True. Breadtube should stop with the slogfests
- Comment on I think Sims is a dead franchise now 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t know, I’m a filthy casual. Parkitect never did it for me, but Planet Coaster did. The point is nobody’s making a new Rollercoaster Tycoon under that name, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t worthy successors from competitors. Cities Skylines is a better example, I remember how much Sim City sucked, then CitiesXL flopped, but Cities Skylines knocked it out of the park
- Comment on I think Sims is a dead franchise now 1 month ago:
It’s time for a new Sims. The way Cities Skylines replaced Simcity and Planet Coaster replaced Rollercoaster Tycoon

No. Many people want cops to go Dirty Harry on all black people
- Comment on Mods of !news are now banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot? 2 months ago:
What a shitshow. Admins and moderators are screwing up. This is completely of their own making, by doubling down on a stupid bot nobody wants.
- Comment on What does "legitimate interest" mean in cookie settings? 2 months ago:
A prime example for a cookie with “legitimate interest” is a session cookie. Your shopping cart or even staying logged in wouldn’t work without it, so it’s not a good idea to even give the user the choice.
Incorrect, session cookies are textbook functional cookies

There’s a reason transbian is a word
- Comment on it's just that simple. Don't forget to exercise out of depression... 2 months ago:
Never mind the “thanks I’m cured” vibes, but mild exercise does improve mental health a lot. Going outside for a stroll in nature is great. I know it’s still difficult when your brain just wants you to curl up into a ball all day, but the idea isn’t bad.

Sure, quality over quantity. They should apply that to these 4 hour plus monstrosities everyone seems to do now. Ain’t nobody got time for that. It was fun when it was an exception, but now all these youtubers are doing it. 30 minutes or so is plenty to get your ideas across with ample time for constructing your arguments and providing context.

What the hell. There’s just a disagreement, no need to use admin override powers. Just let it be. Let them have their sub. It’s not like they’re recruiting for Al Qaeda.

Everyone here saying their ice cream sucks and they never buy it, I don’t think you realize Magnum and Cornetto are this brand. Those are the world’s best selling ice cream brands

- Comment on Tethered Bottle Caps 4 months ago:
Have you ever heard about the Exota affair in the Netherlands? In 1969, journalists uncovered the glass bottles of Exota soda were explosion hazards and their scathing TV episode about it drove the company to bankruptcy. It became a whole ordeal after the journalists and broadcaster were sued.

The bottle cap folds out of the way. If you have it “in your face”, it sounds like a skill issue

I just wanted to share the story.
- Comment on I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake 4 months ago:
Someone in Norway has the same name as me, and they made a PayPal account. They accidentally used my email during signup and I got some weird emails in Norwegian. So I called PayPal. I asked them to change the email. “You can’t, because it’s not your account, you just admitted”. Uh, ok. Can you close the account? “It’s not your account”. Can you contact the account owner and tell them to fix it? “We don’t have their email”. Can I use account recovery and close it? “Then you would be breaking into someone else’s account”.
So what should I do? PayPal put a notice on the account in case they log in, and told me to just ignore the emails. I was baffled, but there really isn’t anything I can do. I tried account recovery anyway, but it didn’t work. They never logged in, I think. They probably made another account with the correct details and never thought about this one.
So I’ve been getting the “our terms and conditions have changed” email once or twice a year and ignoring them. They’re still in Norwegian. I just looked it up, this has been going on since 2015. Maybe I should contact PayPal again and tell them how ridiculous they’ve been.

Promotions aren’t a thing anymore anyways, are they? Only if you switch jobs can you get a raise

That particular one exploded because the US had an embargo against Nazi Germany for the much safer helium rather than famously combustible hydrogen
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
Fascinating! Thank you for this article. It exactly describes what’s happening: “oh, you think you’re better than us? I’ll have another steak!”
As a vegetarian, I’m so sick of it. I don’t want to explain myself. Just let me be
- Comment on Does Instagram or YouTube Shorts get you? 6 months ago:
Define too long. I like videos of up to 15 minutes. That’s long to some people. Occasionally I’ll enjoy longer videos but almost always I think to myself “you could have said the same in a much shorter video”. And I won’t even start the 4 hours bullshit rambling videos. Do people actually watch that or is it just on in the background?
