Well, no. She was struck down. It was her doom.
- Comment on If you (a regular American citizen) had actionable, insider knowledge about the US Federal Government/Military and felt the public should know, how would you tell everyone? 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like a good way to get suicided.

‘On’ Spain?

When I was a teenager an American visitor wrote to our biggest newspaper calling us a shitty little 3rd world country for not serving hashbrowns. Which is how I learned what a hashbrown is. I can see why you like them, they’re in the same conceptual space as potato chips. Not sure you’ll get my buy-in as a breakfast food, though. So greasy!
- Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery? 3 weeks ago:
The online ordering system fritzes out at the last step and I’m not about to call and talk to them.
- Comment on When is the last time you had actual conversations with friends? 5 weeks ago:
Bout 12 hours ago.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Similar, but fewer spices in the mix. I prefer ketchup.

Makes sense. In my country tomato sauce has a lot of sugar in it and we put it on french fries. You wouldn’t want it in your dal.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
What’s tomato sauce in the US?
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 1 month ago:
Ever thought about not being that way?
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 1 month ago:
I swear to God, every comment I read about life in the US boils down to ‘slight adjustment made to orphan-crushing machine’.
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 1 month ago:
I was working telephone company helpdesk. A customer called in demanding that I raise the priority of their ticket so the serviceman (who was in their house already) would finish the work faster. I made the mistake of trying to explain that’s not how it works.
- Comment on freelearninglist.org -- The Internet's Best Education Resources 2 months ago:
A lot of those things seem like infotainment rather than anything genuinely useful.
- Comment on I got banned from Fuck AI community, anything I can do? 2 months ago:
It was meant to be provoking to motivate people to try to argue.
Absurd. People don’t argue on the internet.
- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 2 months ago:
A condom.
Apart from the obvious use, you can carry water in it if there’s an emergency.
- Comment on Do people eat this? 3 months ago:
1861? I wonder what the original poster’s ancestors were eating back then.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
If you are, so am I. I was part of the BBS scene, and it didn’t survive the transition to the internet. I’ve never felt so well-understood since then. Sometimes I dream about the LAN parties and summer picnics.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 3 months ago:
I’m stupid because I’m younger than him and vaccinated.
Your friend is not for taking seriously.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 3 months ago:
That’s not really much of a concern unless you aim satellites directly at it. There’s plenty of space in space.
- Comment on how to dust properly 3 months ago:
You can wash it off. Just hold the duster under a tap and run cold water over it.
- Comment on how to dust properly 3 months ago:
My wife uses an ostrich feather brush. It carries an electrostatic charge that holds the dust.

- Comment on Why do Kiwis love Museli? What is the history? 4 months ago:
Lots of textures in every bite.
- Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal? 4 months ago:
New Zealand here. Yes, public libraries have the many volumes of the legal code in the reference section.
- Comment on Could gunpowder be chemically addictive for humans ? 4 months ago:
And in the early days they obtained the potassium nitrate by boiling shit. Might be the opposite of addictive.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 4 months ago:
I don’t hate it, but my personal experience has been that it’s not reliable enough to depend on.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 4 months ago:
I’m from New Zealand. We’ve traditionally been a US ally but the situation being what it is at the moment, I think there’s a good chance we’d try to stay neutral.
- Comment on How will the Military be after this mess with Trump? 5 months ago:
They might not want to do it, they might feel there are better things to fight for, they may have heavy regret signing and volunteering for the military knowing who the president is. But they do it anyways.
Do you maybe mean the opposite of respect? Because that seems more logical.

I believe Thiel’s name is one of the ones found in the Epstein emails.
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 5 months ago:
One thing I’ve noticed is that boomers think that if you disagree with them, it means you must be younger than them and therefore wrong.
If you’re older than a boomer, your arguments tend to consist of. “Speak up! Why can’t you speak up? No, I don’t need a hearing aid. I need you to speak up!”
