Can’t beat Pratchett when it comes to wise words.
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 6 days ago:
Billionaires do that all the time. Still living the way life.
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 1 week ago:
There are times when there are objectively bad opinions. For instance - and very on-topic, showing support for a conglomerate that is actively acting against your best interests.
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 1 week ago:
Naaah. If you were a trillionaire, you’d have activated the cheat code to be wealthy for at least 4 generations, and who cares about your great-grandkids really?

How much do you want to invest in ammo and a solid backing wall?
- Comment on Why do women in golf wear those short/skirt things while the men wear pants? 1 week ago:
I see what you did that. Nicely done.
- Comment on Is ASHDOL a good company for an external cd/dvd drive? 1 week ago:
Do the smart thing, save up a bit more money to afford a more reputable, verified unit. Don’t gamble on a clearly rubber-stamped brand. They’re rarely worth it.
- Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe? 1 week ago:
There can be exceptions to the rule, but there are plenty of indicators with problems occurring in the current film and video game markets that spell out Americans would soon let children see graphic violence than the hideous abomination that is the human nipple.

Police state
- Comment on Would a disk shaped planet have uniform gravity like earth or would it vary depending on whether you're near the center or edges? 4 weeks ago:
I was hoping to find this
- Comment on Why do celebs commit crimes and such like Tony Romo and his DWI? He had a 180 million dollar deal. Why not hire a driver or stay at home and buy ridiculous shit? 4 weeks ago:
Because people get bored and there’s no minimum IQ requirement to being a celebrity. If anything, news headlines over multiple decades would imply the opposite.
- Comment on If you could use a Rube Goldberg like contraption on any task you find extremely strenuous, what would it be? 4 weeks ago:
Bureaucracy.
- Comment on Meal Replacement Drink Suggestions? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve found Huel to be pretty decent. You mileage may vary for taste and availability though.
- Comment on What stratgies do you have for dealing with people who "live in your head rent free"? 5 weeks ago:
Same as land scalpers do to anyone who doesn’t pay rent; kick them out
- Comment on PlayStation 5 Bounty for Alternate OS installation 1 month ago:
Same logic as any control freak; anything less than 100% control isn’t good enough.
- Comment on PlayStation 5 Bounty for Alternate OS installation 1 month ago:
For what it’s worth, the bounty is headed by Louis Rossman who’s been a loud voice in the Right to Repair movement with the help of his employer FUTO. The lack of requirement to release publicly is likely so help against anyone who might find the exploit feeling like they’ll become a target for Sony’s lawyers.

Tomato, tomahto. OP is still presenting it as fact.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Because you have a bias?
- Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 1 month ago:
I can’t agree on Schuko because I always found them to be awkward to plug in, sometimes needing to wiggle them while applying an uncomfortable amount of force.
- Comment on Why are plug sockets region locked? 1 month ago:
As a Brit, I’m guessing their issues with earthing is that we make everything to have a earth post, even when it’s not needed on a device, but the longer prong that is the earth post on our 3-pin plugs is a security feature of our plug/socket and makes any item that requires earthing to be earthed before it is even powered.
Couldn’t say why they have issues with ring mains though. It became the norm in a post-war Britain when copper was still scarce.
- Comment on How come in America Cunt is such a egregious word but not the same in Europe? 1 month ago:
That might explain it better. In other places, we don’t discriminate, we apply ‘cunt’ to men as well as women. Example: That cunt in the white Audi has been hogging the overtaking lane for 3 miles.
- Comment on America and it's racism and Israel? 1 month ago:
May I suggest the belief system of KeepThemOverThereism?
- Comment on In this day in age is it still hard for a person to "come out the closest" ? Or do we need the boomer generation to go away until it is so acceptable it becomes laughable for both parties? 1 month ago:
*In this day and age
- Comment on 62 Percent Of Countries Won't Have Access To The PlayStation Store On Digital-Exclusive PS6 1 month ago:
It’s interesting to see Sony currently doing basically everything any business school would advise again.
On the off-chance we’ve got any of the brain dead apologists in here, does it not seem odd the CEO sold his shares? Food for thought…
- Comment on Is Nord VPN worth it? 1 month ago:
Still much cheaper and has verified no-logs since the acquisition.
- Comment on What is with America and the #9? For example stuff cost something like 9.99 or 3 payments of 39.99 or 9 out of 10 doctors or dentists or whomever agree? 1 month ago:
It really hurts to hear people can be this stupid.
- Comment on If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone? 1 month ago:
It’s an easy process to install KOReader on Kobos, though that’s ultimately to have more options. The Kobo software is already decently capable and doesn’t shove ads down your throat like Kindle does.
- Comment on Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise? 1 month ago:
Couldn’t agree more. During my time in Canada, I was spending 5x the money for 1/10th of the plan I’ve currently got, and that was the best I could find at the time.
- Comment on When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving? 1 month ago:
The biggest cause of death with any kind of fire is smoke inhalation, not the fire itself. Comparatively, it’s uncommon for people to be still long enough to burn to death.
- Comment on Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise? 1 month ago:
No idea where you are, but I have experience with European services, US and Canadian. In all of them Unlimited calls and texts are the first perk to come along, even at a weedly 200MB data plan.
