I‘m glad there are still such wordsmiths in this LLM age.
- Comment on It was a simpler time 1 week ago:
New Zealand‘s worst invention. Closely followed by instant coffee.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Competitive ranked racism.
- Comment on I will confess that I have obsessively watched merge requests on a daily basis 2 weeks ago:
Can’t you ghouls just leave it alone for 5 minutes without making everyone miserable?
- Comment on Banana for scale 3 weeks ago:
Avogardo‘s number (Not Avocado‘s number as I wrote in my high school chemistry exam)
- Comment on laughs in 12 hours, while still driving through texas 3 weeks ago:
Surely you can do better than that. NZ almost has you beat.

A dumb YouTube prank video. Its only real value is this gif.

- Comment on Duckduckgo search assist is not quite flawless 1 month ago:
New Zealand was named Nova Zeelandia by Dutch cartographers which was then Anglicised to New Zealand. It’s named after the Dutch province. Denmark had nothing to do with it.
- Comment on Duckduckgo search assist is not quite flawless 1 month ago:
It’s actually the Dutch province of Zeeland which is notable for being otherwise completely unnotable.
- Comment on Good luck, space cowboy 1 month ago:
99% of all media is garbage. Anime is not special in that sense.
- Comment on flat housing 1 month ago:
As opposed to getting into an elevator to not get elevated? Or having a „roommate“ who doesn’t live in your room?
- Comment on flat housing 1 month ago:
Does it come with dressing at least?
- Comment on Why Should I... 1 month ago:
Baked beans outside North America don’t have molasses, and generally only a small amount of sugar (if any). The colour in British baked beans is from tomatoes.
- Comment on German joke 2 months ago:
I work with one guy who is a master of the second style to the extent that even other Germans don’t notice he’s joking.
- Comment on Every Landlord I've Had In Australia 2 months ago:
Tenant rights in Germany are amazing (comparatively) and there is still renter associations (Mieterverein) because landlords are scum sucking parasites who will knowingly do illegal things to tenants.
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 2 months ago:
It’s never going to happen as modern English is six small children in a trench coat but it’d be lovely if there was a spelling reform like German went through. While there are one or two quirks (long/short unspelled vowels, no one pronounces -ig properly, Berliners insist on being weirdos), you can generally know exactly how a written word is pronounced in (standard) German.

The man himself said it in Twin Peaks: „Fix your hearts or die“

Yes the symbolism in One Man, One Jar cannot be denied.

Also extremely racist.

By Earlybird right? That was a fun watch.
- Comment on Is this a rope hanging under a helicopter? 3 months ago:
One has to assume the body of the helicopter is a perfectly spherical cow.

Or they’re German.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Yes! Free oestrogen is not actually a particularly good thing if you’re not on antiandrogens and pointless if you are. E-maxxing is sadly money down the drain.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 4 months ago:
Most AAA studios have bonus programs in place for sales up to around a year after release - to theoretically make up for the extremely poor baseline salaries. Artists do in fact get paid for the amount of copies sold.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 4 months ago:
The dogged ignorance of gamers as to the financial reality of game devs neglects the fact that launch profitability bonuses are the only thing that lifts many of them out of a minimum wage bracket.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 4 months ago:
Librarians don’t get dressed up in balaclavas and hit their nearest book store to get more books. No you’re not entitled to artist‘s work for free.
