- Comment on General Medical Council examines doctor’s Reform speech linking vaccines to royal family cancer 3 hours ago:
For the first three, it’s scientific illiteracy and dunning-kruger. The last one is just moral bankruptcy.
- Comment on There is no good way to answer a request beginning with "do you mind if I......." 3 days ago:
You have innumerable replies. If course there’s a good way. It’s as simple as ‘yes, I mind’ or ‘no, I don’t mind’.
Why would you limit yourself to just yes or no, the obviously confusing answers?
- Comment on Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned? 4 days ago:
I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a line from a movie (in quotation marks) in a post about that movie. It was so obviously a quote.
- Comment on AI generated images are probably amazing to someone on LSD 4 days ago:
Always is.
- Comment on AI generated images are probably amazing to someone on LSD 6 days ago:
Literally anything you focus on will be amazing when you’re on good lsd. Any tv show or cartoon (news, movie, sport, adverts, whatever) will be entrancing and you’ll interpret things visually in crazy ways.
I spent an hour or two staring at a pattern in a rug and listening to my dog breathe beside me once, or watching an ice cube melt on a table, or colouring in my hand with felt tip pen.

It’s a lake in Northern Ireland. Loch is Scottish, Lough Northern Irish.

Who are you weak-boweled people? I’ve never had an issue with Taco Bell. How did your genes survive when you shite yourself with a bit of spice?

Solely because it isn’t a word.
- Comment on Been there 1 week ago:
That’s everywhere. I get well paid (higher than most others in my industry), have annual bonuses& raises, and plenty of paid leave, but I’m always looking.

Each day I think he can’t get more stupid, and each day I’m wrong.

Bugsy Malone was written in 1973.
- Comment on ‘Don’t call this racist’: row grows over motives behind England flag campaign 2 weeks ago:
It really is, to the vast majority of the small brains who practice it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It is a phone. They’re just getting shitty phones and golding them up, but they do exist. I’m sure some guy bought one of the early incarnations and took it apart to show how shit it was. Now they use a different cheap phone.
Still a scam, of course.

Protestant and Catholic are not races.
- Comment on The notion that "old is bad and new is good" is a seriously damaging part of western capitalism brainwashing 3 weeks ago:
It entirely depends. Old is good when it comes to some things, and new is good for others.
You probably shouldn’t use your 20 year old hot water bottle, for example, even if it’s worked for 20 years. Your old boiler might be working, but it’s on borrowed time with each passing year. You don’t need a new phone, but it might do things better than your old one that you specifically like or need. That old chainsaw you’ve been holding onto might well just give up the ghost dramatically some time.
Something working doesn’t mean it’s working optimally. It’s ok to want a better thing, or a safer thing, or a thing more suited to you, or even a new thing for the sake of it.

Relentless chasing, like those robot dogs from Black Mirror.

- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 3 weeks ago:
Thinking a tip is owed for anything is being wildly presumptuous. Nobody is owed a tip, never mind a tip of an arbitrary value below which you ascribe people as cheap. Wise up.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 3 weeks ago:
I’m neither being a cheapskate nor acting like it’s a noble cause. Not sure what you read.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 3 weeks ago:
I tip nothing for drinks, maybe 5 or 10 quid for a meal (for 3 or 4). Pay your staff so they don’t need to rely on tips.

Does it look stupid or really stupid?
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 3 weeks ago:
I’m still at a yotal loss as to the purpose.
The button positions never move, only the letters or colours. You don’t look at your hands when you’re playing, so I don’t get why you’d need to swap buttons at all, outside of a game menu.
If you’re used to blue being left or X being bottom or whatever, do that in the menu. Your thumbs can’t see the buttons so it makes no difference. You have bought a controller to do what a menu does for free at the click of a button (a button that means whatever you assign it to mean).
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I understood about a third of that.
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 4 weeks ago:
Why would you physically switch the buttons when you can just set up their layout in the menu in each console? It doesn’t matter if a button is red or blue, X or Y. Only the position matters.

I don’t use any, black or white. I ain’t racist and have words.
