There’s one that has a switch that puts you offline, but I can’t remember the name of it.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 1 day ago:
I had one with an entire burrata in the middle last Saturday. It required surgery with a knife.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 1 day ago:
Some people hate getting dirty hands, they just don’t like the feeling of it. Just eat pizza as you please.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 1 day ago:
Rich people don’t care how you eat your pizza. Stuck up people do, but you get plenty of those without money.
- Comment on JD Vance visits Milan, Italy 2 days ago:
Because he thinks someone will try to poison him. The Stalinist paranoia has set in.

No. It’s kph. Ebikes are restricted to 25 kph.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 5 days ago:
It’s 25 KILOMETERS an hour. I often end up cycling faster than my ebike motor can keep up with.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 5 days ago:
I’m a gen X “bitch”. I was raised cycling everywhere. Get lost with your generational divisive bullshit.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 5 days ago:
25 kph, not mph. Which isn’t very fast.

Didn’t work, got defunded anyway.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 1 week ago:
Everyone knew. The Holocaust is just the Jewish part, by the way. It started with dissidents and “unnatural” people.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 1 week ago:
I had an odd smell. My mother also kept telling me off because I “didn’t change my underwear.”
When the pain started when I was a student it turned out I’d had a bad infection for years.

Sweden discourages integration, so there you are.
- Comment on Is it still seasonal allergies if they last all four seasons? 1 week ago:
Unless you tested every day, you don’t know if you had Covid. Many people don’t have symptoms or don’t recognise them, which is why it spreads so easily.
Covid is still around, it’s killing more people than it was at the start of the pandemic, and also giving millions of people long covid, heart disease, allergies, etc.

They’re incredibly salty.
The only healthy food restaurants serve here is salad, so you just proved my point, really.
Oh, and forget vegetarian options.

You don’t live in Germany, obvs. It’s schnitzel and Maultaschen all the way down.
- Comment on Is it still seasonal allergies if they last all four seasons? 1 week ago:
2020? Yeah, that’ll have been Covid.

Mine last all 4 seasons because a. Climate change and b. Covid made me allergic to ALL THE THINGS.

Try the Bylines network.
- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 1 week ago:
I have it. No ads. It has two tracker libraries (Branch, Bugsnag) that get blocked by tracker control.
- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 1 week ago:
I still use it. No ads. It’s still exactly the same.
- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 2 weeks ago:
You could get a cooling vest. You soak it in water and then it cools you through evaporation.
- Comment on Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry? 2 weeks ago:
Me too, also CFS. It’s a real nuisance, because I need to lose weight but being hungry is awful.

Which one was Harris? The pedophile or the guy with dementia?
- Comment on What would happen if a person proved in a lab they're gaining weight while in a verified calorie deficit? 2 weeks ago:
It’s easy enough. Love, betablockers and the menopause.
- Comment on If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for? 2 weeks ago:
That’s why Trump won last time. People like you. Disgusting.

Nope.
- Comment on Womp womp womp womp 2 weeks ago:
This is why I work for the army (not the US!). They offered me a permanent contract. I’ve been fighting for funding for the past 30 years and it’s become pretty much impossible. My last job was supposed to become permanent and the government cut funding after 2 years instead.
Not doing anything explodey, by the way, just researching how to deal with mass emergency events.

“Learn the difference between socialism and communism is before you say things like that.”
