- Comment on is it possible to be married and still feel lonely? 3 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.

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??!

Not everything: if I buy your domain after it expires, I certainly cannot read your email!
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 6 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? 7 months 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.

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.

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? 7 months 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? 7 months 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? 10 months 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? 10 months 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? 10 months 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.

Yup, ducks are general assholes. And they rape a lot, which also tracks with the cult leaders. And they quack, too!

What’s right, then? For fuck’s sake, these people have been hitting each other over the head forever and show no inclination to reason their way to peace. Like two babies crying over the same nappy, they won’t be content until one has all and the other has none.

I’m in Europe where many countries have motorists’ clubs that can assist in these situations.

Fuck religion and fuck everyone in that region in particular. As long as they keep killing each other in revenge for killing each other, things aren’t going to change.
Come visit us in the 22nd century and see how civilized it could be.
