I don’t think anyone calls this dating? It’s the filter to figure out if you want to date

- Comment on Anon watches Super Size Me 2 weeks ago:
No, he wasn’t lying about it being bad, he was lying about the effects it had on his body and his severe it was.
Lying to get your point across isn’t really “helping”, that’s how you sew distrust in science and documentaries. It’s straight up anti vax logic. Just because his root point was correct doesn’t make his lying good. This sort of stuff is what emboldens anti vaxers etc.
- Comment on Anon watches Super Size Me 2 weeks ago:
Lol what? “Lying about reality to get your point across is good actually!” What in the maga fashy nonsense kind of take is that?
It also doesn’t help that he didn’t actually achieve anything. Mcds is still popular, still unhealthy, and he gave people more ammo to fat shame.
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 3 weeks ago:
I’m not saying you’re wrong in any way, but in my school days encyclopedia britanica was “a valid source” and Wikipedia was considered not. Despite them essentially being the same thing, and I recall at some point a study showing that Wikipedia was more accurate in general

In early first trump presidency there was a very real and concerning centrist to nazi pipeline on YouTube
- Comment on 6🤷♀️7 1 month ago:
There is context, but the kids parroting it don’t know our understand it.
Basically it’s part of a line from a philly rap song that someone misinterpreted, said it in a funny way, went viral, and now everyone is copying the viral vid/kid.
- Comment on Elon Musk, doing Elon Musk things. 1 month ago:
Man… I can’t beleive how many people tried to gaslight everyone into thinking he was just “sending his heart out”
Somehow he got off easy lighter than he should have for such a blatant nazi salute

Male version Granny panties vs nickers.
- Comment on I like kiwi 1 month ago:
Kiwi = bird Kiwi = nickname for humans from kiwi land Kiwi fruit = Chinese gooseberry (that actually has very little to do with kiwis other than marketing)
Also, I’m allergic to kiwi fruit so… Big nope from me

I assume p is for “parentheses”, because where I grew up it was BEDMAS, for brackets.

You just successfully described 95% of modern office jobs
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 2 months ago:
I think it’s a case of them thinking what the title says, but knowing it makes them look shitty, so trying to couch it in a way that makes it open to interpretation, or at the very least gives them plausible deniability.
Like a lot of right wing commentators/popular people. Talk bullshit around the point everyone knows you’re making, so when people call you out on it you can go “I specifically say that, so that’s not true, and you’re actually the ass hole for acusing me of it”

If you know cricket, and the Pakistani cricket team… This meme is very on point.
Perhaps one of sports most “potential that was never achieved” teams.
At times they have some of the best players, and on paper team, in the world… And then they’ll just play like muppets at important events and you get this meme.

They need them for a lot of reasons.
Except for stopping tyranny or having a justified revolution
- Comment on My AYN Thor 2 months ago:
I mean… The 3D idea was pretty cool, and it worked surprisingly well, but I realistically never used it other that for fun occasionally.
I’ve just hacked and started reusing my old 3DS and it’s great fun! Can download most games abs cool hacks/mods to modify them.
Is this able to hook up with the same software as 3DS so I could do the same on it?
- Comment on one bright second 3 months ago:
Because things haven’t progressed linearly with the universes evolution, and, as the op stipulates, we are part of one second vs countless billions of years (relatively) till it’s theoretical demise, it is possible/probable that we don’t know what will happen down the line.
Certain things might change to make it possible that we simply can’t predict due to lack of information (the future) and technological difficulties.
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 3 months ago:
Yeah, I mean they bought the ip, but they haven’t actually developed any homm games, just produced it via other development companies.
Unless I’m misunderstanding something
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 3 months ago:
Pretty sure they did that with all Homm games? Their first, HommV was done by nival interactive.
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 3 months ago:
Can confirm. SoC is great. For a slightly different spin (auto battler) there’s also Hero hour
We’re in a rare run of good form where there are currently multiple gear Homm2/3 clones/spiritual successors that are all great in their own way.
To top it off, og Homm3 still gets decent “updates” in the form of high quality mods that are still being worked on.
- Comment on Any swifties here to verify this? 3 months ago:
I mean, that title sounds like it’s in the same ball park as WAP. As long as they’re not getting exploited, more power to em.
- Comment on Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll 4 months ago:
I haven’t followed UK politics much lately, but sounds similar to Labour in NZ. Take over from conservatives trying to sell off the country and fuck over the poor, win a mandate super majority election, do nothing or worse, back track on your progressive campaign promises… Get railed in the next election.
And the government that took over is the worst we’ve had in decades.

Or fingers…
- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 4 months ago:
It’s almost too perfect. He was trying to turn a genuine question on gun violence into racist rhetoric, and then got immediately snapped…
Was probably feeling pretty smug with how he spun that until his neck popped.

I appreciate it’s correct usage of “coral”
- Comment on banger 4 months ago:
I feel like it had to be. It’s too subtly funny for the rock, while also taking a stand on something, which, and I don’t follow him closely, so I could be wrong, I don’t think he tends to do.
I would have thought he wasn’t the queens biggest fan though, given his people and the brits history
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
That pretty much summed up the entire brexit mindset. “We already have one of the sweetest EU deals, but we want only good stuff and no bad”
- Comment on The duality of man 4 months ago:
They want to bomb the middle east, but harder.
It’s not even that they’re “the same”, it’s that they have similar approaches, but one is much worse.
Everyone lolmemes about republicans dropping bombs and Democrats dropping bombs with rainbow flags like it’s some deep insight, but all this does is massively benefit the right.
It sews disengagement from the left and people “protest vote”, then the people that do the thing they’re protesting against worse than get into power.
Unfortunately in a two party system, such as the US, it’s better to vote for the less bad one than neither, even if the one you vote for doesn’t do everything you’d like them to
