Scraped my car tire rim on a curb the other day and mashing Ctrl + Z in my brain for minutes afterwards :(

I see one such comment, which is in response to Iran blaming the US, and to me reads as a sarcastic retort to a ridiculous claim by Iran

Let's assume Norway has 5 million people and the US has 300 million people, and they're going to have a taco eating contest.

If every American eats 1 taco, that's ~300 million tacos eaten. If every Norwegian eats 30 tacos, that's "only" 150 million tacos eaten (30 x 5mil = 150mil).

If we're talking about total tacos eaten, Norway "loses" the eating competition. But that's not really fair because the US has 60x more people participating.

If we're talking about tacos per person (aka normalizing for the population), Norway wins the competition because each person ate 30x more tacos than the average American.

So, which country eats more tacos? The answer depends if you're counting total number of tacos eaten, or average number of tacos eaten per person (aka per capita).

Did you read their whole comment? They addressed that and pointed it out several times themselves.

You're forgetting one important thing - Bezos needs more money! Line must go up. Always. At any cost.

I was a long time subscriber as well, but canceled right before Christmas 2022. I missed it for about a week and then I realized most things I "needed immediately" from Amazon I could either 1) drive across town to purchase from brick and mortar or 2) actually just wait for it.

The end result has been me buying less things I don't need, and buying the things I do need from local retailers (and of course big box stores), or ordering them from other online retailers since the shipping is comparable to Amazon.

2 years in and I don't miss it at all, will never go back. I do want to watch the Fallout series though.

Cope more sad person LMAOOOOOOO

The modern Leonardo da vinci, ladies and gentlemen

Maybe other people just enjoy something and there's no reason to put them down for it. I wish I knew something you enjoyed so I could make fun of you for it. Sad person.

that's what the gun is for, the bullets can outrun anyone, even an unarmed child

Then the jury will be targeted instead of the judge, so he'd prefer that.

I didn't assume anything about you, I was just adding my piece

Which is when people should be able to peacefully protest

Biden has beat Trump once already, Hilary never did. Maybe he's confident for a reason.

"He shouldn't be confident because a different candidate was confident once and they lost, that means confidence is bad and meaningless"

I'm sure trump is confident too, how does that make you feel? Should he be?

Name 5 things, I'd like some examples.

The graduation ceremony isn't your reward for your work. At least, it shouldn't be. Your reward for graduating is the opportunities that you've opened for yourself for the next chapter of your life. I didn't go to mine and I haven't regretted it for a second. The knowledge didn't leave my brain, at least not as a result of missing graduation.

Old people have a suicide death grip on this country and they would rather die and be buried under the rubble of their own hubris than let the people that have an actual stake in the future change anything.

I think the news in 2022 was still pretty hellish. I'm going to go with (before:2013). Some hell still, but a naively optimistic hell

You guys get to make fun of the imperial system, and healthcare, and fahrenheit, and gun crime. Let us have one thing.

To be fair, that fella likely committed a heinous crime such as believing that the earth was not the center of the solar system, or speaking to a wealthy person
