If you’re saying that it’s not a problem in Europe then I can’t imagine how bad it is in America. I get blinded by taller vehicles all the time on the road in Denmark. I also don’t think most people’s automatic high beams work correctly.

I went in knowing nothing about the book other than there was a supernatural clown in it. When I read that scene I had to stop, then go online to find an explanation of what the fuck I just read and how it is related to the plot. I was absolutely baffled by the amount of people saying they thought it was fine to have, some people even said it was a good allegory for leaving childhood.

No, it is even more bizarre. They have sex because the group is lost in the sewer and apparently this makes them know where they are, somehow, so they can leave, which they then do. It adds literally nothing to the plot, apart from really shoddy symbolism of growing up.

You see a lot of people in Ireland with names like this. A senior politician was called Dick Roche (pronounced roach)

Just do amphetamines
- Comment on Structural Engineers 1 month ago:
No, we would not. The beams have a loading that they must adequately support. They have a span that is dictated by the column spacing.
You cannot just throw in supports (i.e., columns, bracing) everywhere to reduce the span until it works, otherwise you impact the usability of the building space and drive up the cost of construction.
Reducing the beam to beam spacing means you are increasing the number of structural elements and therefore cost, and probably also using the material inefficiently. The expensive part of a beam is the connection, and you typically want to reduce the number of connections and crane lifts as much as possible.

There is the possibility of misconfiguration, but ultimately, a member can be too weak even if the configuration is correct.
- Comment on Structural Engineers 1 month ago:
If a member fails it is in fact because it is too weak

Correct all along, aside from suggesting that we need to essentially genocide each other until all states collapse and the population is a small fraction of what it is today.

Beyond vile. We should bring back exile as a punishment.

his other notable character trait is repeatedly trying to turn various drinks into whiskey.
In fucking fairness half of your personal goals as an Irish teenager in the 90s and 2000s related to acquiring alcohol and getting drunk.

That’s simply wrong.
- Comment on Especially the Ø... 9 months ago:
Well the vowel Ø represents OE in Danish.
Its a noise that is between “oo” and “u” in English.

Yes, its pretty rare to see any keyboard without at least latin letters

just normal Arabic?

I don’t agree on any of your points. You sound incredibly ignorant.

Nah, don’t agree. They established a hierarchy of “good nationalities” to be and put others like Irish and Lithuanian below them.

What a fucking weird and racist post. “not even the Irish want to be Irish”
- Comment on Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they gave you pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ? 11 months ago:
There isn’t really any rehabilitation of his current image possible. It’s not like he did one or two bad things he could apologise for, it was systematic and continuous. He’s revealed himself to be a fascist which is pretty bad to begin with, but also a degenerate which repels even the fascists from liking him.
- Comment on Anon is thrilled 11 months ago:
It’s a trope in detective shows/movies where they reach a dead end, get frustrated and flip the table. When they calm down they look at the pile of now rearranged evidence, and because of this new pattern, realise a new connection to investigate.

Okay, what are the circumstances? You’re skirting around the fact here, just say what you think was so bad. Did you say you were being molested? Did you say you saw someone cheating, taking heroin, etc.? Unless it was something on this level, I don’t think it was your fault as a 6 year old.
