- Comment on Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?” 2 weeks ago:
The last strong left wing politician America had was Huey Long, he was assassinated.
In America, anyone who is left wing, actually willing to do what is necessary to effect change, and who gets vaguely close to power, either has their reputation assassinated or is assassinated more literally.
- Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal? 2 weeks ago:
The UK has www.legislation.gov.uk
It only covers statute law, not common law, but most things are codified by statute today.

- Comment on Roundup of Roundup 3 weeks ago:
That’s why I used scare quotes
The problem is, how it’s published and funded is a huge part of the institutions surrounding science, to the point that they’ve become plesionyms.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the info, I didn’t realise they had become quite so dire.
- Comment on Roundup of Roundup 3 weeks ago:
Then people wonder why people don’t trust “science”
Everyone responsible for this should be in jail
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 weeks ago:
Russia and China being allies is a given. Iran and the DPRK will be on their side too.
Israel, the USA, Japan, and parts of Europe will no doubt be on the opposite side, with the more sensible parts of Europe staying out of it.
India I have no idea, they’re nominally a USA ally, but I could also see them trying to stay neutral.
China world no doubt take the opportunity to reclaim the island of Taiwan.
I imagine a lot of Arab states would try to remain neutral at first, but Israel would probably take the opportunity to invade the rest of Syria, at which point some may be dragging into the conflict.
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 3 weeks ago:
Theoretically a constitutional amendment could be passed. That would require 3/4 of states to ratify it.
- Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep? 4 weeks ago:
If you’re on an instance that is widely defederated
Or one that widely defederates.
I believe mander is the only instance that has a policy of only defederating illegal content.
In contrast .world has a huge de-federation list.
- Comment on ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack? 4 weeks ago:
The same reason people will logically understand that crack is bad for them but crave it like crack

The ad for VPNs at the bottom is perfect lol.
Also it’s kind of ofcom to include a list of porn sites in their press release.

- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 1 month ago:
To really have influence we’d have to crowdfund an island where we can film politicians molesting children.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
They ruled the planet for 150 million years and didn’t ruin the environment once ?
That’s what the octopodes want you to think.
- Comment on Temu: UK artist's anger at finding work on site without permission 2 months ago:
Temu sell it for just over the cost of production, while the artist sells it with a high mark up, there’s a difference in affordability.

- Comment on Health Secretary Kennedy says there's 'not sufficient' proof to show Tylenol causes autism 2 months ago:
Pretty much.
But saying anything “definitely” in medicine is difficult, especially when it comes to the brain. (Which is why medicine is full of “I don’t want to get sued speak”)

- Comment on Health Secretary Kennedy says there's 'not sufficient' proof to show Tylenol causes autism 2 months ago:
“The causative association . . . between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive,” Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.
Was what he actually said, the headline is click bait.

Thanks for being the first person to actually explain that rather than just downvoting.
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 2 months ago:
It’s basic SEO slop logic applied to video.
All the popular topics are already crowded, so you shotgun very specific search terms.
For instance, if you have a web shop selling fish equipment, “how to keep fish” is probably extremely crowded, so you would target a bunch of specific search terms like “how to teach crabs to read classical Latin”
