I honestly never notice. My wife hates having clocks around, and neither of us are slaves to routine.

Tipping is weird. Never do it.

If all religious people just offed themselves and went to heaven it would solve a lot of problems in the world.

It’s all in here.

The guy had several explanations rolled into one so it seems more like a dishonest lie than an honest mistake. The guy the article was about had a decent explanation of how it happened though. His blog has AI scraping protections enabled, so when the so called journalist asked an AI to write an article for him citing the blog post, the AI couldn’t access it, and did what AI do, made shit up.

Sell Orban.
- Comment on ..? 1 week ago:
Because I sometimes get curious and find out who they are. Either americans are less privacy conscious, or most tankies are american college kids, often with some neuropsychological disability kids like to flaunt nowadays.

Fortunately yes, but it took a couple of years.

Mostly cringe american kids who confuse authoritarianism for socialism.
- Comment on the end 1 week ago:
Like with many things, you’d have to be there. It’s OK to not understand things because you are too young to have experienced it at it’s peak of relevance. It doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Good luck! My child is behind 7 proxies!
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 1 week ago:
It’s been steadily downward since the release of Server 2012 when they started shoehorning every damn feature into increasingly bad web-UIs. I Worked on Microsoft environments since Server 2003 and I fucking hate that companies still use their garbage.

Did he recover after his incredibly cringe self-own relationship move?
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 1 week ago:
“Natural” or “unnatural” isn’t a thing, unless you believe in ghosts. Same as “humans are meant/built/made to X”, unless you’re one of those delusional cultists who think some deity designed us all.
Whatever we do, it’s “natural” and can most often be found elsewhere in nature. There are ants that farm aphids for fuck’s sake and other animals that do even weirder shit.

Dumbest shit ever.

It’s always a security risk to hire someone with family in an authoritarian country.

- Comment on Valve confirm Steam Deck stock issues due to "memory and storage shortages" 2 weeks ago:
Luckily ordered mine just a week ago. Guess it’ll be the gaming machine my son grows up with, because I’m not buying shit until this stupid ass bubble bursts.

Was is written by someone with a lot of factually incorrect “fun facts” who when corrected will try to play them off as “just a joke”?

The IOC could do with a good clean-up.

Even better. Love walking in the rain and deep snow is just bonus exercise.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 4 weeks ago:
I think people vastly underestimate how much people moved around in the past. Not just from mass migrations, but also individuals just ending up in places. An army was basically a moving city making it’s way around for years if not decades. New trade routes opening often meant people moving across the world to either end just to handle logistics. A fad started by one individual eventually turns into a staple, a tradition, a culture.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
It’s not much of a demand. Do your guests usually struggle with basic physical activities, like bending over, or sitting on a stool/bench?
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
That smell is bacteria. Next time you buy shoes, buy two pairs and rotate between them. The shoes will last longer and your feet won’t smell as much. Another pro tip is wool socks. It doesn’t have to be 100% wool, and they don’t have to be thick and warm. Wools is naturally antibacterial and will not keep moisture trapped by your feet.

Wipe their paws off at the door. Your dogs will thank you.

All food is some kind of fusion. Humans have been cooking for hundreds of thousands of years, and very few communities have been truly isolated in human history. People going on about “true” this, and “authentic” that, just don’t know shit about cooking or culture.
