- Comment on What would happen if a person proved in a lab they're gaining weight while in a verified calorie deficit? 1 week ago:
And of course, let’s not forget the people that outright lie about being a lardass.
- Comment on What's the best free version of word? 2 weeks ago:
The best free version is the one provided by MASS. Any other word processor typically has some kind of downside.
- Comment on Should I replace my laptop battery, and are third-party batteries safe? 2 weeks ago:
Precisely. Sadly, that’s not a decision made by anyone that would frequent this comment section.
- Comment on Are you people all bots? 2 weeks ago:
Fellow internet peruser
- Comment on Mount an ISO in Linux? 3 weeks ago:
Or use Everything, which is a lot fsster.
- Comment on Why do crappy parents defend their child when they are masively publicly misbehaving and being shitheads? 3 weeks ago:
The answer to your question is the 3rd and 4th words of the title.
- Comment on How much more would you pay for handcranked _____? 3 weeks ago:
I think we found an exception to the community name.
- Comment on At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation? 3 weeks ago:
Frankly, at the point we’re already at, this time around the cause would be “We don’t like competition”.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Could be any number of things. Bringing back memories he doesn’t want, mistaken identity, jealous SO. Anyone on here can only guess. Your best avenue is people you mutually know, assuming that wasn’t his way of definitively telling you he wants to be left alone.

Get outta town! It’s automatic too?!
- Comment on Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine? 5 weeks ago:
Makes much more sense.
- Comment on Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine? 5 weeks ago:
A machine machine?
- Comment on What can Trump get away with and what can he not? Hell one president shot an enemy to him. Can he do that? 2 months ago:
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure you’re right. I remember seeing an interview some years ago where a collection of Trump supporters were being asked some questions, including ones in the vein of ‘if he did x’ and one of them was ‘If Trump shot a man in the street and killed him, would you stop support him?’ and the answer was ‘That depends, did he deserve it?’. That one opened my eyes to the sort of people we’re dealing when it comes to Trump supporters. The fact that he got in again since that only killed more of the little bit of faith I had in humanity.
- Comment on Why put a no trespassing sign on a bus stop 2 months ago:
Welcome to people. Instead of fixing the homelessness, governments would prefer to make the situation worse while doing their best to ignore it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Looks more like roughly 40 people care which seems pretty accurate in general.
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 2 months ago:
Koalas would be Bogan. “Luk at mee n ah’ll scratch ye eyes owt ya pommy cant!”
- Comment on How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events? 3 months ago:
Look to the past. People are constantly doing the same dumb shit.
- Comment on Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"? 3 months ago:
There’s no requirement for a person to be 6’ to realise OP isn’t near that height. Most people know their own height or at least an approximation. Someone 5’5" will notice this “6’ person” is only 3 inches taller than them and immediately know they’re a liar.
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 4 months ago:
Then there are the ones where the writer thinks they’re funny…
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 4 months ago:
Slice of life mostly has real names or spins on real names. Fantasy has fantasical names or ones the author thought sounded fantastical. Then lots of in-between.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 4 months ago:
You described eating meat as messing with your brain. Even if general effects are considered positive, it’s not exactly great and the crazy vegans (specifically vegans who are crazy, not calling all vegans crazy) would certainly sell it as messing with your brain chemistry.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 4 months ago:
Undercooked, not uncooked. The parasite is still active even in rare meat. It needs to be done to medium before it’s truly safe (grey all the way through and easily slips off the fork when inserted).
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 4 months ago:
Beyond sounding like absolute anti-carnivore hogwash or placebo, it sounds like a weirdly accelerated case of that parasite you can get from eating undercooked red meat.
- Comment on what is a word like yaoi or yuri, but for boy x girl? 4 months ago:
Using classic genre labels, would it not just be romance?
- Comment on Does more expensive phones have better reception? 4 months ago:
No. Price has almost very little to do with reception and more to do with the general finish of the product. It used to mean more features too but there’s a rather pronounced bell curve on that aspect these days. If you’ve got a specific device in mind, GSMArena should be able to give you all the information you need.
- Comment on How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth 4 months ago:
Something similar to the spray they use on animals after a surgery? It’s safe for consumption but it tastes god-awful to stop the animal licking the wound.
- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 4 months ago:
While you’re wearing essentially a balloon or a strip of carpet and nothing else
- Comment on What's the name of the type of man I'm attracted to? (pictured) 5 months ago:
A turd by any other name…
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 5 months ago:
Graphene? Meaning the OS where you have to have a specific range of devices that aren’t even very good for the sort of people who’d want an OS like that? I’d most likely be on Graphene already if it wasn’t for that annoying as hell limitation.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 5 months ago:
This is where I can only speak broadly since every country (and state/province) has it’s own laws but from a legal standpoint, minors need parental consent to do a great many things. Dating in the broad term such as a young couple going to see a movie with each other would likely be seen as an innocuous activity and not worth a court’s time. Where laws get involved are when it comes to physical intimacy and they can be loose or draconian. Just in the US alone, there are laws that dictate minors of the same age are able to do as they please, some have the “Romeo & Juliet law” otherwise known as the close-in-age law, and others deem physical intimacy between minors as strictly illegal meaning if 2 minors of the same age had sex, they’d both be committing sexual assault against a minor. To put the power of parental consent into perspective though, in the UK it was possible for a couple wherein one or more of the two were 16 or 17 were legally able to marry with parental consent. This was true until as recently as 2023 due to child abuse issues but that’s incredibly recent for such a thing.
