  Requires someone wants to hire you, otherwise it’s still illegal, and you can go to jail, even if you don’t take anything, and reveal it to the company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was going on in England in the 1970s to give Monty Python so much comedy fodder that is still relevant today?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lot’s of things were going on in the 70’s. The peace movement, people living together in collective housing, higher sexual freedom and more flexible sexual identity, generally rebelling against authorities, cannabis becoming popular. All this was also expressed in art, music, paintings and movies.

  In UK this may have been further emphasized by a very backwards school system, with many attending boarding schools and wearing uniforms.
  Something I remember when attending public school in Denmark in the 70’s as extremely backwards compared to conditions here.

  Why don’t Russia just fuck off and go home? And while they are at it, give Crimea back.
  That’s the only fair peace for Ukraine. But even if Ukraine agree to give up territory, Russia want territory they don’t currently control. Which is decidedly brain dead of them.
  The only fair peace is to give Ukraine a shitload of weapons so they can fight back Russia.

  Ah you must be a lion then, they are always so aloof.
  Just kidding, it’s nonsense and I don’t believe it one single bit…

  But ARE you a lion?

  If yes: I KNEW IT! It was so obvious!
  If no I’m x: Ah that explains why I mistook you for a Lion. They have many of the same traits.

  Absolutely, sharing horoscopes during lunch break used to be very common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could also ask why we have sexuality at all, and since we do, why isn’t it evenly spread across the spectrum?
  Obviously there are mechanisms that guide our sexuality and gender identification, and they are not 100% the same for all men or all women.
  It’s simply a natural mechanism with some variance that occur in most things.
  Why are some people introvert?, Why are some people tall? Why are some people strong and others fast?

  It’s like when you ask how magnets work, and it turns out they kind of work like everything else.

  That’s fine, we buy firewood every year, Now I will absolutely prioritize a dealer using Buffalox units for it.

  It makes me so proud to now be a part of the Imperial system, I may even switch to using it. 😋

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No need to boil the ocean⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes that is absolutely true, and since it’s milk there will be a few percent variance it requires slightly less. But still very good to get the ballpark easy, to check a more accurate calculation isn’t way off because some typo or something.
  Easy calculation between heat, energy, weight and volume is so cool, and actually quite often practical to make quick estimates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No need to boil the ocean⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  200° F is 93 C.
  And now we have it converted to Metric, we can easily calculate that heating 1 liter, is 1000 grams = 1000 calories per degree it needs heated, so if it was cooled at 5° C you would need 88000 calories to heat it to 93° C.

  Isn’t Metric funny. 😀

  IMO 99% of Phallus claims are infantile amateur psychology. To call something that grows naturally, and isn’t even man made a Phallus symbol is particularly weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there as much enthusiasm for Trump online today as eight years ago?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Xmas trees are originally a northern European solstice or Yule tradition. Because there was very little green in the winter.
  Probably it was to celebrate the end of the days getting shorter, and a sort of marking of a new year, and to be reminded of the greener more pleasant seasons.

  I have no idea where you have the idea from, that it should be a Phallus symbol?

  Logically it favors the rich, just like every other aspect of society.
  So I guess it’s no more insane than so many other aspects of society, like how Musk can get paid more by Tesla than every single worker working there.

  Remember in 2016 there were LGBT for Trump?
  It was absolutely insane!! No it doesn’t make sense, but there are always a percentage that are delusional, and sometimes they manage to convince others.
  Probably there are people who actually believe they don’t deserve equal rights, this can be indoctrinated through religion, and religiousness in USA is VERY high.
  There are probably also people who don’t see themselves as part of one of the groups even if they clearly are.
  Remember the MAGA woman who was extremely surprised when her husband was expelled because he was an illegal alien? That’s how stupid people can be!
  Because it’s “all the others” not “me” they think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t seem realistic. I don’t see how you can vote for Trump 2024, and claim to be a moderate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I agree, but only because they are a capitalists first and a human beings second.
  They love him because they are morons, who don’t know they are engaging in self harm.
  It’s sad that people of power, like for instance Elon Musk and the people behind Fox are so stupid they can’t see they are digging their own graves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  USA as a society is mentally ill, where sociopathy is often seen as a virtue. For instance denying poor people health care and food, denying pregnant women with potentially lethal complications the right to abortion. Allowing (white) people to kill (black) people without reason based on stand your ground rules. Refusing stricter gun rules despite countless school shootings.

  The list of sociopathy permeating US society goes on and on.
  Now I know that despite this, about half the population see the problems. The other half, somehow confuse Trump’s sociopathy with strength, and admire him for it. Yes this is how it is in USA, sociopathy is widely admired, people want Trump to hurt people, the poor, emigrants, people of color, LGBT. Many Americans want all these people to suffer, for no other reason than their mere existence. Somehow this is OK to even extend to women in general too.

  If you are a normal well functioning person, it’s near impossible to grasp that hate can be this widespread, and Trump is fueling it, and before him Republicans have been fueling it for decades.

  This makes all the hateful illegal stuff Trump does nearly irrelevant, people simply don’t care, they just want to see the people they hate burn. It’s not that Trump isn’t called out at times, it’s just that it doesn’t really make a difference.

  You are 100% right, the downvote must be some creationist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a thing that evolved among humans over millions of years. Men evolved bigger stronger muscles, because women are more vulnerable during pregnancy, and infants need their mother to survive.
  Making men more available for the more dangerous task of protection and hunting.
  So by the numbers, we evolved those roles, because it improved chances of survival for the group.
  Males are more aggressive, because it actually help the group to survive short term attacks and hunting for food, and women are cautious because that helps infants and the group survive long term.
  It all boils down to survival of our ancestors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes obviously there are women serial killers too, I never claimed there isn’t, I just claimed women are less prone to violence, which is a damned hard statistical fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing with serial killing, is that it is very difficult to hide.
  Some of the hardest cases can be for instance a nurse at a hospital killing in a way that appear natural.
  But even that gets detected quicker than you would think, because while 1 killing can be a fluke death, already at 2 killings, it can throw off the statistics and cause an investigation. With 3 it’s almost impossible the incidents can’t be tracked back to the person who did it.
  An other situation can be a woman who kill their husband for inheritance, and then does it a second time. That second time is usually enough for alarm bells to sound for families of the deceased. Resulting in more thorough police investigations.

  Obviously it can happen they get away with it, but I’m confident by far the most serial killers are caught, because it’s insanely difficult to hide multiple killings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come it seems that there are little to no serial killers who are women in the modern age? Are they not caught or is it just the men that make the news?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s impossible to know why more serials are men

  I disagree, it’s part of a pattern where men are generally more violent than women.

  For all we know, the numbers could be the same, and women are just better at getting away with it.

  No this is NOT a possibility, since serial killers are generally caught.
