• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the world is ruled by sociopaths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people like the Punisher comics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that you mention it, I do like my superheroes next to a themed jukebox!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Learn to be more like Liam Neeson.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who discovered/"invented" fire?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wang Fire. Just don’t ask where he got it from, Hotman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If government hackers can infiltrate big companies, why not hack normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they’re usually elected so it’s perfectly legal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because of My Cousin Vinny, I know ‘Ma’ to be very New Jersey but I suppose it could be southern too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I learn how to "photoshop" images without PhotoShop^TM and also on my iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can add that on Jerboa it displays properly in the text body but not the title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I learn how to "photoshop" images without PhotoShop^TM and also on my iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe that’s an attempt at formatting superscript.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨when is "cool" fine and when is it rude?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Then it’s context. If you’re going for the excited delivery, try throwing in a ! other it could be misinterpreted as uncaring or dismissive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Button fly's⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Once. By accident. Just grabbed a pair off a shelf that were labeled with my size and that was it. Hated them. So impractical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And taking that a step further, I believe it was Blackberry that was proliferating the free text messages thing at the time (so long as it was to another Blackberry) so that could even have led to not enough market room for third-parties like WhatsApp and Kik to dominate the way they did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And often acts like a bunch of 3-year-olds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Check your local council estate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can the Internet be an ethnicity?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention determine which watch list you’d get put on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should naming your children stupid names be illegal?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bet he learned to pronounce that with a hard H very quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should naming your children stupid names be illegal?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite having heard the name Siobhan (pronounced Sheh-vaugn), I never saw it written until many years later and in an unrelated circumstance so I assumed it was pronounced “Sigh-Oh-Ban”. Irish names are insanely confusing for anyone who isn’t Irish and I’ll eternally argue there’s no shame in getting one wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who can I ask or where can I find help in moving to a new country?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Things have changed a lot since those days. The recruiter part is still decently accurate but the hoops to jump through are far more plentiful and costly these days, if they’re even open in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically, that would be treason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 1500sqft condo? Sub $500⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shark is an American brand

  I don’t get this. Are we boycotting American products now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s put it this way, the market price for the Switch 2 is roughly the same converted price in the UK. Now, to my knowledge, the UK hasn’t also introduced these tariffs quietly so I can’t, in good conscience, blame ol’ Delusional Donald for this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they’re delusional enough to think if they cater to the audiences of other sites they’ll tempt that audience to scrape off to their site instead of the site that came up with the thing and do it better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get rid of Whatsapp?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Install something like GBWhatsapp. Whatsapp seems to do ban waves every now and again so there’s no guarantee on the time frame you’ll get banned (it took about 4 years for them to catch up with me) but it’ll more than likely happen eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think this is what Einstein had in mind when he spoke of relativity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Armchair experts are just the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People with far too much time on their hands, a desire to label everything and a tendency toward negativity. My personal gripe lately is weaponised psychoanalysis terms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this working?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s your next fishing attempt going to be? Calling me chicken?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this working?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would I do such a thing when you’ve done a thorough job of proving you’re the sort of person none of us want in there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this working?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not true, they’re just usually private servers specifically to keep the annoying children out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Fiiine, I shall keep you hooman”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has modern technology made espionage easier or more difficult?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s made it harder for me to get into my own accounts.
