- Comment on History has some notes on that bottom 10% that Avery should learn about quick 3 days ago:
I'm ok with there being some amount of wealth disparity, but nothing even close to like homeless vs. owns a yacht with a helipad. But before it's ok to have moderate wealth disparity we have to first meet the basic needs of all people including healthy and comfortable food, water, sanitation, housing, and healthcare.
- Comment on The longest finger is typically in the middle of the hand but the longest toe is typically at the end of a foot 4 days ago:
I mean true, but i don't see anything noteworthy about that. They're different appendages, so naturally they're different. It's like saying "Your elbow can only move in one direction, but your shoulder can move in several directions."

- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 3 weeks ago:
Anywhere that has an actual supply chain instead of website that's just a front for individual resellers. Places like best buy, or if you could get shipped from microcenter.

Yeah this stuff is why i never buy tech from Amazon, you never know if you're gonna get a counterfeit item
- Comment on I promise, no one can tell that you're high at work, trust me 3 weeks ago:
High or drunk - people can often tell.
Mushrooms - no one can tell unless you're tripping hard.

Bojack is that you?
- Comment on A billion dollars and a Ferrari doesn't matter if all you have are bumpy torn up roads with potholes to drive on 4 weeks ago:
Seriously, i think op doesn't understand how much a billion dollars actually is. With a billion dollars you could afford to repave literally every single road within 100 miles of your house, and still have about a billion dollars left
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 4 weeks ago:
I don't understand what you don't understand. It's in so many soups and recipes because people like it. Most people love chocolate, but there are a small number of people who hate it. Different people have different tastes. It could be genetic, it could be a bad association that built up in your formative years, or whatever.

I can verify personally that that's true. I put sugar in my gas tank and i was amazed how much better my car ran!

- Comment on Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common? 5 weeks ago:
Eh, if you believe that god is omnipotent then it's not really hubristic to think that god can easily have a personal relationship with every living being, which includes you
- Comment on Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common? 5 weeks ago:
If someone scripted my life then he needs a massive kick in the nuts

How?
- Comment on iPhone case with e-ink display lets users read books and comics without screen glare 5 weeks ago:
This makes no sense to me. If you don't like glare on your phone then just get a matte screen protector. If you specifically want e-ink then just get a small ebook device that's a similar size to this case.
I just don't see a use case
- Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition 5 weeks ago:
That's what's so stupid about the whole problem - the solution is known and easy but it costs a tiny bit more to make so lots of manufacturers don't do it. It just needs to run off DC instead of AC. Simple.

Did he ignore flicker problems again like last year? Because flicker ruins lights for a lot of us

- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 1 month ago:
Almost no one buys a super expensive phone without trying it out in real life before buying it
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 1 month ago:
This is a very cool piece of technology. The comments here naysaying about it seem odd to me. If it's not for you that's fine, but many millions of foldables have been bought over the past few years, and they continue to sell very well today
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 1 month ago:
I think it should be easy to identify when an account is being shared. For example if it's used from different ip addresses within a short amount of time
- Comment on Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language, they are fluent in similar to functionally illiterate but for speech? 1 month ago:
If you can't understand a language then you aren't fluent in it.
