Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 days ago:
I’m not sure how much these endorsements actually matter… Lord knows Liz Cheney’s endorsing Kamala didn’t tip the scales.
Would establishment libs support a leftist? Maybe not. But that doesn’t mean that voters would necessarily follow suit.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 days ago:
Probably. People tend to vote for their team - regardless of the actual underlying policy
No promises, though.
- Comment on Geoff Keighley is apparently attempting to trademark "The Game Awards" with the US Patent Office 5 days ago:
He didn’t already have a trademark? I’m surprised.
Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff of trying to own the concept of award shows
- Comment on USA President term limits 6 days ago:
Short of congress changing the law or a successful coup, neither of which are necessarily off the table, yes these next four years will be Trump’s last in office. Who knows what either party will have to offer in 2028.
- Comment on Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest 1 week ago:
Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more
- Comment on Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest 1 week ago:
It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.
I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.

$750 a year to maintain health
Lol
- Comment on I have a very strange question about washers, dryers and the Middle East. 2 weeks ago:
This decision is made for most people by the electrician who wired the house. This seems like as decent a hypothesis as any for why they seem to prefer washers to the left
- Comment on Clever, clever 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there
- Comment on Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election? 4 weeks ago:
Yikes. We’re all thinking about how covid disproportionately affects the elderly, but it also disproportionately affects people who live in denser population centers.
I don’t like talking about pandemics in terms of which political party they help, but I guess the dems may have been hit harder in the end…
- Comment on I'd have to hear her argument, but... 4 weeks ago:
If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.
Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 4 weeks ago:
For conversation about various subjects with broad appeal and a left wing slant, sure.
For tech support or info on niche topics, not at all. Lemmy is not big enough, old enough, or easily indexed by search engines.
The porn is also pretty mid tbh
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 4 weeks ago:
You’re not going to hear from men who actually do this because they don’t have a good reason and aren’t typically comfortable with the kind of introspection the question demands.
Some people are exclusionary pricks who look for excuses to judge others. They don’t have or need a reason. It’s bullying.

On the one hand this is creepy as hell
On the other fuck mosquitoes
- Comment on ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Lose $150 Million to $200 Million in Theatrical Run After Bombing at Box Office 5 weeks ago:
Didn’t even know this movie had been announced until I’d heard it was bombing. I never watched the first one so odds were pretty slim I’d have seen it anyway.
- Comment on Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise 1 month ago:
I think we’re all just kinda passively expecting it at this point. I’m pretty dispassionate about the whole thing.
Games are art, you have to be willing to take a risk and try something genuinely new every once in a while. Ubisoft isn’t.
- Comment on Pray for me lads, Imma about to rawdog this without back ups 1 month ago:
I don’t necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available
Clearly, op agrees
- Comment on Anon watches an old concert video 1 month ago:
Idk, I grew up fat in the US and everyone around me made damn sure I never forgot it.
Fat people don’t tend to be any kinder to other fat people, in my experience.
- Comment on What does "blackpilled" mean? 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’s a pretty deep pit of depression. I suspect most people who consider themselves blackpilled are clinically depressed. Not at all useful. But then again, neither is being judgmental of them.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
Is it? Only pure water will actually freeze at 0c. Rain, puddles, lakes, etc aren’t all that pure… And we’re talking about ambient air temps here. The air can be below freezing and it can still rain. And you can get snow/hail above freezing…
Knowing the freezing point is just one factor. Knowing it’s generally around 30F is pretty much always close enough (not that remembering 32 is actually very difficult)
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
Which is the closest thing to a legitimate criticism of celcius that exists. The entire top half of the scale (everything over ~50°, that is) is pretty much useless as far as judging the weather is concerned.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
I’m pretty sure that wasn’t actually Fahrenheit’s intention, more a happy accident. Also if your body temp is 100°F then you’re running a mild/moderate fever.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
As is typically responded to this ‘response’: there are a large number of people-many European-who would unironically say that 50°F (10°C) is, in fact, the ideal temperature.
They’re wrong, of course, but they exist.
But you’re also assuming that the exact middle of the range is where the ideal sweet spot should be. That’s wrong. People generally can better handle larger temperature deviations that are colder than their ideal than hotter deviations.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
Yeah, but it hits different. Smaller number is smaller.
That’s why I use Kelvin. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DEGREES?!!

He counted 8 inaccuracies on one hand
Implying he has at least 8 fingers on a single hand
It’s a joke about radioactive mutations

TIL Tesla has a factory (factories?) In Germany. My mistake.
- Comment on Deep Discounts 2 months ago:
Well they’re made here so it stands to reason they’d be a bit cheaper. No clue about the corolla tho
- Comment on Dennis Quaid’s ‘Reagan’ Is the Worst Movie of the Year 2 months ago:
I haven’t seen either, but my impression is that Borderlands, while trash, isn’t actively harmful revisionist history, which is what I’ve been hearing about Reagan.
- Comment on Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)? 2 months ago:
It definitely definitely is.
But it’s not a Trump echo chamber, hence their absence.
