Ugh, another one?
- Comment on oopsie 1 week ago:
Kinda ironic considering how many people on here are completely unable to spot satire.
Although Facebook is definitely worse for the amount of idiotic comments being made.

You know you can just make a new account, right?

You both deserve to be mocked.

Oh boy, dude hit the wall running.
- Comment on this is controllable now: guy has moving robot messing with stuff in his house and blabbering TTS under internet control 1 week ago:
I think it’s stuck at the moment. The system works though.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 weeks ago:
These are PC gamers, their hobby revolves around computers.
It’s similar to how car enthusiasts might give you shit for driving a ten year old Camry, whereas most people won’t care.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 2 weeks ago:
Except you need to be over 18, and it’s easy to verify this if you’re paying with a credit card.
Besides, what teenager can’t figure out how to use a vpn?

The German green party being pro fossil fuels is just hilarious to me.
- Comment on 2025, still no flying cars! 2 weeks ago:
You would need a pilot’s licence for this, and a PPL is far more difficult to get than a driver’s license.

Going around buying all the burny and splodey stuff they could, is my guess.

They actually teach you about Jody in basic? I knew it was a running joke, but didn’t realise it was official.

I think the clip ends with her just giving up and driving away, from memory.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 3 weeks ago:
There are plenty of people who are jackasses to those around them, and ruthless in business.
Describing someone or something as evil really calls for something a bit more dramatic.
- Comment on Remember the iconic paintings of The Last Supper? This is what it would look like if it happened today 3 weeks ago:
OK Boomer.
- Comment on Any relations experts? 4 weeks ago:
This is so bizarre. So his GF decides he’s gay, because his room is tidy? No mention of sex life, so I’m going to assume there’s no issues there.
Such a weird assumption to make.

Lemmy loves to hate the guy, don’t they?
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 4 weeks ago:
It’s usually applied to a non state actor, not a government.
The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, for example, isn’t generally considered a terrorist attack.
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 4 weeks ago:
The definition of terrorism doesn’t say you need to terrify people at all.
Besides, there’s been a lot of acts that are generally agreed to be terrorist acts, that have targeted a very small group of people, such as a religious group, or even one specific individual. The IRA’s famous reply to Margaret Thatcher comes to mind.
It seems his goal was to terrify one small group of people, namely senior people in the healthcare industry, and I think that counts.
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 4 weeks ago:
Potentially, but I think that’s true of most terrorists.
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 4 weeks ago:
It’s pretty much always meant violence for an ideology or cause. And the political motivation is very much what makes the difference.
Words do have definitions.
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 4 weeks ago:
From what the manifesto found on him allegedly said, it sounds like his actions were politically motivated. And violence in pursuit of a political goal is kinda the definition of terrorism.
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 4 weeks ago:
I suggest you actually check the definition of terrorism, Capone wasn’t motivated by political ideals, he was motivated by good old fashioned greed.
- Comment on Well, I guess that settles it 4 weeks ago:
Those tend to be a personal grudge, not a political statement.
- Comment on How many more flatearthers? 4 weeks ago:
The fact you don’t know something doesn’t make you stupid, it just means nobody has ever taught you about it.
Carbon monoxide isn’t something people can just inherently know.
- Comment on Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking? 4 weeks ago:
People are getting hysterical about drones, most of which have been revealed to actually be manned aircraft.
- Comment on Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking? 4 weeks ago:
A bit more than a laptop involved, but that’s embarrassing to say the least.
- Comment on Pretty interesting when you really think about it. 4 weeks ago:
I’m not Christian, haven’t seen the show, and still think he’s a pompous ass.

the point is a lighter sentence
Didn’t work for the example above, did it?

This dude really is a pompous ass sometimes.
