  I love these people because they are so adamant that working more will help them while every single study shows that people are way more productive when they have rest time. A 4-day work week would shoot his company’s productivity up and actually save money on things like electricity but he’s so far up his own ass that he cannot possibly understand how that could work.

  I do think that the commentor who said he must not have anything outside of work has a point. Like, who on earth is has such a shit life outside of work that they can brainwash themselves into believing that more work is a solution?

  Your friend is a complete idiot, an astounding failure of a human being and even as an emotionless machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motivational⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine absolutely does. I need to start taking that shit again, so tired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I knew she wouldn’t be the brains of any operation but I didn’t think I’d be siding with the cheating douchefuck so completely. Like, she’s really got those premium blinders on to think all that, damn. Unless he had said he’d leave it all but at that point I don’t believe either of them enough to make any judgement or assumption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was a time when everyone had common sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’llbe 100% honest, bud, but if you can’t find a service manual on the internet or simply ask at the dealership I probably wouldn’t trust you to do the work. They’re available, just try even a little. And boy if you trust what little information may or may not be in an owner’s manual…

  Besides, the only reason that info was in there was because the valves needed much more frequent adjusting. You really shouldn’t miss not needing to have that information so readily available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking pigeons⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well they don’t really care about nesting in the open, obviously, and the doormat is softer and replicates short lichen and/or grass. Soft is clearly better and it also means that the egg can’t roll away.

  Was that supposed to be gotcha or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking pigeons⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently theh normally would nest of rocky cliff edges and stuff so they just need enough material to stop the egg from rolling away. It still looks heaps silly, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You literally commented first.

  Looks like somebody doesn’t like the consequences of their actions. Poor baby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fixed it haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more that it’s kinda missing the point. Everything is something else if you try hard enough but in this case the intention behind it is to honour the mother instead of the mother and that’s still working fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “London”: Not too bad, works ok.

  “Climax”: …

  “Tallahassee”: Pretty frickin’ awesome as a nickname but not sure formally.

  “Syracuse”: I syr-acuse that of sounding dumb.

  But regardless, besides all the “Von” or “De” or whatever names I’m willing to bet that modified or old spelling last names based on places are totally a thing that we also just decided to stop doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you had a great christmas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The U.S. has to pretend that they don’t exist because it would cause them to face a lot of big issues otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives a piracy history lesson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re getting there! Just a little further, now.

  There certainly are some companies that seek to do good, or are run by good people. Arizona Green Tea is the current favourite but there are for sure others. The thing is though that there’re huge incentives to being greedy and awful, and a distinct lack of punishment for that behaviour, to the point where so fucking many of these companies are either evil or committing enough evil actions that it doesn’t matter at all the difference anymore.

  Also they weren’t saying that the argument is unique to Netflix but ok then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fear of hosting a party at your home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hosted a jam night where only one person besides my roommate and their partner showed up. We made the most of it anyway!

  There was a boardgame night years ago at one of those game pubs where only four of us showed up. Despite not being a group that would normally hangout we were all friends enough and had a great time. Instead of boardgames we got cheap food and then cake and hot chocolate.

  Every friend starts a stranger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning to this nice pig and only this nice pig.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The real amazing part: That oinky-boy was clearly being a bit of a bother(right on) and the cop didn’t just shoot it in the yard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How was trying to get a job different THEN vs NOW⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lucky, these days some filter deletes my resume before a human being even looks at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wait, I was dealing with a different person iver a similar, but distinct, issue. Carry on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t really matter, if they want to censor it that shouldn’t bother anyone except the people who’s a halfway well-adjusted member of society. It’s not some commentary on the death of free speech to opt to censor out a slur, chill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not at all what’s happening here. It’s completely unrelated to the story and the story wasn’t posted in order to draw attention it the word choice.

  You seem to have your own thing going on, you good?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public urged to get flu vaccine as hospitalisation rates rise steeply⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You guys pay for flu vaccines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If people weren’t so bad about seeing shitty things and then repeating them anyway then I’d probably agree with you more. It’s also not a freedom of speech thing since hatespeech(which includes slurs) is not protected in most places and it’s weird of you to bring it up at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least the latter is more of a self-label. The former is just nonsense for the sake of it, especially when “normie” already exists and is popular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon eats lunch alone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Not using slurs is woke and that’s bad” shut the hell up, loser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I could be convinced of that. I still want flay a couple of them, though. People like Elon just need to be fucking erased, honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Met a homeless guy once who had had his jaw broken over some change. Even he was able to go to the hospital to get fixed up. It didn’t solve his myriad other problems but at least even he could get that taken care of.

  Any system which would have turned him away should be burned to the ground and the people who built said system should have the flesh flayed from their bones, slowly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You still have to commit to an actual decision when the times come. Adjusting each cycle is what everyone should be doing, knowing that each person will likely stay where they’re at because why wouldn’t they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5x Evolutionary Winner⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But is the mantis shrimp just a one trick pony? What’s the breakdown on general feasibility versus specialization? Or is the mantis shrimp truly the secret weapon that crabs wish they were?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨back to the ocean we go⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Our inner ears used to be part of the more complex jaws of something before us, if I remember correctly. I think there’s an arrow on the image showing it. Real cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The **Most open** Operating System"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Calibri isn’t strong enough in it’s convictions to be Helvetica. It can’t even offer a fight against the hard utilitarianism of Arial. It’s rounded corners and varying thickness show up terribly on anything but the highest resolution screens, where it still isn’t good, and it makes me feel the same way that CRT monitors did when I put my hand up to them. You know the feeling, that crusty, fuzzy, buzzy feeling that you swear you could taste.

  A nasty font, it can absolutely go fuck itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn it YouTube!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use Gmail, and in fact my email isn’t attached to any big company. I know you couldn’t have known that but still.

  So now you want to shift all this content onto poorly funded public libraries? Do you have any idea how difficult all that would be? Do you have any idea how much content is on Youtube? And that’s not to mention how much bandwidth a person would need to be able to send out the content they’re hosting to tens of thousands of people at once.

  You’re living in a dreamland. Other options can start these things from scratch but Youtube is not about to make their system infinitely more complex and unreliable just for you and the small handful of other people who are high on their tiny corner of the internet. You’re asking me to think and you haven’t done the bare basics of it yourself.
