  It’s Clefairy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, olives are different. Most of our fruit are descendants of wild fruit that are bland, tasteless, poorly textured at worst. Stuff that’d make you say “meh I don’t care for this”, not “I’d rather taste my own vomit”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s olives for me. Raw, fresh olives are absolutely disgusting. Insanely bitter. Straight up inedible until it’s essentially pickled, which is what we actually eat. Crazy that someone ate that shit off the branch and went “I can fix this” instead of just writing the entire tree off as junk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I genuinely can't wait for Mobile Linux to become a thing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re pretty common and the functionality is often not even obscure. Plenty of ROMs out there are unable to make full use of the fancy cameras on some phones because of driver issues. That’s not an insignificant thing. I’ve seen NFC and e-sim being unavailable as well, which are also not very obscure features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True art is polarizing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t know what the fuck data-eating aliens are supposed to be, but I ain’t watching that shit to understand. I just hope Brent Spiner is ok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨change_org⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To think an evil African warlord was allowed to get away with it because of some silly laws against public masturbation or indecent exposure or whatever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These totally legitimate comments⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything good comes in threes. 2 emojis would have been too few, and 4 emojis would have been exhausting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar powered personal umbrella with battery?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not gonna be lining a flexible handheld device with the kind of solar panels that can achieve such efficiencies even under ideal conditions. If you want an actual parasol rather than an unwieldy, rigid, parasol shaped bed for a bunch of solar panels, this is a job for the more alternative solar cell types that are cheaper and less efficient, but can be made thinner and lighter, and can be stuck on something like that. Unfortunately those generally have piss poor efficiency and they degrade to near uselessness very quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product..⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The cap also says “by using”, so you have been outlawyered. You’ve been had. Your have forfeited all your rights. You are now a property of Big Protein. Better luck next time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It’s not your job to enforce traffic rules.

  These are the tampons they stick into female bulls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nvidia drivers at least do something that are fairly complex and heavy, and they’re necessary. Whereas this thing is just some comically overdeveloped and extremely annoying piece of bloatware from Logitech to remap a bunch of buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🧊🧊👶⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.

  German trains being on time is a myth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mothing phone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a nothing phone. The glyphs were a neat gimmick the first few weeks I had the thing, but now I only use them as a softer flashlight. They just don’t really add much value to the thing.

  Still like the thing very much though, overall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.

  Yes she was barefoot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a fine game that was tanked by the massive inconsistency of its quality as you progressed. The game starts out absolutely fantastic, but the quality takes a very sharp and sudden fall after a few hours, and then it just sorta ends not long after. It was a very weird experience. Definitely felt like something went very wrong during development and they had to make big changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too bad we can't all act like this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

  I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

  I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

  I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

  I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

  I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

  I feed people’s pets without asking.

  I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

  I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

  I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

  I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

  I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't Look Up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a trick to bypassing the Israeli defenses. Just make sure what you’re doing will be giving the unhinged leader of the genocidal regime a casus belli to launch a war of conquest that they can sell as a defensive war, and suddenly you’ll find you can do anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s an Apple keyboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warhammer 40,000 Maker Games Workshop Is Doing So Well It’s Giving $27 Million to Its Staff⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the painting and detailing that can be quite expensive and time consuming. You obviously don’t have to paint your minis, but that’s the entire point for a lot of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metamorfuckthis⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry Boss, can’t come in. The half-eaten apple lodged into my exoskeleton has become infected.

  What are you doing in England?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those were all human names first. Places named after people, not the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Daedric lord of soul crushing corporate vocabulary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life is unfair to landlords⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Killer pastry though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good butter straight from a dairy farm is super dangerous though. You can suddenly find yourself standing in your kitchen, no memory of the last 45 minutes, the fridge door open, a greasy knife in your hand, breadcrumbs all over the floor, and half the butter gone. Gotta be careful with that stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resistance is futile⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Connecting to the network does not have to mean connecting to the internet. Basically every consumer grade router out there is capable of restricting a device to the local network only. It could reach other devices on the network and the other devices would be able to reach it, but it would still be cut off from the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Widewine? Maybe they have some content that requires L1, which still doesn’t work on Linux because of totally legitimate technical reasons that are absolutely not at all utter horseshit.

  If by “literally anyone” you mean any catholic man, then sure.
