• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So sad to see a really old guy driving an expensive sports car⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m happy to see them. He probably saved all life to buy his childhood dream car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good memoirs or autobiography about someone who had a rough childhood, especially victims of child abuse/neglect?⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Only similar I’ve read is David Goggins-can’t bust me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woke ass plant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure you can find someone who would react like that but no, this is not something you should expect to encounter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you friends with any AI bots?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thing that makes me try everything new. Boredom and an afternoon to spare. Was fun for a while but lost interest once I’ve noticed the patterns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you friends with any AI bots?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve not tried any paid ones. The free ones I’ve tried have forgot what I said after a few back and forths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the catalyst that actually causes (financial) bubbles to burst?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Any bad news could trigger it. Noone knows exactly what or when.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come NK doesn't just come out and say we are in trouble and need help? Like their lack of food and stuff? I really don't see a downside for a country admit they were wrong and need help⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The leadership would not stay in power if they did that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many virtual machines can you nest?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Best approach: Try it. Tell us how it goes. It seems interesting to me but not interesting enough to spend an afternoon doing it.

  Weird problems: some virtualising software uses specific hardware features and just outright does not work in a virtual machine.

  Your limit should be how many times bigger your actual cpu or ram is compared to what is used by operating system + virtualization software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a Brit, but when I hear chav it’s not working class I think of. It’s someone young, skipping school and some unholy mix of gopnik and mumble rapper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Learnt in a ford mondeo, some early 2000s model.

  Still got a manual as my daily driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the key to a woman's heart and does finding love have a cutoff point?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you get to pick. What do you think makes a person awesome to be around and what would you like to aspire to be like?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the key to a woman's heart and does finding love have a cutoff point?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Should probably focus on mitigating the extreme anxiety and agoraphobia as step 1.

  What are your strengths? How do you get into a position where you get to show your strengths but your weakness does not matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No. A picture of me and my father from when we were kids should dispell any such suspicions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually say "If your job was fun they would charge admission instead of paying you. "

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Predictions are hard, especially about the future.

  You don’t say exactly what you want to predict so it’s hard to say exactly what you need to learn.

  If you want to predict the next economic crash you’ll have to study a lot of economics. If you want to predict the next pandemic you’ll have to study medicine etc. Years of study no matter what.

  Once you know a lot about a topic you have to put a ton of effort into study current events and still be wrong a lot of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We gotta be more encouraging⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are 99 crackpots for every genius without a degree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there really no stupid questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Phrasing conspiracy theories as a questions does not make them a questions, stupid or not.

  Troll grade: C-.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad but true⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably, but being stupid is a worse curse than being ugly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't police use rubber bullets instead of live rounds? I get if someone is holding a loaded weapon. But wouldn't a rubber bullet have the same effect with out putting holes in another person?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you don’t intend to kill rubber bullets are still very dangerous.

  If you have to kill (armed and attacking) they are not dangerous enough.

  Then you have the issue of less than lethal weapons having a much lower threshold for when they are used and then accidentally killing or maiming someone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends more on what octave you hit when moaning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not supposed to be insecure about it.

  You can be honest , you can joke about it. I’d probably just tell them it’s so boringly average, I measure every day and compare to the wikipedia article on penis size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inspirational⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a frictionless vaccuum 45° would be max range.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do it at least 35 times just in case⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The key is gentle teasing and then a sudden switch into a resolute, vigorous finish. Keeps the wear and tear down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do it at least 35 times just in case⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay what about going extreme at thethe other end? I need to know what happens to the 60-90 times per month group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason I put pants on is because it’s be arrested otherwise.

  That being said, comfortable has priority over good looking and I don’t think I’ve ever had a compliment on how I dress since grandma saw me in a suit when I graduated 20 something years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because when you make the console you get to charge anyone who wants to publish a game for it anything you like. Microsoft made money on every pc sold with windows, but not every game sold for PC.

  Same reason EA, UBIsoft and every other big publisher tried to launch their own Steam competitor. To ideally make money from someone else selling their game on their shop, but worst case just to be able to make negotiate a better deal from Valve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Living somewhere where the healthcare is not free but heavily subsidised people do not go to the doctor for minor issues because when I tried to call and book an appointment I got an answering machine telling me that they don’t have time to answer the phone today, try again tomorrow. And of course the online booking did not work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't anybody get notified about warrants for their arrest?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So that they don’t run, hide or destroy evidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do boycotts work?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In case of a country at war you need a lot more than a boycott.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it takes quite a lot of effort to eat a huge amount of sugar in the form on fruits and berries. They also have some vitamins, fibers and other stuff in them too.
