  • There was a TV show. Stephen Fry 100 greatest gadgets.

    For 1 he told a story about how some guy was talking to a largely uncontacted tribe and they were really interested in their tech.

    So he knew they would have a supply drop and took them out to see the plane for the first time ever. The tribe was remarkable unimpressed with the sight.

    The guy asked what was up and they came back with the reply “You can make fire from your fingertips. Of course you can fly”

    He named the lighter the number 1 gadget.



  • If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.

    Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.

    I bet every actor is on fin.

    Mate you got some serious, serious problems. And you need to take a step back and look at your life. You have an internet addition if nothing else. You obsess over arguments and have a superiority complex.

    You need therapy.

    I literally don’t care about Columbus. The guys been dead for a million years. Why should I care about him, out of all the millions of people in the history books you seem to have a hardon for this guy. I don’t. I don’t care. Why him specifically? There are much much more interesting people out there that I just don’t care about Columbus even slightly fuck him and fuck you.

    The fuck you is justified because you said this to me

    Maybe you’re okay with cutting off the hands of non-white people. Is that it?

    You want a reaction out of me so you can block me. If you are going to hide behind your mod powers because thats all you go, and going to make out people are racist because I don’t care about one guy you want to get in an argument about. Then you’re a cunt.

    This is the equivalent of describing Hitler as “a guy who helped the German economy.”

    What’s the comparison exactly? What did i (not you) say about Columbus that is equivalent to that?

    You’re full of shit.

    He thought the world was smaller than it is and found the Americas.

    I know who he is I just don’t care. There are plenty of people in the history books but I don’t give a shit about Columbus.

    Even in terms of explorers he’s a shit one. I’d rather read about someone else.

    So you are just circle jerking over the fact that you all share the exact same idea that didn’t need to be said because you all know it. But by announcing it you can all circle jerk over the fact that you all had the same view?

    Being a killjoy can be a funny joke.

    Having something of noteworthiness just for being woke is meaningless.

    Like whats the point? Oh wow Columbus is bad. What insightful, thought provoking idea, no one has ever thought that before. It is so original and so funny. Classic. Absolutely brilliant, I wish I could shake your hand.

    No it achieves nothing. It is showing your tribe that you hold a view that is already strongly established in that tribe and everyone congratulates you and themselves for holding a view that everyone holds and announcing it to the world. That’s why its woke, its pointless. It’s not interesting or funny.

    Facts about one of the worst people in history, along with the jokey implication that he’s in hell, are so woke, aren’t they?

    “Hitler is in hell.” Omg that’s hilarious. You so wise and witty and funny, what a clever connection you made in a humours way. No, that’s not a joke.

    It’s woke because it isn’t a joke. It is some feel good sense woke people can go “Yea!” too and pat each other on the back.

    Clearly the *non*-woke thing would be to celebrate the guy who was so atrocious to the natives that even the Spanish royals were outraged and had him brought back to Spain in chains.

    No really no. I guess a non woke joke in this context would be more like “hey I’m dead, I can see me uncle!” “Umm… No he’s in a different place” “no that totally make senses, I can see that”.

    It’s not a joke set purely on the premise of circle jerking some social justice statement that people pretend is constructed into a funny joke because people want to feel like they are on the right side. But it does change the pace and direction, which is how a lot of jokes are constructed.

    I don’t mind dark jokes and I don’t mind clean jokes. A woke joke isn’t about being funny it’s about commended for having the right view.

    But hey, he “discovered America,” am I right? Ignoring the millions of people who already lived there at the time, along with the Vikings who got there 500 years before he did.

    There could be a joke in there but it wouldn’t be a good one.

    Just to be clear the additional context someone else added means that joke could have had humour in it.





  • I’m not going through your data dump. You just gisp galloping

    Asylum is abused. We are talking economic immigrants here.

    We need a data driven decision. Not listening to you who “know” things based on feels.

    It’s white nativism, which is a form of racism, whether you are aware or not

    See you full of shit because I’m not. The issues with people from Hong Kong, or Japan or the pacific or actual asylum countries crossing their nearest board to get away rather than get to like Ukraine is fine. Even places like Nigeria show much better stats than others. Though total numbers are also important (with the exception of actual issues like Ukraine)

    I would love data driven info. That’s what the people want. But also things like culture are exceptionally important to people more so than even money and people should get a vote on it rather being told to accept people that hate homosexuals or treat women like second class citizens just so the ruling class can make more money from houses and cheap wages. You come to a country the least you can do is act like a member of that country.
