- Comment on Are there democratic countries whose democratic institutions survived an auto-coup attempt? 1 day ago:
I assume a coup by the reigning government.
- Comment on Wasted time 1 day ago:
These fuckers will clean out a pond in your backyard in no time, so don’t worry about them. They alternate between a range of ponds anyway, it’s not like it’s gonna starve. They are beautiful birds though.
- Comment on Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽ 2 weeks ago:
I admire your passion. None of the things you mention are mutually exclusive with generally preferring to rise early, however. Preferring to rise early is not a statement against people working night shifts.
- Comment on Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽ 2 weeks ago:
This is really about habits. I used to be a night owl, but changed my habits gradually and now I’m a morning person. You might have some genetic predisposition towards staying up late, but even so this is something that you can change, I believe.
What helped me, is that I started enjoying waking up early a lot more than staying up late.
- Comment on Zaibatsu 財閥 Каваї 1 month ago:
What movie or series is this scene from actually?
- Comment on Anon has an antique revolver 1 month ago:
Nuclear presidential quotes
- Comment on We are meat. 2 months ago:
The sword through the nose in The Northman had me laughing, also because he had cut off the nose years earlier.
- Comment on WTF 2 months ago:
I agree, the video doesn’t really leave room for doubt.
- Comment on Potash is forever 2 months ago:
I don’t even know what potash is…
- Comment on I am unobservant 2 months ago:
Which savage listens to the gps? Turning off the sound is the first thing I do. Although I have been considering getting a snoop dogg voiced gps or maybe Douglas Hedley (the philosophy professor from Cunk).
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 months ago:
Mine is from 2011 and still going strong. It had some upgrades like extra ram, ssd and a new gpu a couple of years ago and I had to replace the front fan. It starts making a horrible noise about 4 hours into a gaming session with a graphically demanding game, but apart from that it runs perfectly fine. I don’t really play demanding games usually so I don’t really care. When it finally dies, I might just swap out the motherboard and cpu and keep the rest. It’s my personal ship of Theseus.
- Comment on Anon likes stuffed animals 2 months ago:
Currently using one as a pillow. Can confirm seal pillows are great.
- Comment on Diamond market 2 months ago:
I like diamonds, my wife calls me a magpie. I buy her jewelry so I get to look at it while she wears it. That being said, I only buy jewelry with artificial diamonds for my better half. She jokingly reacts affronted when I tell her, with an incredulous face she will go “What? No children died for this? Some husband you are!”
- Comment on Time is an unstoppable force 2 months ago:
More like a broken clock: correct eventually for a short time.
- Comment on The burden of being different 3 months ago:
That’s Sidney Sweeney, btw. You’re welcome.
- Comment on Do linux users have wives? 3 months ago:
Seems like what Dominique Pelicot considered his wife to be. Not an example I am willing to follow, I’ll tell you that.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 3 months ago:
If this goes to trial, and it probably will at one point provided he gets arrested, there is a decent chance of jury nullification.
- Comment on Got 20 euro, what game/games to get on steam autunm sale? 3 months ago:
I picked up Dave the diver + dlc for something around 18€. Have been playing it all day and can highly recommend it.
- Comment on They nailed it 3 months ago:
The song is called “The ecstasy of gold” but the movie is “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Still, that was an impressive description.
- Comment on Greatest video game ever played? 3 months ago:
My personal favorite will probably always remain the Mass effect trilogy.
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 4 months ago:
Doing neither, as these things are well documented and demonstrably true, but believe whatever you want to believe.
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 4 months ago:
In France, but also Belgium and the Netherlands, you have a very malcontent population of 2nd or 3rd generation offspring (mostly male) of migrants who feel left out by the system and take any opportunity to cause chaos. It are these kids who set cars alight, not the protestors.
Often when there is a truly large protest, they are there to “fight against the system” by getting into fights with the police and burning cars and just causing overall mayhem.

When you click on “What!?” it’s the same text but capitalized.
- Comment on That chicken's name? Joe Rogan 4 months ago:
I have been watching Newsradio after seeing a very funny clip, which has Joe Rogan as the IT/maintenance guy. He’s not very funny, but I was surprised it was the same guy as I had only ever heard of him as a podcaster.
- Comment on Pizza rule 4 months ago:
I once did something like that to myself. Not satisfied with the tame spiciness of jalapenos on pizza, I decided to put a bhut jolokia (aka ghost pepper) on one. That was a profoundly dumb idea.
I was blinded by the need for spice and suffered twice.
- Comment on So bad it was actually entertaining 5 months ago:
I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.
- Comment on So bad it was actually entertaining 5 months ago:
That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”
Not sure if it’s still open.
- Comment on ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Lose $150 Million to $200 Million in Theatrical Run After Bombing at Box Office 5 months ago:
I think both movies are worth it. The second one appears to have less mass appeal, but I thought it was a great movie. I think in time this movie will be rehabilitated by the general public and you’ll have people who are bashing it now saying they always liked it.
- Comment on Which one is you? 5 months ago:
Unix?
- Comment on meow_irl 5 months ago:
How is that a joke? House cats have the cosiest and laziest life of all. I sometimes wish I was one. My wife and I are convinced that Buddhism has reincarnation wrong. Humans are not the highest life forms, cats are.
