- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 1 day ago:
Very true. I realise I should have picked my wording better in my original post that was meant to be little more than a quick summary. When I said ‘feminist side’ I did not wish to refer to all feminists but specifically the new generation type otherwise known as the ‘feminazi’ or ‘those loud unempathetic bitches you see on Tiktok’.

I can’t say I’ve encountered that. I don’t doubt there are reasonable feminists out there but the ones I’ve encountered have been the “all men are trash” type.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 2 days ago:
From the feminist side, there’s a lack of empathy towards men because “they did it to themselves” and from most other camps it’s “men are supposed to be tough, stop being a pussy”.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 2 days ago:
Also a good point.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 2 days ago:
Precisely this. The more people come here, the more of the judgemental shitheads are going to come too. I’ve encountered a few on here already but nothing like back there.
- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 3 weeks ago:
Because the world is ruled by sociopaths.

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

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

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

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? 1 month ago:
I can add that on Jerboa it displays properly in the text body but not the title.

I believe that’s an attempt at formatting superscript.
- Comment on when is "cool" fine and when is it rude? 2 months 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.

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

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 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.

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

Bet he learned to pronounce that with a hard H very quickly.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 4 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? 4 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.

Ironically, that would be treason.

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? 4 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? 4 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? 4 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.

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

Yup. Armchair experts are just the best.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 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.
