- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 5 days ago:
Excuse the pun but something certainly seems fishy about this post. Surely at some point in their life, OP would have been in a room with women and discovered this wasnt true.
They also keep talking about how this is something they’ve heard and read about but then later say they’ve had to leave the room when a lot of women are around because of the smell lingering.
- Comment on London stabbing rates vs X posts about London crime 5 days ago:
Yeah these graphs are frustrating. The knife one also has a Y axis starting at 600 along with the numbers being a “rolling 12 month average” of stabbings, whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.
- Comment on The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time... 1 week ago:
Well I never said anything about dismissing someone or something just that I found this behavior to be cringe due to it being superficial and inauthentic much like after-school specials or Christian evangelist films. Another example would be corporations who change their logo to a pride flag during pride month but then later suspend this or donate to anti-LGBT causes because they think it’s more advantageous to do so.
It takes a very strong person to stand up and simply accept without judgement.
Sure in the right circumstances, but as you judge me here, let’s not forget that this is a fictional television show put out for entertainment purposes by a multinational corporation not a friend or confidant telling me an uncomfortable truth about themselves.

What do you find to be grossly terrible about it?
No wonder everything is going to hell if people cannot even understand what it means to be done working through shit…
If they were done working through shit then there wouldn’t be any problems left to write a TV show about. What you’re describing is one group of people being superior to another and that superior group swooping in to save the day much like the way America has viewed itself historically.

Agreed. DSC was filled with superficial Mary Sue slop. All anyone ever needed to overcome their problem was a cookie-cutter motivational speech from Burnham, while inspirational music played and the camera slowly panned across every crew members face as they smiled and gave a nod of approval.
It is cringy because it’s like a virtue signaling characature of “wokeness” along the same vein as “after-school TV specials” or Christian evangelist movies of decades past. There’s no depth or substance just endless variations of “there’s no problem that can’t be solved with a hug.”

It’s supposed to be a time after humanity has dealt with all of the stupid in-fighting and conservative BS. It’s supposed to be about a time when the drama doesn’t come from inside the house. When humanity is exploring the stars, not having a moment.
And yet all the drama is derived directly from real world human issues, so what makes a difference between Starfleet characters creating it or some fictional alien race? The latter too closely resembles “American exceptionalism” by acting like Starfleet always has all the answers and can do no wrong and these uncultured foreign aliens need to bend to our will in order to solve their problems. I don’t see that being super appealing considering everything that is happening currently.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x04 "Vox in Excelso" 1 week ago:
I thought it was great and have been enjoying the series so far. It reminds me of Lower Decks blended with a much less offensively cheesy Discovery.

The fun yet educational kind.

It looks like it belongs in an anatomy textbook
- Comment on Why does apartment management expect you to call the police over every tenant incident? 3 weeks ago:
Can you explain what’s unreasonable about that? External noise may be outside of their control but that doesnt mean they don’t bear some responsibility to ensure that residents have peace and quiet in the place they’re being charged to live. In that scenario, you would typically have the right to break your lease and move out without penalty. With internal noise, they have the responsibility to penalize the noisemaker with fines or eviction.
- Comment on Why does apartment management expect you to call the police over every tenant incident? 3 weeks ago:
I’d be willing to bet that nearly 100% of apartment leases have some language in them about noise meaning apartment managers absolutely do have the power to enforce these limits. Even HOAs, where you buy the property with your own money can enforce their own rules because you agreed to that when you signed the paperwork.
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 3 weeks ago:
Why do you think a Mr. Rogers type person would be the ideal choice? That just leads to “we need to forgive and put this all behind us” type responses which drives even more unaccountability, more inaction, and leads to more problems. I think a Mr. Rogers type is the exact opposite of what we need in response to Trump.

Yeah thats just a seal to keep the poop in but not what holds it down to the floor (mostly).
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 4 weeks ago:
Because we must pay homage to mister World Wide himself, Pitbull, as we browse the internet.
- Comment on Tried to carefully install the faucet immediately after gluing and caulking the sink 4 weeks ago:
I see what you mean now.
Even still, our toilets in the US are bolted to the floor and only sealed with caulking along the floor to keep water from pooling underneath and rotting the floor. With our American diets, we rely on the structural rigidity of metal bolts to keep things in place during our massive dumps
- Comment on Tried to carefully install the faucet immediately after gluing and caulking the sink 4 weeks ago:
Toilet seat got glued in as well.
I’ve gotta see a picture of this too. I’ve never seen a toilet seat that wasn’t bolted to the toilet.
- Comment on Is "depress" ever used in this context? 5 weeks ago:
Also many car manuals tell you to depress the brake to start the vehicle.
- Comment on "Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo? 5 weeks ago:
Our brand new GE fridge is like this. The temperature is set to 41F and it still causes some things to freeze on the shelves.

Lmao was your previous comment genuine? I assumed it was some top tier sarcasm/wordplay
- Comment on How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder? 1 month ago:
Seems like you answered your own question.
We had a week long power outage after a winter ice storm a few years ago and would have been screwed without our gas water heater and fireplace, so I’m a big fan of having both gas and electric.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 month ago:
Those are all physical devices though. I agree platform exclusives aren’t good for anyone but the companies but it does seem like most are moving away from that model with these newer generation consoles.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 month ago:
I don’t think its necessarily the prices that are the issue but what you’re getting for it. Games have historically not kept up with inflation and still cost less than what we were paying for SNES carts in the 90s, but now they’re the 15th sequel of some franchise and are only half finished so there isn’t much draw for customers.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 1 month ago:
It was still the same back then, it was just done via network TV channels instead of streaming channels.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 1 month ago:
Because music streaming services compete (for the most part) based on experience and features not content. This happened after the market plummeted for music sales. TV and movies are still in the stage where everyone is competing with content by having exclusives while their services suck dick with few features, horrible UX, and ads. Im sure at some point they’ll go the route of music and games where youre not forced to sign up to a specific service to see a specific show, but who knows when that’ll happen.

Roadside breath tests arent admissible in court because they aren’t certified testing devices. Only the one at the station with a record of maintenance is admissible.

Field sobriety tests are complete pseudoscience and only exist to gain evidence against you not to prove you’re sober. You should never consent to them and if an officer asks you to take one you’re already going to jail regardless.

Oh I wonder if this is the same guy who’d tag a GPL license onto the end of his comments as if this were Facebook and they’re telling Mark Zuckerberg that he doesn’t have permission to use their comments.
- Comment on What's the name of this 80s song sang by a solo female singer? I only remember her saying "nothing really maaaa-tters" or "nothing truly maaaatt-ers". Has a vibe like I Feel For You by Chaka Kahn 2 months ago:
Oh good, this was the song I kept playing in my head while reading OPs description and now I can stop racking my brain trying to figure out what it was.
