• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Get yourself a decent hiking jacket, trousers and shoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do they do with aborted fetuses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the state. Some states require the foetus to treated as medical waste. They’ve recently changed that in the SW (I can’t remember if it was BW or RP).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The rest of the world has been trying to do something and has received threats from Trump in return.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never buying milk from Walmart again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t look curdled, though. The liquid doesn’t look yellowish and semi transparent enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never buying milk from Walmart again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop wasting food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it wrong that I want one?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m reminded of that Loriot sketch in Germany, with grandpa buying a game for Christmas.

  “And when there is an accident all the little trees and cows fall over.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, by now, this has become an aggressive hand gesture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evangelicals in the US vs Protestants ib Europe?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The protestants in Urk and the Dutch Bible Belt are definitely not more progressive than the Catholics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Which one do you suggest?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Revanced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised it took so long, I’ve not been able to watch Channel 5 for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially because there’s a bunker underneath.

  I’m willing to bet this is all about modernising the bunker, not the east wing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Americans expect the NK protest to achieve anything?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. Millions of people protesting didn’t stop Brexit. Millions of people protesting didn’t stop Tory cuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CRAZY PILLS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And those who had been convinced before being sent to a concentration camp were sent back to prison to finish their sentences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because I’d be cold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a person who is a convicted felon/ rapist even get nominated for the Nobel Peace Price? Extra points if you can ELI5 that.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really hard to judge things that didn’t happen. See also vaccines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crop candles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is only done when there’s an unexpected frost in spring or summer when the poly tunnels have been taken away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crop candles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In one of the Laura Ingalls books they run around pouring water on top of their crop early in the morning when it turns out it’s frozen. It seems to be an old method.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I block trackers instead of asking nicely. It’s amazing how many seemingly innocent sites stop working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Public schools are what Americans call private schools, the other ones are state schools, academies, council schools, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Private schools in the UK serve awful food. Stews, custard with a skin, spotted dick, that kind of stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Will you stfu already?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind the Kallax or Ivar shelves with stuff. It’s a cheap way to show what your videos are about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it obnoxious and distracting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Plastic Mr. Fantastic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t invent plastic recycling. They are, however, using it as an excuse to make more plastic. The EU had regulations against over packaging (like putting cucumbers in plastic) for a while until plastic recycling became a thing and they went ‘meh’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Other kids have to use them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The people who wouldn’t notice wouldn’t have changed their browser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QUACK QUACK QUACK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire antivaxx movement has 7 people at its core, all of whom have something to sell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QUACK QUACK QUACK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  EBay.
