Air holes on the toe, as well as the seam are totally different

Other than the fact it’s white with a brown sole, this looks nothing like the shoe in the photo…
- Comment on Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says criminal “geoengineering and weather modification activities" could have played a role in recent Texas floods 1 week ago:
Isn’t the constant ignorance of global warming and tunnelling money into fossil fuels basically “weather modification”?
- Comment on Businessman Josh Kraft, son of Billionaire Robert Kraft, is running for Boston Mayor. He is accusing the mayor of worsening traffic by building bike lanes 2 weeks ago:
Wtf, has this idiot forgotten about what it’s like getting stuck behind a cyclist on the road?! Absolute brain-rot.
- Comment on 98 degrees upstairs, ac stopped working at 8am. 4 weeks ago:
If that was true, then we wouldn’t see people bitching about the cold while I’m out in a t-shirt and jeans in 50°F weather. Seems fucking stupid to base a measurement system on something so subjective.

Gross. So they’ve swiss cheesed themselves for Microsoft too…

Trying to sign into work stuff will throw MCAS unless I’m in Edge or Chrome.
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 5 weeks ago:
They love to take credit for WWII while completely ignoring the part Canada played

Edge has been Chromium based for a while now. Hell, a lot of the 365 stuff will only work in Edge or Chrome.
It’s wild how corporations are so openly cool with paying license fees to give everything away to Microsoft.
I would have told them to pound sand as soon as they tried to push the 365 and Azure shit if I was a business.
- Comment on Why is U2 considered "grunge?" 5 weeks ago:
Prob U2.
“Look at us kids, were cool grunge music just like that Nirvana band on the shirt you’re wearing!”

The stupidity with phones gets even worse when you consider the hardware in them and how little of it people really use… Androids are literally pocket-sized laptops.
Install Tasker and you’ve got a pretty serious workhorse.
Install Termux and it’s next level. Especially if you use proot to install a full Linux environment.

I don’t even think they care about image. That was early-game for them. Now they’ve scooped so much data on people that they could probably close Facebook and still manage to track people based on metadata and shadow profiles.

I honestly don’t even think advertisers give a shit anymore. If people keep buying what they’re pushing, all they see is dollar signs. If anything, the whole “advertiser doesn’t like this” thing is just some sort of scapegoat.
Like, look at YouTube - you’re telling me that somehow the company pushing some products that nobody gives a fuck about is horribly offended because a guy in a video said “Shitfuck McPussyCock” three seconds in; but they have no issue with the hatred, misinformation spreading, and general stupidity of people like Tim Poole, Ben Shapiro, Crowder, and that other dipshit with the beard and glasses (whose name I have actually thankfully forgotten)?

Instagram is also owned by Meta… so I’m not sure why there’s any surprise there.
Next up, WhatsApp will probably require a full contact sync or something lol.

There’s no way they want to combat bots. You report bot content and they’re like “nah, this doesn’t go against our community guidelines” all the fucking time.
- Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 2 months ago:
I agree with him on a lot of the tech stuff, but there’s some subtle hints of shit that I can’t consciously place that really bother me.
I really started to notice it when he was looking for a new location - the way that he talked to and about some people and things in those videos bothered me. Likewise, the way he moved to a red state because it meant he could pay less in taxes and shit. There’s something more but I can’t put my finger on it.

Why are the notable ones all European/Oceanic?
Also hilarious that the only American one is also the only one that mentions sewage spilling out because of it.
I thought America was #1. Up your game, USA. Get those fatburgs going!
- Comment on How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 2 months ago:
Angles have not been proven to exist, so I guess 0 and ∞.
If you can find proof of angels existing, then we would need to have more specifics:
- how big are the angels?
- what type of pin are you curious about? A fabric pin, for example, is much thinner than a pushpin.
- what style of dance might they be doing? A line dance would require significantly more space than, say, the Macarena.
We’d also need to find out if angels are solids, or if they could pass through eachother as that could reduce the space they need and alter the answer significantly.
Not sure what point you’re trying to make - people come from all walks of life… A stupid question to me may not be a stupid question to everyone else.
Would you know how to survive like a Sentinelese?
Could you tell me how to export a list of packages I have installed on my computer using pacman and yay so I can batch install them after wiping my computer?
Could you tell me the typical directory where I could find the word.dot file for any user?
Would you know why you can’t mix DOT2 and DOT3 but you can mix DOT3 and DOT4?

What is “women around me, described using math terms only”?

How is that a stupid question though? Does the average person know that a Klein Bottle is a surface with zero volume?
Maybe they were wondering if it was no ship will ever fit or every ship ever made is would be in it at the same time?

Succinctly it means “I’m going to get rid of you by restricting your ability to get near me, whether by your own will, or physical assault/death.”
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 2 months ago:
Banks are the fucking worst for this. I assume it’s because they’re built on some 500 year old CICS mainframe.
- Comment on If my county passes a new tax for um lets say a new jail. They staff it and build it and everything with the tax money. How come it seems the tax is there forever? Why not get rid of it when built? 2 months ago:
Wouldn’t they need to continue to collect taxes in order to fund maintenance and staff wages?

You know, you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
I respect your technical smartass response to my technical smartass check attempt.

I find way too many people talking about “common sense” as if that was even a thing. It frustrates me to no end.

I was actually surprised to see some of it baked into Plasma - the jello windows, the desktop cube, the “explode the window when I close it” and a few other things.
