Well, here’s the thing, you can’t cure cancer. Cancer is just a type of a many different things, all requiring very different avenues of potential “cure”.
To cure cancer, like it’s a singular, is like the DNA equivalent of “finding the cure for mental illness”.
- Comment on This is why Americans hate Socialism. 6 hours ago:
The US used to be a world leader in anti-fascism. There’s even those old-timey films explaining how it letting it in would ruin the American way.

This would be an issue if I hadn’t once gain left for the seas to leave a life of inconvenience and hassle.
Streaming services really have nothing going for them again.

I’m like this with shitting. It’s so intensively inconvenient.
“Oooh. I’m in the middle of something, but you go right ahead bowel. Go on, let’s go spend the next five minutes making smell and needing cleaning. I wasn’t in the middle of something anyway. Fucking asshole.”

- Comment on On Labor Day, Mamdani Announces City's First Office to Organize Workers 4 days ago:
Labor Day for labor?
How dare the plebions be valued. This is how they realise they’re the core value of the economy and try to get some of it.
Is this what you want, Mamdani? Equal rights and opportunity? It’ll never work!

The price of cinema popcorn is a strange thing.
It’s corn. It’s literally just corn. Unless the butter came from the teet of St Mary herself, it’s just corn. $2 should cover it including the inconvenience of shipping it, pouring it into a machine, and scooping it into a thin-walled cardboard cup.
- Comment on The town and HOA only have two settings for a holiday: Jesus and Troops. I guess Labor days is a "Troops" holiday. 4 days ago:
It ain’t labor if it ain’t done with a rifle and direct orders from a state.

He’s smuggling his own popcorn into the cinema.

- Comment on Person most likely to be able to survive the Apocalypse 6 days ago:
Aye, that’s the mentality to have. You are under nature’s thumb so you work with her, not try survive or fight her.
I might check this guy out. Some of the most impactful “survival” methods are very simple things. It’s more about doing these things as you go so you aren’t ever in a survival situation and you can actually spend a long time out there by just being respectful and aware of your situation and environment.
- Comment on Person most likely to be able to survive the Apocalypse 6 days ago:
Really?
I do a lot of outdoor adventuring and Grylls is a joke. Most of the stuff he does is the dumbest call, worst advice, or just outright unnecessarily stupid. When he does something that actually is valid, you can tell it’s his first time because it’s done so badly and he misses the obvious stuff.
- Comment on Who approved this color combination? 6 days ago:
Ya, but print 101, designers know contrast thresholds and how much they reduce as typeface goes smaller. Even if this was a junior, it’d never make it past final checks. Even then a lot of printers would reply back after opening the file, “Uh… You sure?”
- Comment on Posted by a school district's official Facebook page in response to a shooting 6 days ago:
It would stop my nation for weeks and there’d be massive reform that everyone would get behind. The entire population would make sure it should never happens again.
- Comment on Why does the Grim Reaper hold a scythe? Was he or she farming or something when they became the grim reaper? 1 week ago:
Well, they also cut down overgrown flora and grasses. In there lies a metaphor about humans being a pestilence to every other thing in proximity trying to survive.

You would’ve heard some of their music. Every time someone wanted to make their Minecraft video more epic than it was, they’d put Imagine Dragons over it.
- Comment on Emo music 🔥🔥🔥 1 week ago:
The only people I knew that listened to them were kids and young teens. My friend’s daughter was obsessed with them. Now she’s 19 and "ew"s them.

American news presenters will never look human to me.
Every other country, they look like humans. In the US, definitely skinwalkers.
- Comment on Every Landlord I've Had In Australia 1 week ago:
Normal. Australia is just people from all over the world.
There’s some weirdos that think it isn’t, but they’re not welcome.
- Comment on Every Landlord I've Had In Australia 1 week ago:
It’s definitely the opposite.
When Australians say times are tough, it’s true, but they’re usually unaware of how much tougher it is for everyone else.
There is a reason for the increasing uptick of North Americans moving to Australia and not looking back.
- Comment on Is Old or New Call of Duty better? 1 week ago:
Yep. I think it explains the popularity of HLL, reforger, and the increasing amount of those titles. Keyboard dexterity gets you no where if you can’t think or communicate. Like in real life, the loser is more often outsmarted than anything else.
- Comment on Is Old or New Call of Duty better? 1 week ago:
Old.
The new ones, I wouldn’t even call military or war games. They’re like Overwatch with things based on real life objects. Basically it’s about how good you are at performing a gymnastics routine in a firefight. Slides, spins, dives, rolls, have a pretty outfit, performing in this cute battle theme arena. Nothing really at all to do with being called for any sort of military duty.
- Comment on Darude Sandstorm 2 weeks ago:
You just rock up and say, “I need something for this” and they give it to you. Otherwise a doctor prescribes it. And it’s cheap.
Companies will advertise approved drugs to medical boards to be distributed down to doctors. So medical professionals decide what the best options are. There’s no taking drugs just because it was on TV.
Considering Americans lag behind the developed world in life expectancy and general health, I think it’s safe to say the drug industry is only there to make money and it certainly causes harm, ironically.

- Comment on Boycott Starbucks 2 weeks ago:
Their coffee is shit. Their international reputation is so negative, they’ve failed so many times.
So if you’re an American and love Starbucks, maybe try to figure out why that is because it’s obviously not for the coffee. Or keep paying full price for something as high in quality as their work environment.
