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) 1 week ago:
Check your local council estate.
- Comment on Can the Internet be an ethnicity? 3 weeks ago:
Not to mention determine which watch list you’d get put on.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 month ago:
Bet he learned to pronounce that with a hard H very quickly.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 month 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? 1 month 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] 1 month ago:
Ironically, that would be treason.
- Comment on What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 1500sqft condo? Sub $500 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 2 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? 2 months ago:
I don’t think this is what Einstein had in mind when he spoke of relativity.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yup. Armchair experts are just the best.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 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? 2 months ago:
What’s your next fishing attempt going to be? Calling me chicken?
- Comment on Is this working? 2 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? 2 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? 2 months ago:
“Fiiine, I shall keep you hooman”
- Comment on Has modern technology made espionage easier or more difficult? 2 months ago:
I know it’s made it harder for me to get into my own accounts.
- Comment on Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Precisely
- Comment on Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved? 2 months ago:
It’s not that they aren’t an example, but a bad example. Even as a fan of isekai and someone who doesn’t mind the trope, I know how much hate Gary Stus get. Mention Kirito to anyone other than an unapologetic SAO lover and watch them convulse.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 months ago:
Routine updates. Until recently hardware was getting better at such a rate they’d upgrade before software became an issue. The power increase curve has mostly plateau’d over the past several years so the incentive to upgrade is significantly lower so people are keeping their older hardware for longer and suddenly seeing the problems. That and the average user is now getting more aware of security updates.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 months ago:
Both of which have proven to be lies by the likes of the Sony Xperia phones which still do nearly everything right. I say nearly because they’re plagued with bad fingerprint sensors which is the only reason I had to stop using my 1 III.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 months ago:
And the same for the headphone jack. Getting rid of it just so they can force you to buy planned e-waste fast is less convenient and more expensive should be a crime.
- Comment on Like Trump says that the cartels have invaded Canada wouldn't they have to pass through the US, avoid checkpoint, border control on both sides and many other things? So Canada can only blame the US? 2 months ago:
Yes but that would take too much logic for Trump to realise what a bad claim it is.
- Comment on What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”? 2 months ago:
Chucklefuck.
- Comment on Does 'attempted murder' require a viable method? 2 months ago:
Personally I’d say so but I could also see it getting taken under conspiracy to commit murder.
- Comment on Why can’t people accept that cats are human? 2 months ago:
What on earth are you babbling? If the point you’re trying to make is that cats, like other animals, can show traits of humanity, sure, I’ll give you that. But if you’re trying to spew that a scientifically identified species is a completely different scientifically identified species… well then, I just might know of a bridge that’s become available for purchase in your area.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 3 months ago:
When the Hail Hydra comes out a little too early so they call it a speech impediment.
- Comment on For different game store, legally, what happens if they close? 3 months ago:
If no-one’s putting in some kind of legally-binding contract for you, assume it poofs. Whatever games you “own”, whatever platform they’re on, make a list. You might just have to go hunting for them on the high seas one day.
