Not true:

The worst brunt was 20 years ago, but it returned a few times between 2019 and 2024.

The thing is, large countries that don’t have these problems currently, are the ones with power to change that.. and would never vote to change it, because it could help poorer countries create stability and grow over time, which makes them not so much less than the big countries who want to be able to take advantage of those countries when they wish for their advantage.
Well said. Ultimately imperialism. If we don’t change this way of “countries thinking” humanity is truly fucked.
- Comment on What's the best way to tell a kid that their dog died? 3 weeks ago:
Death is part of life.
Grief and sadness too. There’s no reason to keep these from small children.Just yesterday a 4yo told me about the death & burial of their grandfather. Yes, she cried. But she’s a very happy child.

- Comment on Samsung is shutting down messages — alternative to Google's messenger? 4 weeks ago:
My phone uses an alternate OS that does not implement RCS at all. I get & send SMS or MMS (multimedia message, i.e. pics, docs etc) to one or several recipients.
So, from my POV, the alternative is just fuck Google and use SMS.

You mean it means both bald AND rock in French?
It’s not really surprising. The differences between Finnish/Estonian are usually small shifts in development. E.g. kallio means rock in Finnish - not too far from kalju. And it’s easy to see why such a word could mean both.

While this reply might have happened in earnest at some point, it has since gained copypasta meme status. The fact that you found it on new reddit would indicate satirical usage more than being the original answer.
- Comment on Why is stack overflow so horrible? 5 weeks ago:
I have good experience with all the stack/exchange etc. sites. I once tried to ask a question there, and that was horrible, but for finding solutions it’s good. Of course one actually has to click on links provided, or scroll down to further answers, or even read comments.
It’s a horrible meritocracy for people participating, but for people looking for answers it’s definitely a net positive.

I remember the Czech word Pozor. It means “Attention” and is seen everywhere on all sorts of signage.
In Russian, however (and possibly other slavic languages), it means shame/disgrace.
I’m sure there were jokes about it when Russians were the invaders, but can’t remember any.
Then there’s Finnish/Estonian - the differences are hilarious.
Word Finnish Estonian Hallitus Government Mold Maasika Earth-pig (not a thing) Strawberry Maasikapirukas Earth-pig devil Strawberry cake Piim(ä) Buttermilk/sourmilk Milk Kalju Bald Rock But my favorite is “nahkhiir”, which means leather mouse, i.e. a bat. (in Finnish it would be nahkahiiri, but bats are called lepakko)
Batman is consequently called Nahkhiirmees in Estonian. - Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 5 weeks ago:
Thanks.
for a couple of minutes
This is clearly the crucial part. I take them out much too soon.

Fuck. Off.

After, put the eggs in cold water so they stop cooking.
You mean a separate container (large enough to hold plenty cold water I presume)? How long?
I struggle to get consistent results with this method, but I don’t always put the eggs in when the water already boils.
- Comment on How do you feel about a 25 year old dating a 46 year old? 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t go to the 2nd page befor, now I did. It gets weirder. This one caught my eye:
How do left-leaning—or not even left-leaning, but pro-choice, pro-life people who don’t care about fornication—who are also Catholics and Christians justify their religion?
And they never interact with their own posts, which really makes me hate them.

Not sure what you mean but damn this OP is asking weird questions.

Cheesus. Puts all those school shootings in a new light.

I’d like a list of all UN resolutions that (almost only) the USA & Israel vetoed, pretty please.
- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 2 months ago:
100% passion fruit juice? I shudder.
I don’t know how the law is where you are, but around here there’s a clear and simple word for 100% juice. But we also have the “juice drink”. It’s a little sad because people who don’t bother with such things will fall for it over and over. But once you know the verbiage it’s simple enough.
What really fucks me up is how little juice there is in it, and how much fructose syrup. 😡 It’s possible to produce affordable drinks that don’t add any sugar. Apple or grape juice concentrate is cheap.
- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 2 months ago:
it would be waaay too concentrated
100% is 100%. But yeah, you probably wouldn’t like the taste.
- Comment on The City of Encinitas, California is removing a protected bike lane to replace it with a painted bike lane. Cost? More than $3 million. 2 months ago:
The way that mayor displays empathy for car drivers and very obviously none for cyclists is really something. I won’t even go into details, his arguments are all shit.
Also, I bet they were complaining like hell about how expensive it was when it was built: $4million! And now it costs 3million to remove. As they say, the cruelty is the point.
- Comment on I present my girlfriend's daughter. 2 months ago:
Not using autocorrect is hardcore, my respect. But she should work on the reflexive hit-send-before-proofreading. Net positive though I’d say.

- Comment on weed can increase anxiety some say. does CBD oil have that effect too? 2 months ago:
CBD’s THC content varies a lot; maybe the label on your bottle can tell you something? Could just be alphanumerical classification codes.
But please also consider that Correlation does not imply causation.
