That’s why I can never find anything and have to ask my girlfriend for help. I’m bad and scanning the periphery.

- Comment on Duval holding cue card for Brando who can't remember his lines. 4 days ago:
I read that one of his last movies was “The Island of Dr. Moreau” and he absolutely ruined it. He didn’t want to learn his lines and would improvise all the time.
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 6 days ago:
Because they don’t care if people download it? 99% of users will still go to watch the video on youtube because it’s more convenient. I guess if they would stop ad-blockers first and then everyone who can’t stand ads left and started torrenting or something they might try that but for now it just doesn’t make sense.
- Comment on Scary stuff and it wasn't that long ago 1 week ago:
My sister lives in US and told me that there are two schools in her town: the “mostly white” one and the worse one. Kids go to one or another based on their address. She said that her kids went to the better school and she had to prove her residence only once and then no one bothered her anymore. Latinos were asked to prove their residence every year. Penalty for sending your kid to the better school while living in the worse part of town? Jail. This is still happening in US today.
- Comment on I get so many private messages like this 1 week ago:
Exact same thing happened to me last week but instead of a pet turtle it was a wild armadillo.

I’m more like: my shirt is old an ugly but I’m on holiday and no one knows me here so it doesn’t matter.

Very ungrateful and selfish. It’s your birthday, your deciding. If they don’t like your plans invite someone else.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
So you’re saying that they have a list of emails that belong to queer people and if a person with one of those emails registers and joins a server the entire server will automatically require age verification? No idea if that’s true. I guess we’ll find out.

How will they know I’m queer?
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
I’m fine with not talking about police brutality on discord. I used it when I was contributing to some open source projects and no one talked about gender or politics there. People with different needs should probably switch.
- Comment on We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits 1 week ago:
A friend of mine did every weird thing he could think of when decorating his apartment. Imitation brick wall, colorful shelves, decorative ceiling, built-in plant pots and so on. No he says he regrets it because it’s hard to maintain (led lights brake, fixing even small damage is really difficult, repainting is impossible) and when you get bored of it and want to change something it’s a huge effort. With cleaner, simpler esthetics you can easily move things around, repaint, add/remove decorations and so on. You can constantly change decorations without things clashing with you colorful walls.

Because of the second image?
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
Discord’s updated privacy approach is “teen-by-default,” the company said in an announcement today. This means that, starting in March, all users on Discord will have their accounts partially restricted to the experience you’d get if you were under the age of 13.
I’m fine with that. I don’t need porn on Discord.

- Comment on This is real. Big controversy regarding cheating in Olympic events because of the size of suit worn by jumpers 2 weeks ago:
Yes but no one does ski jumping as a hobby. Running, skiing, cycling and pretty much any other sport can be done for fun or for health. Ski jumping is quite unique as sport that exists only at professional level where it’s all about cheating.
- Comment on This is real. Big controversy regarding cheating in Olympic events because of the size of suit worn by jumpers 2 weeks ago:
Ski jumping is the dumbest sport out there. There are points for style which is arbitrary and already takes it down couple of levels compared with real sports. Weight is super important so the ‘athletes’ are all starving all the time. Wind has a big influence so they have to guess when gust will happen but since it changer during the day judges will arbitrarily change the length of runway at different points of the competition. It’s barely fair. And on top of that the suit has such a huge influence that the jumpers can’t even touch it after they were certified. Like they literally can’t touch the suit they are wearing because just changing how it adjust to the body will affect the score. And now we learned that adding 1cm to the length of the suit have such a big influence that they will inject stuff in their dicks to get an advantage. This ‘sport’ is more about starving yourself, having luck and finding ways to cheat the rules then it is about athleticism.
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 2 weeks ago:
People will not think “oh, he just made a mistake, bless his soul”. Instead of thinking “fucking asshole” they will simply think “fucking idiot”. Just keep driving, focus and try to make less mistakes.
One time a guy rear ended me (lightly, no damage) and when we got out he said “sorry, I started breaking but it was too late”. I just laughed at how silly it sounded. Like yeah, the whole point of breaking is to stop before you hit someone. I think “sorry, I’m a bad driver” would be more honest. Hey, maybe that’s a solution? Put a neon sign that says “shitty driver, sorry” in your back window and turn it on when you make mistakes.
And don’t get me wrong, I know everyone makes mistakes. I just think "being sorry’ is simply another excuse. “It wasn’t on purpose so it’s fine”. It’s still not fine. If it’s happens rarely don’t worry and keep driving. If it happens often get some extra classes or stop driving.

Thanks for not censoring the word ‘die’. You rule.
- Comment on Usually a horrible interaction for all involved 2 weeks ago:
In Spain the law says you get 1 month salary for every year worked at the company. Last year my shit company fired me after 11 years. It wasn’t shit when I joined but at the end everyone who worked there for couple of years was hoping they will get invited to a meeting like that.
- Comment on If you had native-level fluency in a language, and don't talk in that language for a while, can you develop an accent later-on when trying to talk in that language again? 2 weeks ago:
Accents just kind of stick to you. If you hear specific accent long enough you will start imitating it without even knowing.

I think having constant gravity on the ship during the entire flight is also a big plus. Designing a ship where you can live in 0g for years and in 1g for years would be like designing two ships in one.
- Comment on HD 137010 b 3 weeks ago:
It’s only 9 years for you!
- Comment on HD 137010 b 3 weeks ago:
Smarter people than me on the internet calculate that at constant 1g you only need 2.5 years to get very close to speed of light. So I guess you accelerate fast enough and reach ‘almost speed of light’ very early in your travel and total time is almost as if you traveled at speed of light the whole time.

We could save a lot of money on life support system.
- Comment on HD 137010 b 3 weeks ago:
Found a calculator: www.calctool.org/relativity/space-travel
Assuming we want to accelerate at a constant 1g for half of the travel and then brake at 1g for the second half of the travel we would need 151 years to get there but only 9.794 years would pass on the ship. Depending on the mass of the ship we would need coupe million/billion tons of fuel (anti-matter).
