This bait is objectively hilarious in how BS it is.
- Comment on Rush 1 week ago:
2112 does go fucking hard, Temples of Syrinx was one of my all-time favourite songs, and I listened to it for years on a bad audio system without being able to understand the lyrics properly. Once I started hearing them properly, though, it started feeling a bit sus (I’m a big lyrics person) which lead me to find the interview above. I’m glad to hear they’ve changed since then, though.
- Comment on Rush 1 week ago:
Wrote several books about how the rich are rich because they make society gooder and invent all the things, and the poor workers would be lost without them (therefore libertarian capitalism is the best system). Among other proto-fascist ideologies. If you want a longer form, Angela Collier has a really good video that goes in-depth a bit more, “Billionaires want you to know they could have done Physics” on YouTube or Nebula (Ayn Rand portion starts at around 26:00, but the whole video is pretty good)

Slander, Weird Al would never follow the teachings of Ayn Rand (sorry to anyone that this may have killed the band for, it certainly killed them for me).

I once got flagged for plagiarism because I had page numbers! Also once got a flag for plagiarising… ✨myself✨ because I had ✨my name✨ on the front page 😔
- Comment on Could I just create my own drive format? 3 months ago:
Yes, but it would probably be a multi-decade, career-defining project if you want it to be any good. It would likely work with all files since it’s all just data once you get to the FS level anyway, but other devices would need an appropriate driver (that you would also need to write) in order to use it.
Note that I’m not an expert in this field, so others should correct me if I’ve got something wrong here.

TØP is probably the band Twenty One Pilots (stylised as Twenty Øne Pilots), and from Google they have an album called Trench, in the music videos of which people hold flaming torches (haven’t watched the videos, so I don’t know why).

- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 7 months ago:
Senn-torr
The “taur” is probably the same root as in “Taurus” and "el Toro"¹, which I’ve only ever heard said like torr, so I say it the same. The first part I don’t think is ever said anything other than “senn” right?
¹I can’t back that up, since they mean bull not horse and I have no sources. We do see the same root pop up in “Minotaur” from the same language though, and that is a part bull part man.

Y’know what’s worse? Rebuttal doesn’t always rhyme with butthole. It doesn’t in my “version” of English (though it’s close enough to an imperfect rhyme to slip by)
- Comment on It's Anon's birthday 9 months ago:
I (non-american but western country) had “large” parties way back in primary school (around 5 to 10 y.o.), because at that point everyone was just little kids and so there were no cliques or anything like that, so it would be impolite not to invite your whole class - but after that point no, it would usually be like 5 people at maximum for a bit of a chill hangout.

- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 11 months ago:
TIL the French are paying a lot more tax than me - but also their health system is Definitely better than my country, so that tracks. That said, your income there is a little bit higher the average French income is only about 43,000€. Pressing the “median wage” button on that link you provided rounds out to only 280€ per month that go to public health care. What I’ve really learnt from this is that I want to move to France now… If only I could get over having to speak French.
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 11 months ago:
we do pay a Medicare levy in our taxes but it’s nothing like USA costs
I was thinking about this too - the American monthly health insurance cost is significantly more than my entire monthly tax contribution, including the public healthcare contributions - and I’m not even “low income” by any definition.
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 11 months ago:
Wait American health insurance costs THAT MUCH? And then you have to pay MORE to use it? I’d been imagining a few hundred dollars p.m. and still thinking “that’s too much”. How is there anyone in your country who believes that public health could cost more than that?
You guys need serious help, I’m so sorry.
I have a medical treatment coming up that I’d thought was rather expensive, but after learning that it costs the same as 2 months of terrible medical cover in the USA I feel a bit better about it…
