Wait until you hear about How Vodka Ruined Russia
Tankies ought to be frothing at the mouth about alcoholism, since apparently they love Stalin. And Stalin brought back alcoholism to Russia (Not a socialist at all, in my opinion)
(Disclaimer, I’m in general much further left than the YouTube channel Kraut, but he makes some quite well put-together videos)

Dashing through the bush in a rusty Holden ute. Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot. Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs, It’s summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs. Oh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer’s day, Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut. Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute.

What’s worse, is this was the plan all along

I didn’t choose it (not my video).
I’d encourage you to watch it anyway, if you can get past the trauma…
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 1 week ago:
No, it’s not my video, and it’s not like I chose the thumbnail.
I’ll just say folks, this has left me with a “people just like to complain” vibes.
The video is excellent, and exposing how the internet is the wild west of companies lying, cheating and stealing.
Maybe you could engage with that, rather than the creator having to make a stupid thumbnail to keep the algorithm happy.

Literally any device plugged into a dumb screen is better than a smart TV.
The hardware on a smart TV is typically absolute trash. It’s why they’re so slow.

Out of curiousity, which one is this?
And whether you look under the rug, is that true in all texts of the religion?
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 4 weeks ago:
Personally I’d make an exception to my moral stance that work as punishment is slavery, and would prefer to keep him around forcing him to work 70 hours a week, in addition to doing all the other chores required so that he can live - in prison - for the rest of his life.
Maybe we’ll make it 84 hours a week just for good measure, can’t be giving him a day off.
Seems more poetic

This is the first useful example of fahrenheit I’ve ever heard.
Doesn’t really beat 0°C being freezing (great for weather), in my opinion, but still nice!
Thanks

Does this mean the big bang happened in -273.15 BC?
- Comment on Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth 5 weeks ago:
I dunno, seems pretty rock solid that the majority of people aren’t praying to the Christian god, seeing as nowhere even close to a majority of people on earth are Christian.
There are all sorts of religions out there, and many who don’t believe in religion at all.
I do agree that all humans are prone to bias, that’s why it’s so important to be aware of it in order to mitigate it.
The OOP making some stupid religious claims, definitely is not aware.
- Comment on Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth 5 weeks ago:
It’s because they missed the point of my comment. That it’s selection bias to claim that everyone is praying to the Christian god, when statistically, that can’t be true, even if they are praying.
The selection bias had nothing to do with selecting the planes that crashed, but selecting planes that crashed in the US, which is a much more Christian country than many other places.
- Comment on Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth 5 weeks ago:
This mfer has never heard of selection bias.
What are the bets they’re in the US, and hearing about crashes mostly in the US?
Christianity may be the largest religion in the world, but it’s a plurality, not a majority.

This is fairly common in various industrial sites when it’s big enough.
- Comment on FAWK BAHD! PUT THAT DART OUT! 5 weeks ago:
While there are many such people, there are also many workers who are just as exploited by capitalism as you, and are just getting by, or work for a company that does work for oil companies from time to time and you don’t get to choose what projects you’re on.
As with most things, it’s capitalism that needs to end in order to have much chance of mitigating climate catastrophe.

A friend of a friend worked at a plant where someone got fired for riding around on the provided bicycles with no hands and crashed.
Shit like this would also most certainly get you fired at any plant.

As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?
Without looking into it further, I’m gonna guess the same reason I find a lot of people I agree with on a number of issues so insufferable: holier-than-thou, self-congratulatory, moral crusading.
Just existing and being willing to answer people’s questions genuinely is way more effective. I literally never bring it up, people only find out by happenstance and often ask about it themselves. If they don’t, it’s not that interesting (in my opinion).
Anecdotally, anyway.

Does it really cost what Kagi is charging? I would love to see some research on this if people happen to know where to find such articles.
Like, in theory to pay for Kagi or a similar service but it’s just extrotionately expensive.
I pay for other service which are offered for free (like email hosting), but those are reasonably priced.
