So you mean the Tories are also assholes? Tell me something I didn’t know

Oh it’s a problem here to. You do not want to know how much information is passed on through rapidly scrawled sticky notes in our healthcare system - particularly in emergency situations.

Touché lol
- Comment on Underrepresentation 2 weeks ago:
To be fair - a whole month of anything is excessive
- Comment on Endangered Species 3 weeks ago:
The real protip is always in the comments 👍
- Comment on The world’s 8 richest billionaires have the same wealth as the poorest 50% of the global population of 3.8 billion people 4 weeks ago:
Not necessarily. Folks in developed countries have much greater opportunities to rack up debt and large negative equity. I would not be surprised if the bottom % are made up of students and gamblers that in practice have a far higher standard of living due to their access to money, relative to the developing world where people with a “net 0” balance are starving to death.
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 1 month ago:
/u/SpontaneousH
Archived that shit - read it when I was a teen and it convinced me to stay far away from drugs and addiction.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 1 month ago:
On the one hand, I sympathize - on the other, it’d be awesome to find someone who shares my interests.
- Comment on Anon reaches a new level 1 month ago:
I just remind myself that I’d rather be lonely than together with certain people.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
I literally own a bit of stock in the most nuclear-power-related company in my country - so yes.
- Comment on It's important to get a good interest rate 1 month ago:
Hi!
I’m the Swede with a CC, right here :)
Now you’ve heard of someone using one (mwahahaha)
In all fairness, it’s not exactly something people talk about - and for the record, I’ve never ended up paying any interest on the card. It’s just convenient, offering a layer of protection for charges, makes it easier for me to track spendings, and allows me to be earning interest on my paycheck by keeping it in a savings account until I need to balance the CC.
- Comment on The Eurobean Mind Cannot Comprehend 2 months ago:
Yep, doing that drive in that time would essentially require at least two people taking shifts driving - or one dangerous madman on some kind of drugs.
- Comment on Anon is in love 2 months ago:
“So how did they end up being defeated?”
“Well, we pacified them by giving them the love and affection that they refused to give each other.”
“Wait really?”
“Yes, the majority were so starved for an emotional connection that they preferred us.”
“Where are they now?”
“The majority are withering away in VR warehouses, living ‘happily ever after’.”

Do you call camping in a campground a “family vacation” ?
I would…
Sure, we never had the latest and greatest, fixed stuff ourselves and such, but we lived in a home that my parents owned and never really wanted for anything. That, to me, feels like a middle-class upbringing, and is what I’d like to be able to provide my own kids when I have them. However, right now the prospect of owning my own home seems increasingly far-fetched.
- Comment on Chicago begins evicting migrants from shelters as residents decry a 'lack of respect' 3 months ago:
…and that, folks, is exactly how the EU ended up having a huge resurgence in nationalism and anti-immigration policies in the past ten years!
- Comment on How can a person be very sad, irritated or angry and still not show it on their face ? 3 months ago:
Had the same thing for a long time. Took me years to rehabilitate myself.
- Comment on Is my voice annoyingly high? 3 months ago:
Sounds fine to me.
I also dislike listening to my own voice, so you’re not alone in that :)
- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 3 months ago:
I didn’t know that, sounds incredibly dystopian tbh. Guess I’ll have to keep my dinosaur of a car running as long as possible.
- Comment on If you work for a gig app in the US they make you go thru this charade when doing taxes where you're treated and taxed as an independent business owner. joke country 5 months ago:
Try IRS free fillable forms.
A bit of a hassle to learn at the start, but you actually learn how to do the taxes yourself, and it’s 100% free.
- Comment on How to burn belly fat if I have cervical spondylosis and scoliosis? 5 months ago:
Swimming can be a type of exercise that puts less strain on your back. That and just eating less.
- Comment on Why are so many countries in the world “developing” and poor, while essentially only Western countries have a high standard of living? 5 months ago:
That’s a general pattern though - sea transport is the most efficient, thus railroads will tend to integrate around important ports. It applies even in the UK.
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 5 months ago:
Hmmm, maybe we should add a few more seats, more wheels, some protection from the elements, somewhere to put your luggage… oof this got heavy. Maybe something to power it as well?
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 5 months ago:
I don’t have a death wish
- Comment on [Steam] Which lesser known games have you bought or are planning to buy in this sale? 5 months ago:
Gave this one as a gift - Opus Magnum.
Fun and satisfying production puzzler.
- Comment on How do you exit a dream? 8 months ago:
If I’m dreaming, there’s always arope hanging by my right shoulder. Just reach up and pull it to wake up.
- Comment on Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community? 10 months ago:
Old but gold, the Longest Journey, since you seem to want something story centered.
