  • That’s my favorite part, Trump supporters (altho this goes for Putin supporters too) always get caught saying something that’s against their great leader, just because he changes his option all the god damn time, depending on what suits him most at any given moment. Obama care for example, every time he’s interview by a republican he says tp get rid of it, but when but anybody else the story is that they’re working on an improved version. And this applies to any policy.


  • Not if it’s because Russia is killing em. Trump deserves the worst punishment the army has ever dished out for committing the worst and most acts of treason in history. His crimes against humanity, the US and the west are uncountable, quite literally. Saying he committed treason is an insult to treason. The fact that he isn’t detained or shot on sight demonstrates America’s weakness and why the west must stop relying on it and stand on its own 2 feet.





  • Idk, my only experience with python is that any app written in it doesn’t fucking work, throwing some esoteric error that has nothing to do with the error at hand and then me needing to look up what unholy specific version I need and manually setting up an environment for it. I dread the day when I’ll want to try some random project and yet again the only way to run it will be some shady ass python script.

    JS is pure crack and has no right being the backbone of the web, but python is borderline unusable in my experience.




  • There wasn’t really a good way to secure things back there. At least not something small and squishy like a grocery bag. Besides, the bed is so high up and huge, it’s awkward putting anything up there anyways. The one time we actually hauled something, a Gokart, it was a massive pain getting that thing up there. It’s too high for a ramp so better get to lifting.

    Just for fun I’ve quickly looked online, and there actually exist accessories that make the bed smaller with little boxes for such things. Just buy a roof and it’s almost as convenient as a regular car xD

    My favorite is this one tho, someone had enough brains to develop an actual trunk (if a bit awkward to reach and a bit small) but understood the need for a much larger bed for the fragile ego xD


  • The Americans I visited live in Indiana. Tho it’s less about them actually buying a lot (about a week’s worth), but rather that when talking about cars and how ridiculously huge their’s is, they always say that they need it for hauling and groceries. Meanwhile the rest of the world doesn’t experience this problem.

    And on top of that you can’t put anything into the trunk (or bed I suppose…) and the back seats are just barely spacious enough to fit a rifle case. So if you have around 6-8 bags of stuff, you’re gonna put some into the passenger seat. It’s especially funny, because even my mom’s tiny 3rd gen Clio fits more inside. Picking me up from the airport with barely space for my luggage was another fun one. But they insist on buying these expensive awkward vehicles.



  • Thanks for not providing even a single example… I tried looking around and only found relatively niche use cases, like them being more reliable and resistant (while also being lighter) for extreme environments or infrequent use, for example emergency equipment. And then some people choosing em because they don’t feel like investing more into it, when they have only a couple devices that drain the batteries slowly, let’s say a clock that lasts a year. That could be easily fixed if you could exchange empty batteries for full ones like with gass tanks and similar, and the prior examples aren’t a good enough reason to have such batteries in the convenience store.



  • Lol, such weak minded pussies, let me explain. For reference, that number is very roughly half of all atoms on earth. If you had that kind of money in cash, it would be larger than earth, it would be heavier than the sun and fucking obliterate our solar system. It’s absolute lunacy, so they could have gone further and got more out of it. Like asking for a googol dollars (a 1 with a hundred zeros), not only is it actually funny (a play on Google’s name), but that would finally be enough to nuke the entire observable universe. But no, turns out fascists aren’t creative and their statements are just the result of rabies.



  • Honestly don’t feel like a slight reduction on a month long battery life is of much concern. As for waste, I’d say being able to replace a dead battery should reduce waste if anything, also nobody said it must be a AA (on a side note, you seem to imply the use of non-rechargeable AA, which holy shit, if they’re still a thing, must be purged, sweet jesus…who’s dumb enough to waste money on em???). Personally, I’d much prefer having a second battery charging separately somewhere, ready to swap, as opposed to being forced to stop using my computer. Or like the Nintendo Switch I mentioned before, have some spot I can put it away for charing, that way the mouse is also cleaned up and not fucking dangling and wobbling around freely on the table.


  • I don’t understand what was wrong with the original version that just took 2 AA batteries. Reaching for the AA charger and swapping cells not awkward enough or something?

    Smart and elegant design would be hiding a battery charger in the iMac it self (maybe even use something smaller than AA), not expect you to flip and plug in your mouse every time ya leave it. The Nintendo Switch, while a completely different form factor, is a great example of an elegant (you could even say “wireless”) charging solution.

    I’m getting really sick of the Apple esthetic of sticking out wires, be it the mouse or the dozen dongles for every portable device they now make. Uh! Can’t forget the world’s only pen that needs charging, for seemingly no reason.

    “Debatable” is a heavy stretch for someone with a 0% track record when it comes to promised tech while repeating “we can do it NOW and it will be available NEXT YEAR!” for a literal decade. Robo taxies were supposed to be EVERYWHERE 4 years ago. Same with SpaceX, we were supposed to be sending the first people to mars this year, yet all Elon has managed was burn 3 bilion tax payer dollars for literal fireworks, as not a single “starship” managed to reach high orbit. Even the cybertruck is a cheap knockoff of what was promised. Not to mention the countless people that have died because he’s allowed to beta test his death machines in public. Can’t forget his starlink shenanigans in Ukraine, fucking warlord wannabe… Elon is the greatest scam artist in modern history, and it’s absolutely disgraceful that he isn’t behind bars, let alone valued at all.


  • Dating is a complete shit show. People that say to just work on your self are only telling half the story. Of course it’s important to be open and actively willing to improve, but it’s equally as important to identify the kind of people in your life. Legit, the only reason I’m not a complete fucking incel today is because I was lucky enough to have a friend to connected me with someone I wouldn’t have ever met otherwise.

    I was convinced that all my self-improvement was pointless as I kept getting shoved away as a monster for simply being a man and getting cucked by literal rapists. Felt like what I believed in must have been fundamentally flawed somehow, that I was just broken. Turns out I was just used to attracting shit people.



  • I knew and even tried it before, but I completely forgot it existed because it sucked so much. Nobody can see you moving your hands and tilting your head, which kills all the fun of a VR multi-player game IMO. It’s just a glorified controller binding for VR headsets. Considering all the other wacky things they added, I don’t see why they didn’t add actual VR support.
