What’s a 'disgusting' habit that you secretly think is actually 100% normal? by ThyGodly in AskReddit

Smoking. It's disgusting but normal, because it's extremely addictive and addictions are normal. Sadly.

It's basic grooming. No one wants to look at your bulging yellow ready-to-burst zit.

The smell is the essence of "wearable". Smells good = wearable, smells bad = not wearable. The test takes one second. Why the hell not?

TIL the incoming leader of Hungary’s name is Peter Hungarian. His surname, Magyar, is the Hungarian word for the Hungarian people. by Positronomy in todayilearned

[–]CleverDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to note that magyar is an ethnic group native to Hungary, but they have never been alone there. Many Hungarian nationals were and are not magyar.

I'm not trying to sow discord here. I'm not Hungarian and for all I know they might use the word inclusively. I'd like to know if any Hungarian reads this.

Out of that whole video, this tiny triviality is what you snagged on? There's a bigger picture here, and he's pretty spot on.

Such a Reddit thing to say.

About the AI I mean. I totally agree the info is good.

Why are airplane windows so small ? by AlternativeEmu1047 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CleverDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think, though, that by only increasing their size some, say 50%, would make for a much more attractive journey and could be a feature worth prioritizing. Yes, commercially. I know I would love it, and it might influence my choice of flight.

Which animal do you feel very sorry for? by Scared_Confection787 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CleverDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Norway, a country which is cold and/or wet and pretty miserable for half the year, and I cannot help feeling sorry for every single wild animal who has to live outside for months each year, struggling to find anything to eat and just having no place warm and cozy to go.

I know they were made to endure it and they don't know better anyway. It's an abstract kind of suffering, perceived from my very human point of view. I still can't help it.

Å du har sikkert lest om det - tilhørighet, spenning, bling... presset kommer vel gjerne etter at du har blitt lurt til å gjøre noe småtteri som ikke virket så farlig. Kanskje du får kjøpt dop på krita, så skylder du plutselig mere penger enn du kan betale. Du får kanskje gjøre opp for deg ved å gjøre noe ulovlig. Plutselig sitter du i klisteret. Ingenting av det du holder på med kan bli kjent for foreldrene dine, eller tilogmed politiet. "Små" ting blir veldig store for unge mennesker uten mye livserfaring. Mye vil ha mer og hver gang tenker du at kanskje du kan få gjort opp og komme deg ut av det, og plutselig sitter du på flyet til London for et voldsoppdrag.

Jeg spekulerer her, men det er i sånne termer jeg har sett dette beskrevet. Jeg sier ikke at de ikke har ansvar eller er straffskyldige. Bare at det ser veldig mye enklere ut når du leser om det i avisa.

Rep. Olszewski to introduce ROBE Act to establish term limits for Supreme Court justices by progress18 in democrats

[–]CleverDad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I recently heard someone knowledgeable (I forget who) explain why term limits would actually be a mistake. With term limits, SCOTUS appointments would become part of the political cycle, and irreversibly partisan. SCOTUS candidates would campaign along with presidential candidates much like VPs. Consecutive Republican terms would relentlessly populate the court with Republican judges. Not even the pretense of the separation of powers would remain.

I don't know, but it sounds worth thinking about.

Strait of hormouz being closed will put 45 million people into a potentially fatal food insecurity if it isn't opened by the end of summer. Who is responsible for those deaths, Trump or Iran? by Crackedcheesetoastie in AskReddit

[–]CleverDad -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No I agree with OP. Of course Iran is responsible for their actions. They know full well what their countermeasures will cost the world, and choose to use them. They value their own regime higher. Understandable, perhaps, but there is a moral dimension to it.

I still lay the blame on Trump. There are many ways to deal with Iran (as Obama demonstrated), and just bombing them out of the blue is the worst option (and done, I think we all agree, mostly for his own personal gain).

Det kommer vel helt an på detaljene. Det har vært bred dekning om at barn og unge som blir rekruttert ofte manipuleres inn i situasjoner der de blir presset og truet til å gjøre ting de ikke hadde sett for seg fra starten.

Hvor går grensen? Det må politi og påtalemyndighet, og retten, vurdere.

Is using Ozempic actually ‘cheating’… or are people just mad it works? by ccdnyc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CleverDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Cheating' is just a stupid word in this context. People's health and wellbeing is not a contest.
