• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Obama wing of the Democratic Party is declaring “war” on progressives. Why don’t they ever bring this energy against Trump? Why do they hate working class people even more?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you probably voted for Trump at least once.

  or at the least, not against at least once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you too young to remember these?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “created” and “in mainstream use” are two different things… composite video has been around for a very long time, but composite video on consumer electronics really only started to get popular maybe starting in the late-80’s. I worked at a Radio Shack in the early 00’s and was still explaining to people how to use it because their old VCR only had coax and they used it on channel 3 or 4. The fact that “just match the colours” was so confusing to these people was … well… yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  120.5/100 == 1.205, it’s the exact same number expressed differently. However, 1.205 implies that everyone has at least one firearm, which is not true. 120.5/100 implies that if you go to 100 random people and count all their guns together, you’ll end up around 120 guns on average.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird from a cultural perspective where any sort of non-medical interference with a corpse is frowned upon, so we’re trained from a very young age to find any of that stuff icky/morbid. Other cultures may not have that same aversion.

  Kinda in the same vein as we in North America have a very conservative opinion on being naked in public where other cultures couldn’t care less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So then if I consent to someone fucking my corpse after I’m gone, it becomes morally OK for them to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"it only takes one slow walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that you're a nice person."⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same people that come to a dead stop in an entryway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The store that sells them is not dumb enough to use them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It takes me a fraction of the time to sweep/vacuum/mop the floor compared to my robot, but the difference is the robot takes a fraction of my time since I can start it and let it run with the odd bit of maintenance and sometimes rescuing it when it gets trapped or sucked up something it shouldn’t.

  It’s not a panacea, I still have to ensure that the area is fully clean except for the sweeping and mopping portion. However, as long as I keep up on that part, I can let the robot run overnight and have clean floors in the morning.

  “best friends who slept in the same bed probably because it was cheaper to have only one bed”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saving (2)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s been the case for about as long as corporations have existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is evil and stupid, someone worse would be evil and smart, and there’s plenty of those around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Before the revolution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are large areas of the US where simply taking a bus is impossible without also having to drive a long distance to the nearest station. There’s also the fact that it’s a pretty sizable country, so someone in SoCal or thereabouts is looking at a multi-day trip if they’re not flying, which then adds the cost of hotels, cabs to/from the hotel if the stop has no transit nearby, etc.

  When the studio stops hosting the game to download, the license key is worthless.

  That was one of my favourite non-serious subreddits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[politics] racist rammers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trucks in general, the ridiculous shit people have said to me because they see me getting in/out of my truck, and their face when I tell them off is something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the amount of hate a certain purple-coloured-username person gets around here, this statement is quite accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Engine auto-off⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, I just anticipate when traffic will start moving and let off the brake enough that it starts but doesn’t roll a couple seconds before I think I’ll need to go

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Title⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Something about someone the size of a fridge being able to outrun most amateur athletes can be a little unsettling for sure.

  Every bunker will be built by people who won’t be invited to live in it. The locations of all exits, vents, water supplies, etc. won’t stay secret for very long.

  That’s as far away from a gas station it can get before it has to turn anround and go back to fill up again

  There’s still combustion byproducts in vape, just less

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yup⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Smoking also produces a host of other chemicals, and like tobacco, plenty of harmful ones. It may not be a cannabinoid issue, rather a reaction with some combustion byproduct.

  I’m not a doctor, so feel free to disregard any of that :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its a circus and we're the clowns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yep, all of my “career” jobs have been gotten through referral or direct recruitment from my network of former co-workers. All of my BS application/interview experiences have been for the sort of job that just needs a warm body in the seat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Truck is Stupid Big⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more likely that a company will get a van or cube/box truck (think U-haul), that has all the equipment and stuff, and the rest of the workers just take their own transportation to the job site. Virtually any time I’ve seen a company-owned pickup that wasn’t kitted out for a task, it was for the boss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Truck is Stupid Big⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like that GM brought back the Avalanche’s midgate for their electric Silverado, but I wish that was available on more trucks. Default configuration is a short-bed family hauler, but you drop the midgate and it becomes a 2-seater with an 8’ bed.
