I’m European so I’m out of the loop. Do you actually have 17% interest rates? I’m getting 2% over here.
- Comment on Thank me later... 1 week ago:
Yeah I made a mistake. The proper calculation for an increase by 80%, then 300%, then 1400% should be
x*(1+0.80)(1+3.00)(1+14.00) =
x1.84*15 = 108 = 10800%

The trick is to time the cocaine and crystal meth ingestion so that they peak at the same time that you orgasm, leading to an 80% * 300% * 1400% = 7460% dopamine increase.
- Comment on *Jarvis, arm the valediction* 2 weeks ago:
That’s different; it implies one of:
- The amount of respect that is due amounts to zero.
- Some amount of respect/disrespect is due, but you are not offering that amount of respect.
- Comment on *Jarvis, arm the valediction* 2 weeks ago:
“With all due respect” and “with all due disrespect” both contain the exact same amount of respect.

I thought I was in the target audience until I found it requires a paid subscription to tell my friends I just pooped.

- Comment on No excuses 1 month ago:
Well, it has been my experience that kindness is in the eye of the beholder.
- Comment on No excuses 1 month ago:
You don’t know what someone is going through, and everybody is the way they are because of a background that they didn’t choose.
That said, sometimes being unkind is the most effective way of pushing people toward a better path.
- Comment on they all start out the same but in a month they figure it out 1 month ago:
Indeed. This is their job and they’re using company resources to pay someone else to do it for them.

- Comment on Necessary post procedure care for vasectomy 1 month ago:
IIRC was prescribed like 30 ejaculations over the course of two months. I could be wrong about the exact number but I remember thinking I had to actually put an effort and some consistency in it if I was going to hit the target.

Fun fact: if a woman eats only hamburgers through her entire pregnancy, then she will have created a human being out of hamburgers.
- Comment on Exposing the billion dollar secret most VPN companies don't want you to know 2 months ago:
I find that hard to believe. There are several US websites that have blocked the EU entirely because they don’t want to spend resources on following EU regulations. If what you say is true it would be more beneficial for them to just not do anything. Getting fewer EU visitors is better than getting none at all.
- Comment on Exposing the billion dollar secret most VPN companies don't want you to know 2 months ago:
To do business in the EU, surely they still must follow EU regulations even if they’re seated in another country. Just like with the cookie warnings that the entire world has had to adapt to.

Aren’t VPN:s subject to exactly the same laws as ISP:s? My ISP only records precisely as much as the law requires and throws it away as soon as permitted.
