  I’d rather rip a carton of 0.1mg nic/4g tar cigarettes than gum a single pouch of whatever Fucker Carlson is selling

  “Millions-worth” in a truckload of that trash.

  They’re better off dumping the payload in a sinkhole and keeping the container

  “It’s okay, because it’s Microsoft” is management’s response when I raise a concern at work.

  Heaven forbid you use an open source tool that isn’t on the software whitelist yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is creatine safe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be confused, but I thought creatine gives your muscles a minor"second wind" kinda thing so you can push yourself to do some extra reps? It’s not like a steroid kinda thing, I was told.

  I haven’t held a bottle at that angle since I was 19 years old

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harm production⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s a huge spike in gambling if that counts.

  House always wins, my main takeaway from a few high school probability classes, a horrible first time at a casino and Fallout New Vegas probably.

  So many people are desperate and throwing their money and hope at that predatory and shockingly under-regulated industry

  I’d say it’s probably worse and less manageable than most central nervous system surprises available at the gas station

  Hope you’re less afraid? I am high, so I could all be, like, stupidly wrong.

  Not that it makes it any better, but at least they tried hiding operation paperclip. Hopefully indicating some kind of shame.

  Barely changed the logo

  You have to retroactively do what I did and cripple your attention span to a point where if you see any piece of text longer than a few sentences, your brain just automatically skips past it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Broadcast English”

  Interesting term

  I’ve always noticed that In movies and TV shows, North American accents mostly sound “normal”. But when I talk to Americans/Canadians in person or online over voice chat, I cannot pinpoint the accents, it just sounds “American” to me.

  I almost never hear the

  “I’m walkin here”

  “Folks won’t take kindly to you around these parts”

  “I pahked my cah at the Hahvahd yahd”

  “I’m sorey aboot that”

  I’m totally down, I just need to, like, check my schedule?

  etc.

  kinds of exaggerated accents

  everyone sounds like someone from CNN to me and then they say they’re from Arkansas or something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨devastated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to see my recommendations :{

  Not rooted, or flashing a custom ROM, so I can’t delete the play store.

  Also, my bank app wasn’t installing properly from Aurora. I don’t remember what the exact issue was, but it was too much of a hassle to figure out (or change banks)

  But that second profile idea is smart

  I should have done that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting thought

  I don’t think the other nations are too bothered by it in most cases.

  The country that comes to mind first is Germany. They call it Deutschland. I never looked into why we as English speakers call it “Germany”. I just do it because everyone else does.

  I haven’t heard of Germans getting upset about it. If they were legitimately offended, I’d start calling it Deutschland, no problem.

  The real issues come in when there’s a historical context. Like, if the name contains a slur for the people in that nation. Or if you mix up the names of neighbouring Balkan countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on how serious you are:

  Choose weed instead

  Or the crisis line. You probably already know where to find it. Help is available. You do not have to suffer alone. I love you homie.

  News crew pronounced it that way on purpose with a straight face.

  Pure dedication. How many takes did they need for that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨girlfriend⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong, although I feel like the implication in this context was slightly more antagonistic.

  i.e. “It’s only a matter of time before she leaves your sorry ass”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s not accusing televangelist fraudsters, war criminals, or deceptive, charismatic, powerful world leaders that threaten religious freedom.

  Isn’t that him and his entire social circle?

  if you asked a random person off the street:

  hi which one of these people do you think is most likely the Antichrist:

  1. Greta Thunberg (Climate Activist)
  2. Eliezer Yudkowsky (AI researcher)
  3. Peter Thiel (Chairman of Palantir)

  I’m going to guess most people will pick option 3.

  I didn’t even know who Eliezer was, I just skimmed his Wikipedia page.

  I’m an atheist, but hearing about a billionaire defense contractor who goes on rants about the antichrist makes me think “hmm maybe this dude is the Antichrist”.

  It just reminds me too much of those super anti-paedophilia guys who make anti-paedophilia their entire personality and then turn out to have terabytes of CSAM on their laptop.
