• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sneaking snacks into the theater is objectively wrong if you are a movie fan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  At our cinema it will still be popcorn. The wee coffee shop right next to the cinema entrance does a roaring trade in popcorn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Go visit the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and you’ll see a different protest every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people knew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  “Earth” already knew before the war started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially because there’s a bunker underneath.

  I’m willing to bet this is all about modernising the bunker, not the east wing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Americans expect the NK protest to achieve anything?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. Millions of people protesting didn’t stop Brexit. Millions of people protesting didn’t stop Tory cuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CRAZY PILLS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And those who had been convinced before being sent to a concentration camp were sent back to prison to finish their sentences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the Nürnberg process had to happen today, we d just feed the documents to chatgpt, and ask it to generate the accusatory speech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There were still plenty of Nazis left in Germany and many war criminals never ended up on trial. They just continued living normal lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because I’d be cold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a person who is a convicted felon/ rapist even get nominated for the Nobel Peace Price? Extra points if you can ELI5 that.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really hard to judge things that didn’t happen. See also vaccines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crop candles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is only done when there’s an unexpected frost in spring or summer when the poly tunnels have been taken away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crop candles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In one of the Laura Ingalls books they run around pouring water on top of their crop early in the morning when it turns out it’s frozen. It seems to be an old method.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I block trackers instead of asking nicely. It’s amazing how many seemingly innocent sites stop working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Public schools are what Americans call private schools, the other ones are state schools, academies, council schools, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you live in a city, you'll probably end up memorizing the meanings of arbitrary numbers.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t live in a city but I know all the train and bus numbers around here. Because in some countries you get public transport outside the big cities …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Private schools in the UK serve awful food. Stews, custard with a skin, spotted dick, that kind of stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Will you stfu already?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its all bots, isn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All saying identical things with identical avatars. Google could easily weed them out using AI but instead they use it to ban random channels without explaining why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind the Kallax or Ivar shelves with stuff. It’s a cheap way to show what your videos are about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it obnoxious and distracting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conservative⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Liberal world? Hahahahaha!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is a limit how much power the pedal assist of an e-Bike is allowed to provide (at least in many countries). There is no limit though on how strong the exoskeletton is that you use on a regular b⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can go faster, the engine just cuts out. You can zoom down a hill at 35 kph no problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is a limit how much power the pedal assist of an e-Bike is allowed to provide (at least in many countries). There is no limit though on how strong the exoskeletton is that you use on a regular b⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only… the speed limit of an e-bike is lower than the speed a normal bike can go when, for example, the wind is at your back, so that’s bollocks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Plastic Mr. Fantastic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t invent plastic recycling. They are, however, using it as an excuse to make more plastic. The EU had regulations against over packaging (like putting cucumbers in plastic) for a while until plastic recycling became a thing and they went ‘meh’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Other kids have to use them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QUACK QUACK QUACK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire antivaxx movement has 7 people at its core, all of whom have something to sell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QUACK QUACK QUACK⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  EBay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone give me some primers/resources on understanding politics in the Netherlands?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone who votes PVV, VVD, BBB or FVD is against democracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Pro-life" and "pro-choice" aren't actually opposite positions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pro birth. After that the kid can die for all they care.
