  All I’m saying is everything is further to the right in the US. These things you listed aren’t even partisan issues here, they’re just normal things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think any of this happened last time the democrats were in charge? Or any other time before that. Seen from Europe, democrats are definitely right of center, just less so than republicans.

  Except they only know the amounts/frame of references for the specific things they’re used to, so it’s not like they can do the conversion any better than the rest of us. Canadians have a similar (though different) system as well.

  These things are so creepy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FOSS App to Edit videos ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Great comment all around albeit with maybe a bit outdated yet personal experience.

  I would say, don’t underestimate blender, it has a lot of parallel progress going on and while I never used it for video editing, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pretty powerful in that area.

  I’m personally a resolve user and I think it doesn’t have anything to envy from avid or premiere at this stage (you admit yourself it was 8 years since you tried it). It’s incredibly powerful and the free version should get you by for most projects though you might run into a few things where you wish you had the studio version.

  My personal experience when I was shopping around before settling on resolve (3/4 years ago) was that all the other FOSS options I tried were mid at best.

  The trick is to just keep taking more crack continuously, then everything is better all the time.

  I tend to sit down to pee most times (at home), so that ratio is even higher for us…

  No need to apologize, you live and breath that stuff and are aware of all the dumb shit regular people like me will do I’m those situations, the harshness is coming from a place of love I can tell. I’ll definitely have your good advice in mind shall something like this occur again, thank you (and thank you for the work you do).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Decide what an Appropriate Medical Response is for Loved Ones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I really appreciate you jumping in, I’m glad I randomly checked on the thread because since you replied to the other guy, I didn’t see it myself (I’m the OP).

  You made some great points and raised a bunch of info that no one really gave me so far, not at the hospital that day or when talking about it with others since, all very valuable stuff.

  I just want to clarify that I was exaggerating for dramatic effect, and definitely drove to the emergency safely, respecting all driving laws and while his mom was in the back monitoring him the whole time. There was no speeding above the limits, no red lights, etc, I’m not a dumbass.

  I do want to add that if I did call an ambulance right away and they sent in a heli or something I would’ve been even more mortified, having taken crucial resources away from people who might actually need it. I understand now the actual advice is “wait until you see if there’s any reaction, and then call an ambulance if needed”, and that they would first start by evaluating the situation/give us advice.

  So yeah, just for the sake of anyone reading, don’t be like me, don’t panic, and call the appropriate services if/when needed. It’s tough as new parents sometimes and I learned the lesson that day, I do think it’s relatable and sharing it led to your valuable insights so hey, that’s a win right?

  That was precisely my reasoning, we didn’t know if he’s allergic and especially in the neck it could’ve gone from fine to dead real quick, and I’m not about to improvise a tracheotomy… I get why she teases me though, I really acted like I was in an action movie lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Decide what an Appropriate Medical Response is for Loved Ones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife was just making fun of me yesterday to my doctor sister in law for that one time we were camping in Germany and I went all fast and furious and parked in front of the emergency gate of the hospital when my son got stung by a bee in the neck. I try to reason myself but that day my primal instinct kicked in stronger than I could ignore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Horrific stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A conundrum⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “in any country” took it too far, since there’s places where you can basically buy a house outright for that amount. “Western/first world” wouldn’t even cover it I don’t think, with Italy and eastern Europe being a thing. Even in my very expensive western European country our mortgage isn’t that much higher than that (we kinda lucked out), but of course once you account for all real expenses it is.

  Are you the OG poem-sprog from Reddit? If so you gave me a poem back in the days, can’t remember what it was about anymore I’d have to dig it out, but I certainly remember it happening. Hi!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something we all can agree on⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I remember the meetups and I see there’s a mention of a military base as “most addicted” place, but not sure that’s what the other comment was talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something we all can agree on⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When was that? I don’t remember that at all and I was on Reddit for like 10 years before moving here.

  I wanted to love it, I did love the style and the gameplay, but the hardcore mechanics were just too much for me, they need to give us a “I have a job and a family” mode lmao.

  Weird, this is what smarties are to me: Image

  The description is beyond hilarious, but it’s only topped by the disclaimer at the bottom haha.

  There’s not much you can do about the old part, but you definitely don’t have to become creepy.

  They were roommates!

  Drop a native french from France in the middle of some remote Québec village and they won’t understand squat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fewer People Are Reading for Fun, Study Finds | From 2003 to 2023, the share of Americans who read for pleasure fell 40 percent, a sharp decline that is part of a continuing downward trend.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a binge reader, so if I start a book and like it, I’m not gonna put it down. With all my responsibilities and lack of free time, I can’t commit to that. It also feels like I need to be relaxed and in a good mindset for it. So I pretty much only do it on vacations and maybe once in a while at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  New Jim Jeffries special? Gonna have to check this out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could go for this right now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I’m reading a book that means I’m actually in a peaceful state of mind, I can only stay focused on a book if I’m far away from distractions like work, my hobbies, etc. So yeah that sounds lovely, I don’t even need the rolls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d argue these are more unsafe for Americans than Europeans, y’all are the ones having to use the death traps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Going by time played it’s probably something like:

  • WoW
  • Rocket league
  • Tony Hawk
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If not, then the premise should really be: “your Waifu becomes real, but there’s a 50% chance you are the one becoming your Waifu”.

  Glasses require replacements, I’m actually curious now whether I’ve paid more than LASIK over my lifetime…
