I appreciate the thought but I can manage and I’d rather avoid buying even more shit that’ll be entirely obsolete in a few years. :)

Yep. That sounds about right in the year of Our Lord Yog Sothoth 2025 in the planet’s richest country.
- Comment on Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer 6 days ago:
Oh I wasn’t dismissing this as a non-issue or anything, it’s clearly bullshit and yet another reason for you to burn cars and billionaires. But I remember when I first heard about this, specifically the “(file) for free” was INCREDIBLY confusing because as ridiculous many, many things the US does may seem to me, (what I understood as) the notion of paying your government a fee to process your taxes was juuust a bit too far out.
You CAN still do it on your own though, just not online, yeah?

My headphones are at least 10 years old (August EP650), I’d highly recommend them if they didn’t use micro USB. So does my portable mini-fan. Life ruined.
- Comment on Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer 6 days ago:
Fellow non-USians: no they don’t have to pay their government for the privilege of being allowed to file their taxes. “For free” here means “without the help of a tax accountant (and online)”. I was SO SO SO confused.

I feel it necessary to mention that gem of storytelling called “Huh huh huh ur a dude and ur preggers huh huh huh”.

The Youth Today don’t know who that is. Then again, do they know how large a giraffe is? We may never know.

Sounds like it wants me to not care about trees because what did they ever do for us?
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
I agree, definitely. But here we are, the reality is that people read first paragraphs at best (which there can be valid reasons for) and take away “ah yes, Hawking radiation is a thing black holes do, science says so”. A reader who is interested further and has the mental capacities after working 8 hours 5 days a week to scroll down and read about experimental observations might also realise “oh wait, it isn’t actually clear whether it does exist” but you can’t expect that from everybody (unfortunate as that may be).
This particular instance may be harmless because it probably doesn’t affect anything in everyday life. But in general I think a first paragraph in an encyclopaedic source that wants to inform the general public should be very clear about it when a thing is hypothesised and hasn’t been shown to exist.

They… don’t like cars? I suppose?
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
Okay, might have worded tat better. It says “The radiation was not predicted by previous models” and “is predicted to be extremely faint”, not “it is predicted to exist” - and also “[it] is many orders of magnitude below […]” which sounds like a statement of fact. I realise this may be nitpicky but I don’t know if people who don’t know anything about the subject would interpret that as “we don’t really know if it even exists yet”.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I know, but realistically, many (most?) people just want brief, general information, which is what the introductory paragraph is for, no? So I’d argue it should say “hypothesised” or “predicted” somewhere in the, ideally, first sentence.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a hypothesis though, right? They haven’t detected any yet afaik (which the article could make clearer in its introduction).

Thank you, I am now reassured in my DuckDuckGo-fu after looking this up because I don’t watch the Simpsons.

Headcanon accepted. I choose to believe that John Williams spends his time on some bus in (what looks like, judging from the surrounding ten pixels) some central European city reading sheet music.

This is exactly like when we sat in the car on the way home from the shop, reading the manual of the video game we just bought, already practising in our heads the button presses.

- Comment on About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash 2 weeks ago:
Everything gets a “backlash” on the internet. If it says Star Trek on it, I’m going to at least try it. That easy.
(Disclaimer: Unless it’s absolutely blatantly not Star Trek. And even then I might be curious. Section 31 was difficult.)
