- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 5 days ago:
Yeah I’m curious how it was asked.
Cause of course women get abused that 100% is true, but there are definitely some women who lie about it. How many? Who knows. I would like to say only a few but I have no data to support it, I can only say it’s most likely non-zero.
- Comment on Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS 1 week ago:
Our work uses laptops and it’s already a pain in the ass with Microsoft office being subscription based cause they are often in areas with no internet or cell reception then bam, “please login”
Fuck!

- Comment on Burger King will use AI to monitor employee 'friendliness' 1 week ago:
I fucking hate false courtesy.
Just help me and don’t be a dick.
I despise it when anyone says anything close to “thanks for choosing ____!” Or “Thank you for your business!” at any sort of chain or multimillion dollar company.
We all know it’s fake, none of those employees actually give a fuck. It’s demeaning to your employees to demand false cheer like that and I dislike the company more when ever it happens.
I would prefer a helpful rude employee than a useless sycophantic employee.
- Comment on $1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets 1 week ago:
I bought a rebuild Subaru for $15k and have gotten almost 150k miles out of it in the past 5 years.
There’s no way I would buy a new vehicle unless I was significantly stable in my finances and made way more money.
I don’t understand why people who can barely afford them buy new vehicles when there are much cheaper used options.
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 2 weeks ago:
Depending on the building code / age of house it may or may not be on an individual circuit.
I think newer homes don’t so there’s one less point of failure that can prevent them for going off in a fire. I could be wrong though.
- Comment on Tesla Switches Full Self-Driving to Subscription Only 2 weeks ago:
Although I wouldn’t be surprised if you sold your grandfathered Tesla that it cancels the lifetime FSD and therefore brings your resale down despite probably paying more upfront

I’m actually re-reading this comment kind of drunk and feel like my typo just came up with the perfect gener neutral term of “hem”

I don’t think it’s necessarily the text books that are the issue but rather the physical act of writing your own notes.
I think it’s that now people type all their notes into a laptop rather than write it down.

Not sure if there’s been anything more official or recent but I definitely remember hem talking about guns shouldn’t be allowed near protests after Alex pretty got murdered by ICE
- Comment on Gottem 3 weeks ago:
Wait, if the researchers don’t know who got the pal ebo but placebos can cause actual effects how do they know which effects are from the medication and which are from the placebo? If someone got a placebo and experienced headaches but no one on the medication did do they still have to warn that the medication may cause headaches?
- Comment on Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors 3 weeks ago:
Their electrical companies don’t exactly have the best record for maintenance and repairs…
- Comment on between medicine and this, we do not honour rats enough 3 weeks ago:
They should train them to bring down a little can on a string so you can talk to them 😂

But what if it’s your domestic turkey you raised from an egg and fed all its life on your farm?
- Comment on Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen-and-paper instead 3 weeks ago:
During school I would always type up my notes during class so I could get them down quickly but then during study after I would hand write the notes into my notebooks so that I could take the time to keep them organized and make sure it made sense.
- Comment on Officers call for police cars to be equipped with guns 3 weeks ago:
You would think that a decent number of pice would be trained in firearms use and then at least have some guns available at each station that can then send out a trained officer when needed.
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 3 weeks ago:
I think it would increase competitiveness as well.
Google will actually have to innovate if they want to have people buy their products rather than just being the default one and only choice.
- Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users 3 weeks ago:
I find it impossible to use for anything that involves historical / old information.
It’s all live chat it seems, so if someone asked a question on how to do X within Y 8 months ago and that’s what you are trying to find the answer to as well, it’s practically impossible to find so you have to ask it again and hope someone is around with the answer.
It’s a place that’s only useful for live discussions on recent topics, which is quite limited in use.
- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 4 weeks ago:
Yet then if you are a mother and don’t take your child to see medical care you are accused of child neglect and have them potentially taken away or you go to jail because you couldn’t afford to take them to the hospital.
- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 4 weeks ago:
They say Pro life but fuck over the poor kids after they’re born.

Same, I was disappointed though that they never asked for a reason why
- Comment on Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children 4 weeks ago:
There was someone who reported that due to the incompetence of whitehouse staffers, some of the Epstein files had simply been “redacted” in ms word by highlighted the text black, so people were actually able to remove the reactions by turning the pdf back into word and removing the black highlighting to reveal the text.
Who knows if some of the photos might be the same issue.

Adobe made me hate pdf files.

Usually the space between floors In a residential house is like 12" minimum. Not sure about highrises and large apartments though.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
I just find regular clothes so uncomfortable in a relaxing setting like lying on the couch and watching tv.
Perfectly fine with them If I’m at work or going about my day outside but pajamas and loose clothing are just so much nicer to me than jeans or collared shirts at home
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
Only if it’s a quick trip <3 minutes after using a boot scraper and brush. Unless I know I’ve stepped in something particularly sticky like mud.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
Actually I absolutely agree with your friend and I don’t even stop at jeans.
If I get home after work and I have zero plans to leave the house again or have anyone over I am in my Pajamas as soon as I can get my pants off, even if it’s only 5pm lol
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
I mean, if you’re doing yard work or something understandable to leave your shoes on in your own home if you’re coming inside for a snack or to grab something etc I do that all the time.
But like, if I invite someone over to hang out for a few hours I expect them to take their shoes off tying the laces isn’t that complicated.
And if I am taking the day off and don’t really need to leave the house for any reason I won’t even touch my shoes I’m going to be barefoot or in slippers all God damn day.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s probably why it’s labelled as shoes on then I imagine and why Canada is labelled shoes off since any sort of foot covering is expected / not expected.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 4 weeks ago:
Quite possible
