  Right, but the original person who wrote the code everyone uses still had to program it in.

  Have you ever tried speaking to a hardcore Radiohead fan about music? They’re great and all, but I swear if Thom York recorded himself taking a shit and released it they’d be telling you how it was the most revolutionary shit ever taken.

  Amen to that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are some downsides to marriage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You said you want to be confident in your decision to marry before you do (paraphrasing a bit) - the other poster is saying that after a couple of decades it’s possible for you to change your mind about any decision no matter how confident you were at the time you made it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨american culture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not enough people buying Premium, eh?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That turns out to be a lot more expensive, personally I’d get a lot less useful content/content I enjoy. I do chip in to a few patreons etc, but realistically someone like Karl Jobst or Levy Rozman or many other creators that I use to plug a 10 minute hole between tasks would likely get nothing from me because £10/mo is a lot for maybe 1-2 hours use a month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are some downsides to marriage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As they did when they made it at a guess. Seems like fairly straightforward English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, might be very regional, it’s about a 75% saving for me, choice shipping typically takes about 7-10 days, it’s free if you spend more than £8 (not sure of that’s regional too though)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are some downsides to marriage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Feel the same about the decision I think is what is being suggested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha, tbh it stemmed from a mild fascination with the true range of utter crap and oddly specific items that are available on Ali. Mostly it went the other way (finding stuff on Amazon/Etsy that I’d seen on Ali and being a bit nonplussed with the price on the other platforms).

  There might be a bit of a knack to it. Anything brand name or bulk generally there aren’t a lot of savings. With the right search terms you can usually uncover third shift items, whether that’s you’re thing or not. Anything you see on Amazon sold by companies with names like HSUUEHE are often 20-40% cheaper. You might need to dig a little, there may be 20-30 listings of the same product from different sellers, some just list things at the same price you’d see them on Amazon. Anything that looks mass produced on Etsy can usually be found as well.

  Just go to AliExpress, same shit, half the price. Bonus points that while their initial results may not be exactly what you want their recommendation engine usually gets you there quickly enough.

  You’re just trying to turn me on at this point.

  Crusts go rock hard and the rest is too piping hot to eat out of the microwave. There’s a significant proportion of British people of a certain ages who’s formative impression of American pizza is this.

  Truly Tesco’s generosity knows no bounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy birthday, peon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s even more depressing is they come in packs of 2 and he’s only been given one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait times are a factor of the number of doctors though. Like in the UK private health insurance may let you skip the queue, but that’s only because there’s relatively few people capable or willing to take up the private slots. If everyone had health insurance then the “faster” pathway no longer exists (or more likely people who’re willing to pay more skip the queue).

  LASIK isn’t life long, it corrects your vision at the time, if your prescription changes the LASIK is no longer effective. It comes down to how long you can reasonably keep a pair of glasses without breaking them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just buy them in the steam sale and never play them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think most people begrudge owners a reasonable profit, especially if they’re running things and taking an active role in the business and pay their workers well. It’s not unreasonable to have some cash squirrelled away for the business having hard times either.

  For me the issue is megacorps who exploit workers shaving working conditions and benefits until it’s bare bones, expecting more work from fewer people at higher quality, paying the bare minimum after being lucky enough to be the first to market with some idea so they’re in a completely dominant position and making billions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intruder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not really sure if you read my original post or not, it doesn’t have anything at all to do with what someone should or shouldn’t do when someone invades their home. It’s entirely to do with the “he had it coming”/“he deserved it” attitude a lot of responses seem to have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intruder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, no, you’ve gone from “threat” to “threat to life” that’s a leap. I’m not sure where it disagrees with my original premise, I’m not sure it has anything to do with my original premise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intruder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You appear to have completely missed the point of my post and focussed on a side point. There’s a world of difference in defending yourself and thinking someone deserves death for entertaining a house.

  To your other points, first off I haven’t said anything about the rights or wrongs of the child defending themselves, I’m not sure why you’re making the argument about that. I do however disagree there’s a basic assumption that anyone entering a house uninvited has no regard for the health and wellbeing of inhabitants. The rest of the post just looks like leap after leap from that point forward.
