Is it frozen? No? Why should it be a parfait then? Just because something looks vaguely like something else, it's not that thing. Gravy can look like chocolate sauce, so can I call my meat "pork au chocolat" then?"

But this isn't "making a treat savory", this is "put things you'd normally eat as a regular dish, put them into a plastic cup and pretend it's revolutionary".

Or — and hear me out here — you could put all those things on a plate and eat them like a person.
- Comment on Every day we stray further from God's light 12 hours ago:
none of the above. It's frozen.
- Comment on That's his email 1 day ago:
Technically, you are correct. Which is the best kind of correct. Just for shits and giggles, I tried to create such an address on my own self-hosted mail server. It wouldn't let me do it, and didn't know what to do with the quotation marks at all. So there's that. Damn you, reality!

Every pair of tits reduces the amount of men willing to rise up. It's genetic engineering for sexual warfare.

Allowing spaces and possibly special characters in a field where no valid input requires them? That's a fucking 50dkp minus! And a SQL injection waiting to happen. But more importantly: 50dkp minus.

Technically correct.
- Comment on Microsoft announces the Proteus Controller, a gamepad for Xbox gamers with disabilities 2 days ago:
This thing looks cool even without a disability, TBH. I can't judge its usefulness for disabled people, of course, but I hope it'll be the tool they need to mitigate the issues life has cursed them with, at least for a little while during game sessions.

I wouldn't go that far.

That's what the "I" at the beginning stands for. You guillotine yourself as much as you want.

I like my dick thoroughly unguillotined, thank you very much

Why exactly are we giving Nazis the power to poison language, emojis, what have you for the rest of us again?
I think we should do the opposite. As soon as some symbol becomes a dog whistle, we should all rush to use it for it's original meaning as much as possible, thus preventing the dog from hearing the whistle where it's supposed to be used as such.

Or be sucked into a jet turbine. Or run over by a lawnmower, or impaled by a combine harvester. What are you getting at?
- Comment on Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut no longer available on Steam in almost 180 countries due to PSN requirement 6 days ago:
This whole psn thing screams upper management.
Like, the whole company did stuff the way it would work best, everything was fine, until some assistant bloke somewhere answered a question from some super important walking suir honestly without thinking too much of it. Big mistake.
That upper management guy then noticed that what the company was doing didn't "match their strategy paper for the current fiscal year (it did) and was presented to them differently (it wasn't)". He then had his staff fly into action in a wild outlook-driven frenzy, not listening to any counter by anyone, because "Mr. UpperManagemenGuy has instructed, so..."
In a blind effort to not draw the ire of Management, departments started bending and breaking stuff left and right so it would fit into managements fever dream of the "integrated customer". A customer, who bought each and every PlayStation thing because mighty management forced an account onto them. Because that's what's really important to people.
Thats usually what happens in corporations, when we see this weird hotchpotch of almost panicked ad-hoc decisions and revisions on what was already decided and working.

So that's why it's called Frozen!
- Comment on Choose your difficulty 1 week ago:
First of all: haha, funny, your nickname is in the OP
Secondly: how are your links you referred us to showing that the joke made is eurocentric and racist? What's real GDP growth (that's what the map you linked showed) got to do with anything? Why is the corruption perception index any indication of how hard life is gonna be if you are born in a certain place? It doesn't show how much corruption there is or the effects of said corruption, just how corrupt things are perceived as.
And regarding the happiness index.... Have you looked at the page? It lists almost exclusively countries within Europe, so that would support the joke, would it not?

He should pull himself up by his bootstraps and get his Alpha Planet grindset on. No one can be a proper planet with this Sigma Planet mindset
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
No, im not saying you shouldn't care about animals or that the matter of suffering animals is a trivial one because other things. That would be whataboutism. I'm saying that no one can care about all the suffering in the world at once. So you can't blame people if they care about a suffering that's not top priority to you and vice versa.
I used the other things I listed as examples to demonstrate that a vegan might not care as much about other things that are bad as well. Which is fine. As I said: the only people we should really annoy are those who are doing nothing at all to better the pain and suffering in this world.

Where's the shirt from that you are wearing? Who built the device you are using to post here?
Where did the aluminum that's used in your bike come from? Who dug it up?
Why aren't you speaking for those people as well? Are you fine with having those clothes and the neat devices? If so,what makes those workers less worthy of "speaking up" than say dairy cows?
Thing is: there is so much abuse and exploitation going around on this world, one person cannot go against all of it, sadly. Everyone will have a different focus which sort of abuse they go against. Be it child abuse, worker exploitation, what have you.
You can blame people for not trying to better the world at all, but reserving the right to determine which wrong deserves the most attention and judging people for not following you is arrogant.

Can we just fir half a second point out that the original comment was that the use of the real Pi (3.14...) is a great opportunity to teach pupils how to use a calculator for numbers like Pi.
- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
Sadly, no. Paper towels and toilet paper are evil. Different sizes rolls with different amounts of sheets with different layers with different prices.
- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
Erm... How the frick do you think our price tags look like?

- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
Every offer lists how much per kg that offer is. So I do not need any calculations to see which offer is cheaper at all. Why would the price per kilo become useless of I only buy half a Kilo?
- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
I don't need to, there's a legal requirement to print prices per liter or kg on every price tag here.
- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
Oh don't you try to sell me on the "you won't always have a calculator in your pocket" thing. I have fucking Excel in my pocket.
- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
Or have them learn how to use a calculator at the same time.

Everybody said that soldering 5v stuff onto mains voltage could not be a wholesome experience. Apparently, they didn't tell Mehdi because he just went out and made it one.
