  Hard to say. Her public attitude towards a lot of issues is fantastic but she comes from money. She wouldn’t be able to pursue her personal interests and campaigns without the wealth she has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an engineer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t go to any of mine outside of high school because I was a kid and my parents could force me on that one. By the time I finished grad school I really felt like I was just another person in an increasingly growing rat race. It’s not even that I haven’t accomplished anything so much as I haven’t accomplished anything particularly unique that sets me apart and grants me intellectual value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intruder⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean good but is no one worried about the kid not having any issues with taking someone’s life? Maybe I’m missing out on some extra pieces of info, but it is a bit concerning even if it is an intruder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahahah, it's too late Batman, I've already released an uncountable amount of PFAS into Gotham's water supply!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In how many universes has Lex been president? I remember as a kid there was one where he won the presidency and had the flash executed. Superman responds by going full authoritarian and executing him in return.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Essentially just be a renaissance man. It’s much easier to do when you’re younger. I could’ve ticked off over half the list 10 years ago, but now it’s just reading, cooking and writing. I don’t have the time or energy for much outside of work these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Curves⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy. Anywhere the white cells touch will form a curve if you’re not looking at them directly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh Shit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not surprising. Israel had the tech to bug everyone’s phones.

  The Israeli NSO group which is a day 1 hacks group developed the Pegasus spyware and found lots of creative ways to get it on peoples phones. They also solid it later on to just about anyone who was willing to pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got caught⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbf it’s rare to see normal people posting on social media in 2024, at least everyone I see is fucked up in some way.

  This might be a bold assumption on my part but I would say most normal people do not have the energy for the craziness that occurs on a lot of socials now.

  You want to engage and be a part of the community but it’s just far too exhausting in many cases. Easier to just browse most of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Average game chat censorship⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t think that this was necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube now vs then⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Guessing by kids we’re talking about young children and not teenagers because old YouTube was practically made for teenagers. The more popular layouts people used back then often had the same aesthetic as myspace pages. There was more gaming content on the site than anything else, followed by viral vids (=3).

  There’s a lot to dislike about the modern structure of the platform but as a grown adult I appreciate that there’s a much larger variety of content now which was essentially what the shift in design was supposed to achieve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When shitposting becomes constiposting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke,

  Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.

  The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's gf is unfulfilled⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  4 years and one canceled marriage 3 months prior. 5 if you count the fact that I took her back twice before realizing she was always going to be like that.

  I feel you even if I wouldn’t say I’m entirely happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crystals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point people can believe in whatever they want as long as it doesn’t harm anyone else. Someone believing in a bunch of crystals and burning their money on them is a lot less harmless than other beliefs that I won’t mention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hail our true supreme leader⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. This really is just asking to pour gasoline on the fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate how true this is.

  What’s worse is that many of the people who didn’t fall into that trap have been waiting to responsibly have children later, which I also don’t want. Finding anyone down here that is interested in being child free down here is a challenge and finding someone who doesn’t expect to have a busy life to make up for it is even more difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a shitposting meme. The poster has this pinned on their twitter: Image

  That said… I have heard horror stories about poor theater staff finding cucumbers after the 50 shades premiere. Some of it was just people memeing and trying to prank but I’m not entirely sure about all of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this one goes out to the urban planning nerds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like a lot of things in life. It depends and it can be complicated.

  Upfront costs for infrastructure besides the panels themselves is expensive and in places where electricity is already cheap companies won’t bother.

  You also have to conduct tests to ensure that the grid and transformers can handle more power, and if they can’t then you have more infrastructure that needs upgrades.

  I’m not saying we shouldn’t do this. We really need to in the long run but it isn’t something we can simply snap our fingers and do instantly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i'm on a boat!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Forgot about that banger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who here likes Ratatouille?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Guessing this person made some sort of mistake.

  A lot of people on Fetlife for example know to vet their partners thoroughly so they don’t end up with a serial killer and to be careful with the information trail they leave on there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History is written by the victors⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you look past the cruelties committed, it’s still disappointing.

  I’ve read a variety of books on various wars and those that we were involved in were mostly disappointing in regards to tactical decisions. Everything after the revolution either feels like a fluke or just simply feels as if we brute forced our way through with resources until the post WWII era where various campaigns failed due to guerilla warfare. I’m oversimplifying but especially early on in its life the country’s militia was a bit unimpressive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ironing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like ironing my clothes though and if you show up to a formal family event with a shirt that looks like you rolled around in it, then I will offer to iron for you before the next time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has nerdy hobbies⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing my luck they would both turn on me if I was in that situation.

  I do appreciate how there’s more women in online games now though. FFXIV has a lot of women, and it’s great because I don’t have to be that guy anymore and deal with identity politics if someone acts out. There will probably be another woman in the group who is equally annoyed by whatever bad behavior is going on and call it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has nerdy hobbies⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an online forum. You can’t tell me not to respond or not to discuss something. Doing so isn’t misogynism.

  You want to see misogynism? Go hunt down the guys who treat women like objects in the OP. I don’t know what you want from me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has nerdy hobbies⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone involved is at fault yeah. Don’t know what you want me to say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has nerdy hobbies⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would have been nice if more of the women in mmorpgs I played growing up were like that. Too many guilds were torn apart intentionally by women who damn well knew what they were doing and knew that at least one of your staff members was easy to twist around their fingers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it works! only 99.99$!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be Québécois . They put the dollar sign after the number, rather than before if I recall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨periodic tablets⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  YouTube already does this in a less invasive way. “Here’s this random video on theory crafting how we can put life on Mars that we just thought you might like.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What animal could you take in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cats are the rightful rulers of this world. It would be foolish to oppose them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I wish you well in your future endeavors"⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played this game before, although not entirely as formal. It’s basically when you don’t want to ghost each other, and you’re both being or attempting to be polite about it so that you can keep them as a possibility for later.

  I’m not saying to be uncivil, but that’s usually what’s going on, and it’s really obvious when you don’t have any long term commitments between each other that won’t need to be resolved in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep, defintely not a bad person⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, probably Poe’s Law. Probably.
