- Comment on Zelenskiy news is a farce and it is infuriating to see Goebbels' Garbage here 1 month ago:
I’ll bite.
You haven’t watched the whole thing did you?
True. For several reasons.
First of all it was Trump who wanted and came up with the deal, why would it be “a setup and they never planned for the deal to go through”?
That is a VERY common political method. “Stupid” suggestions that will never get accepted comes up every day for various reasons.
1). Trump said USA gave most money to Ukraine, Z said no they didn’t, EU gave more, Trump said no we did, Z started arguing, Trump smiled, said well discuss it later, patted Z on the back.
What was he supposed to do? Just accept it? If he does fight the lies, more people will think that Trump is right.
Now people saw that Trump had nothing to back up his claim.
2). Zelensky said the war was between Ukraine and Russia, and that USA could be allowed in negotiation after peace as a partner… And I think this really pissed off Vance and Trump.
And how is that a mistake?
3). Zelensky said that “maybe if you believe the Russian lies,” in response to one of Trump’s statements, as if he was on r/politics.
Sounds interesting, I’d like to see that part. Can you provide a link with a timestamp? I tried finding it myself but found nothing.
4). he trotted out those pictures, with that condescending tone, acting like Trump is just a big orange dummy that needs his kindergarten lesson in war. He literally talks to Trump like he is a child while handing him the pictures.
It is very common to re-enact when the cameras are on. This was Trumps chance to show compassion.
I just rewashed that bit trying to see it from your angle, and I don’t see it at. He spelled out some stuff that any world leader shouldn’t need to be told, I assume that was for the cameras.
Although you could be right, that Zelensky is approaching Trumps childish language. But even if that is true, how is this something that would upset Trump? Most people appreciate when you use their own way of communication, except when their way is some variation of bullying.

For a while I couldn’t use voice to tell my car that I wanted to go home.
In my country we have a chain of real estate agencies called “Home”, and it would show my navigation to the nearest branch.
Annoying, since almost every second trip I take is going home.
(I use navi for traffic info.)
- Comment on The IT Crowd: Jen has been transported 1 month ago:
Yes, it IS a big deal. Someone was hired to do the translation. Either by hand, or quality-check machine translation.
That someone is either not very good at English, or don’t have time to do it right.
And this is where my nostalgia kicks in. Why aren’t people doing it right anymore. Why is it so often just good enough to not get too many complaints. And why do we keep buying for these low quality services and products, instead of spending our money on fewer better products.
And yes, I know I’m part of the problem. I can get an X that seems good. Or I can get another X that seems almost as good, and the savings is enough to pay the airplane ticket to see my family on another continent. At least if I use the cheapest airline…

You are arguably insulted and neglected.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 4 months ago:
But in both cases they need landlords, right?

Until that exists, we need landlords. Right?

On the other hand, rented homes has lots of demand, and that is only possible if someone else owns it.
Landslords provides a service that people need. Although not all landlords does it well.
- Comment on The number on this sticker... 5 months ago:
So 1920 rows x 1080 columns.
No, it’s definitely 1920 columns and 1080 rows.
So yeah the sticker is right but OP is wrong.
I don’t know what the sticker is trying to say. I can read it in two ways, and one of then is correct while the other is definitely wrong. And that is unnecessarily confusing, and therefore mildly infuriating.
I don’t know what you think OP is wrong about.
- Comment on The number on this sticker... 5 months ago:
These numbers refer to the rows, so the horizontal resolution.
Yes, that is the number of rows. But that makes it the vertical resolution. There’s 1080 pixels from top to bottom. If the arrows/triangles are indicating the direction of measurement, they are wrong.
I suspect that it’s an attempt at indicating a wide screen. 16:9, 16:10 etc was fairly new at the time, many buyers would be expecting their usual 4:3 screen ratio.

They can just leave it at full.
- Comment on Sorry to be a bother... 6 months ago:
I believe scientific studies say it’s somewhere around half of each.
The reason you don’t see that, is because it’s considered socially unacceptable to get socially drained, so we learn to hide it, usually from very young.
- Comment on My word game had some weird archaic racist word as one of the answers. 7 months ago:
I think we are somewhat on the same page here. What matters isn’t the word you use, it’s the intention behind, which is hopefully obvious from context.
When I get called a nerd, my response goes anywhere between being proud and being insulted depending on context. The word itself has no emotion by itself.
Shouldn’t it be the same with many of these words that some people consider racist?
- Comment on Yelp is making me get their app to confirm my restaurant reservation 7 months ago:
Their circle of friends may not be like yours.
I know plenty of people like what you are describing (always near at least one phone), but they are still impossible to reach quickly. Even when they expect a call, they can have their phone in Do Not Disturb mode. Or they ran out of battery, and didn’t think to turn it on after plugging it in. Most of the time I have no idea what the issue is.
Also, he might live in an area with few options. Specially on short notice. Maybe the closest alternative with a somewhat similar style is far away, so even if you can get a reservation , not everybody will be able to get there before dinner time.
Basically, when he says it’s hard for him, maybe just trust that he knows his life better than you do.
- Comment on Well THAT'S super helpful! 🤦 7 months ago:
unless you pay for a “service” that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.
Here it’s cheaper to get it delivered to a pick-up place near my home. I’ll just pick it up on the way home from work, almost as easy as getting stuff from my own mailbox.
- Comment on Anon reflects on e-sports 9 months ago:
Because it draws those “pixels” as the signal reaches the monitor. When half of a frame is transmitted to a CRT monitor, it’s basically half way done making it visible.
An LCD monitor needs to wait for the entire frame to arrive, before it can be processed and then made visible.
Sometimes the monitor will wait for several frames to arrive before it processes them. This enables some temporal processing. When you put a monitor in gaming mode, it disables (some of) this.
- Comment on Capitalism indoctrination in progress. 1 year ago:
There’s two kinds of money: Enough money, and more than enough money.
If you don’t have enough money, that’s all that matters. A nicer day at work means very little.
Once you have enough money, more money matters very little. Now it’s about enjoying work etc.
