Before this comment, I thought my anecdote of “I had this a few years ago and decided to just let whatever it was kill me” was too bleak to post

There’s plenty of other ways to teach that…I’ll bet kids who worked during the industrial revolution had pretty good coordination, too, but we’re not teaching that in schools

(sorry if they go into this, I can’t watch the video right now but I know about alternative prop designs on quads)

These things are so awesome for steady, predictable trips but hey lose a lot of appeal for hobbyists because they’re more expensive, fragile, and finicky. And that’s made worse by sizing them down for FPV quads. Don’t want to snap a blade when you’re mid-air and especially not when you’re navigating to your target

I mostly watch British shows. But you’re kind of right about the last part, the last non-english show I watched was the second season of Kongen Befaler and I feel like that doesn’t count.

So, does the US not make some of the best TV shows? Or are you only aware of the sitcoms and reality shows?

I’m jumping on the dog pile to tell you to watch Andor. I am NOT a Star Wars guy but I got talked into this one by a friend who knows my general distaste for the franchise.

It’s fantastic, I really have nothing bad to say about it. It’s not campy like Star Wars, it doesn’t feel rushed, and the stakes a lot more visceral.

It’s also extremely relevant in 2026

Nemik’s manifesto would be my pick, too, mainly because it resonated with me when I was feeling helpless about the world

I’ll bet it’s more like

1 in 5 boys either knows someone their age who delusionally thinks they’re in a relationship with a chatbot, knows someone who claims they’re dating a chatbot as a joke, or is just fucking around

There’s a non-insignificant chance the boys they surveyed weren’t taking it seriously. “Oh yeah, I totally know someone dating a chatbot”

Those pearls you’re clutching must feel so good right now

You’re already fucked, but your opiates of shitty TV, pissy beer, fast food and the satisfaction that you seem to enjoy when you see people who are really suffering seem to placate you

My god, update your stereotypes. There are SOOO many things to shit in the US for but these make you look uncultured.

The US makes some of the best TV in the world. And unless you’ve got state run media, your country is full of the same trash TV.

I see you’re ignorant to the local breweries all across the country. Do you shit on dutch beer because of Heineken, too?

The fast food thing has some merit because yeah, it’s trash. But American cuisine is as varied as all of Europe. Calling out fast food feels like a nitpick. You’ve got lazy fast food slobs in your country, too.

All of which really makes the last part seem undeservedly arrogant

Cursed as in occult origins, not cursed as in bad luck

What the fuck kind of reply is this? This guy is saying he refused to deploy and you’re acting like he supports Trump…? What??

I have yet to see anything like that…Are these Americans threatening to leave the fediverse in the room with us now?

But the only reason you thought you had to spell it out is because you thought I disagreed. I know our voting system is awful and I hate voting for the lesser of two evils

He, she, his, her…my dad will use each one to refer to the same dog at different times. He’s done this with every dog any of us have ever had. We’ve given up correcting him.

So maybe pronouns literally ARE too much for some people lol

Why?? This is my answer as well. There’s just not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do. There are so many things I haven’t even bothered trying because I know I don’t have the time to learn it well enough for it to be worthwhile.

I know my car repairs are DIYable but I don’t have the prerequisite knowledge so it will take me too long to be cost effective. If I didn’t have to sleep, I’ve got an extra 8 hours a day to learn.

I’m from Chicago and there’s no shortage of incredible museums. There’s even a leather museum…like…of the daddy variety. Couldn’t be further from my interests but I still want to check it out just for fun

That rocks. Years ago I had an coworker from Iraq and we hit it off so every weekend we’d go to a new place (museum, history, etc) and try a new restaurant.

Unfortunately his wife was never able to integrate and became very depressed. They wound up moving back to Jordan and I haven’t been to a museum since. It’s nice to learn about stuff through someone else’s perspective, I would have never gotten into it alone

Why would I want an ambassador? I want Israel on the designated terrorists list

There’s a lot that’s unbelievable about their friend group but I dunno about the race/sexuality demographic being one of them. It’s much weirder that it’s an even 3/3 gender split

I wish it was just bait but people definitely think like this. Same type of person who tends to call things “problematic”
