  Apparent we do not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, some of us just want to have the biggest instance so we don’t have to rely on people subscribing to things. (Australia, I have 2 accounts)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon saves up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  4 weeks vacation 38 hour work week.

  I look on at countries in Europe with their 5 or 6 weeks and 35 hour weeks with envy.

  But yeah, we (Australia) do have it pretty good in comparison to many other places.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you like math⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There being absolute fucks doesn’t imply positive and negative fucks though.

  It implies we’ve set a point to measure against which we call zero fucks.

  Perhaps there’s an absolute zero fucks which can never be reached.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'ALL GOT ANY OF THEM HALLOPINERS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my favourite word on the sign. People used to spell this way (however they liked, and by accent).

  And I can HEAR this person’s voice through the words. Beautiful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨feeley feels⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Until I used spell check I wasn’t even 100% sure this spelling was made up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games reaches its goal of 1.4M signatures, covering the risk of valid signatures going under 1M⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s arguably much more support for that, than stopkillinggames.

  But the political opposition to stopkillinggames is far less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games reaches its goal of 1.4M signatures, covering the risk of valid signatures going under 1M⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These two things overlap under capitalism, as doing right by your customers is only required if not doing right by your customers affects your profits.

  We definitely want them to sweat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck it, more surrealposting.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s spaces like this I think of when people complain about modern open plan offices.

  This is so claustrophobic, and luckily for me, I like a bit of chatter in the background.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Missouri governor repeals paid sick leave law approved last year by voters⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of stupid-ass system of government allows an executive to repeal laws?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Labour police state⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for sending this through, I don’t think this guy is Australian though. Definitely not grown up here anyway.

  What a fucking shit guy though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Labour police state⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re they being serious? If so, please do share their name.

  Also, do you mean 2GB?

  Whole different line up on KGB radio I’d imagine haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, I never knew this was a thing (also Voyager user), thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  \ is the escape character in markdown. Gotta do a double \ and then another \ for the underscore

   ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ =

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I get this is a joke, but speed limits shouldn’t be set by politicians (which I’m hearing apparently is/was a thing?). Politicians have a role to play in getting regulations standards re-written by people who understand the decades of research on this.

  Speeding is mostly a design issue, but I still expect people actually follow the rules.

  Strong Towns, NotJustBikes, City Beautiful, Practical Engineering, among others have made great videos on this topic.

  A lot of people justify speeding, and it’s kinda dumb, if you ask me.

  Just because you “feel” it’s safe, doesn’t mean it actually is.

  Plus, there’s a fantastic way to reduce road deaths, just have fewer cars, switch to public transport, but that takes a long time to implement if the political will doesn’t exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Engineers should absolutely include traffic calming features to get people to naturally slow down, but everyone should drive the limit.

  Speed kills, kinetic energy is not linear.

  Cars are tonnes of metal hurtling down the road. Thousands upon thousands die every year, and since the increased prevalence of massive US style trucks fatalities have RISEN, undoing decades of progress. (Both in the US, and elsewhere)

  People driving 20 over the limit are arseholes (or have been influenced by car centric infrastructure and culture). Change my mind.

  Speeding is never okay. Just that lots of people have convinced themselves it’s no big deal.

  Oh my apologies, I thought we were talking about the number of lanes.

  Yeah the traffic here looks photoshopped, though, I’d be willing to bet there are times where this freeway almost looks like this*

  *Statement based on vibes, not actual evidence

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the dream⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I typically hear people say it at my company because we’re all busy as hell and time in meetings is time spent not doing tasks (which are a mix of necessary and not).

  We’re “getting back” the time to work, not relax

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just one more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  maps.app.goo.gl/5Bbb8EnScBd7Ffk46

  Go count them for yourself (or just search Katy Freeway into Google maps and turn on satellite view if you don’t want to click this link)

  The number of lanes is insane

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As neglected as the 7 button on a microwave⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is only the case for cheaper models. There are models with inverters that actually run at lower power.

  I am like original commenter, I gotta turn down the power because my microwave is a deadly lazer (1200 W)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit assemble⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everytime there’s piss on the seat or the floor I just think: who the fuck are these people and do they do this in their own house?

  Like, go use the urinal, why you gotta ruin the seat?

  And if it’s an accident, at least wipe up after yourself!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Absolute unit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably whoever was writing this in plain text didn’t know about the superscript numbers in unicode ³.

  Somehow I’ve seen it written as cum multiple times in my line of, and never registered it haha

  Context is a hell of a drug

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck, mom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is great, meane she’s giving the game stakes too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tips off the cops⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gentleman vs Gentleperson

  Seems like a legit substitution to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tips off the cops⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like using “gentle people”.

  Would the gentle person care for some more wine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Correct Grindr Response⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, this detail had me scratching my head. D≈1.56" makes so much more sense.

  Not knowing the difference between circumference and thickness? Instant turn off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Material scientist wet dream⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always hated “incompressible” when talking about fluids. It’s just shorthand for: doesn’t compress much under pressure.

  In engineering unless you’re dealing with insane pressures, when something is “incompressible”, assuming it is is good enough.

  But it’s still misleading so I don’t like it haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owned (stocks)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I took it as more of a PSA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨faen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a native English/German speaker, this sign just makes so much sense. Very onomatopoeic. I love it

  Driving Bump just doesn’t hit as hard (what I assume the literal translation is, roughly)
