  He has the energy of that kid in high school who has been told his whole he’s the smartest person ever by his parents, and now he thinks everything he ever thinks is the objective truth.

  I’m not even convinced a bakery made that cake. The picture is waaaay off center, and the twirly stuff looks like shit. I’m convinced they skipped the bakery and just made it themselves.

  I can’t play stuff that requires kernal level anticheat (I know I know, “stop playing those game” no, fuck off). When I can actually play all the games I use to socialise with my very limited amount of friends, sure, but until then, for my use case, Linux is just not good.

  Shit, my boss knows perfectly well that if he didn’t pay me, I’d be working for his competitor. It just so happens that I am widly nerdy about what we do, and absolutely love everything about my job, so I am willing to actually do it with a smile on my face, but there is an unspoken agreement, that the absolutely only thing that is actually getting me out of bed in the morning, is the fact that I get paid.

  Ehh, it’s like most of the extinction-event movies of that time. It’s dumb at points, but if everything was realistic, everything would be pretty damn boring. It’s in my top 10 of that genre.

  Well there’s you problem. You asked it about the Department of Defense, not the Department of Warcrimes.

  Question. Are the knives really needed? I feel like getting hit with what is essentially a 5 foot long, 7 inch wide bullet, travelling at mach 1 would prove to be equally efficient at killing single targets, as strapping knives to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It will be great, they said...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly to me it’s about the quality. Everything in focus is incredibly smooth, more so than you’d get with a normal camera or phone, while the background is blurred. This looks like a convension setting of some sort, they would’ve taken the photo with their scratched phone camera and posted it immidiately without trying to edit anything.

  Also, the text is different on every board. The top 2 texts are oriented straight at the camera, while the bottom texts are angled a bit, but not angled equally. Indicating it wasn’t just copy pasted, but an attempt to get a new angle every time. This could just mean badly edited, but I’m going with AI on that part too, because someone badly editing a joke like this, would simply copy paste the first textbox after getting the angle sort of right.

  Supporting the AFD is plenty to never give him any benefit of the doubt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk, doing Elon Musk things.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Had a conversation with a coworker about why I won’t ever consider buying a Tesla, and first they denied Musk being a nazi, and then tried to play it off as “why does it even matter if he’s a nazi? It’s not like he’s hurting anyone, only jews need to be afraid of nazis”. Lost every single ounce of respect for that corworker today. Nazis don’t deserve to live, they absolutely fucking don’t deserve my money, and playing it off as: “at least his idealogi isn’t trying to murder you”, is just fucking insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They were once as car centric as everywhere else.

  Not quite sure about that. Denmark famously had a bicycle regiment during WW2. We’ve never been anywhere near as car centric as places like the US, for various reasons including, but probably not limited to:

  1. Our cities and towns are really close. I can cycle for 30 minutes and get through 3-4 towns around my rural parts.
  2. We have had excellent public transportation for a very long time.
  3. Old ass cities are really bad for big roads, so instead you get a bunch of crammed roads that are awful to navigate, resulting in more people prefering their bike, since it’s about as fast anyway.
  4. We have a very high (compared to the USA) tax on cars, gas and everything relating to it. This started in the 70’s when oil got scarce. To try to make people conserve oil, we started to tax the shit out of it, and kept doing it. As a result, driving a large vehicles is super expensive, and if you CAN live without one, you’re much better off riding a bicycle.

  This is not to say that the person you responded to isn’t completely wrong about everything, it’s just not going to help acting like we’ve ever been as crazy about our cars as they have always been. It could also be a decent roadmap for how to get rid of the huge deathtraps, and get people more excited about bicycles.

  Why would they though? The military is by design authoritarian. They’re fucking loving the fascist revolution.

  How many people signed up to go to Afghanistan, just to shoot brown people? It’s filled with racist pieces of shit, with a boner for being dominated by an angry prick with an inferiority complex and a crew cut.

  I don’t get any of that. No ads for microsoft products, my start menu is literally just a blank space with Project Diablo 2 and Calculator as quick access. Not even on my Samsung tv do I get ads unless I choose to tune into one of their free channels.

  I keep hearing about adds on computers, smart tvs, fridges and shit, is that solely an american thing? I’m in Europe and never get any of that shit. Sure, Microsoft will tell me at installation that they’d like to “personalize” some adds for me, but I have never actually had a single one. Did the EU block them or something?

  They’re supposed to be positioned in low earth orbit. Apart from a very slim belt that light would’ve hit the planet anyway.
