These days, there is nothing abnormal anymore about a 4channer in highschool with a self-centered and entitled world view, low work ethics and a video gaming hobby. He is the normie. The guy who volunteers in a soup kitchen and takes active care of his own body is the one who dares to stand out and be different.

Depends on the circumstances. Sometimes in really old buildings, changes to the layout are made at some point, and then you are left with some old door somewhere where no door is needed anymore, so you just seal the door shut and leave it in place. In that case, it would be no big deal to put a bathtub there.

How about when they say “a phenomena”?

How is that supposed to remove lead and mercury from the food supply? If you use that as fertilizer, the heavy metals will still be in there, and like get picked up by your crops…

Generally yes, but what’s shown here isn’t, it only looks a bit like it if you ignore the clearly spelled out context.

Unlike with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, with Dawkins, I would be quite surprised if he brought that up without being quite specifically asked about it…

- Comment on Teams apparently can't call when using Firefox 1 year ago:
There is more information in there that isn’t actually true and only supposed to trick some old web servers into treating it a certain way than there is actually correct information,
It mentions three different browsers, only one of which is actually true, and three different rendering engines, none of which is actually what’s used.

50 Euros a day is insane. That’s a good portion of what I pay for a whole month.

I get the joke, but in contrast to heating, you can easily just… not run demanding games while the electricity is insanely expensive for a day.
- Comment on This page in my kid’s book from school to learn how to read. 1 year ago:
Using “they” when you haven’t yet established the group you are referring to in context feels weird and kinda wrong, especially if it’s about a group of inanimate objects. It really looks like the word should have been “there”, but they just mistyped and then didn’t catch the error in the editing process or didn’t bother to correct it.
