You’re weird.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
Should we hold people like that responsible then in your view? The people who cause great harm to the rest of the world whether that be through capitalist or communist or any other mode of production?
Yes. And if we’re holding a person to the flame then it’s fair to compare them to another person, but not to compare them to another system. Somewhere in these comments I offered Churchill as someone who merrily starved India.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
I’m not even disputing that. I’m just saying Mao done fucked up. And if that triggers you, then you’ve got a problem.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
Which leader was that?
Y’all are trying to count all the evils of capitalism and colonialism against the bone headed incompetence of Mao and it just doesn’t make any sense.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
I didn’t ever say it was the fault of communism. I said it was the fault of Mao. Because he severely mismanaged, well, everything. But if you want to shout into the void about capitalism then go ahead. Shout away.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
Tsk. Mao is not the same sort of concept as capitalism. Has he killed more or fewer people than mosquitoes or bananas? What about too short green traffic lights? Moonless nights? All questions that make the same amount of sense. Mate.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
So, all the famine, death and destruction caused by capitalist exploitation of third world countries like india and most of the africsn continent can also directly be tied back to capitalism right?
Sure, if that’s the comparison you’re making. But “capitalism” Vs Mao is not a comparison that makes sense.
You could maybe count Churchill’s famine in India or his jolly little wars in Africa if you want to be argumentative. Or just accept that Mao caused millions of deaths through pig-headed incompetence and move on.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
Because a communist dictator coming into power is often followed by severe mismanagement and famine and the deaths of millions. It’s not the same sort of evil as killing people deliberately, but they’re equally dead.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 1 week ago:
This is true, but absurdly out of context

If you respect China
China as a country, a people and a culture deserve respect. The current power structure doesn’t.
- Comment on I also have an opportunity to study abroad in Iceland. Is that also a good choice? 5 weeks ago:
The industry thing is sad though. They’re kind of economically deadlocked
I have no idea where you’re getting this from. Iceland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Per capita, obviously.
And I think you’re getting your bubbles mixed up.
- Comment on ‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture war 1 month ago:
Could be for the US part of the tour? I saw them at a festival in Italy. And yeah, brilliant. Next day was Nick Cave who was even more spectacular live.
- Comment on ‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture war 1 month ago:
Just saw Gorillaz on their first show of The Mountain tour.
That can’t be. I saw them on The Mountain back in June. But yeah, Damon’ll show them how it’s done.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 1 month ago:
The article does point out that the victim had been imprisoned for 6 months at that point. That’s already disproportionate punishment for writing a slogan with washable paint on the likeness of some genocidal cunt. Would he have been put through that if he’s written some other message? I doubt it.

JPEG happened. That should always have been a PNG.

Thanks. I might just Hoover up your ideas and Xerox them for my Ziploc of tricks.

His space man persona was the real Bowie all along. And he was here to hold the fabric of reality together.
- Comment on This is to the Admins. How far behind are you guys and gals? I submitted a ticket like about a month ago and got an answer yesterday? Do you guys and gals need help? 2 months ago:
Yeah, just wanted to nudge this in a slightly more constructive direction 😁
- Comment on This is to the Admins. How far behind are you guys and gals? I submitted a ticket like about a month ago and got an answer yesterday? Do you guys and gals need help? 2 months ago:
Maybe you should take OP up on his offer to help too?
- Comment on Companies like Uber and Lyft should NOT be allowed to treat their employees like dirt 2 months ago:
For sure. But having your health insurance tied to your employer is one of the things that are fundamentally wrong with the US.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Huh. Slashdot. And my old sub-3000 id still works.
- Comment on Drowning in grid scale batteries 2 months ago:
You really can’t though. The batteries both have a capacity (kWh/MWh) and discharge power (kW/MW) rating, but it’s usually the capacity that is the limiting one. And for extra fun, the discharge power goes up as the battery has more charge, and the charging rate goes down.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 2 months ago:
Fun thing is, though, that 0.25g of oil is 2.2kcal and not 0.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 2 months ago:
They’re multiplying by the 0.25g serving size, then rounding the 0.25g of fat down to 0g and calculating the calories from that? I can barely imagine the apoplectic rage this would have triggered in my experimental physics professor.
- Comment on You must have an internet connected smartphone to eat 2 months ago:
the alternative is going to small shops where the menu is handwritten and without pictures
That’s what I used to do and then I’d look around and find something that looked nice on someone’s table and ask for that. And I learned the word for beer. It worked pretty well.
Also, going to KFC when you’re in a country with a rich culinary tradition… As an Italian you should know better.

Must one? One would rather not.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I certainly haven’t seen one in 10 years of living in Italy. But they might hide one in Milano.
Starbucks has arrived, though. Just a handful in the largest cities. I haven’t been inside one, but I hope they’re full of tourists.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
You’re confusing Starbucks with anything Italian. They’re an entirely American purveyor of milk shakes.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 3 months ago:
I mean, the fresh stuff is certainly better. Also, Barilla isn’t that awesome. I don’t know what you have available, but I live in Italy and I never buy Barilla. (Although I’d like to thank them for being a large contributor to my adopted city’s finances.)
But yeah, time things so that the sauce is ready when the pasta becomes ready. The sauce won’t suffer for sitting for a few minutes.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 3 months ago:
Don’t leave your pasta hanging.
