- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 2 days ago:
Would have been better as "blow past wind" to match the sentiment of the "coal in the dust" joke.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 4 days ago:
In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, "pussy" is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to "bitch."

- Comment on There is a limit how much power the pedal assist of an e-Bike is allowed to provide (at least in many countries). There is no limit though on how strong the exoskeletton is that you use on a regular b 6 days ago:
In Amsterdam, and perhaps throughout the Netherlands, you can ride gas-powered scooters in the bike lanes. Bikes and scooters also have right-of-way against pedestrians.
- Comment on if we all lived within close proximity of sock processing facilities we'd have fewer problems with socks 6 days ago:
Sport of the future.
- Comment on if we all lived within close proximity of sock processing facilities we'd have fewer problems with socks 1 week ago:
I don't want to sell socks, buy socks, or process socks as a career. I don't want to sell socks bought or processed, or buy socks sold or processed, or process socks sold, bought, or processed, or repair socks sold, bought, or processed.
You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

- Comment on Elon musk is a pedophile 1 week ago:
Didn't Epstein's prostitution ring include adult women? You could be a client of Epstein and not rape children.
Could you have a long association with Epstein and not realize or strongly suspect he was pimping underage girls? Probably not.

I didn't know Game of Thrones was still big in Australia.
- Comment on Acids are basic chemistry 1 week ago:
If you drop acid, you could get pretty fucked up.
- Comment on If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest? 1 week ago:
But gayness would be a continuous, not a discrete, metric.
- Comment on If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest? 1 week ago:
Boo! Everyone is free to be themselves without judgement, but if you're super straight there's something wrong with you.

- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
This is a just a correction, but it seems fitting on a post about language and learning languages.
"Half" is the noun you are looking for. "Halve" sounds slightly different and means "to split in half."

Not tuning into Jimmy Kimmel is not censorship of Jimmy Kimmel. Blocking someone is choosing not to read what they wrote. You're really striking out here.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Your reading comprehension is not good. He didn't claim the guy was MAGA. He claimed the MAGA people were bending over backwards to claim he wasn't. Did that happen or not?
The Kimmel quote in your image says Barr saw consequences for saying something "vile." Kimmel would have to have said something vile for this to be hypocrisy. Not something true but uncomfortable.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I asked for a quote of a vile thing he said. Please quote it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
What vile thing did Jimmy Kimmel say? Please quote him accurately. And if the vile thing is just him quoting what Trump said, we shouldn't hold that against Kimmel.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 2 weeks ago:
What a bizarre sub-thread.
OC says generations (plural) before had the same access as Gen Z. Presuming that to mean as kids, that's clearly not true.
Someone steps in to write that people on the border of Gen Z and the generation (singular) before it had similar access. Useful to learn, but not groundbreaking.
Commenter points out that that's not very different and gets insulted.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 2 weeks ago:
When young? No. Unless you count the Sears catalog.
- Comment on Massive Attack Turns Live Facial Recognition Into Concert Commentary on Surveillance 2 weeks ago:
Such a difficult headline to parse if you don't know Massive Attack is a band.

Trophies all around!

I don't know about who is the champion. The virus eventually fails to multiply in the host, but it meanwhile spreads to others.
- Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 2 weeks ago:
It's for the first half. There's no objective evidence this approach works. The OP may also recover from colds quickly without the vitamin / protein intervention, may judge
symptoms differently, or may not accurately track results (e.g. dismiss cases where the opposite was true). - Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 2 weeks ago:
Good find. Key paragraph:
When measured objectively over the 42-day evaluation period, limb function improved in 12.1% and worsened in 8.6%, but did not change in most dogs. By contrast, caregivers (both owners and vets) reported improvements in lameness from the start, with the reported improvements increasing with time. The caregiver placebo effect appeared to be around 57% for owners and 40–45% for vets and was statistically significant at all assessment time points.
Objective measurements are one way to detect this effect. Another would be a true double-blind trial where neither owner nor vet knows which medicine was given.

Thanks. Fixed it.

Please stop putting in comments about bouncy balls. OP made clear by typing it twice he wants to know about boucy balls.

- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 4 weeks ago:
You can make them affordable by screening for high income.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 4 weeks ago:
What if you think affordable housing should be government subsidized? Or as is the case in many places, below market priced units that the builder is required to include, with limits on how they are used (income qualifications and owner occupation).
Neither of those requires you not to rent to other people. It would be like saying I'm for mental health services being paid for by the government but running a psychiatric business.
