But lukewarm and mid isn’t.

Bowties are cool.

halvar , 3 days ago to memes in USA presidential candidates

I’m from Europe (Hungary) and I watched the first 20 minutes of the debate (with the intent of finishing the whole thing in one go) before turning it off while basically being on the brink of crying. The US presidents basically have as much say in my life as my own government (if not more) and even though I can’t vote for them, if I had to I’d be lost. Because it’s not that one is old and the other is crazy it’s a freaking Venn diagram of crazy RFK jr., demented Biden and then of course crazy and demented Trump. Seeing the debate and how these people basically can’t put two sentences after each other without breaking up is terrifying. And one of them will be voted into the most important office on the planet.

I mean it’s shit over here. We can choose between a guy who already stole half of our country, someone whose messy divorce somehow made him the most important member of the opposition and this other guy who stole the other half of the country before the current dude did. (And that’s just the tip of the iceberg). But maaan are we a lot better off than the world’s greatest country where two unsupervised parties get to point at the people you can vote into this ridiculously powerful position. And then they pick these guys.

We’re all going to die and I can’t even vote for whoever gets us killed, which is ultimately for the better. This way I can die with a clear conscience.

Just watched that episode for the first time and somehow it didn’t even occur to me

I hear that’s been an issue of debate in the Vatican since around the 70s and one of the cardinals is very keen on summoning a council to settle it.

halvar , 17 days ago to showerthoughts in With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

Shouldn’t a woman and a man with the same height, weight, and body-muscle percentage be basically identical in terms of athleticism or am I wrong?

Isn’t that what a password-manager should solve?

halvar , 21 days ago to showerthoughts in The only way to do stuff that has to be perfect, is to arrange things so that *you* don't have to be perfect.

I like this. It’s not really helpful in the sense that it seems almost as hard as being perfect yourself, but nonetheless it’s possible, contrary to the alternative.

And I removed the “the” in much the same way.

halvar , 24 days ago to greentext in Anon tries to keep his hands busy

I know you’re all excited because you just understood the “correlation does not equal causation” principle, but “being religious” generally means being christian in english and I think you are just refusing to see that.

I think it’s a paraphrase of a culturally significant webcomic inserted into a more modern context without it’s original meaning being altered.

halvar , 27 days ago to greentext in "Anon" has problems with cybersecurity [Mod approved non-greentext]

why is life like this?

Because the whole thing started with anon forgeting their password, the solution for which should be complicated and secure, which it is.

A candian probably would start dating anon just to be polite.
