is the most likely to start an intercontinental war. They attacked Iran, they attack Venezuela, and now they have again their eyes set on European territories.
- Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland 1 month ago:
You didn’t? Really? Who else is instigating global conflicts?
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 1 month ago:
Email was born in a service vacuum. The reason it still exists today is the same reason nothing else can become as ubiquitous as email.
