- Comment on Fictional 4 days 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. 
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 6 days ago:Ahh, sorry im so dumb sometimes. I think i spent too long on reddit in the before times and see any text as starting a fight :p 
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 1 week ago: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. 
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 1 week ago:Nah, cod is an objectively bad game. Fight me

- Comment on one bright second 1 week ago: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 week 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. 
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago: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. 
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:And you are very welcome to enjoy your specific version of a full english. 😀 
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks 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 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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. 
- Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things. 3 weeks ago:Yeah, some more news is one of my favourites. I tend to listen to it like a podcast when i am driving to and from work. But the visuals help sometimes. Its a great showdy. 
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 4 weeks ago:It really was. If i recall it was smoked for 4 hours and came with this lovely korean style ketchup. 
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 4 weeks ago:😞 i know. 
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 4 weeks ago:Even worse was mine was actually pork belly :( 
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 4 weeks ago:Porkius :( 
- Comment on Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform 5 weeks ago:Isnt the difference that money is valued against something tangible. Like gold, oil or data. The strength of a countries currency is based on how much of these things it has. Whereas crypto isn’t valued against anything other than thoughts and prayers. If people think it has value then it has value. Until people no longer think it does, at which point it tanks and you are no longer rich. It’s the same as those NFTs. Sure you can make money in crypto, you can exchange it for traditional money if you play the game well. But that doesnt mean crypto has any inherent value. 
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 1 month ago:My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn’t my wife have to put it down? I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don’t have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 month ago:I only just started playing for the first time last week or 2 weeks ago, that mantis boss was tough but i managed it after many attempts. Each time i returned i played better. Little tip for you, in the arena, before starting the fight, wall climb up the left hand wall and attack upwards at the ceiling a few times and a hole opens with those blue blobs that give you temporary extra hit points. They respawn if you die so you can always start the fight with a few extra hits. Only other tip is remain calm and the fight will feel slower. 
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 month ago:Have you played the fist one? I had it as a free game on psn for ages but never played it. Gave it a go last week (didnt even know about silksong or anything about the game other than the genre) and was immediately hooked. I’ve played every day since then and am nearly at the end. I’m now very hyped to complete and buy silksong. Regardless, I understand your comment. People get excited about good games. Genre, art style, or how many D’s its got doesn’t make a difference if the game has substance. Fun isn’t bound to genre. 
- Comment on Thank G*d I grew up in the 90s. Everything is woke now. Smh my head 1 month ago:I see what you mean. Yeah, the internet was a better place back then. I was coming from more of a stance of the tech behind the internet. When someone could ruin my game of ultima online by picking up the phone. When niche message boards existed and msn messenger was how i spoke to my friends. 
- Comment on Thank G*d I grew up in the 90s. Everything is woke now. Smh my head 1 month ago:That was 2006. Youtube came out december 15th 2005. Facebook became available to general public in september 2006. Look, hsres a graph 2005 was roughly the end of the internet dark ages, but it was barely different to the 90s. 
- Comment on Thank G*d I grew up in the 90s. Everything is woke now. Smh my head 1 month ago:2005 was essentially the 90s. People were still talking about the matrix, playing n64 and ps1, barely anyone had a mobile phone and most internet connections were still dial up.

- Comment on Metal genres 1 month ago:I think its fair to say i have a favourite genre, or multiple favourites, but that is no longer exclusive or exclusionary. All music is welcome, i will no longer judge a song by its genre. I attribute the change to having different social groups in my life. When i was in school i was into rock and thwn metal and that was pretty much the only thing i liked. Later i got in with a crowd that was more into techno, dnb, dubstep, house, minimal etc and grew to appreciate it, around the same time i was playing in bands and learning the blues, and got into jazz more recently. Always liked classical because of my piano lessons when i was young. It opened my mind up to so much more. Except pop :)
