I scrolled down to post this too

It’s a good job this is restricted data, then. :)

Fortunately, health insurance isn’t a concern because it’s not really a thing here in the UK.
- Comment on If someone tells you "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism", what would you say? 1 day ago:
I don’t think I’d bother engaging, if they’re speaking in simplistic gotchas they probably got from the internet I have better things to do with my time, such as my wife

As I understand it, you only share half of your DNA with your parents and siblings, even less with more distant relatives, and it’s not easy to tell which bits of DNA come from where. Also the records are anonymised so it’s even harder to figure out which person you can infer information about.

How?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I got shadowbanned from Reddit a few months before I left. I didn’t even know that shadowbanning was a thing. As soon as I learned why my posts weren’t getting any replies at all ever, I emailed in to ask why, and got a canned reply saying that they aren’t going to go into detail. I still have absolutely no idea why it happened. So I just deleted my account and moved over here.
- Comment on if portals are invented, will I be able to eat out myself? 3 days ago:
This has been asked and answered by a surprisingly large fandom, try a search for “portal panties”
- Comment on The lyrics to "if you're happy and you know it" imply you can be happy and not know it 3 days ago:
Dave Gorman did a stand-up bit about this. His version goes something like
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it clap your hands
But if you’re happy and don’t know it, or unhappy and you do
Then the clauses in this song do not apply to you
But if you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it
Then, and only then, please clap your hands

I can count to 22 if I take off my socks and my top
- Comment on I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up? 1 week ago:

- Comment on You could convince evangelicals that AI is bad by saying it's converting children to satanism or making them gay 1 week ago:
Most Xtians have never read the bible.
If they had, they’d advocate for it to be banned. Think of the content it contains. Think of the children! Oh! The vapours!

Someone already did that, chatwithjesus.app
- Comment on The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing 1 week ago:
Skill issue. Sounds like they need to hear it more often tbh.
- Comment on Companies with TLDs named after them is the best example of how ridiculously big those companies are. 2 weeks ago:
Oh! I thought that was a different kind of BBC.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 2 weeks ago:
What, exactly, do you think a community of randos is going to do against a heavily-armed extra-legal military operation?
This isn’t a jab or a gotcha, I’m genuinely curious what this idea of community defense would look like.
- Comment on AGDQ 2026 has ended, raising US$2,443,414 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t Prevent Cancer Foundation that charity that gives GDQ kickbacks? Or am I getting my wires crossed?
- Comment on Hotel review sites should include a section where reviewers can share the internet speed 2 weeks ago:
That’s what I meant, yeah.

Am I the only one who would never trust hotel wifi with a device I actually care about?
- Comment on In order to be allowed to drive, you don't just have to promise to pay if you hit someone, you have to pay in advance in case you hit someone 2 weeks ago:
In the UK you can set up a self-insurance fund. But to do it you have to set aside tens of millions of pounds in a dedicated, easily-accessible fund, and hire an expensive lawyer who knows how to do it. Probably better to just take the hit and invest the millions at that point. I don’t know. I’m not a millionaire. I’m not even a thousandaire. :P
- Comment on How to vote? 2 weeks ago:
I’d like to say I upvote anything that I think is a positive addition to the community it’s posted in, regardless of whether I agree with it substantively or not. But honestly, it’s all just vibes.
Downvotes aren’t a thing on my instance and I like it that way.
- Comment on How come Netflix removed the N from their shows, kind of make it seem like they borrow all the stuff? I usually use it for a segway into other shows/movies not made by them? 2 weeks ago:
HOW COME NETFLIX REMOVED THE N FROM THEIR SHOWS, KIND OF MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY BORROW ALL THE STUFF? I USUALLY USE IT FOR A SEGWAY INTO OTHER SHOWS/MOVIES NOT MADE BY THEM?
(sorry, couldn’t resist)
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 2 weeks ago:
Turns out: nothing really.
- Comment on When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires. 3 weeks ago:
I’m pleased to inform you that you are wrong.
A large language model works by predicting the statistically-likely next token in a string of tokens, and repeating until it’s statistically-likely that its response has finished.
You can think of a token as a word but in reality tokens can be individual characters, parts of words, whole words, or multiple words in sequence.
The only addition these “agentic” models have is special purpose tokens. One that means “launch program”, for example.
That’s literally how it works.
AI. Cannot. Think.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t do it.
The risk is huge. To maintain good diplomatic relations they would probably forward the emails to US federal law enforcement (assuming they weren’t just sniffed in-flight), who would gleefully take a cheap W by throwing you in a Supermax prison.
Absolutely not worth it for the reward of feeling slightly cheeky for a few seconds before realisation sets in.
