- Comment on But what if I don't like soy milk? 5 days ago:
I hate how RFK Jr actually made seed oils something people consider unhealthy. There is an enormous body of research that clearly demonstrates the positive health impacts of switching out animal-based cooking oils with seed based ones, and for anyone to consider the contrary would require them to willfully ignore the science.
- Comment on somebody has a case of the Mondays 1 week ago:
These tax structures exist in the US and other places as well. Besides, the meme referred to income tax so the fact that other taxes exist isn’t immediately relevant here.
And anecdotally, the overall cost of living was less for me in Sweden than it is here in Canada. Taxes don’t tell the entire story.
- Comment on somebody has a case of the Mondays 1 week ago:
Unless you’re in some crazy tax bracket, I’m fairly sure most Swedes don’t pay 55% income tax.
I checked Skatteverket’s calculator and if I state that I make 1M SEK per year (104k USD) the taxation rate is 33.8%. Heck, even at 10M SEK it’s so only 50%ish.
- Comment on Is starlink internet worth it or shit for gaming? 1 month ago:
Starlink recently bought up lots of billboard space here in rural BC advertising how “Fast, affordable internet has arrived in Canada” and I’m this close to defacing those signs by crossing out “Fast, affordable” and writing “Nazi sympathiser” instead.

I am half concerned WoTC forgot the lore in the intervening 13 years since the last book, but they did release the Magic card a little while ago so perhaps they will do something interesting with him again.

Ooh, another Icewind Dale would be amazing. It’s been 26 years.

Yeah, now that it’s written out like that I’m surprised I missed that.

Right. That makes sense and I’m surprised I didn’t pick up on that one.

I’m struggling to get that context from the image. Where does it say or imply she was raped?

Cats do exactly what they feel like doing, external motivation be damned. Honestly, it’s not a bad trait.

I’m not being the joke, but it’s clearly not in the source image.

The true road to enlightenment starts when you realize that SUVs just aren’t fit to haul your kids and your groceries, and that the only logical path forward is to buy a massive lifted truck that puts a Sherman tank to shame to drive your statistical 37 miles per day in some modicum of safety.

- Comment on Memories of defragging your computer 3 months ago:
This is the defrag I remember most. Back on a 286/386 it would really make a noticable difference in how fast files and programs would be found and loaded. From my Pentium-based Windows 95 machines and onwards I never noticed quite the same impact of defragging my drives.
- Comment on Example 3 months ago:
It’s commonly used as a criticism of Obama to point out that his approval of drone strikes was significantly higher than any president before or since. This data point is a bit shaky however, because drone strikes weren’t nearly as prevalent during this predecessor’s term as they weren’t as technologically advanced as they were during his terms, and due to the fact that the Trump admin changed drone strike approval processes to no longer need presidential approval.
- Comment on Example 3 months ago:
I bet this is going to involve the number of drone strike he authorized, so for some preemptive context: https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-countries-bombed-under-donald-trump-joe-biden-and-barack-obama-11273909

There’s nothing like honesty as a foundation of a relationship. Also, getting both of your baggage out there is a good way to figure out if you’re compatible.

It really isn’t, but it got made to be by parties with vested interest in maintaining the oil and gas status quo.
Also, I realize this is probably a woooosh on my part.
- Comment on Man on a mission 4 months ago:
You’re trying to add nuance so this will probably not go over well in this dumpster fire of a comment thread, but you are correct. The butt of the joke is the person asking the questions because they look like a creap/pervert/overly horny. This is a form of self-deprecating humor on part of the original commenter in the screenshot, but apparently the internet is still where humor goes to die.
- Comment on Hay there 4 months ago:
I’ll admit I was never a big techno, house, or other electronic music connoisseur so I’ll concede you’re probably right.
- Comment on Hay there 4 months ago:
The video is absolutely a piece of absurdist art, but that track itself sounds very derivative of late 90s hardcore house music, and not in a particularly inspired way. Not my jam overall, but I guess I am also not the primary demographic for her art.
- Comment on Today in history: Ronald Reagan and the SS attempt to open a stuck car door. 5 months ago:
My bad on misabbreviating Super Sport, thanks for the correction. You are getting my point though, how did folks who actually fought the SS not feel weird driving a car labelled SS? I know I sure couldn’t without having some mixed feelings.
- Comment on Today in history: Ronald Reagan and the SS attempt to open a stuck car door. 5 months ago:
Yeah, it’s the same response I have to seeing it in other places too. Like for example American cars using the “SS” badging for their SuperSpeed variants of popular muscle car models. This goes back to like the sixtees too. Did none of the WW2 vets see an issue with that back then?

Yeah, I’d like to know too. Don’t leave us hanging OP.

That’s not wrong, that’s working as expected. You didn’t think those companies paid Google to not advertise their business did you?
