  Is that such a bad thing? That’s exactly how they should feel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there’s no legal “too hot to work” temperature in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Then make CEOs pay a weregild to the families of their slain workers, possibly equal to a small multiple of the maximum value of their productive labour for the rest of their working career, with additional considerations for pain and suffering. Anything less is a patently unbalanced equation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self sacrifice is honorable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Social media ruined some people. You build your backdoor and do this shit well after you’re gone… And if you ever brag to a stranger, you did it for the wrong reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a paramedic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Christ, what a mess. Sorry for that. I just can’t stop recommending this book to everyone, but I know books can’t solve every problem. It did help me reframe things, but it did also slightly burden me with a certain understanding about the way the world is. So much boils down to emotional immaturity and people never growing up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a paramedic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents might be the book for you. It wrecked me for weeks, and then I had one of my parents read it. It wrecked them too. This sort of thing is a generational trauma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Programmable matter!?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t wait for Big Matter. I’ll be able to rent all of my surroundings which will all be slightly incorrect looking, and if I want it all to turn to goo and slither away I can just stop paying! I bet it won’t even cause cancer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even the worst among us sacrifice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You want Baba Brinkman’s “Short term mating dance” music video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i'm fucking devastated but there are no exception⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In general this is super accurate. Doopiidoo is the only exception I know of, but no other music videos have envisioned hell with more clarity so… Exception that proves the rule I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a word for people who will mess something up and blame the victim for it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my surmise as well. Could stem from plain emotional immaturity, needn’t be full-blown narcissism. It’s the reaction of a child who can’t process a negative emotion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed reading this perspective, thanks. It’s definitely compelling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays Metal Gear Rising Revengeance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to be number 1, you’ve got to be odd.

  (Same)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays Metal Gear Rising Revengeance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Being likeable is a super power. I know a few likeable people, they leap over fuckin tall buildings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You know this is gonna happen.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So you were like "yeah can’t wait, I hope it’s also got food banks! Chk-chk! And daycares! Chk-chk! And churches! Chk-chk!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rejecting Cookies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  lmaoooooo asked and answered

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will UK supermarkets cap food prices and how could it work?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wait, maybe I do know how British voters think… Damn it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rejecting Cookies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What if I want it to hurt? :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rejecting Cookies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gasp

  I’m so dumb. I didn’t even know I had to enable that… God it should physically hurt to be this stupid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The technology exists. Simply bias cut the two dogs and pile them into a larger roll. It is especially advantageous when you sauté the pieces for extra browning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry, bit of a UK-related rant, following this post I saw on Re**it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d politely disagree on laziness fines, I’ve always done the school run on foot even when it was a half hour walk but it still sets an iffy precedent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Must have apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ballsy move, bet the stock price would go up. They should try it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving to the USA could be the Most Expensive Mistake of your Life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A woman has been ordered to remove a gorilla statue from the front of her house in Wakefield or face a fine.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s still a less combative way, I have to think. Require them to get a qualified builder to come round and make sure it’s sturdy and up to code. Hard not to see the present demand as just attacking nonconformity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a shitpost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, antisocial insecurity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would like to play a calm game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is nice. I’ll try to come up with more recs later when I’m at my computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would like to play a calm game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Space Sprouts: calm, cosy, whimsical, physics based.

  Opus Magnum: machine-building puzzles loosely based on alchemical lore. The puzzle objectives tie into a story that is kind of just window dressing, but interesting enough.

  Saaaaame, hell yeah 🤜🤛

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨baby blues⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you order the largest size pizza in America and it fits through the door horizontally, you’re legally permitted to eat the delivery driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hottest thing ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheers! Happy Friday!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sober as a cat!
