Was Magic Mike just a flash in the pan?
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted the seemingly made-up article 3 days ago:
“Almost overnight, the school fees went up from £55,000 per year to £70,000. The increase was shocking, but not entirely unexpected,” Moy says. “Ultimately, I believe, the education provided and the sacrifices we will have to make are worth it.”
So they readily admit it’s a fair price, but still felt the need to complain to the media?

I hope you can understand how extenuating circumstances such as yours aren’t the norm.

An indoor cat wouldn’t stand a chance. The lack of experience is an absolutely enormous barrier to overcome, and indoor cats really struggle a lot if they ever get lost outside.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." 1 week ago:
I feel like this is going to be highly variable depending on individual personalities, industries, and even specific employers.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 week ago:
Dude. Power seekers have been doing this shit since ancient times, and you’re getting your panties in a twist about people who fight back against them?
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 week ago:
Here is a great piece someone put together a while ago which goes through many of the techniques bad actors use.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 4 weeks ago:
I mean, all I can say is that 5 years ago we were trying to get people to buy local because of China, and now Trump has managed to get all the people who didn’t listen back then to become really hardcore about buying local now, thanks to his tariffs.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 5 weeks ago:
I vaguely remember reading that some dude created 8chan because he thought 4chan was too heavily moderated or smth, which considering the little I saw while perusing 4chan ages ago, makes me wonder the depths to which 8chan can go.
You’d be surprised how uptight people can be about certain things, even while being extremely liberal with others.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 5 weeks ago:
4chan in the past years was mostly known as a FBI honeypot.

- Comment on American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car' 1 month ago:
Oh great. Nothing is safe from the Trans Am agenda.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 1 month ago:
Because ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ are concepts used to split the voting population into two roughly equal groups which can be placed against each other to balance the other out. Where the divide needs to be made in order to achieve two roughly equally sized groups is different for each population.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 month ago:
Because irrational hatred is so ubiquitous that it goes entirely unquestioned (and even defended as you’re likely to see in response to this post), almost nobody seems to be aware that the scientific method was actually developed by the Catholic church as the religiously approved way to explore the mysteries of our world. The view that the religion is rigid and exclusionary just plain isn’t supported by reality. You can certainly find bad examples and pretend you’ve “proved” something, but there are far, far more good people who aren’t brain dead zealots.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 month ago:
I think someone calculated the time it would take to read every single one you’re expected to agree with in normal every day life, and it worked out to needing 76 work days to read everything you “agree” to in a typical year.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 1 month ago:
I was taught in college to only include a single question in one email unless you can’t get around it, because many people will only see the first one.
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 1 month ago:
It’s totally immature.
If that’s something you think you’ll have fun doing, I fully recommend it!
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 1 month ago:
Am I taking crazy pills? The charts I’m looking at are still showing the markets substantially above where they were 10 years ago.

Could he have any interest in taking on other roles, like management? If he’s doing great in school, and has a direct connection to learning the ins and the outs of the industry through you, he could have a significant leg up.
- Comment on What art style you want to reproduce? 1 month ago:
I’m not certain if there’s actually a name for it, but I’m rather partial to this style I see all over the place in which a human artist uses physical media to create something which evokes emotions in the audience.

Ask yourself what you think your country would look like if the Internet was hyper fixated on every single bad example anyone could find within your borders.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 2 months ago:
How does followers of a religion equal to respect
Christianity isn’t like Islam where you’re disowned (and often murdered) for the crime of leaving. People who were born into a Christian family but don’t respect the religion can simply choose not to follow it anymore (with the notable exception of a few cults, but they hardly make up the whole). And once again, even many non-believers still have respect for the message of love and peace which Jesus championed.
- Comment on We Shouldn’t Have to Work This Hard 2 months ago:
I’d be working much harder if it wasn’t illegal to do the things I actually want to do with my life, like building my own shelters.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 2 months ago:
We’re talking about how many people respect the Bible, not whether or not it’s legitimate.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 2 months ago:
I’m sorry, but social media does not give you an accurate picture of the real world.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 2 months ago:
It is by more people than it isn’t. By a lot.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 2 months ago:
Mobs in the bible weren’t exactly seen in a positive light.
- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 2 months ago:
… I think you’re confusing the false god “Forethought” with the real God from gnostic writings.
- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 2 months ago:
If your understanding of Christianity is based upon how well mainstream Christianity understands it, then you don’t actually understand it, only the warped form that it takes after thousands of years of infighting and political manoeuvring. For example, did you know that at one point it was actually taboo to depict Christ as a human?
- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 2 months ago:
Christianity is virtually always represented by those who either don’t understand it, or are deliberately slandering it.
