Maybe you are
- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 1 day ago:
There is a lot of social pressure to lie to kids especially.
I hate it. - Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 2 days ago:
Not all lawyers are trial lawyers. There are lots of things you can do helping people with paperwork of various kinds. EoL planing and incorporating businesses, for 2 examples off the top of my head.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
I’m not seeing any question here.
Isn’t there a rule about that? - Comment on Exclusive Update On The ‘Star Trek: Year One’ Series Pitch And Status Of The ‘Strange New Worlds’ Sets 3 days ago:
I had this idea over a year ago.
Let SNW transition into a new TOS. I’d like to see it. I’m happy that they’re considering it. - Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
General rule of the internet, nothing is ever truly deleted.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
That may be a question best answered by looking inward.
I’ve never seen these white men online.
I don’t think we run in the same circles. - Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
This is the real answer.
I can’t go back to ad driven search. - Comment on Why is Iran attacking Dubai and Kuwait? 1 week ago:
My completely uneducated guess would be, to make it harder for the US to get equipment into the area.
- Comment on VPNs Can’t Make You Anonymous Online. Don’t Be Fooled by Anyone Who Says They Can 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen these kinds of articles a few times.
I’ve never seen anyone claiming VPN = anonymity.
Am I missing something? - Comment on OP figures out love languages 2 weeks ago:
This is completely reasonable.
It makes too much sense to be a shit post. - Comment on I saw a turd on my way home from work! 2 weeks ago:
You nobody sells cars with bare metal body work.
Would be a cool look though, with just clear coat to keep it nice. - Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 weeks ago:
That’s perception.
Reality is just a big question mark. - Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 weeks ago:
That’s called the brain
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 weeks ago:
There’s nothing to disprove ghosts because there’s no real definition of what a ghost is.
If someone gives me a real unambiguous agreed upon definition of what a ghost is, I’ll explain why we know they don’t exist.
- Comment on If America and Mexico did an all our "WAR" against the cartels look like? 2 weeks ago:
If America and Mexico [started] an all our “WAR” against the cartels [what would it] look like?

Matrix is the federated alternative.
- Comment on Has cosmetic surgery gotten a bit out of hand lately? 4 weeks ago:
Yes.
This is not an example.
Check out “The Mar a lago Look”. - Comment on Has cosmetic surgery gotten a bit out of hand lately? 4 weeks ago:
And the 2025 look has a lot of contouring makeup.
- Comment on Does the fact Stoat.chat doesn't have E2EE mean the server owner can read any and all messages, including DMs? 4 weeks ago:
It would mean the server owner can almost certainly read everything. Though it may not be in plain text. It could be encrypted on the server. But the owner would need to have the keys to decrypt and read everything.
- Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals? 4 weeks ago:
That’s your judgement of your food. It’s natural for you to have a number of biases to favor your own cooking. Most notably the 4 hours of effort it takes you.
But home cooking isn’t generally that. It’s the 20-40min one puts in right after getting home from work. Comparing your most intensive 4h hours of effort against something a restaurant cook does absent mindedly isn’t really a comparison. If they put in your effort you wouldn’t have a chance.
- Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals? 4 weeks ago:
Cheeper sure. Not a chance it’s better in blind taste tests. That’s all confirmation bias from you putting in the effort to make it yourself. You can’t be an objective judge if your own food.
If your food were really that much better than everyone else’s you’d be able to make a fortune with your own restaurant. And if you enjoyed it, you might be happier doing that for work instead of whatever you currently do.
- Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals? 4 weeks ago:
You had me until “it tasts better”.
That’s entirely dependent on the cook. And very few home cooked meals are better than average restaurants. There’s a reason restaurants and professional cooks can make a living. If home cooking was so much better so often, nobody would bother going out to eat. - Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 4 weeks ago:
That’s a common feeling. Frequently people are too proud to ask for help when needed. That’s one more way UBI is superior to qualified welfare programs.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 4 weeks ago:
I do it when possible, so I don’t get my hands dirty.
But I know I’m the werid one. - Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 4 weeks ago:
Care about their opinions of your personal habits.
- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 4 weeks ago:
This video explains how standard locks work.
Basically all the parts of the lock are mass produced. Only the pins are unique. And they’re aren’t actually unique, just the combinations of pins are.
- Comment on Is there a word, perhaps as 40-letter compound word in German, that explains this annoying social phenomenon? 4 weeks ago:
That sucks the first time.
But you get over it.I have 15 identical black t-shirts.
When somone asks, “Do you only have one shirt?”
I reply “Yah! It’s so comfortable I got 15 of them!” - Comment on How come decades in the 1900s look fairly well differentiated but from like 2004 on feels like a giant run on? 5 weeks ago:
They sucked for most people last century also.
- Comment on How come decades in the 1900s look fairly well differentiated but from like 2004 on feels like a giant run on? 5 weeks ago:
Also the ide a that after The Millennium, we instead focused on categorizing generations more. Which changed how the generations experienced the decades.
I’ve started calling this the 20s every chance I get.
