Like the AI assistant following the link to tell the user what’s on the other end? There has to be a way to exploit that.

I just want to take a moment to recognise and respect the effort expended to so thoroughly detail the how and why of antivaxxers (anti-intellectualism in general if one reads the general context) in simple terms.
The more people that are exposed to this kind of explained reasoning, the less people there are to be taken advantage of by these dangerous charlatans.

Oh, well done. A genuine, proper laugh, loud enough the cat and the wife both looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
- Comment on USB-C PSU is 9v *only*. Is that compliant? Did a PD-compliant charger fry my gear? 3 days ago:
There’s a wide voltage difference between “I’m dead, charge me” and “I’m so dead any half competent charging circuitry will refuse to charge me lest I combust”.
If it’s fuggered, you’ve got nothing to lose by opening it up and seeing how hard replacing the (probably 18650 Li-Ion) cell(s).
Good chance they’ve got solder tabs spot welded onto the cells, but that’s not a showstopper, you can buy em that way if you don’t know anyone with a spot welder.

A horrendous number of dead working age men?
- Comment on Littering 🚯 3 weeks ago:
It’s eaten anyway. I’ve watched people spit the shot into an ashtray and carry on eating the rabbit pie. It was a while ago, when I was a wee bairn, but I know full well there are those in my hometown that still do this.
Not enough to account for the sheer, balls-out stupidity of voting to quit the EU when your specific area receives a notable amount (one of the highest in the EU, no less) of funding from said organisation to help regenerate the area.
Intelligence isn’t highly rated in these areas, so it’s hard to tell cause from effect here.

“Hunters”; that use a literal scattergun to murder animals because they lack the skill to succeed with anything less should be shamed as the pathetic little cowards they are.
If the hunting isn’t about the murder, prove it, and use a more discriminating weapon to do the job and only harm what you intend to kill and eat.

“All these people saying they know people who’ve died in car accidents are talking bullshit. I drive every day, and I’ve not died.”

They fell for the lies they wanted to hear because they propped up their ability to have it all. Fuck 'em.
- Comment on YSK that Boris Johnson was one of the most corrupt Prime Minister in British history. He was obsessed about money 3 months ago:
It’s relevant in that the inquest into the Government of the time’s handling of the covid-19 pandemic has just concluded. Their findings come as no great surprise to anyone. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson -to refer to the self serving sack of festering syphilitic fucks by it’s full name- is responsible for the government mishandling of the whole affair.
- Comment on Nearly all drivers say headlights are too bright 3 months ago:
Very much this.
If every other twat wasn’t a driving a fucking wankpanzer to drop little cunting Timmy at football practice 200 frigging yards up the bastard road it wouldn’t be half fucking the problem it is.
Annnnd breathe…

IMO, you missed the best bit off:
A shock wave from the accident shattered all four windows in the room. The shock wave also destroyed the control system for an incubator and shook an interior wall causing shelving on the wall to collapse.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 5 months ago:
He’s a bell end. He’s always been a bell end. I had the dubious pleasure of meeting him when I was working as a games press outfit’s tech monkey over a decade ago at Gamescom in Cologne.
Every other word out of his mouth was a business buzzword, he’s smarmy and smug, my skin crawled the whole time he was present.
It looks like he’s as high on his own farts now as he was back then.

Literally an illegal alien, and they refuse to see it.
