- Comment on [Physics Girl's] first science video in 3 years! 3 days ago:
You can check some of the last videos where they show her at the worst, living in the dark and in bed because sunlight and walking was too much. This last lasted a couple years…

Someone could make a lot of money stealing a baby
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
You’re mom didn’t tell you the truth, plain and simple. Whether she knows the truth, that’s another story. You can’t re-absorb a whole baby, with bones and all that.
- Comment on The HOA isn't going to be happy about the colour, though. 2 weeks ago:
Child, this is Tennis were talking about. It’s a rich people game. There’s no time to worry about trivialities like protection of the environment.

And it’s bullshit, because so what if the ball is a bit less bouncy? It’s less bouncy to your opponent too.
- Comment on Atmospheric Slapping Tournament 2 weeks ago:
So trees have evolved truck-sensing organs in the span of mere decades? Unbelievable!
- Comment on The HOA isn't going to be happy about the colour, though. 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t know this until recently, but tennis balls wear out quite fast. Not structurally, not the felt, but the air inside escapes with the extreme pressure they endure. And soon they don’t bounce so well.
If only sports balls had a way to refill the air…

That’s exactly my first thought. Whenever I see upcycled things that will just break down into microplastics in nature, I wince.

What, no! 🤦 I wanna see titts!
- Comment on Why do I look like shit some days? 2 weeks ago:
When you look in the mirror, you see yourself through a mood filter. If you are feeling happy and optimistic, you will see a nicer looking reflection.
Besides, small things can effectively change how you look in subtle ways. Are the clothes a bit more wrinkly or need adjustment? Do you need a haircut or shave? Did you sleep well and are you drinking enough water? Also, your body posture is different.
My ex has mood swings related to their body image. One day they thought they looked nice and fit, the other day they looked fat and ugly. To me nothing changed, except that on the bad days, they had bad posture in front of the mirror. Unconsciously, they were self sabotaging themselves.
- Comment on Is there any good free tutorials/courses that cover setup and administration of websites and web apps? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah? That’s why OP posted it here, there are no stupid questions here.

You don’t own the radio waves. The government will come after you if you run unlicensed antennas.

Highly educated people can be addicted to gambling tactics too
- Comment on Families in New York City demonstrated against a proposal to allow cars in a local park. A politician showed up in a car to mock them 3 weeks ago:
I’m actually a bit confused. That looks like the road doesn’t actually cross the park, but is adjacent to it?
- Comment on Families in New York City demonstrated against a proposal to allow cars in a local park. A politician showed up in a car to mock them 3 weeks ago:
I remember once in my home country in Europe I was with friends in the woods with our bikes hacking fun going up and down the small hills. Not mountain bikes, just normal bicycles but the trails were solid enough. Suddenly about 30 Jeeps skow up and start going around the place, absolutely trampling the terrain and making it impossible to bike or even walk around. Must have been a meetup of diesel brains. We tried to argue with them that they destroyed the whole place, but they basically argued it was their right.
Fuck. Cars.
- Comment on Everyone Hates Windows Right Now 4 weeks ago:
Well, yeah, because Linux is not the status quo. If you hate Windows you need to change and people hate change. If you hate Linux, you just go on living you (ignorant) life.
- Comment on Everyone Hates Windows Right Now 4 weeks ago:
And people have hated Linux for almost as long. I believe in actions not in people complaining online. Linux is an option for a lot of people but they don’t want change, they want to complain. And Microsoft profits of that inaction.
- Comment on Is what Elijah saying here true for all heroes and villains across the board? Or is it how it used to be? What would be equivalent today? 4 weeks ago:
Media today is way more subtle than that, in part because culturally we don’t need to be told so explicitly anymore. It’s similar to how villains used to, and sometimes still do, have a strong gay accent, because being queer coded was the same as being evil coded. That’s the same principle with the weird body proportions vs the perfect white American jaw.
- Comment on Do women fart when they pee too? 4 weeks ago:
I want to understand this question. Is the implication that men don’t pee and poop/fart, or that you think women would somehow be different than men in this department? Do you only exclusively pee standing?

I think that bird is a kiwi
- Comment on I still haven't figured out how to do this 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I wrote my thesis in it. As a programmer it made total sense to me.
- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 5 weeks ago:
Sweat means your body is trying to cool down, not that your heart is pumping.
- Comment on (1949) Grandma's Kitchen Organization Hacks [9:53] 5 weeks ago:
Some features of this kitchen clearly were from an era when a lot of things were hand made at home, but others would be really handy today. Storage under the upper cupboards for instance.
- Comment on How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ? 1 month ago:
Automotive industry uses lots of robots. There’s little manual work in the production of cars nowadays.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if your were a kid and your parents worked for a government intelligence agency, how would you keep secrets / have privacy from your parents? 1 month ago:
Do you assume secret services are constantly spying on their kids?
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 1 month ago:
Email was born in a service vacuum. The reason it still exists today is the same reason nothing else can become as ubiquitous as email.
- Comment on How do you build revolutionary optimism in these dark times? 1 month ago:
What kind of software is getting better? Most commercial software has steadily gotten worse, moving to subscription models, taking more risks with updates and breaking things. I remember clearly when Github got bought by Microsoft. Since then, outages became a common occurance whereas before they were rare.
Open source software is arguably getting better and better, but less people are willing to do it for free while big tech reaps their free labour for profit with no return.

For a while I stayed watching a lot of shorts even though I don’t like them much. It’s just so easy to get sucked in… But some weeks ago I found NouTube which is basically a Web version that blocks ads and sorts. It’s like the good old days. YouTube suddenly feels so interesting again. Shorts have cannibalized long format videos.
