Winter: A nice merino wool base layer does wonders for keeping you warm.
Spring: Allergy vaccinations are a common thing now.
Summer: Long sleeve/leg linen clothing and a brimmed hat will keep you cool.
Autumn: Also my favourite season.
- Comment on Sam Altman’s make-or-break year: can the OpenAI CEO cash in his bet on the future? 3 days ago:
He’d have to be dumb as fuck to think LLMs will change the future in any meaningful way. It’s like saying chiropractics will change medicine forever. Dude’s a salesman like any other, he’s out to scam people and be a burden on society.

It’s a pretty popular etymology myth, not a joke.

That’s a myth. What uneducated moron put this sign up?

The effect of circadian rythm in mammals doesn’t really have the scientific evidence people think it does. Most people, even highly educated ones, are unwittingly creationists.

Seriously.
Me: I have these medical issues I would like to have checked out. Maybe a blood test would be in order?
Doctor: How many units of alcohol do you consume per sitting, per month, please be specific.
Me: Uh…
Doctor: At what exact time do you poop every day?!?
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 2 months ago:
What I don’t get is why he’s called a democratic socialist and not a social democrat. You know, the widely used term for parties with his kind of politics around the world.

- Comment on Rant: Reddit has a huge problem with mods falsely reporting “report abuse” 2 months ago:
I’m guessing they feel right at home if they also use Facebook/Instagram/TikTok. People think that’s just how the internet is, many don’t understand what a bot even is.

I’ve always been curious if this is a poor infrastructure country thing or obease person thing. I’ve never in my life experienced it, no one I know have said it happened to them. I’ve only seen it happen in american movies or seen people talking about it online.

Didn’t know Hearthstone was still a thing, but good for them!

I believe that would be the opposite of a bard.

And that’s why open source is superior. Some cunt can’t squat on the software.
- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 3 months ago:
You completely misunderstood my whole argument and instead of thinking about it for a minute, you reacted like many MAGA-cultists would. I’m not surprised since this how you have been conditioned to react, probably since childhood. Maybe one day it will click with you. Until then, I’m really very happy you are no longer working as a teacher.

The LAN parties are gonna be off the hook!
- Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? 3 months ago:
With you already being in a cult, you should be able to empathise with these people. They believe what they believe because they’ve been told to. Questioning that comes with consequences from the rest of the cult.
When someone calls you a fucking idiot for worshiping some old storm god from a long dead bronze age religion who has had more “prophets” than most people have had pimples, you know how they feel when you question their delusions.

I swear some shitty AI bullshit is gonna shut down the internet by the end of the decade.
- Comment on We interrupt your happiness to bring you this special message from our sponsors 3 months ago:
My pet theory after observing friends and acquaintances growing up into adults (and hearing them speak on the subject) is that such behaviour can coincide with seriously considering suicide, but not going through with it (or failing). This can give a huge rush and sense of renewal, a new life where you don’t have to care about others anymore and are no longer bound by morals. Similar to how I’ve heard incel acquaintances describe being “black pilled”.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 3 months ago:
This happens when the developers are incompetent. The app should probably be avoided as the people making it have no clue what they are doing.
- Comment on soda 3 months ago:
That drinking vessel would likely be called a “glass” or tumbler.
I doubt the boys plastic basket(?) would even meet the definition of a drinking vessel.

Yes? This is what a profit driven organisation is supposed to do.
- Comment on Cops have now arrested over 2,000 peaceful Defend Our Juries protesters 3 months ago:
Many members of the Christan sect in the cult of Yahweh have this deranged belief that when all Jews are in Israel, the apocalypse will happen and they can go to heaven. They don’t like to admit this to non cult members however, as even they know it makes them sound extra crispy crazy.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 months ago:
I pay for Tidal (afaik the best music streaming service) and keep a tidy vinyl collection. Vinyl because it’s the coziest way to listen to music and my girlfriend likes reading the lyrics from the inserts. CD unfortunately had to go with the last move.

Meanwhile, people are using this shit all the time without incident.
Oh I’ve met these people. They’re often just too stupid to understand when they’re being fed bullshit. That’s why they have no issues.
- Comment on Farage will roll back gun laws and turn Britain into Trump’s America, Ed Davey claims 4 months ago:
It’s about arming the “right people” to do the dirty work for him. Mussolini had his Blackshirts, Hitler his Brownshirts and Trump has ICE etc.
- Comment on A Kentucky church is urging its members to remove books from the Shelby Public Library by checking them out and never returning them 4 months ago:
These are clinically insane people living in a fantasy world. So, no. They would screach and resort to violence as religious people always do.
- Comment on Witness me brøther 4 months ago:
Swede (not the vegetable) here. People with a victim complex will often take any reference to themselves that aren’t universal praise, as an attack/insult. Goes double for weird ethnocults.
