- Comment on Your memory will live forever in textbooks. 2 weeks ago:
They’ve done away with naming diseases after people. Most new diseases now have descriptive names. E.g., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
- Comment on Here for you like the east India trading company was there for South East Asia 5 weeks ago:
British or Dutch company? The latter was far more vicious and greedy but the Dutch’s international reputation somehow got away with it today. Let’s not forget that after being colonized and brutalized by the Nazis in WWII, the Dutch went back to their old ways and did the same things to Indonesia.

I need to poop. Bye.

Guys, guys. Hear me out. What if (tokes) yeah…what if like if we like yeah. Oh? Sorry. What if we train pigeons to shit on traffic camera lens. It could be done. The military had trained pigeons to guide bombs against warships. Let’s train and breed pigeons to do this and release them in the wild.
- Comment on CNN blocks Firefox with uBo 3 months ago:
CNN has been shit since 10 years ago. Their apogee was the first Gulf War and it has been down hill since then. Unironically, go to Tiktok if you want the latest happenings, usually right as it happens by the people it is happening to.
- Comment on Recycling 4-year-old 737 memes (Part 5) 3 months ago:
The 737 design has reached its max (heh) potential. There’s no more milk to squeeze out from this cow. Boeing has to bite the bullet and design a new plane from the ground up. Surely those billions in tax payer funded military contracts can be invested in R&D.
- Comment on Fuck the balloon police 3 months ago:
Most countries require a hot air balloon pilot license. Don’t fuck with the FAA. They will ruin your life.

What’s Tolkien have to do with this?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Maybe these posts are “warrant canaries” to tell his friends that the Lizard people haven’t
- Comment on Oh great, I'm applying to a university that doesn't proofread their own stuff. 5 months ago:
As a former lecturer, the issue here is combining two different questions (have you ever went to uni AND are you currently enrolled in a uni?). The best practice is to break it into two separate questions.
- Comment on So, basically 75% of deviantart? 5 months ago:
I know we laugh at them but it is better to channel those dark urges into art vs real life.
- Comment on YouTuber Jirard (a.k.a. The Completionist) has been accused of keeping and hoarding charity donations 5 months ago:
Why give money to 3rd parties? Simply donate directly to the orgs that you wish to support.
- Comment on Non-native english speaker here. Need help with my work emails 5 months ago:
The phrase orginated from “for God’s sake”. Therefore, it should be “for fuck’s sake”.
- Comment on Every time 5 months ago:
No. It combines the worst of both worlds: the ugly military buzz cut and the untacticool long hair that are relics of 2010. The practical feminine-combat heroine wields a bob cut.
- Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users 5 months ago:
I am against abusive youtube ads (long unskippable ads, more than 2 ads per video etc) but to me, merch is fine. Merch allows viewers to directly support youtubers since they get the largest percentage of profit from merc sales vs from youtube views. Many of them take the effort to make their merch ads interesting and funny too.
- Comment on Do the people in Reniassance festivals pccurring in Brotain also speak with faked British accents, or do they ise faked French/Iralian accents? 6 months ago:
Why would they speak French or Italian? The Rennaisance happened in Britain too and they spoke ye olde English back then.

Because Tolkien.
- Comment on Israel-Hamas War: Piers Morgan vs Bassem Youssef On Palestine's Treatment | An unexpected interview - dark humor and eye opening 6 months ago:
There is nothing to argue about. Israel today is what Ukraine would be had Putin managed to overwhelmn the Ukrainian military in the first days of the war. Israel is an illegal nation that do the same things their Arabs and Iran neighbors are doing: assasinations, extra judicial killings, genocide, religious extremism, autocracy, anti press freedom, anti freedom of speech, warmongering, hacking, illegal nukes and weapons. There is no ethical or moral reason for the West to support Israel.
- Comment on Does anyone know how to cite this in a research paper? 7 months ago:
You can’t though, unless said delusion was previously published. You can publish delusions, e.g., in an autobiography, a novel, or even a psychology thesis.

Heh. Dutch 4channers on /int/ were mercilessly mocked as skinflints for this app.
- Comment on Knowledge is... power? 7 months ago:
Qin Shi Huang was as real as Julius Caesar.
- Comment on What's it called when pronunciations are sounded out with normal letters? 7 months ago:
If a language has a better spelling system but doesn’t use it, it is a shitty language (English).
- Comment on What makes a content creator an influencer?? 7 months ago:
If I like them = creator. If I hate them = influencer. Easy as.
- Comment on Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left? 7 months ago:
Simply watch no-voiceover playthroughs on youtube to see how a game is actually like. Don’t watch the whole video if you don’t want spoilers. Goes without saying this is only possible after the game release. Wait at least 3-6 months after release before buying any game. Or pirate it.
- Comment on How to propose a girl who doesn't talk much to boys? 7 months ago:
You don’t. Get into her circle of friends/interest first. If you can’t do that, then you have no chance of a long term relationship. Use shared or group activities to shine. Show your leadership values and personality. At the same time observe her for the same. If both of you are attracted to each other, then you can start talking about dates.
- Comment on Hikikomori: The Haunting Echoes of Eugenics in Japan [16:35] 7 months ago:
Hikikomori arise from some Japanese people giving up on fitting into their very conformist society. If this was the US, they would end up shooting up a school. But in Japan, the strongest rebellion is refusing to participate in society at all.
- Comment on Immune to marketing 7 months ago:
Ads don’t actively persuade you to buy something immediately. They plant the information in your mind so that one day when you need to buy something, the first thing that comes to mind is the advertised product. Targetted ads try to shorten this period by guessing what you might need in the shortest term. Autists simply miss the information if they’re not paying attention.
- Comment on This is a PSA 7 months ago:
No. Live your life one day at a time. Worrying when things are going well is Protestant Puritan bullshit. They have a mindset that life is suffering and suffering is good because it means you will be rewarded in the Afterlife. Fuck that shit. If your life is finally comfy, ENJOY THE SHIT OUT OF IT YOU GODDAMNED MUTHERFOCKERS.
- Comment on One million years from now... 7 months ago:
Ha ha, no. In a million years, mankind would have paved the entire planet’s surface, including the oceans. Our numbers would be in the hundred billions and most will live underground. The few elites would live on the uppermost levels and even have real gardens and plants. Wildlife would be extinct, save for a few robotic simulacra in the Imperial Zoo. Ironically, you would have to go to the Outer Colonies to see some animals that are extinct on Terra.
