Are the "Upvote" and "Downvote" buttons "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons?
  • this fairly informative response has downvotes, ironically.

    downvoting something only because you disagree with its contents is a sign of immaturity. it screams, "i personally don't like this viewpoint so i'll do everything in my power to suppress it from everyone else.".

    the mature response would be to leave the voting buttons alone and provide instead a measured response of the reasons for your disagreement.

  • one doesn't track who is going to conceive a child beforehand, one uses carrots and sticks as needed once the child is born and allows the rest of the population to modify their behaviour accordingly.

    (ironically in the context of this response, a system used with great success by china to enforce their one-child policy at the end of the last century without anywhere near the level of tracking which is commonplace in most countries today.)

  • Clown country
  • yes, of course. after all, if a clown is democratically elected in a landslide victory, that clown is representative of everyone that voted them in.

    the cartoonist therefore seems to have forgotten to slap on the clown makeup on all the members of the audience.

  • Wank tank confirmed
  • society has made us see cars more as a statement of one's image rather than an object of utility.

    this is also why luxury brands thrive in general -- because there exist people with more money than sense.

  • i know this is anecdotal but i've sat up front in the bajaj re tuktuk. one can almost see the single front wheel from that position -- visibility for that one vehicle is definitely closer than the 2 meters shown in this graphic.

  • the irony is that versions of such a test are enforced in almost every country when a parent wants to adopt a child. the framework is in place already -- its scope just needs to be expanded.

    although how much such a test would help avoid the scenario in OP, i don't know.

  • source: "Chacha Chaudhury: Duplicate" (literally: Uncle Chaudhury: Duplicate. Chacha Chaudhury has been a famous comic character in india for 40-50 years or so).

    context: some folks have just robbed a bank and are driving away. one of the bank's officers runs after them screaming for them to stop. her usage of the word "booty" is a translation artefact; i haven't read the original hindi version, but i'm guessing the line would have been closer to "stop them, they've looted the bank!".

    adguard vpn selling user data to third-parties?

    my apologies for the long screenshot. i had purchased adguard's vpn service for five years since its primary adguard service is well know in the iapple ecosystem.

    on android, though, their app appears to send data to a lot of third-parties. has it always been this compromised? am i a fool to go for their vpn services as well?

    The Prodigal Son?

    There seems to be heavy consensus to set Son as the captain for GW5. My thoughts are to persist with Haaland. Am I missing something? Son has literally returned only in one game. Yes, TOT may have an easier fixture than MCI, but they are still finding their feet as a team, yes?

    Would it be worth it to disarmband Haaland for Son?
