I didn't know Game of Thrones was still big in Australia.
- Comment on [META] Community discussion regarding AI & clickbait 1 week ago:
I clicked your link purportedly to a picture of q woman with large boobs, and it just turned out to be Cameron Diaz. Since Diaz is approximately a B cup (US sizing), that was definitely clickbait.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 1 week ago:
This is a just a correction, but it seems fitting on a post about language and learning languages.
"Half" is the noun you are looking for. "Halve" sounds slightly different and means "to split in half."
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 1 week ago:
What a bizarre sub-thread.
OC says generations (plural) before had the same access as Gen Z. Presuming that to mean as kids, that's clearly not true.
Someone steps in to write that people on the border of Gen Z and the generation (singular) before it had similar access. Useful to learn, but not groundbreaking.
Commenter points out that that's not very different and gets insulted.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 1 week ago:
When young? No. Unless you count the Sears catalog.

I don't know about who is the champion. The virus eventually fails to multiply in the host, but it meanwhile spreads to others.
- Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 1 week ago:
It's for the first half. There's no objective evidence this approach works. The OP may also recover from colds quickly without the vitamin / protein intervention, may judge
symptoms differently, or may not accurately track results (e.g. dismiss cases where the opposite was true). - Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 1 week ago:
Good find. Key paragraph:
When measured objectively over the 42-day evaluation period, limb function improved in 12.1% and worsened in 8.6%, but did not change in most dogs. By contrast, caregivers (both owners and vets) reported improvements in lameness from the start, with the reported improvements increasing with time. The caregiver placebo effect appeared to be around 57% for owners and 40–45% for vets and was statistically significant at all assessment time points.
Objective measurements are one way to detect this effect. Another would be a true double-blind trial where neither owner nor vet knows which medicine was given.

We need to stop glorifying these fashists and their different cities "fash week" celebrations.

Thanks. Fixed it.
- Comment on Have there been any technological advances in boucey ball technology in the last decade or two? 3 weeks ago:
Please stop putting in comments about bouncy balls. OP made clear by typing it twice he wants to know about boucy balls.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 weeks ago:
You can make them affordable by screening for high income.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 weeks ago:
What if you think affordable housing should be government subsidized? Or as is the case in many places, below market priced units that the builder is required to include, with limits on how they are used (income qualifications and owner occupation).
Neither of those requires you not to rent to other people. It would be like saying I'm for mental health services being paid for by the government but running a psychiatric business.
- Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this? 4 weeks ago:
That's like 400 times around the track!
- Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this? 4 weeks ago:
I find for cross-country and track you really just end up back where you started. If you want to get somewhere, you have to run a 5k. If you really want to go far, marathons are where it's at.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal) 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 4 weeks ago:
The sign could be about missiles - rocks on the road kicked up by the trucks tires - rather than the truck spilling its load.
- Comment on Stephen Miller: Secretary Kennedy one of the world's foremost experts on public health. He is working hard to restore the credibility of the CDC as a scientific organization 4 weeks ago:
This is a tangent, but I'm curious how many people who uncritically supported Kennedy's environmental efforts are rethinking the accuracy of his claims based on what they know is wrong about his public health claims.
What's the difference between evil pharma pushing deadly vaccines and evil chemical companies polluting our environment? There are historically proven incidents of both (if we expand vaccine to medical treatments in general), but how many of the specific cases he made against companies were contrived bullshit pushed by cranks? Take fluoridation for a less controversial example among educated people.

This is a 2D image of a cup of hazelnuts. The number is just the ones you can see. The ones you can't see aren't part of the image.

I would take more time to sit with the diagnosis before doing anything rash. See what your actual progression is like.

She loves me. Or...She loves me not.
- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 5 weeks ago:
Those fees won't pay for the cost of registering all these copyrights. Currently the government doesn't need to get involved until there's a suit, and then they get court fees. Everybody registering their first 2 to 5 years of copyright would be a massive burden.
Also, at every 5 years you're only up to a few hundred bucks at 40 years. Definitely needs to be on the lower side.

Still better than sister-fucker.
- Comment on Do you agree with my unpopular opinion about height in fencing? 1 year ago:
This poster only posts about his belly being vulnerable to stabbing due to his being tall. Once it was a flippant remark a coworker made. This time it's because he is a fencer.
It seems to be his obsession and his posts are disingenuous at best.
