Paywalled…
- Comment on How can I reject MAGAs version of america more then I already am? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t get it? That description fits on the amoebas currently acting as “politicians” demanding Zelenskyy to say “thank you”.
- Comment on How can I reject MAGAs version of america more then I already am? 3 weeks ago:
50+ European here. Could you please explain in simple terms what “woke” is? I’ve seen it for years now and still don’t have any idea.
In my mind it’s a lumberjack shirted 30yo with a trimmed full beard and tattoos working as a barista. That’s how little I know of it… Sorry!
- Comment on Is Severance the new Lost? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah because the ending (and severance last seasons) of Lost was a big unlubed middle finger. Effing waste of time.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 4 weeks ago:
They’d be taking out the core and putting in tulip bulbs instead 🌷🌷🌷
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 2 months ago:
If you’re one of the folks that didn’t vote, then please feel guilty for the absolute moron you got. Regards, Europe.
- Comment on If you speak a second language better than your native language, would you describe your second language skill as "native" or "fluent"? 4 months ago:
I speak four languages at native level, because I can change languages mid sentence and you wouldn’t know which one is my actual origin language (hint: it’s two).
I’m more than fluent. Fluent just means you can speak in complete coherent sentences without hesitation. You can do this but still have a strong accent - like many of the Indian tech wizards, for instance.
Native, to me, means that it’s practically indistinguishable from a person that grew up in that country, and you can’t tell that I didn’t actually grow up in that country.
- Comment on is it possible to be married and still feel lonely? 8 months ago:
Yes, it’s entirely possible to be married and still feel alone.
However, ranting about democrats and foreigners tells me this is not about being married or not. The guy has problems and worries that have nothing to do with marriage.
Still, I can somewhat relate. Living in another country since many years (because reasons), and I don’t feel at home. Happily married, with kids, all good. But I’m not home, y’know?
People here don’t need me; they all hang out with their childhood friends they’ve known forever. I’m the new guy, even after all these years. That makes me feel lonely. And it has nothing to do with being married.

How is that even legal. Smh.
- Comment on Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you? 10 months ago:
Pfft! 21 weeks per meat! 🍖
- Comment on What do you do with Nazi memorabilia? 10 months ago:
It belongs in a museum!
- Comment on Windows just changed the desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update 10 months ago:
Because it’s not our fucking choice, you imbecile. Corporate does as corporate wants. I can’t install your precious penguin on my work machine, okay??!
- Comment on What happens to my domain, website and email when I die? 10 months ago:
Not everything: if I buy your domain after it expires, I certainly cannot read your email!
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 11 months ago:
What about sending sms to other countries though? I have free domestic sms but pay like 0.20€ for international (within EU).

- Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use? 1 year ago:
Vimes’ theory of boots!
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
- Comment on Is the combined knowledge of humanity safer than it has ever been? 1 year ago:
Arguably, the time from when a girl is born until she becomes a mother herself is rising significantly.
That time might have been 20 years a century ago but is closer to 25-30 years in western countries now.
- Comment on A new Matrix movie is in development with The Cabin in the Woods filmmaker Drew Goddard at the helm 1 year ago:
There’s a fourth??!
I was reading this headline and thought they would make a fourth now. Guess I missed something, and apparently that’s not a bad thing.
Why don’t they make NEW stories instead of squeezing the old ones?
- Comment on What do you see that you wish others saw? 1 year ago:
It’s clearly working very well for itself, but it’s doing it for the benefit of the stock holders, not for the community, not for the employees, and certainly not for the environment - those are all just annoying cost factors that must be minimized to maximise profits.
I am saying this is not sustainable, and we have now reached that point. People have several jobs and still can’t pay their bills - that’s new, and a sign that we’ve reached the limit.
- Comment on What do you see that you wish others saw? 1 year ago:
Capitalism has eroded society to the edge of what is tolerable. The push for infinite growth has pushed the world to the extreme, with 0.001% of human holding 99.999% of the riches.
We are now at a point where growth cannot continue because the customers are too poor and the thumbscrews are all the way in. And yet, corpos want more. It will break - very soon. Then what happens?
- Comment on Why won't my jet lighter turn on? 1 year ago:
As long as the stored gas is in liquid form, the pressure will be sufficient, and when there’s some kind of window to peer into the container, that’s easy to confirm.
- Comment on Why won't my jet lighter turn on? 1 year ago:
Yet there’s a spark but I should check whether that is firing in the proper spot. Thanks for idea.
- Comment on Why won't my jet lighter turn on? 1 year ago:
Thank you for the tip about bleeding the air out, I will look into that.
Yes, the gaseous version, not fluid. Cans here in Europe are typically marked as “propane/butane” so maybe it’s some mix of those gases.
