Breaking news: the slot machine is not an ATM.
- Comment on Heartily agree 2 weeks ago:
Of course they will, just not in the US (and probably Canada).
- Comment on No way!.. 3 weeks ago:
The problem is not in the old testament. Mainstream judaism doesn’t claim you need to a jew to achieve salvation.
- Comment on No way!.. 3 weeks ago:
That kind of statement can only apply to ideas and attitudes that also respect diversity. Christianity and Islamism taken at face value are exclusionary of all other religions. A “true” believer therefore has a moral imperative of destroying diversity in order to protect other people.
This is not saying all or even most followers of these religions will follow that path, but that they need to water down or ignore some of the core theology to fully operate in a diverse society.

It depends on the country. While most countries start it in Monday, Sunday is also common, some muslim countries start it on Saturday, and Maldives start the week on Fridays.

I just pick whatever this year - 20 is.
It’s usually enough to stop services from nagging me again.
- Comment on Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre 4 weeks ago:
My parents routinely started listening to several of my favourite bands when I was a teen.
Do you have any idea how hard is it to be an angsty rebellious teenager when your parents are supportive of your tastes and phases?
- Comment on How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ? 5 weeks ago:
You are joking, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the first people to use any form of body piercing did to look tough to impress women.
- Comment on How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ? 5 weeks ago:
There are archeological objects that are most likely piercings or earrings that are over 10 thousand years old. By the time writing was invented they were already very old news.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 weeks ago:
They don’t even disguise it, praxeology is effectively theology without the metaphysics.
- Comment on Truth hurts! 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, geese are terrifying and already come with “teeth”.
- Comment on Truth hurts! 5 weeks ago:
Ok, imagine a pack of very fast small cassowaries with very sharp teeth.
- Comment on Truth hurts! 5 weeks ago:
Everyone that disagrees should have a little face to face time with and enraged Cassowary and then visualise a Cassowary the size of a large truck.

And Laika wasn’t a Laika
Both in breed and name.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 1 month ago:
English is easy to get started but insanely hard to master. There are tons of irregular verbs, orthography is all over the place, plurals have more than a few pitfalls.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 1 month ago:
Spanish is easier in the sense it’s more regular. Genders don’t had that much complexity if they are applied consistently, especially when you stack them against all the irregularities in English. That being said, and without claiming to be an expert, I think the consensus is that language acquisition time is similar across languages, but the time to master the language is related to how predictable/regular it’s grammar and vocabulary formation is.

This video is still useful to remind everyone that vile people can also sound funny and be charismatic. Though it should definitely come with such a disclaimer.
I hope your relatives are safe.
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 1 month ago:
That wouldn’t solve the immediate problem, which is adversarial officers being infiltrated at all levels of our defense structures.
NATO is much more than government meetings, it has permanent structures that serve as the foundation of European security.
If our leaders were not complete idiots there would be a second foundation built around the EU, but the Common Security and Defence Policy is nowhere near ready to replace NATO yet. - Comment on conditional soap 1 month ago:
From what I could find, men are more likely to suffer from dandruff than women, so even though women can suffer from dandruff it makes sense from a marketing perspective to focus mostly on men, especially since men are still thought that any even cosmetically adjacent is not manly.
- Comment on conditional soap 1 month ago:
I think it’s not so much the shampoo but a mix of most men using shorter haircuts and doing less damaging things to their hair, like hair colouring.
And it’s not like there aren’t specialized shampoos targeting primarily men. I think I never saw a dandruff shampoo marketed towards women.
- Comment on Met Police recruited serial sex offenders to boost numbers 1 month ago:
They ran out of domestic abusers.
- Comment on Metal Exclusionary Radical Astronomy 1 month ago:
Even biological sex is more complicated than just 2 gametes. There are cis-men with XX chromosomes do to a mutation in one of the Xs, there are cis-women with XY due to a myriad of mutations, there are intersex people due to everything from random mutations to chimerism, etc.

When the bible says “created in god’s image” it was originally talking about octopus, it just got mixed up in transcription at some point.
- Comment on Increasing the surface area of a substance increases its reaction rate. Proof by garlic. 2 months ago:
No, they were trying to kill all the mammals but failed successfully because naked apes love mildly toxic substances for some reason and started mass reproducing them instead.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 2 months ago:
LLMs are an evolutionary dead ends. Very expensive ones at at.
Even the companies doing things were LLMs are actually good at, rely on companies like OpenAI so when OpenAI goes down so will they.

Works is different from works consistently across all browsers, or even versions of the same browser. I know most web developers got into their heads that only Chrome (and maybe Firefox if they are filling generous) matters, but open source projects shouldn’t incentivise this.
- Comment on EU tax officials confront the most pressing legal question of our time: If you sell RuneScape gold to someone and they use it to buy a magic sword, do you still have to pay taxes? 5 months ago:
Depending on the country, and depending on the gift, yes. Though it’s mostly not enforced.
