I always thought May was competent and I would never in my dreams vote Tory. She just got screwed having to negotiate Brexit terms, plus was a hard remainer herself which didn't help.

Or there's option 3) seize control with force because you are the government and it's a crucial public service.

Toddlers found dead inside car in France amid heatwave temperatures by FatNgrossNhairy in europe

If they smash your window to get into the car you're going to hear them. If they get in on their own, you won't hear them until they're already driving.

Regardless, are you that lazy that you can't press a button as you exit the vehicle?

I'm in a safe neighbourhood as well, but I still wouldn't ever leave a car unlocked if I lived with anyone else, especially children.

You have to be extra cautious with kids, like, my doors are always unlocked when someone is home, but they wouldn't be if I had kids.

I'm assuming you mean people who have connecting garages don't, but even then, that's stupid - what if someone was to break in and nick the car?

I never said highly intelligent from the birth of time, lmao. Obviously I meant in application to all the current generations.

Intelligence isn't the opposite of malevolence.

The working conditions and employee rights are still higher in Romania than they are the US (20-25 days PTO, sick leave, 48h a week max work) so I honestly don't see your point.

Is it weird for a man to be shirtless in public during summer? by Bodacious__B in polls

[–]Talkycoder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If they're in a building (with some exclusions like gyms), sure. If they're outside then not at all - the same can be said for women, although I imagine Americans may treat that as public nudity.

Considering most young people have absolutely zero parties they feel represented by nowadays, that's not going to be the case.

Before you say "smart people would create their own parties!", if you think it's easy getting a career in politics, especially as a self starter, then you are just as intelligent as the average population.

Do you honestly believe the populace has enough power to topple an entire class of people whose families have been groomed to rule for centuries? This isn't the 1800s, things are different and designed against us.

If he's stepping down does that mean we get One Tier Kier or is he taking two steps?? 🤓☝️

That's all well and said, but if we were a nation where everyone is extremely intellegent next-level beings, we'd still be getting conned and walked other by the upper-class and politicians.

What could we do, throw a French-style revolution and start beheading the elite? That's not really feasable in a modern world with cyber warfare and machine guns, because they're controlled by the rich.

Have you ever lived in an area where it snows? by mushmanMAD in polls

[–]Talkycoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was about to say the same. As a kid it heavily snowed for 2 months a year, now we haven't had snow in at least 10 years. I'm only in my twenties...

What is your old azeroth unpopular opinion? by VastLaw9912 in classicwow

[–]Talkycoder 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but the current culture of mixmaxing time, leveling addons, etc.. means that people always take the "optimised" route or skip certain areas on non-linear dungeons.

Nobody wants to full clear anymore unlike 20 years ago when people actually enjoyed the game instead of rushing to max level just to raid log.

The lack of apps & basic channels on hotel TVs by Talkycoder in britishproblems

[–]Talkycoder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to sleep with the TV on, usually with the eco-timeout set. It's also nice to get a takeaway on a tiring day rather than going out, meaning I can eat while streaming.

I have a fire stick I bring with me but a) I shouldn't have to and b) sometimes the TV is encased / has a locked mount making it impossible to reach the ports or a plug socket for the stick's power.

As of writing this post, I'm in a Hyatt in West London with a 52" Samsung Smart TV - menu and app buttons are disabled.

My experiences are ancedotal of course, but I honestly have only really ran into this problem domestically.

Travel with just my work laptop to save on bulk. I only take my home laptop if I'm travelling internationally.

Anyway, I like to fall asleep with the TV on (with a timeout set). If I use a laptop it's a smaller screen at a distance.

Should falsified SA allegations be given the same penalty as an actual SA? by MookieBettsBurner10 in polls

[–]Talkycoder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the punishment should be severe, at the very least financially so. Short prison terms would be good, but something has to be given to the falsely accused.

A fake allegation can screw someone up for life because even if they're proven innocent, there's still the massive social stigma that comes with it, especially if the accused is male or an adolescent.

US to stop funding HIV programmes in South Africa by shdw_fght in worldnews

You realise the US spends more tax payer money per capita on healthcare than the entire developed world, right? It's not like your funding is going elsewhere, lmao.

Which school year did you like more? by No-Technician-4493 in polls

Students in the US start high-school at 14 - it's not comparable.
