Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

    Motorcycles are the best means to go camping.

    When you’re travelling, you are outside. Open the visor, breathe in the pine wood air. Unlike a car where you’re effectively disconnected from your surroundings, you’re much more in them. You can also reach much more secluded places, so you can just go to “that spot” and spend the night there. It’s almost as good as bicycles or hiking in that regard but unlike those two, you can also cover distances, spontaneously deciding to just hit the road for a day and sleep 1000 km further south the next night.

    Don’t debate on things we have little to no expertise/personal experience in. [insert really divisive issue here], I am not [this group of people], [other group of people], and don’t have the legal/medical/[insert other relevant thing] background to comment on this issue.

    If you ignore those hot issues, you can focus on the important things that matter in life. Like what’s for breakfast tomorrow morning.

    Being neuroatypical isn’t a fashion accessory. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and not being “normal” was marginalising and hard for everyone around. You’re not special or trendy because you self-diagnosed autism using an online questionnaire in 2023, you’re just an unbearable twat and you want to not have to take accountability for your own shitty attitude.

    I will never play a game that needs admin elevation to run, I don’t care how good it allegedly is.

    I’ve missed out on playing several games with friends due to this stance. Star Wars: The Old Republic was the first I can remember. Marvel Rivals is the most recent.

      Wrong. Under leaves a visual blind spot that is unnatural and would cause our ancient ancestors to create a new god based on eradicating it.

    Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt doesn’t deserve the praise it gets. If anyone else recorded it, no one would care. His singing sounds bad.

    And to add to it, it’s a song about drug addiction and depression…but the music video is a highlight real of how awesome Cash’s life was.

      Just to be a devil’s advocate, his life was pretty full of heavy amphetamine addiction from the late 50s to the 90s. His recording sounds like a man singing about the hurt he no doubt caused to himself and those he loved during the decades of drug abuse, no matter how shiny that life looked from the outside.

    Blessing someone for a sneeze is the most useless human interaction I know of and we should do away with it.

    Starship Troopers isn’t a smart movie pretending to be a dumb movie, it’s a moderately intelligent movie with pretensions of being a smart movie pretending to be a dumb movie.

    Robocop, on the other hand, is a masterpiece.

      Agree 100% on Robocop.

      With Starship Troopers, it all hinges on what you feel when Dizzy dies. Personally, I was legit angry at the bugs when that happened, and then had the realization of “oh… so that’s how fascist propaganda works.” I think it had to be on the nose a bit for the message to come across.

      The movie ends with a guy in an SS uniform saying they’ve made the enemy afraid and everyone cheers, and still a lot of people didn’t get it. So it may not have been dumbed down enough for a lot of people to get the message.

    Touchscreen laptops, and by extension “two-in-one” laptops, are an absolute abomination of a form factor that should not exist.

    Modern medicine, no matter how smart and clever we think we are, still mostly involves doing things that just keep the patient amused while letting nature take it’s course.

      I can only 15% agree, this is true for certain things like cancer where we have found ways to mitigate the risk of death but haven’t cured it, as well as certain other chronic illnesses. But for plenty of things you would go to a doctor for, they have a solution.

      Ah yes, titanium joints and donor organs just magically grow in people that need them, the surgeons just play jazz while you’re asleep
