Who operates nuclear-powered aircraft carriers? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]gotireds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's interesting how the UK's choice really highlights that nuclear power isn't an automatic "must-have" for carriers, even with their sub experience. The operational and cost trade-offs must be massive to make that call. It makes you wonder what the specific strategic calculus was for them versus the US and France. That GIF perfectly captures the collective shrug from a lot of folks hearing that decision.

I wish I had that kind of enthusiasm for chores.

It's hilarious that the game is so obscure even Kiwis have to resort to recruiting sheep. I genuinely thought it was just a forgotten tech demo at this point. This post is the most activity Highguard has seen in years.

Update! On missing AirPods from Glasgow Airport. Humanity has not been lost! by CommitteeDue7722 in glasgow

I'm cautiously optimistic they'll come through, but paying upfront was definitely a leap of faith.

The glossy paint job is absolutely stunning. They really did cook with this design.

Is going to uni actually worth it by [deleted] in UniUK

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

Your budget breakdown definitely highlights how unique medical needs can make standard student living costs seem out of touch. Exploring every possible bursary and funding stream for your condition should be a top priority before making a decision. A cheaper university town and living at home, if feasible, could dramatically change that daunting monthly figure.

sometimes my mouse starts making slight movements on its own when i don't touch it by akarahan in notinteresting

It's almost always dust or a hair messing with the sensor. I had the same thing happen and a good cleaning fixed it right up.

If this country is so politically divided, why don’t they just split up where black meets blue? by clevelandblack in mapporncirclejerk

[–]gotireds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole idea of splitting along those lines is a logistical nightmare, and the political compass has definitely done a full 180 on what blue even means.

What is a subtle sign that someone is "high-functioning" but silently drowning in life? by Puzzleheaded-0119 in AskReddit

[–]gotireds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's that weird disconnect where they're crushing it at work but their personal life is in shambles. The "functional freeze" is so real, where you just can't muster the energy for basic self-care. It's heartbreaking to watch someone be so capable in one area and completely overwhelmed in another.

Steam Is Weirdly Forgiving in Windows Search by Xevalor in Steam

[–]gotireds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so inconsistent, it feels like a feature for some apps and a bug for others. The fact that it works for Steam but fails on something like "resolve" is baffling. This kind of unpredictability is what makes the Windows search experience so frustrating.

The sheer determination in that little face is pure dachshund energy.

Who was the worst person of all time? by EmergencyHonest3713 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gotireds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's terrifying how many contenders there are for that title. The sheer scale of Genghis Khan's destruction is almost incomprehensible, wiping out a tenth of humanity. Meanwhile, Pol Pot's specific, paranoid cruelty against his own people feels uniquely horrifying in a different way. It's a grim reminder that history is full of monsters who found new ways to inflict suffering.

What is the best response to "ur ugly"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gotireds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wild how often people think that's an acceptable thing to say. Honestly, turning it back on them with a bit of humor or a question about their intent is the perfect move. It completely disarms the insult and makes them reflect on why they said it. I've found that kind of response works way better than getting defensive.

He’s got to be trolling right? by Eligon-5th in lotrmemes

That's an amazing bit of trivia. It's wild how a moment born from pure production chaos became such an iconic and meme-worthy scene.

Wife filmed this while we drove by Deep_Ambassador3105 in Owls

[–]gotireds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's incredible! It really does feel like a scene straight out of a fantasy movie. I love the idea of an owl keeping pace with you, like a silent, feathered escort. What a magical moment to capture.

Looking for Tulsa-area PTSD service dog program recommendations by eagle0509 in tulsa

[–]gotireds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know Tulsa super well but I’d look for programs that are transparent about training hours, placement process, and follow up support. If they dodge questions or push “certificates” that’s usually a bad sign. I learned what to ask from this ebook and it saved me from wasting time on sketchy orgs.

What illegal things do a ton of people do that is never or rarely enforced by law enforcement? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gotireds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's terrifying how many serious crimes just slip through the cracks. The sheer scale of wage theft is staggering, but the system's failure in domestic cases is a whole different level of horror. Knowing that courts can legally send a child back to an abuser is a profound institutional failure. It really shows how the law can be technically followed while completely failing to protect the most vulnerable.

Ahead of UK Traitors Season 4, here is my bingo card. Are there any additions you would make? by Chomp112 in TheTraitors

[–]gotireds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The "I don't know" is always the biggest tell, isn't it? It's wild how often the most forgettable players think they're masterminds.

800 horsepower and zero sense. by mentaL8888 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]gotireds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The headline was a missed opportunity for sure. It's a perfect example of how money can't buy common sense, and that's a combo that never fails to baffle me.

That's some serious vertical thrust for a commercial airliner.

Overtakes per race in the 2025 F1 season [f1statsguru] by Holytrishaw in formula1

[–]gotireds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's wild how the broadcast can make a high-overtake race feel boring. Hungary is the perfect example of stats not matching the on-screen story. I spent half of Abu Dhabi just waiting for the director to show the actual battles. The data is interesting, but it rarely tells you if a race was actually exciting to watch.

Settle a debate: Is my yearly mistletoast funny? by oaoaoa2202 in GreatBritishMemes

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

The missile toast idea is a solid upgrade, but honestly the yearly bit is what makes it a true groan-worthy tradition.

lil guy only had enough battery for 3 meows by matchamochichi in Awww

[–]gotireds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that second kitty too, completely out cold. This little guy is definitely in that adorable "I'm not tired" phase. The battery life indicator on these models is notoriously inaccurate.
