- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 2 days ago:
Everyone knew. The Holocaust is just the Jewish part, by the way. It started with dissidents and “unnatural” people.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 3 days ago:
I had an odd smell. My mother also kept telling me off because I “didn’t change my underwear.”
When the pain started when I was a student it turned out I’d had a bad infection for years.
- Comment on YSK about this Italian tradition of putting corrupt politicians in a cage and dipping them in the water 3 days ago:
Thorough. You can never be sure.
- Comment on Anyone else feel that the beautiful always win no matter how evil they are? 4 days ago:
I can definitely tell the difference between life as a pretty girl and as a fat menopausal lady, but really the only things the former got me was low level jobs and guys wanting to sleep with me (ew).
- Comment on Anyone else feel that the beautiful always win no matter how evil they are? 4 days ago:
Pretty privilege has been a thing since Victorian times, but I can’t think of any current “winner” (ergo total loser) who isn’t ugly.
- Comment on Anyone else feel that the beautiful always win no matter how evil they are? 4 days ago:
Putin too.
- Comment on YSK about this Italian tradition of putting corrupt politicians in a cage and dipping them in the water 4 days ago:
They didn’t hang him by his ankles, though. They beat him to death and the soldiers hung him by his ankles so people would stop stomping on him.
- Comment on Surgeons have to have *really* strong stomachs 6 days ago:
That’s the one!
- Comment on Surgeons have to have *really* strong stomachs 6 days ago:
Who remembers that story with the surgeon who ended up working with just the one nurse because everyone else had run away?
- Comment on We need libraries, but instead of books, you borrow musical instruments. 6 days ago:
At our library you can borrow instruments, tools, toys and computer games.

I had a bright orange sofa.
- Comment on Everything was indeed brown. 6 days ago:
Grey, black and beige.
- Comment on Everything was indeed brown. 6 days ago:
I was a teenager in the eighties. I remember a “jungle” trend (khaki), purple paisley, bottle green, grey with abstract prints, light pink and grey t-shirts with the sleeves cut off and lapis blue. I have NO idea where the idea of “it was all neon” comes from.
- Comment on YO. You should know: I (29m) grew up in a neighborhood in Toronto that was largely populated by South Koreans. I was one of the only White kids in that neighborhood. 1 week ago:
Pedo.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 week ago:
The MOVE bombing in Philadelphia. Also against black people, by the way.

Where is DeepL?

Try the Bylines network.
- Comment on Strawberry should be spelled with an H 1 week ago:
Either speech impediment or German.
- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 1 week ago:
You could get a cooling vest. You soak it in water and then it cools you through evaporation.
- Comment on Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry? 1 week ago:
Me too, also CFS. It’s a real nuisance, because I need to lose weight but being hungry is awful.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 1 week ago:
Which one was Harris? The pedophile or the guy with dementia?
- Comment on What would happen if a person proved in a lab they're gaining weight while in a verified calorie deficit? 1 week ago:
It’s easy enough. Love, betablockers and the menopause.
- Comment on YSK grab a cup of coffee and read this article if you want to truly understand what's happening in Minnesota 1 week ago:
The problem is your 14th amendment.
- Comment on Humans on average get 2 hours of battery life for every hour they charge 1 week ago:
Exactly! You spend all day looking forward to going back to bed and then you wake up just as tired (and if you’re lucky your night has been repeatedly interrupted by waking up and being convinced you’re dying).
- Comment on Humans on average get 2 hours of battery life for every hour they charge 1 week ago:
Not when they have CFS.
- Comment on If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for? 1 week ago:
That’s why Trump won last time. People like you. Disgusting.
- Comment on If someone tells you "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism", what would you say? 1 week ago:
Nope.
- Comment on Womp womp womp womp 1 week ago:
This is why I work for the army (not the US!). They offered me a permanent contract. I’ve been fighting for funding for the past 30 years and it’s become pretty much impossible. My last job was supposed to become permanent and the government cut funding after 2 years instead.
Not doing anything explodey, by the way, just researching how to deal with mass emergency events.
- Comment on If someone tells you "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism", what would you say? 1 week ago:
“Learn the difference between socialism and communism is before you say things like that.”
- Comment on Why do I push people away if I'm so lonely? 1 week ago:
Yes. It’s easier to push someone away than have them push you away later.
I’m glad my wife refused to be pushed away.
