- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 1 week ago:
Ads are way past the point of pissing me off so much that i just block my ears and close my eyes until they go away.
Its fucking disrespectful to expect people to just be ok with having that shit shoveled into their eye sockets.
Amazon is a tool to me to get the things i want based on need for things that i am doing or to replace things that are broken. I am not window shopping there. I am not browsing things. I know what i need. I find the cheapest one with the highest rating and buy it.

Sadly i guess it could happen to GOG too. I mean, anything you have already bought is safe but someone could step in and change the business model and end such a great thing.

Deduction? Based on what?
- Comment on Fictional 1 month ago:
When you say it “makes no sense” or it “makes more sense”… based on what? Because there was a lot of science in the comment above to base things on. But your comment seems more like its based on feels.

Im not referring to any particular cod game. Im referring to the whole series. Its triple A garbage that is churned out like pop music and its boring. Every new game is a rehash of a previous one with no innovation and more monetization.
Its not a review of the game. Its an opinion about the capitalist nature of the companies who make these games and how shit it is.

That was a great read and an interesting take. (You should write, if you don’t already, it was very engaging)
To be fair i guess i don’t take life too seriously because i know that ultimately none of it matters, but equally this short time i get to spend here is my opportunity to experience as much as possible and i don’t want to miss any of it so i have to take my life seriously and the lives of those my actions impact. Feeling anger and happiness, fear and love, pain and pleasure are all things to be taken seriously because they are all part of the ride.
If i relax too much i will miss out. It may not matter ultimately but right now in this moment it does. So i should make the most of it. But remember to be able to let go of my grudges, and enjoy the ride. And try to pass that on to others. Remind those that are so wound and tangled up that they can just let go and things will get better.
For me the meaning of life is just to live it and feel as much as possible.
- Comment on one bright second 1 month ago:
This always blows my mind to think that we are here and we are experiencing this life and in the grand scheme of things its so fleeting, but that it all came from somewhere and its all going to die eventually. Could it really be true that there will just be nothing for eternity after this? Or are we not just a random chance in a previous eternity. Can we ever really know or is it all just our best guess?
Its humbling but also makes me feel even more like life is important and should be taken seriously.

Its a fair point and i see where you are coming from but would it not also be fair to say a that a “fry up” is a colloquialism meaning full english? I would ask, where does a fry up cease to be a fry up? Whats the minimum requirements? Is eggs on toast a fry up? Eggs and sausage and beans? Sausages and bacon and toast? Or all of the above?
Or does fry up refer to how its cooked, in that it all goes in the pan? I tend to grill my bacon and sausages, fry my eggs and mushrooms, toaster my toast, microwave my beans. Is that not longer a fry up because its not all in the frying pan?
As to your point about the ingredients being common in a few places like Australia and America. Is it not fair to say that they adopted the meal and that explains the commonality? Like in england a curry is a practically a national dish, but its adopted from indian cuisine. We make it slightly differently to its country of origin but at its core the ingredients required to call it a curry are not uncommon anywhere in the world.

And you are very welcome to enjoy your specific version of a full english. 😀
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 months ago:
Historically there is no set version of a full english. What you describe is just your version. It will be, entirely, a social construct. This is why the full english varies so much, its different traditions in different areas and families being passed down, giving everyone a different vision of what it is.
Its similar to how everyone has their own christmas traditions, or how fish and chips in the north tend to be more traditionally served with gravy mushy peas and bread+butter. Whereas in the south, typically, they are sold with just ketchup or mayonnaise. But again, not exclusively. They only requirement is a fash and some chips. Everything else is just a variation of that but still counts.
This is why i belive that there only needs to be a few core ingredients for a full english to qualify as a full english. After that its all tradition and preference.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 months ago:
I think that a full english isn’t an exclusionary meal. I think there are a few factors it needs to be in the category of full english but that there are many variations and additions or subtractions that still count.
In my opinion the only things required for a full english are any 4 of the following:
- fried eggs
- sausages
- bacon
- beans
- toast
Anything less is not “full” and anything more is a variation of the full english.
Hash browns? Sure! ulsterfry? Go for it! Mushrooms? Absolutely! Tomatoes (grilled of course) yes please! Black pudding (not for me) bring it on!
But there is no singular thing that makes it a full english, it just has to have enough of the core ingredients to meet the criteria.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 months ago:
I guess because otherwise you have something more akin to communism.
Which is a big scary monster and the biggest economies in the world would rather suppress a system the levels the playing field and helps everyone than give up their dollary-doos.
I think about this from time to time.
Its like, hey we make a product and it costs this much to make and we make this much profit, so that should be it. Thats how much this product makes. Dunzo. Next muffin. But it never works that way, once they have found the sweet spot where the product is useful and works well whilst also selling for a price that pays for production development and wages then it becomes about cutting costs to increase profits and that takes the form of using cheaper materials, paying lower wages, firing staff, incorporating planned obsolescence so people need to buy more. All in the name of profits and bonuses.
Its disgusting, it damages society, the environment and warps peoples minds so that people like donald trump exist and i hate it.
