- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 1 day ago:
Bingo, this is just a way of raising taxes on the poor without “raising taxes”.
- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 2 days ago:
As an outsider that seems to be the gist of what’s going on in the US, no one’s really against the bad things (corruption, guns, intolerance, etc), they just want to win at it.
- Comment on Honestly 3 days ago:
If not, then the premise should really be: “your Waifu becomes real, but there’s a 50% chance you are the one becoming your Waifu”.
- Comment on AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents 1 week ago:
Nothing says you need to kill him right before he makes open AI, right? 90s here we come! (PTSD from shooting down a child be damned).
- Comment on Heathrow unveils £49 bn expansion plan for third runway 1 week ago:
No kidding, that number is insane! I’m sure it must include a bunch of aviation grade crap and the tech and whatnot but still that’s so obviously inflated. It’s like those fire trucks where one light bar costs 20x what a normal one costs, just because it goes on a fire truck…
- Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life? 1 week ago:
Even if you go into your passion field, you might love it for a year but soon enough that too will become the “thing you have to do”.
- Comment on Hand cranked and twisted 1 week ago:
Something something “have you seen the finger?” Something something
- Comment on Son of Australia 1 week ago:
To be fair it looks like Richard was his second name, so it must’ve been a conscious decision on his part to use it as his usual name.
- Comment on Hot birds in your area ifykyk 1 week ago:
Common shag is fantastic.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 1 week ago:
We were a couple right away so no existing friendship beforehand but within the relationship, that’s kinda how it works yeah!
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 1 week ago:
That’s the gist of the success of my marriage. Even before we met, we both had reached a point of maturity where we were confident in ourselves as single people, and then from that solid base you can build the relationship in a healthy way. We both try to be the best to our partner, while being ultimately independent. These over-jealous people are using their relationship as a crutch for life so they’re terrified of it going wrong. Either that or they’re guilty themselves and projecting.
- Comment on From games to reminders to drink water: The rise of 'streaks,' rewards that keep you hooked 2 weeks ago:
None of these ever worked on me. I see Reddit started doing it too btw.

- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 2 weeks ago:
Yes the whole red<->blue political spectrum swap in the US is confusing sometimes for us non-US.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US fill in the area in the Pacific to connect Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland? Are they stupid? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe the Dutch can help out with this.
- Comment on U.S. home sales fade in June as national median sales price hits an all-time high of $435,300 2 weeks ago:
And that’s with maxing out your mortgage allowance, which I honestly wouldn’t recommend if you can avoid it.
- Comment on Good enough I guess. 2 weeks ago:
That’s the one with all the potatoes, right?
- Comment on Good enough I guess. 2 weeks ago:
Revenge is a dish best served in map form.
- Comment on Does farting make you lighter or heavier ? 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like solid scientific research to me, I will now carry this nugget of information as an absolute fact.
- Comment on Why do we humans love music so? 2 weeks ago:
It’s mainly to get laid. Now that I think of it, that’s kind of the case with human music as well.
- Comment on Why do people hate coldplay? 2 weeks ago:
I’m here to confirm your setup was essential to provide the secondary setup for the epic punchline.
- Comment on First video of an earthquake fault cracking has revealed another surprise 2 weeks ago:
So you’re saying I should find a dirt cheap property that’s uphill from a coast, and cross my fingers a flood will carry it over to become beach-front and quadruple its value?
- Comment on cookie combs 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any household grade ovens really provide even heat, maybe if you use them with the rotating fan thing, but certainly not in standard mode. You need to spend the big bucks on professional kitchen grade stuff for that.
- Comment on Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics 3 weeks ago:
Most of the stories are about how the laws don’t work and how to circumvent them, yes.
- Comment on I meant to do that 3 weeks ago:
I got confused for a second by the use of km/h because here in Europe everyone knows the white vans with ladders on top (or work vans in general) are driving at warp speed and do not give a fuck. You might be flying down the autobahns at 200km/h there’s still gonna be a van behind you flashing its lights telling you to move over so they can pass.
- Comment on It’s the little things 3 weeks ago:
So it would actually be more practical, don’t need to mop it up if it evaporates.
- Comment on Day 363 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Can’t believe you’ve been doing these for nearly a year! Are you gonna keep going after the anniversary?
- Comment on Really?! 4 weeks ago:
Fantastic, this was exactly what I needed to get into my most ambitious project that starts tomorrow, thanks!
- Comment on Same Vibe 5 weeks ago:
Shhh just let it happen.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s not quite the same if you decided it, and can leave or connect to the internet at any moment.
