  • My German father, who lived and worked in Budapest for a long time, pronounced it wrong. I rarely have cause to use the name but when I do, I try to do it justice.

  • What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it?

  • I know this as 'eat your frogs'.

  • Poll shows 84% of PC users unwilling to pay extra for AI-enhanced hardware

  • I am generally unwilling to pay extra for features I don't need and didn't ask for.

  • Tenacious D’s Newcastle show postponed after comment about Trump assassination attempt

    Jump

  • The idiocy is that the same people who normally advocate for freedom of speech and freedom of consequences, who oppose what they call 'cancel culture', and who think that you should be able to say anything you want, who don't believe that words have impact - they're the exact same people who are getting all hot under the collar over this, and are more than happy for this particular speech to have consequences.

    You can't have it any which way. I don't condone what Kyle Gas's said, but it's interesting if not disturbing to see who's the loudest in advocating for severe consequences.

    Read up a bit about Ralph Babet and you'll see what a massive hypocrite the guy is.

  • Tenacious D’s Newcastle show postponed after comment about Trump assassination attempt

    Jump

  • It wasn't too long ago that right wingers were marching the streets in the state of Victoria, calling for the then-Premier to be hanged. One woman who later got elected to the Victorian parliament said she wouldn't rest until she saw him hanging from the end of a rope.

    Guess who didn't oppose those calls for violence? The same people who got their knickers in a twist over this one, that's right.

  • They're not getting deported. The senator who made that demand is on the fringe, doesn't belong to any major party or group, and speaks for nobody but himself. He couldn't have dialled up the histrionics any more if he'd actually tried.

    Jump

  • He also claimed that he went into politics as a 'sacrifice' for his country - the pay wasn't enough for 'all the suffering' he'd have to 'endure' in parliament and all the work he'd be forced to do. He said he'd be much happier running his real estate business

  • Do we have older metalheads here?

    Jump

  • 46, been into hard rock and metal since I turned 15. I have explored most genres and styles, liked some more than others.

  • Hmm, needs linux

    Jump

  • Why would you need to charge it all the way up? Just plug in the PSU, switch it on, look for your file, turn it off.

  • I'm just gonna stick to slotted, thanks

  • Why does Torx Plus have six teeth but tamper-resistant Torx Plus has five? Whereas 'what the fuck is this' basically looks like it should be tamper-resistant Torx Plus?

  • That pistol appears to be cocked and not locked (safety off). I seriously hope there's no round chambered.

  • Scalpers Work With Hackers to Liberate Ticketmaster's ‘Non-Transferable’ Tickets

    Jump

  • Scalpers are a problem that transcend Ticketmaster. Heck, they transcend the world of event tickets. Scalpers are a pain in so many areas. Fuck them.

  • Satanists to volunteer in Florida schools in protest at DeSantis religious bill

    Jump

  • "I always thought there couldn't possibly be a God, with all the evil in the world. But perhaps... all this evil exists because there is a God. Perhaps, yes, perhaps this God just isn't a particularly nice guy. It's possible that God isn't a DJ, but an arsehole."

    "He's probably both. A DJ who exclusively plays Rammstein at a kid's birthday party."

    "You know the saying that God created Man in His image? Well, look around. If you assume that God is an arsehole, it suddenly makes a lot of sense."

  • Q: What do you call people who believe in the existence of Satan?

    A: Christians.

  • What universally beloved videogame you just can't enjoy?

    Jump

  • The standalone Gwent version started sucking the moment all the competitive gamers got their hands on it. Then it was all about optimising the game to death, all the decks got streamlined. I came back to the game after a longer break and it was almost completely different, and my favourite faction had been so drastically altered that I couldn't get back into it.

  • Anon's coworker is a flat-earther

    Jump

  • So how come people trust Donald Trump? How is it that he can get away with lying whenever he opens his mouth, how is it that people buy it when he pretends he's the underdog and not part of the establishment? How is it his followers, who are so ready to believe that the government lies to them all the time, don't call anything of what he says into question?

    If we go by what you say then we're basically fucked. Government and authorities can never regain trust because thanks to people like Trump, thanks to parties like the Republicans, who have spent decades undermining that trust, thanks to the mass media who are highly complicit, we live in a post-truth world, and it's enough that a government wasn't 100% truthful that one time, we can never trust them again.

  • Anon's coworker is a flat-earther

    Jump

  • No, I really can't understand the mindset. Especially not in the face of the constant undermining of trust by certain elements of society, including when they're in government. We didn't just arrive here for no reason. The same people who have eroded the trustworthiness of government and authority (on purpose, see Reagan) over decades are the ones who now exploit the results of their actions, for their own gain.

    If, in your scenario, group B was on the level, it would be a different story. But they aren't. If A oversold their claim, B would have massively oversold theirs. And that was easy to prove and has been proven. B also just didn't oversell their own claim, they also exaggerated the claim that they refuted to something that, in this form, was never said - standard MO.

    There is no trick to this. Being factual and getting people to believe you is much harder than telling an easy but good-sounding lie and getting people to believ you.

  • Overselling something that is true is not the same as flat out lying about the efficacy of a random pharmaceutical. Not even in the same neighbourhood.

    "Don’t replace the culture war with class war" pleads British columnist

    Jump

  • The culture wars serve as a distraction from the class warfare conducted by the wealthy. It's like the joke about the billionaire, the worker and the immigrant going to a bbq. Come to think of it, that joke is actually an almost perfect embodiment of the above hypothesis.
