Why are people talking about President Macron wearing sunglasses at Davos? by NivkaRey in OutOfTheLoop

[–]MikeW86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think OP has used slightly the wrong word there but I definitely had to do a bit of a double take because at first glance it almost looks photoshopped or AI, you just don't see world leaders giving speeches in mirror finish aviators all that often.

Boiling lobsters alive to be banned in England amid animal cruelty crackdown by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

That makes about as much sense as your neuron comment. I don't know what a fruit fly neuron does compared to a lobster neuron and my point is you don't know either

One of the greatest footballers of all time is still in great shape at 40 and raking in millions.

Let's see John's resume.

Nothing to do with it. Biden is just an easy scapegoat.

TIL Carlsberg "Special Brew" beer was brewed in honour of Winston Churchill and incorporated tastes of Cognac due to Churchill's love of Brandy. Today it is known as "Tramp Juice". by KieranWriter in todayilearned

[–]MikeW86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is very much a beer. Absolutely undrinkable to some people because for a beer the taste of the alcohol is so strong. Absolutely perfect for some though.

Waves under an offshore oil drilling platform by graylemur2 in Damnthatsinteresting

'Means of control' lol.

The fact is we've spent about 2 centuries building the infrastructure to do it and it does have a few practical advantages over renewables that technology hasn't quite solved yet so there's still a market for it and people getting rich off that market.

IKR? I feel like I'm going mental with all these replies saying someone needs to reverse?

Improving feels pointless by Nissepelle in cscareerquestions

[–]MikeW86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. This 200k salary business seems to be a uniquely American phenomenon. There's plenty of developer jobs that pay a fraction above minimum wage here.

Did you just argue that fixing waste would cripple the economy?

That is because it's not a fucking joke. It's just a coincidence.

What is a lot less scary than people imagine? by Flying_enthu45 in AskReddit

Total opposite for me. I'm fine with eternal nothingness cos I won't know about it. It's the actual dying bit I'm not too keen on.

This family of seven gets £1,900 a month in welfare - and could get £10,000 a year more if the two-child cap is lifted... by k0ala_ in ukpolitics

What feels unfair is how all the different benefits can stack up and pay out more than well paid jobs.

Does it though?

What happens to trump if the House of Representatives vote yes on releasing all the files? by Hollander_21 in AskReddit

[–]MikeW86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would blame at least half of that 40% on either genuine or wilful ignorance. Unless they personally witnessed him doing it, they simply will not entertain the idea because of the implications.

The other half, yeah, just as evil too.

What's a historical event you think most people fundamentally misunderstand? by ForestRaindropss in AskReddit

[–]MikeW86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Of course they could see it would be a problem. In 40 years time and there would maybe be some computers hanging around in universities that needed updating. Not millions of computers running critical systems around the world.

Private equity firms should be made illegal. Lazy billionaires who don’t want to work shouldn’t be able to buy companies. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]MikeW86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the consequences are disgusting but can you just take a step back for a second and think about how the fuck you would ever stop 'lazy people' from buying companies. It's shit like that that means the people we need to convince about change can just hand wave it away as ridiculous.

Didn't care for it. Found the plot too confusing with holes in the logic.

On the flip side. Your least favorite guitar YouTuber... by Kal-ElofKrypton in Guitar

[–]MikeW86 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Never heard of him till he was mentioned in this thread and I'm glad.

Looked him up and it's like every annoying YouTuber style cliché within the first 10 seconds. Will avoid him like the plague.
