False equivalence.
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
It’s true it’s not as accurate, but I think it can tell for more than 1, as long as it’s not in the wrong pattern.
Also if all 4 are going flat, there is either something seriously wrong or the user hasn’t checked tire pressure for a very long time, and you still need to do that. - Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
I suppose that’s the thing that can measure the rotation with high enough accuracy, I didn’t even think of that.
So it’s based on a sensor that is already there! Very clever. 👍 - Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
What?
I’m arguing to convert to metric when posting on an international forum, because metric is the international standard.
But I’ll have you know that I often also post Imperial units when posting, because I know there are also a lot of Americans here. I’ve seen others do the same.
But Americans very rarely do that. Hence the claim about American arrogance. - Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
I must admit I’m a bit of an VW fanboy, I just bought an ID.4 and is waiting for it be ready to drive home.
It is such a brilliant piece of engineering in so many ways, I am very impressed with what VW achieved with that car.
Goddam the driving of that car is excellent! 😀 😎 - Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
Seems to me it did the job, maybe not as accurate, but it’s a way simpler system and less error prone.
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
It’s not just different, it’s less intuitive, and it’s based on other obsolete units, and it is only used by a minority.
I bet if some other country had their own national standards of measurement plastered all over the net, that you would be pretty annoyed by that too.
But somehow USA doing this shit constantly is OK because AMERICA!!Americans are fucking annoying with their constant special pleading, it’s OK to post psi or other imperial units, but for fucks sake post the metric units too that the majority is using.
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
The VW ID.4 uses actual/expected rotational speed to calculate pressure.
No sensor to ruin there. - Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 weeks ago:
This Imperial shit is getting ridiculous.
PSI = pounds per square inch.WTF Really? Anybody is using that?
They couldn’t find a more sensible unit than that completely random shit?Maybe make a standard based on HardOn I guess it would be the equivalent of about 2.3 HardOn.
For anyone not using stupid Imperial 24 psi is 1.65 bar and 50 psi is 3.45 Bar.
- Comment on Do people who have bad relationship with their parents care about "insults" like "I fucked your mom last night"? Or do you just not care? 2 weeks ago:
Or maybe just “I’m sorry, you should go get tested.”
That’s a good one. 😀

Yes, but among friends is different.

I don’t give a shit about such insults.
They just show I’m facing another moron, which I can beat intellectually with hardly any effort.
How about a reply along the lines of, OK I’m sure she enjoyed that, how was it for you to fuck a 60 year old woman?
Or alternatively: Oh were you the impotent one she mentioned?I was once in a bar in the winter where some local was trying to be diss me because we had signed up for the billiard table.
I was wearing a IMO very cool scarf, and the local walked up to me, feeling my scarf and asking if my mom had made that for me.
And I responded (truthfully) that no, it was not my mom but my sister who had made it.
He had no idea how to respond to that, because I had at once told him that no, I am not a mothers baby, but I do have a nice family.He was at a complete loss for words, and simply walked away, because he had no response to that.
Insults about family are moronic, some random stranger don’t know your family anyway, so it’s 100% made up and not worth getting offended over. On the other hand it shows an infantile mentality that can be easily manipulated if you keep your cool.
It’s so easy to throw such shit back at them doubly, and they tend to get confused, because they know they were beat with next to no effort.

I have never heard of a western democracy that has a witch hunt against homeless people to near the degree that is common in USA.
So yes the evil against homeless people is mostly limited to America. USA has become the dystopia SciFi stories warned us against since a century ago. - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Well put, that’s exactly what I mean.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
For some people sex is a minor thing, what matters is emotional closeness. You can have closeness without sex.
I think you can find someone without too much sex easily, I hear all over the place that men are actually tiring of sex just as much as many women are.
The main difference being that women often think it’s their fault when men don’t want to have sex. - Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 5 weeks ago:
Nope, not even acquainted.
- Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts? 1 month ago:
For me I have a brother, and the family resemblance for both of us to our father is pretty obvious.
I also have never detected any inconsistencies in anything my parents have told me about when I and my brother were little. - Comment on Best general ebook reader for Android? 1 month ago:
You suggest librera instead of librera???
Also linking a download link directly instead of the page that describes it is bad form.
Librera reader on F-Droid:

Women are as different as men are.
You may still meet someone who is right for you.
But you probably need to adjust your attitude. - Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 2 months ago:
I 100% dress for others, I don’t really care about clothing, and I hate to buy new clothes. I only do it because I think I may be nearing some limit of what is considered decent to wear in the presence of other people, who 100% always are better dressed than me.
The other day I was at the supermarket, and had seen they had a special offer on “plaice” I think it’s called.
Well the special offer was sold out, and I asked an employee if they had anymore.
The employee was extremely nice, and asked how many I had planned to buy? And I said 2, then he took 2 bags that had 50% more content, and wrote the price of the special offer on them, and said I should just mention his name at the register.
I though Wow that stellar service, and it was only when I came home I realized I had some of my worst pants on that are so warn they had holes in them.
I have newer pants, but I don’t like them, because they have no sway and they are some sort of stretch material to be tight, and I absolutely hate that. And I also hate shopping for clothes.Anyways because my clothes are (to put it mildly) sub par for normal people, I figured he probably thought I was some sort of destitute.
I am married, and our economy is absolutely fine, we own an almost paid out house, and we have a car that was bought cash without borrowing, and we have a good amount of money in the bank.
Anyways I don’t care, maybe because I don’t have to. I just want clothes that are comfortable.
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 months ago:
OK, that only confirms to me that he was in fact insane. There is no way we are supposed to eat only fruit, it simply doesn’t provide any real energy, but consumes as much as it yields, meaning there is no way to survive on fruit alone.
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 months ago:
So where’s does he claim to only eat fruit?
Are you confusing it with him recommending to use Apple? - Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 months ago:
You made 2 false claims, and now you say you don’t actually know what you are talking about.
Yes, I kind of figured that out already. - Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 months ago:
If lembot_0004 is a bot, it is in fact a shitty bot as was commented, that gives clearly false information.
It was clearly an error in judgement by the moderator to remove the above post.

Fructose is the element in sugar that actually taste sweet, it is also the part that is unhealthy. it acts somewhat like alcohol.
Giving similar problems and can also cause dependency. - Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Your question seems mostly nonsensical, we are not “house trained”, and what do you mean by “rather than controlled”?
Is your question based on biblical or another form of faith?But in short regarding our social behavior, the principle of it is not very different from social behaviors of other animals like dogs or chimpanzees. We “behave” because we are social animals and it’s in our DNA to work for the benefit of the the group.
Obviously misbehavior is generally rooted in conflict of interests, which can naturally occur in all groups. They are absolutely not generally a result of mania. - Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Average lifespan used to be shorter because of the amount of infant mortality.
That is completely wrong. discovermagazine.com/what-was-the-life-expectancy…
Other research reveals that the lifespan of Homo sapiens may have changed from the Middle Paleolithic to the later Upper Paleolithic, since the ratio of older to younger remains increases. The same research shows that starting about 30,000 years ago at the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic, the average lifespan began to push past 30 years.
Note that Lifespan is NOT the same as life expectancy:
my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/lifespan
Lifespan is the maximum length of time that a person can live
So 30000 years ago 30 years was pretty much the maximum age a person could achieve. Life expectancy would probably have been 15-20.
Read my other comment, the study is probably pretty close to the truth.

It’s OK, we have evolved to be intelligent enough to also evolve our society and science to enable us to live far beyond what was needed as a tribal nomadic species.
I don’t like to reveal too much personal info here, but to me you are still a child.
