is a massive ask.
No, it’s not. It’s a massive request. When you punch out and leave the car lot, be sure to use regular English.

Still not a word.
- Comment on Why does most of the US blame Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 attacks? Al-Qaeda may have been trained there but that doesn't makes Saudi's responsible does it? 1 week ago:
Saudi’s
Saudis

But the brain on glucose goes brrrrrr.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I HAVE sent a cover letter, and it WAS mentioned in the callback. Mind you, I drop Easter eggs into them for fun. “Look. I’m an 80% for for this job on day 1; 90% if I’m on enough caffeine. Let’s talk” etc. I shouldn’t write them at 1am.
- Comment on Police officer, 19, dies from crash injuries 1 week ago:
Because she was doing public good at the time? I get it’s super fetch to be ACAB and generalize and such, so you may not value cops as emergency workers until you need one, but leave room for other people to respect emergency workers in a burnout-prone job.
- Comment on AI Data Centers’ Water Consumption Breaks 264 Billion Gallons in 2025 as Devastating Drought Hits Nearly 63% of U.S. 2 weeks ago:
Ai Data Centers’
No. Water-cooled Data Centers did this.
Call out the transgressors for their transgression and stop the dilution and transferrence of the real problem.
Cool your shit with air.

What’s a ‘gallon’ in normal volume measurements?
- Comment on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Daughters Are Still Receiving Rent-Free Royal Accommodation 2 weeks ago:
They pull in a LOT of rent-money. I bet they don’t need to pay much rent themselves.
- Comment on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Daughters Are Still Receiving Rent-Free Royal Accommodation 2 weeks ago:
As one of the largest land-owners, I’m surprised they’re ‘benefit scroungers’. Did someone tell you they’re dole kings?
- Comment on Abusive passengers could be blacklisted from all airlines under new proposal 3 weeks ago:
It can be both.
But not like this.
- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 3 weeks ago:
I forgot. What charges did Spacey get?
- Comment on How privatisation is ruining your life and putting the UK out of step with the modern world 3 weeks ago:
Not necessarily privatisation in general.
Oh, I think it’s both, in such a case, because - and this is just logic - when the organization providing a human service is beholden first to shareholders and the salary needs of big CEOs, the service provided to the people suffers in that back seat.
This has been proved repeatedly and consistently.
- Comment on Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it? 3 weeks ago:
My day job periodically kills the VPN. I reconnect when next time I notice it. It stays on for like 3 days at a time.
But, since I need it for the day job, the answer to your question is “yes” as in both.

- Comment on Does anybody actually work from 09:00 to 17:00 5 weeks ago:
Unionized IT.
0800-1647 , and it’s generally firm; but we do take time to bottle and checkpoint our work if we didn’t get to it before then.
OT needs a ticket and is charged out to the .1 hour. Standby has a shitty hourly rate, but at least there is one. They may not expect us to be sober/available otherwise.

- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 5 weeks ago:
I’ll downvote that too.
It seems to #bothsides an issue via a lot of hyperbole, and risks straw-manning one side just for a favourable comparison.
I don’t colour myself a tankie, but I do live in a more socialist country than America - low bar, such as it is. I sense I’m not in a position to properly understand how your argument can make sense, but the kneejerk comparison I feel needs some explanation before just throwing that smelly fish out there.
It’s not cut-and-dried, but presented as such. It’s not helpful and relevant by itself. Thus, downvote.
- Comment on Would you want to be Michael Jackson-level famous? Why or why not? 5 weeks ago:
The rule is to always be richer than you are famous – for any value.
Thus, if I was Michael Jackson famous, I would need to be several-private-islands rich.
Of course, I wouldn’t have an island. But the bunker at the resort I own would be insane.

Done.
- Comment on systemd 1 month ago:
To kids, anyone with 15 years in is “old”.
Guess what they called us when we pointed out the procedural failures in its design? Yep: old.
Meanwhile I’m just here booting my sysV box reliably and not cringing about HUPping dbus. I’ve never seen as frail a shit bag as a Systemd-afflicted install.
- Comment on systemd 1 month ago:
‘new standards’ vs ‘dunning-kruger-based decisions you are locked into’. Sure.
- Comment on systemd 1 month ago:
Systemd ‘haters’ are the people who know better and learned from best-practice.
Systemd ‘haters’ are no more haters than your parents who told you not to eat candy all day we’re candy haters.
- Comment on RIP social media. What comes next is messy. 1 month ago:
minimal acceptable set of politics.
I like how you said “minimal”, like it’s a floor and not a flavour.
No-no, it’s perfect like that. Don’t dare change it.
