⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I NOT do in front of rich people?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I’m talking about very flat pizza made by Italians who immigrated post WW2 and probably visit Italy almost every year, because that’s actually really easy to do when you’re in Europe.

Some pizza is just very bendy, it’s fingerfood the same way that spaghetti is a finger food - you could, but it’s just more practical to use cutlery.

IDK, be poor probably. And I bet they hate it if you talk about seizing the means of production (depending on your definition of “rich” - a well-paid hospital doctor might own 1-2 million dollars, but they got there primarily because off their salary, not because they own capital (though at that level of wealth, they most likely also have investments in stocks etc.).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I NOT do in front of rich people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
IMO, it depends on how bendy the pizza is, how big the crust (i.e. handle) is and wether it’s a sit-down restaurant or not.

Same! How the hell did most of my family switch to Signal, yet my friends and younger brother stick with shit like Discord, WhatsApp and Telegram??
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID globally for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Definitely not doing that. Already only use Discord because my friend circle can’t be arsed to use anything else for group phonecalls. Our private channel is not going to disappear anyway, but it’s quite probable that we won’t be able to link/upload media as freely as before - not that we were sharing any sexual content, but “sensitive content” could be literally anything that US authoritarians don’t like, plus content that is just misidentified.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police spy tried to incite activists to firebomb shop, UK inquiry hears⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This kind of thing was a huge problem when Germany tried to ban the NPD (a neo-nazi party) in the 2010s. Too many police/secret service infiltrators in way too high positions. In the end, they failed to ban the party.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the USA decided to use another language as its *de facto* national language at it's founding? How would it affect the world?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, French was itself something of a lingua franca in centuries past, and Spanish is already a great candidate because it has, right now, more native speakers than English. I learned Spanish in school as a third language just because (we had to choose between Spanish, French and Latin) - didn’t stick, though, listening comprehension for Spanish is very hard and there wasn’t enough incentive for me.

English’s hegemony as a lingua franca is to a very large degree because of the US, especially after the UK lost almost all of their colonies after WW2. That said, English would probably still be a minor lingua franca in northern Europe, because it’s a lot easier to learn than a romance language if your native language is germanic.

Dinosaurs had tons of different sizes and niches. We didn’t extinct literally all megafauna, bears, elk, ostriches (literal dinosaur!) still exist and are so common that they’re often nuisances.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Ah yes, a reasonable and well-thought out reply to my comment.

I have no reason to believe that Israel even has the ability to hit a target that is anywhere near the US, so the US cannot be in the flight path of whatever target they hit with missiles. And who would they even want to hit where the US is on a potential flight path? Canada and Mexico?

Either way, if that’s our standard for “Israel bad because nuclear weapons”, every other nuclear power is an asshole to Israel, too, including the US.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah sorry, I did not, in fact, recall correctly. Bill Clinton was definitely involved with Epstein, though.

What’s your answer to OP’s question then, if the “both parties are involved” explanation is supposedly fake? There’s a distinct lack of comments who offer an alternative explanation.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You claimed specifically that Israel has nuclear weapons pointed at America, but when I asked you about it you only linked me an article that said that they have nuclear weapons. Considering how far away they are, “pointed at America” isn’t really plausible.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
So the point isn’t that Israel can actually hit targets in the US, but that they have nuclear weapons in general?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Weird how the same people who apparently cared a lot about Clinton’s adultery don’t seem to care at all about the adultery and worse of Trump.

And AFAIK his politics were pretty bad, too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

they literally have nuclear arms pointed at America

First time I heard of that, what’s that about?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
1. There were also democrat politicians implicated; IIRC Hilary Clinton divorced Bill after it became known that he was there.
2. Important party donors were probably involved (of both parties).
3. Epstein most likely had connections to the Israeli secret service and was definitely part of Israeli lobbying efforts. Both parties are heavily involved with Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Your parents have much better taste in music than my grandparents or the oldie stations in my area.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

What makes Death Metal different than Black Metal? They sound the same.

Nah. I’m not even a big metal fan and unless a band is blending the genres (“blackened death” etc.) they’re pretty distinct, the vocal style in particular should be pretty easy to tell apart. As a rule of thumb, Black Metal vocalists croak, Death Metal vocalists growl.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Trust me, I’m not talking about tracks that could reasonably be called “pop rock”. They were already playing pop rock all the time anyway.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

Does it play on the rock station? Then it’s rock.

My local rock station started playing what is clearly pop music a couple of years ago. I think they still call themselves a rock station.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They tend to be distinct styles, similar to how bands within a genre can sound really different to each other. Now imagine that a couple of other bands says that one band’s style is the bee’s knees and starts doing similar music.

It does get a bit too opaque and subtle at times, but I still think it’s usually helpful. e.g. “increasing level of angriness and decreasing level of clarity” is a big deal, many people don’t like listening to the extremely aggressive/unclear stuff and thus might say something like “I don’t like death metal, but power metal is great”.

True, but for minimum requirements, I’d expect that they consider the case where most of the unnecessary processes are closed. Also, only 30 tabs? Rookie numbers!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not saying that it’s a particularly good idea, but on laptops it’s often what you have to work with. The 4GB stick is often soldered in, would you rather put in a 4GB stick to match it? I also personally experienced owning a PC with 3x2GB because the fourth one broke, though that was a long time ago.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s not that uncommon, especially on laptops (not sure if this game would run on any laptop, though). Also, you can get 4 sticks of 4GB RAM and have one with a flaw so you take it out. Granted, I don’t think anyone would buy 4x4GB RAM for a setup that might actually run this game.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IO Interactive have fixed the crazy PC specifications for 007 First Light⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
16GB minimum is still insane IMO. I wonder if the game actually uses that much RAM, or if it’s just that they won’t put in values between 8 and 16.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[meme] choochoo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The thing is, with public planning, zoning laws etc. you can make it possible. People generally move to where the jobs are, and that tends to be cities. It’s basically why Spain’s population is so concentrated in the cities, much more so than in other similarly-sized european countries. In the US, zoning laws were a huge part of how it became so car-reliant.
