  Good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants $3 million⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wanna bet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also, plan to dig away from the outhouse.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Omfg I never saw a scenario I wanted to see literally come to pass more than this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Mass theft’: Thousands of artists call for AI art auction to be cancelled⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not gonna work. If these art AI thieves don’t care that they’re stealing then why would they care what the artists do or say?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants $3 million⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish they did this right now. Breaking through bulletproof glass is easy with the right tools. A flying dropkick is not one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely do you think there will be a run on the banks?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not very likely, at least not yet. Ask again in 3 months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s how Reddit lost even more users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You see when any kind of asshole wants to be an asshole, they’ll say some things. If you like and/or agree, it’s all good with them. If you get offended then they get to be a different kind of asshole because you don’t like them being an asshole. They are banking on most people’s unwillingness to be confrontational and call them on their bullshit, especially women, minorities, or members of any other vulnerable group.

  There’s only two functional counters to their assholery; either be confrontational and be a bigger but contextually justified asshole to them until they fuck off, or retreat. While counterattacking is more likely to get them to back down or realize they can’t always be an asshole, it comes with inherent risks that make most people avoid it. This is understandable, as you never know what kind of maniac the asshole might be, and local or immediate circumstances might not favor you. However if you’re in a position to put them in your place and willing to accept the any possible harm, it’s morally and ethically justifiable to stand up to them.

  Pizza is highly recommended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Average Australian place names⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can tell it’s not Welsh because the names are way too short and pronounceable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jamie Dimon popped off at the 1,200+ JPMorgan employees fighting against full-time RTO: 'I don’t care how many people sign that petition'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Time for them all to get new jobs with a competitor. Be sure to get remote work guaranteed in writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my version is better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What the hell do you mean “like a kiss from a rose on the gray!?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nope don’t like it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same with jeans if you’re a lucky enough dude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So would all the other planets, so there’d be a non-zero chance we’d smack into one of them. Most likely though we’d become a very, very cold rogue planet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Makes your jaw drop in amazement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that hard to go inside and use the bathroom. That dude’s a troglodyte.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Americans afford beans though?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the beans, but generally yes. We’re lousy with beans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans are weird.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wut is “mirror?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Romance scammers are now in the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to let my troll off its leash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what State you live in but we sure as shit have it in Illinois.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We have VAT in America. The States got pissy that we were buying things online and not paying sales tax. Now we have to pay VAT and sales tax because Google and such caved in to pressure, and the rich assholes still do whatever they want. Capitalism is hell and America is doomed.

  Good luck y’all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks Aragorn could have done more⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  protests loudly in d&d

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a business idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now you can prove you’re a scumbag with this one easy trick!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every time my wife pees, she flips the lid up. Every time I pee, I flip it down. Never been discussed. Dare I say anything and break the spell?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should always close the lid before flushing. Look up the words “fecal spray” but not while eating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The outcome of this situation is gonna vary based on OP’s age and gender. Hopefully school in this instance is college. If OP is female it could be worse then male, if he starts treating them as a surrogate wife. I advise their dad getting some therapy or getting family therapy together. He needs to learn a healthier way to deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Multiverse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Omniverse is what you get when you sort multiple multiverses, that’s all. It’s a way of categorizing multiverses sharing some common element. Because infinity is so vast that it’s basically meaningless to us humans, so organizing it at least makes it vaguely easier to understand.

  The dumbest and easiest way to understand it is with media franchises as an and analogy. All of Marvel is one multiverse, all of DC is one multiverse, all of Terminator are another, all of Star Trek another, etc. it’s sloppy but here’s my point across.

  In reality it’s more like; this multiverse has universes with identical physical parameters, that multiverse has a slightly higher amount of gravity, that multiverse has a slightly different amount of weak magnetic force, that multiverse has a different speed of light, etc.

  This is what the youth call “based.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a battle against the honorless you are a warrior of great wisdom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(They're not allowed to legally anymore)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My doctor’s always bitching that I need to lose weight, so this could work. If not though I hear that antibiotic resistant flesh eating bacteria is a horrible way to die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(They're not allowed to legally anymore)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Times like this are why I’m glad I live in a blue state. Not that it will ship the problems, it even slow then down. The Orange Idiot is going after Chicago right now like he’s got a vendetta, and diseases don’t care about imaginary lines.
