My cousin is a millionaire and my mother didn’t tell me until a couple of months ago. I honestly don’t give a shit.

My mother (toff) is married to the son of a shopkeeper (and I don’t mean the CEO of Macey’s).

- Comment on How come if my dog is sick and I take him to get put out of his misery its ok? On a human its not? How come human laws don't apply to animals? I think of our dog as family and he's one of us? 2 days ago:
Not here in Germany. You won’t find a vet who will kill a healthy animal. Kill shelters are also not a thing. Ditto the UK.

Certain circumstances can be “being very, very depressed.” You don’t have to be ill or in physical pain.

Countries that have assisted dying do not make it “easy”. Especially when someone isn’t physically ill, they throw every type of therapy and help at them to persuade them not to kill themselves.

The biggest piece of shit I know (MAGA, gun nut, religious nutcase, married his daughters off to desirable candidates) lives near the Mexican border and takes in immigrants who have illegally crossed the border, gives them food and drink and sends them on their way. No, he doesn’t call ICE.
- Comment on When is the last time you had actual conversations with friends? 2 days ago:
A few weeks ago. We talked about vegetarianism, how one of my friends is coping doing loooong shifts as a new doctor, being chronically ill, why the oats you buy in the store aren’t any good, the education system, how our parents aren’t doing so good, how we can help them, etc. And there were also shenanigans. So many shenanigans.
- Comment on Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs? 3 days ago:
You need a semicolon there, bud.
- Comment on Is 71° F (21° C) the ideal weather to wear shorts? 4 days ago:
I don’t blame you. I’m hypersensitive to heat (Covid fucked up my internal thermostat). Even 15C can be too warm. I’d rather be cold than warm in any shape or form.
- Comment on f da h8ers 4 days ago:
I had a wasp’s nest over my back door for 11 years and only got stung once when I grabbed a broom handle with a wasp on it. Even then it was just one wasp, it’s not as if the entire swarm came after me.

Andrew Wakefield managed to fuck up people’s attitude towards vaccines quite well without politics.

Na denn, what’s stopping you?

Learning a language helps develop the brain.
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 5 days ago:
If someone says “good morning” and you just stare, you’re not “not tolerating stupid”, you’re rude. You know how much better you can make someone’s day by giving a friendly response? It’ll make your own day better too.
- Comment on Why do all night show hosts sit and have their desk to the left of the interviewee? 6 days ago:
And yet, the best show is Graham Norton’s and he sits on people’s right-hand side.
- Comment on What do far-left Christian liberationists feel about Catholics? 1 week ago:
My kid (we’re not religious) also went to a Catholic school, it was amazing. The headteacher was literally Christ-like. She fed and clothed the poor kids and sat with them when they or their family were sick or dying. Incredible.
The Catholic school I went to was terrible, mind, they punished kids for not being Catholic and were antisemitic as hell.

I’m an atheist who has thoroughly studied the bible with the help of a concordance. Hope that helps.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 week ago:
Yeah, no. Anecdotal evidence isn’t evidence.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 week ago:
You can by accidentally touching it, not washing your hands, and then ingesting it. It only takes 2 milligrams.

They’re looking down on people while using terrible English.
- Comment on How do left-leaning—or not even left-leaning, but pro-choice, pro-life people who don’t care about fornication—who are also Catholics and Christians justify their religion? 1 week ago:
Swearing is fine. “Taking the Lord’s name in vain” is about doing evil things in the name of God.
The “law” that is repeated most often in the New Testament is that love is important. It even says that love is the fulfillment of the law.
Leviticus is Old Testament and only applies to priests (who are not Christians, Christians have no business following anything in the OT).
- Comment on Wasps 1 week ago:
I had a nest above the door for years and was only stung once, when I picked up a broom with a wasp on the handle.
They’re easily distracted with a piece of ham or bacon when they’re bothering you when you eat outside, by the way.
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 1 week ago:
DNA tests can’t prove nationality. Your DNA test can’t have proven you’re Polish. Your grandparents can, of course.
Anyway, a girl was complaining she had a bit of a tummy. I told her that’s perfectly natural and another girl told me that she has a flat stomach and that I made her feel insecure.
- Comment on Is there a way I can "hide" money with a program like paypal or something legit? I was planning on getting my family all jerseys on their birthdays. But didn't want to show a huge cash withdraw to do 1 week ago:
Wise now has a “jar” system where you can put money aside.
