  You definitely board a taxi though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have to throw punches, make sure to punch upwards.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re absolutely right, and I agree.

  When I started learning the craft of roast comedy, this was drilled into me. You never ever ever punch down. Not under any circumstances. That makes you a bully. But punching up? That makes you a fucking hero. If you’re going to roast someone, first you have to acknowledge that they are better than you in some way, and if you can’t do that, you don’t touch them.

  ~Of course it’s easy for me, I’m nobody~

  I think we already know the answer to that one.

  Too right. I smoke and I’ve never once had a boner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am looking for a Linux OS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I run mainline Ubuntu and there has only ever been one game I wanted to play that I couldn’t play, and that’s because Epic Games deliberately made it incompatible.

  Nobody deserves to be spied on. Get a grip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d recommend Tubular over NewPipe. Tubular is a fork with extra features such as SponsorBlock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK how to protect yourself at a protest⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t sure about adding my advice on this because I live in a different country, so I can’t say for sure what the best advice is where you are. I’ve never had a bad experience at a protest, but there’s always the possibility, so I like to be prepared.

  Personally, I bring my secondary phone. It’s locked with a password - not face ID or a fingerprint, so that the arsenuggets can’t “accidentally” unlock my phone. And I put it in airplane mode. At least in my country, they use Bluetooth beacons to scan the crowd, so make sure that’s turned off too (airplane mode doesn’t always turn that off). A burner phone would also work if you buy it on the way to the protest and trash it on your way home. Don’t take it home.

  No call no show sends a stronger message if you’re privileged enough to be able to do that. If not, call in sick. Or go-slow all day. Do what you can.

  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.

  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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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

  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!
