• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those of you who are angry at the US for allowing ICE to stifle people's liberties - how do you channel your anger and irritation?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Edit for the Bylines network.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any quick ways I can study, read and process socialist/communist theory?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Socialism and communism are two different things. Don’t use that slash as if they’re synonyms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨COVID's "new normal" = safety hysteria, digital dependence and "expert" obedience?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Covid is still a huge problem. It’s causing brain damage, it’s causing heart damage, it’s causing long covid and it’s killing shit tons of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK this is Edward Bullmore, one of the world leading expert on the human brain. He believes a lot of depression is linked to inflammation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried to look it up once and found a whole bunch of lists that contradicted each other. So I gave up.

  My mother in law is eating an “anti inflammation” diet because she thinks it will cure her arthritis and she’s severely underweight and definitely not healthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Zyrtec is great too, but it causes pretty bad drowsiness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think dealing arms, rigging elections and bribing politicians is imposing people, but what do I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of the most detrimental things to a productive society is when people think their actions don't make a difference⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He’d have lost by way more than that if people had voted. The largest “vote” were the none votes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anyway I can screw around with ICE? I need a new hobby I come from a long line of immigrants. If i send my home address and phone number will they actually come and deport me to choose a cntr⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d join ICE if I wasn’t 58 and not in the US. I joined the local equivalent in instead (software development).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In order to be allowed to drive, you don't just have to promise to pay if you hit someone, you have to pay in advance in case you hit someone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get an additional discount (no claims bonus) for every year I don’t hit someone).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who care deeply about important events they have no impact on are abnormal, most people just go about their day without giving a shit.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people don’t realise how many things they think won’t affect them will ultimately affect them.

  Also, being a selfish prick is nothing to be proud of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well we certainly aren't talking about the Epstein files.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well we certainly aren't talking about the Epstein files.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that why they’re meeting with Denmark to talk about taking over Greenland?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: ICE is MURDERING in the streets!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well done, you fell for the divide and conquer tactics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: ICE is MURDERING in the streets!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s time for those well organised militias, people. Stop yelling “impeach him”. You’re way past that stage (which would require a functional democracy).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “We” call it Holland because foreigners say “eh?” when we call it the Netherlands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If president abductions are something that can apparently just happen how come Putin or Kim Jong Un aren't in some foreign prison right now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a regime change. Venezuela still has the same regime, just with a different president. People are terrified because the government seems to be out for revenge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nestlé used to make three “tiers” of chocolate: continental Europe (decent), the UK (meh), the US (bad).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anything of any interests for the tech bros in Greenland?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Greenland protects the EU against Trump and Putin. That’s why he wants it. He’s in cahoots with Putin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vienna would need about 150 km² of solar panels to produce enough electricity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So combine it with other renewable energy, you know, how it’s usually done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Dutch immigrant groups I’ve been part of have also been scarily right wing. I don’t bother anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And Turkish people in Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can put the knife down when needed, Janice. It’s not rocket science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not that bothered about loud Americans. Italians are worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The obsession with brands. Insisting off brand medication is different when it literally HAS to be the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m not saying that I agree with right- or center-wing views, and I do condemn transphobia. However, do you think there should be a distinction between critiquing beliefs held by transgender people, and engaging in transphobia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I have a headache.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People with no friends needs to get the fuck up over it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bet they have no friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is Trump’s Sudetenland. Expect him to invade Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evidence⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The rest believe it too, but their papers are deliberately written in such a way that journalists can misinterpret them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I get the Measles and/or Mpox vaccines if I had them as a child?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The annoying thing is, I was born in 1967 and never had the measles, and according to STIKO I don’t need to be vaccinated, so the insurance won’t pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Israel’s “Samson Option”: The Nuclear Target List that includes American and European cities…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They won’t, because the US is on their side and hates Europe and Russia can’t afford nuclear payloads.
