Give a person a fire, they’ll be warm for a day. Set them on fire, and they’ll be warm for the rest of their life.

Also Theophilus and Amadeus. That guy really loved god.
- Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation 12 hours ago:
This is like Minecraft YouTubers who go by their usernames in their videos, which is their job.

According to What If, a layer of processed hydrocarbons in the geological record.
- Comment on [Video] Racist "Stop The Boats" effigy lit in Northern Ireland 5 days ago:
Exactly, they’re burning all those right wing signs. If that’s a show of support, burning something, it was a poorly thought out one.
- Comment on [Video] Racist "Stop The Boats" effigy lit in Northern Ireland 5 days ago:
My understanding was that they were burning the ‘Stop the Boats’, which would mean they are in favour of the boats.

It took me a moment, but I think this means they are pro immigration?

That’s not a common British expression, at least, perhaps someone says it.

Those graphics are beautiful! What hardware are you running it on?
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 5 days ago:
Also my IP changes every time the router restarts, so that’s a thing too.
- Comment on Minecraft Creator Says That If Buying a Game Is Not a Purchase, Then Pirating It Is Not Theft 6 days ago:
Copied from a comment I just made elsewhere, but that applies here too:
As an end goal? I don’t want anyone’s lives to be destroyed. I do want to prevent harm happening to people, and if people are harmful to society they should be rehabilitated, or if not possible, isolated from society to prevent further harm. However, I don’t want anyone to be punished or have their life destroyed just for revenge, or because it seems ‘just’. That would just cause further unnecessary harm.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 6 days ago:
No, sane here. I also didn’t find its gameplay loop fun, although the graphics were incredible.
- Comment on The sheer amount of acronyms used to explain my behavior is beginning to look like the eye-chart at the vision clinic. 1 week ago:
And they all end in the ‘e’ sound.
- Comment on Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space. 1 week ago:
Lol, that’s omnipresent

What sort of universal reference frame do you seem to be assuming? All location is relative to other things, and keeping your location relative to, say, the Earth would be a lot more convenient that making it relative to some arbitrary star or something.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 week ago:
Lol, that’s great. I don’t know why you think I’d be outraged though
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 week ago:
As long as it’s intentionally made by a human and the end result is high quality, I personally don’t really care what AI or other tools they did or didn’t use to create that result
- Comment on We pay companies for products that we never truly own. When they mess-up, they decide what the mess-up is worth. If we mess-up and think we own their products, they can sue and put us in jail. 1 week ago:
Piracy already isn’t theft. At worst, it’s unlicensed copying. Conflating copying, where the original is not lost, to theft, where it is, should never have been done and was only ployed by the big companies to make it sound worse than it is.
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 1 week ago:
Way to victim blame people trying to defend themselves
- Comment on I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following? 1 week ago:
How come only ‘males’ are allowed to answer this? I watch Kristi Burke, who is not on your list.
- Comment on The sound of seagulls 2 weeks ago:
It’s also an identity and distance thing. Like, is the Baltic Sea the same, identity wise, as the Mediterranean? Even if the Baltic Sea is very large, if there was a corpse right below me in it, I wouldn’t want to swim there.

- Comment on Sealioning - a community for posting examples of sealioning and other forms of trolling on social networks 2 weeks ago:
This is just used to shut people down who have legitimate complaints. Like, replace ‘sealions’ with ‘black people’ in the comic, and I would be surprised to find many people who still think it’s ok.
