  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ 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 ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crop candles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Will you stfu already?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it obnoxious and distracting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Plastic Mr. Fantastic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Other kids have to use them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QUACK QUACK QUACK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨QUACK QUACK QUACK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  EBay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone give me some primers/resources on understanding politics in the Netherlands?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone who votes PVV, VVD, BBB or FVD is against democracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Brb, painting cow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The vacancy required German, but the department is from all over the place and we speak English a lot of the time. Nobody cares because they’re not bigoted asshats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨POV⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  *pickanic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is in for the antivax in a government?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  RFK has a business selling snake oil. All those at the root of the antivaxx movement (and iirc that’s only 7 people) have something to sell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Piercing headaches sounds more like Covid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit card⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pay it automatically with a direct debit. I can’t remember the last time I paid a bill manually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The New Guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dudley Moore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt it. I’m in a group with 3 MAGAts, a British incel and 26 liberals and despite having access to sources through this group for the past 15 years, they still vote Trump (and love Kirk).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Join forums with people who have similar interests instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forum sites with a wide selection of topics and/or a setup like the Craigslist forums?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been on the Internet since 1992, even ran a BBS, and it never looked like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Decide what an Appropriate Medical Response is for Loved Ones⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My own parents didn’t take my son to the emergency room when he had an asthma attack and was literally turning blue because they’d been taught asthma isn’t ‘that bad’ and people who have it are hypochondriacs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are a lot of statues vandalised with traffic cones in Scotland?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Vandalised? You can take them off!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨STRAIGHT 2 JAIL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is the weirdest generalization I’ve ever read.
