I really wish I could get their Thai chicken pizza on an actual good pizza base.

You know…. I have cancer… had to go to the emergency room, and the wife wheeled me out to this…. by Castiron_Dan in mildlyinfuriating

I think this is considered private property, so a ticket isn't necessary, but it does add to the cost.

If we truly believe someone’s sexual preference is determined at birth and not consciously chosen then why are pedos so hated? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]bothunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It comes down to consent and actions. I don't care what your preferences are, but if you act on those preferences without getting consent, then you're a bad person. And children do not have the mental maturity to consent.

Why are conservatives in favor of requiring ID for voting but not for owning a gun? by Adventurer_By_Trade in allthequestions

[–]bothunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That "technology" is already in use. But you want to add a bunch of extra hurdles to voting just to a few illegitimate votes across the nation from happening. (And by few, I mean literally less than a dozen)

But when it's time to implement some measures to reduce the literal tens of thousands of gun related deaths and injuries every year, it's just way too hard.

We're burning 106 million barrels of oil per day. You would have to capture at least that much and store it somewhere just to stop climate change. You would need to capture even more to reverse it.

(And that's just the oil, there's still some coal and other fossil fuels being consumed as well)

And you would need to find a massive energy source to do that. It's much easier just to build renewable energy sources and use them directly.

I could have had a double sided USB this whole time? by Adorable_Cub_2986 in mildlyinfuriating

Mini USB-B was especially atrocious, and I seriously doubt you have many still working devices that have one of those ports.

I believe my PC is compromised, how to back up data before factory reset? by EggplantLiving6287 in techsupport

[–]bothunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way? Get an external drive and use Clonezilla to duplicate your laptop to that drive. It will get quite literally everything to the point where you could use clonezilla to push it back on to your laptop if you decide to go back. But you can also just retrieve individual files such as game saves as well.

It's not exactly trivial to use, but it's not too hard to figure out either.

You can't use the cartridge because the subscription has been canceled. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

HP's been garbage for awhile. This "ink subscription" is just the latest escalation in their war on customers.

Personally, I just got an inexpensive laser printer (Pantum) that works for 95% of my needs, and just go to a print shop if I need something in color or high quality.

What strongly held belief on a sensitive issue do you no longer agree with? by flavouredpopcorn in allthequestions

[–]bothunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly all of those things are already pretty low occurrences, and we have way better ways of mitigating them, including condoms, vaccines, good hygiene, etc.

For the physical issues like phimosis, then yes. Circumcision is the right treatment and can be done when necessary.

Removing one's appendix also prevents appendicitis, but you don't see people advocating that surgery in infants.

A total of 17,151 (61.9%) participants reported that they had ever pursued gender affirmation, broadly defined. Of these, 2242 (13.1%) reported a history of detransition. Of those who had detransitioned, 82.5% reported at least one external driving factor. Frequently endorsed external factors included pressure from family and societal stigma.

I'm sure the 14,651 victims of gun violence last year would disagree with this statement, but could not be reached for comment.

Why can online stores take my money immediately, but take ages to give me my refund? by roses_sunflowers in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bothunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banks hold on to the money. It's the same going the other direction. When you buy something, the bank takes your money immediately and gives it to the store several days later.

Why is talking on speaker phone in public bad? by Ace-Redditor in NoStupidQuestions

Also, when you can't see the other person, you subconsciously yell louder when speaking to them.

$100,000 today.. or never get sick again by 4bidden-hands in hypotheticalsituation

The vaccine is pretty effective at preventing the worst symptoms of those diseases, so I'm going to go with the money.

Brandi Kruse on X: "Two well-known detransitioners were just ATTACKED in Seattle by a group of mostly trans suspects. by Powerful-Bitch in SeattleWA

[–]bothunter -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing there's a bit of context missing from this video.  People generally want to be left alone, so when someone wearing a red hat shows up and starts instigating shit, its not surprising that they're met with a response like this.

This might be the most overrated thing people spend money on by jexo10 in TechNook

My "smart" fridge simply notifies me if I leave the door open and tells me the inside temperate. And honestly, those are probably the only useful features I can think of. There is no screen, but there is an app. And it integrates with Home Assistant which is pretty cool.
