- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 1 day ago:
Again, not even close to the number of people the Nazis killed. Auschwitz probably killed more people a month than Trump and his regime have been responsible for to date.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 1 day ago:
Not even close to the number the Nazis killed, directly or indirectly.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 1 day ago:
He has yet to reign over the deaths of millions of people for being in the out-group.
Don’t misunderstand me, Trump is a walking bag of syphilitic, pus filled, nazi cumsocks. But he’s not attained quite the level of warcrimes Hitler did. Not yet anyway.

Can I get some of that copium? It looks like particularly good shit.

Your Dad apparently did some parenting, unlike the sperm/egg donor responsible for this.

I am totally fucking here for this comment.
Right on the fucking button.

Ah yes, the home particle accelerator everyone owns. Tweaked right, you can do some damage with it, up to about 10 feet away…
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 1 week ago:
The only reason there is any “fierce debate” about either of those topics, is because vested interests are spending a lot of money to have voices shout very loudly but knowingly in the wrong, in order to prolong the status quo.
The oil industry, for example, is one of the most heavily subsidised, highly profitable industries. That only remains so if the world’s demand for oil and gas remains insatiable.
Time and again, leaks, lawsuits and increasingly rare/dangerous investigative journalism have shown various oil and gas companies up to the fucking elbows in corrupt practices -ranging from skewed science to outright murder- to deny the extraordinary effects of burning their fuels, let alone the absolutely insane list of environmental damage that is accruing from all the non-fuel petroleum products society has been conditioned to be reliant on.
There is no disagreement on human caused climate change besides “Just how utterly fucked are our grandkids?”.

I was one of those “gifted children” according to every assessment I was subject to.
In my shitty crab bucket of an ex-mining town, “no child was left behind”. Meaning, every “top set” class has two or three knuckle dragging cunts whose every waking thought appeared to be “How can I be as much of a disruptive prick as possible?”
This led to 90% of our lessons being taken up by the poor teacher having to basically babysit three animals intent on destroying equipment and furnishings while we taught ourselves.
These dickhead should have all been in a remedial class together, where they could be taught at a level they all understood, with a length of 2"x2" as far as I give a fuck.
- Comment on Water Boss Handed £270k Bonus Despite Parasite Outbreak 2 weeks ago:
She willingly took on responsibility for the shitshow, risk/reward. She happens to be holding the bag when the music is stopping, I couldn’t care less how long she personally has been in the role.
It’s not like this class of people works harder than others, so that massive fucking pay packet has to be for something. I assume it’s for the risk of taking on the responsibility.
- Comment on Water Boss Handed £270k Bonus Despite Parasite Outbreak 2 weeks ago:
“Something went wrong” with the system they’re ultimately responsible for, the system that they’ve stripped to the bone in search of growth in a saturated naturally monopolistic market.
Loss of bonuses should be the least of their fucking worries. -.-
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
My aunt did fine getting shopping delivered, until she had a stroke that took out 20% of one hemisphere. Using a kitchen knife after that was downright dangerous. Is she supposed to avoid providing pizza or similar for her kids’ birthday parties in your world?
Just one real world example that took me but seconds. Think beyond your bubble.
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
What if the customer is incapable of some or all of the chain of tasks required to produce the home cooked equivalent?
Could be they work pretty much their whole waking life, running 3 or more jobs.
Could be they’re disabled and can’t do grocery shopping, or food prep, or cooking.
Before you judge someone, spend a few minutes imagining why exactly the circumstances are the way they are, and aim for a bit beyond the hateboner fantasy you already had in mind, yeah?
- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 2 weeks ago:
It takes two. You’re obviously aware of compromises made, referring to an example as you did. I’m reasonably sure someone aware of -and willing to discuss- such things is someone who makes an effort with others’ feelings and wishes. That alone puts you above most people I meet, so give yourself some credit. 💛

Nope. Leaving that one alone. Not today.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 3 weeks ago:
No-one is forcing certain titles to only release on Steam, that is the developer/publisher’s choice, to make their own lives less complicated. Perhaps they’ve run the numbers and reckon that Steam’s cut is cheaper than doing all the infrastructure (and everything else steam does) themselves?
Your argument essentially boils down to; You’re angry that Etsy is a “monopoly” because the guy who sells particular shirts you like only sells via an Etsy storefront thing.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 3 weeks ago:
People genuinely choosing a certain option en masse doesn’t mean they have a monopoly, it means the competition are doing a fucking shit job.
A monopoly is where there isn’t a choice, like water and sewerage companies, for example. This isn’t like that at all, and is therefore not a monopoly.
- Comment on Royal Mail investigated again as almost a quarter of first-class mail arrives late 5 weeks ago:
I’d imagine so. It worked well for the energy backbone of the country, the water supply and sewage system, and the education system, to name but a few.

Rightly so. If the scientific method is applied to religious claims, they fail as untestable assertions. Every time.

Maybe if Obama had spent as much time on the links as Trump, you all wouldn’t be in this mess.
LMAO

Remember when all the coal rolling micropenises were whacking “I did that!” stickers stickers on everything?
Wonder what they’re all blaming now their man, Mango Mussolini and his team of cum-guzzling sycophants and fascist handlers are fully in charge?
Is it still somehow Biden’s fault? What’s their play here?
- Comment on oh ok 3 months ago:
Yeah, not conflating intelligent, creative problem solving with a glorified search engine that makes up the answers if it can’t lift them wholesale from another source. That would be a good start, right?

Like the AI assistant following the link to tell the user what’s on the other end? There has to be a way to exploit that.
- Comment on Human experimentation, one way or the other. 3 months ago:
I just want to take a moment to recognise and respect the effort expended to so thoroughly detail the how and why of antivaxxers (anti-intellectualism in general if one reads the general context) in simple terms.
The more people that are exposed to this kind of explained reasoning, the less people there are to be taken advantage of by these dangerous charlatans.

Oh, well done. A genuine, proper laugh, loud enough the cat and the wife both looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
- Comment on Littering 🚯 4 months ago:
It’s eaten anyway. I’ve watched people spit the shot into an ashtray and carry on eating the rabbit pie. It was a while ago, when I was a wee bairn, but I know full well there are those in my hometown that still do this.
Not enough to account for the sheer, balls-out stupidity of voting to quit the EU when your specific area receives a notable amount (one of the highest in the EU, no less) of funding from said organisation to help regenerate the area.
Intelligence isn’t highly rated in these areas, so it’s hard to tell cause from effect here.
- Comment on Littering 🚯 4 months ago:
“Hunters”; that use a literal scattergun to murder animals because they lack the skill to succeed with anything less should be shamed as the pathetic little cowards they are.
If the hunting isn’t about the murder, prove it, and use a more discriminating weapon to do the job and only harm what you intend to kill and eat.
