- Comment on Either David Mitchell is Slavoj Žižek putting on a funny accent or Slavoj Žižek is David Mitchell cosplaying English as you never will ever see them together because they are the same person. 6 days ago:
The very successful comedian. They both use humor in the same way … they take what someone asserts and then runs very far with the argument to prove how it is absurd.
It is not that they look alike … it is one was rough-handled out of a communist state and the other is been anxietied from the hearth of a dying empire and yet their humor uses the same structure.
Sorry just something I actually thought of in the shower

- Comment on Customers of three UK banks report being able to see other people’s accounts on app 1 week ago:
That happened to me with my bank updated their app. Suddenly I could browse and move money in and out of others’ accounts. I had to fail-hold for 45 minutes for someone to tell me don’t worry about it. Literally had to call out the CEO’s “mission accomplished” blogpost and say “yeah no your rollout wasn’t perfect. fix my shit.” because customer services refused to do anything.
good times in the 21st century.

- Comment on People who grew up with Vietnam and the Cold War, is Iran going to be the new vietnam or just a semi cool war? 1 week ago:
Who is the other enemy is this supposed cold war ?
The cold war was between the US and the USSR. They did not actually fight or bomb each other.
The USA, Israel,and Iran and others are actually killing people, destroying property and wealth. That is not a cold war.
The other wars weren’t cold. Vietnam was not a cold war. Nor was Korea or the first Iraq war were not cold wars.
So I’m not sure I understand the question.

- Comment on Realistcly how much can be cleaned out of a house, as a child of a hourder? 3 weeks ago:
If you don’t want/can’t move start with a space that is your space. Define some boundaries to the hoard.
Then organize your clutter into things you use and things you would use.
Then use your storage to put away all the stuff that you use.
Then in the clutter pile organize that again into “things i can’t get again” and “stuff that easily available”
Then the hard part: throw out the “stuff that is easily available”
You can’t have organizational boundaries as such so you are not willing to let some stuff go. It is hard.
But if you don’t want to move out make a space as your fight back against the clutter there first. If you can do that you can do another room. And then another.
