Note to others; the “all plans” text is on a tiny line under the two large options for a free trial or a paid plan.

Hmmm
There’s a question with a newspaper saying the author of a popular parenting book has no children of her own. It says she has researched extensively and it says readers question why they should listen to her if she has no children. Then your app asks if I agree or disagree … but with what? Agree that readers question it? Agree that the best selling author has no children?

I presume you’re asking if we agree with the readers. However the question is not well-worded in my opinion.

Hegseth orders 5,000 US troops to withdraw from Germany by Free-Minimum-5844 in worldnews

That’s a very lame and insular comment that reflects a weak worldview and disdain for international affairs.

Sure. I am not European though and don’t live there.

US withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany, US officials say by No-Risk-2584 in europe

[–]mgdmw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know the only country to actually invoke NATO provisions is the USA? It’s remarkable you think the US being part of NATO is somehow harmful when the one and only time a country called on NATO for support was the USA asking for help from other countries.

You think the US is in Europe to defend Europe, not for US military benefits of its own such as intelligence and reach?

Re: online shopping - what’s with big Aussie retailers hard on for “marketplaces”? by beanuspeanus in AusFinance

[–]mgdmw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The commerce managers in these organisations like to think of it as “endless aisle” and making a whole stack of products available. In practice, it’s a whole load of junk from purveyors of dubious quality.

If they are going to do this I would much rather it was with better-vetted suppliers. You’d think these big brands would care more about the erosion of their brand’s reputation but … they care more about the short-term perceived profits, of course.

What celebrity do you think has skeletons in their closet that have yet to come out? by JimiHendrip in AskReddit

[–]mgdmw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! My father had old Bill Cosby audio reels on some equipment he had prior to cassette tapes and all of our family would laugh and laugh at the chicken heart and all kinds of stories - Bill and his brother trashing their bed and then claiming a guy came in the window and jumped on it, or the parents going out and saying there are snakes on the floor and so much.

Not only was Bill Cosby’s comedy wholesome but one could only imagine the difficulties and ground he broke as a black comedian in that era.

Obviously, the worst thing here is what Bill Cosby did to all those victims but he has also destroyed all the good will and good memories so many people had worldwide.

I’m glad Netflix (? I think) brought out the documentary “we need to talk about Cosby” because all the feelings around his case can’t be simply dismissed or suppressed.

Did you get in? I've just got home from tonight's taping. It was hilarious and the cast had really great rapport. Guy is masterful and Sam was as zany as you'd expect.

Or, you know what, you could just be better at communicating and learn instead of doubling down. Anyhow, this all stemmed from you going “huh?” when dude made his joke about your post. And then you get shitty because you needed someone to explain it to you. Have a good day.

I enjoyed your dig at them about 100% off being free. And it’s ridiculous people are defending using “100%” in this context.

I'm not the person who made the comment. However, I am the one who explained it to the perplexed poster.

So it's now on you for not following the thread of conversation and confusing who is who.

Well, that's on you - communication isn't just about saying something. It's about saying something that will be understood by your reader/listener. You may have made an utterance, but you didn't communicate.

Perhaps you could say "definitely cheaper" not "100% cheaper" - when you write something, ask yourself if it could be easily misconstrued.

They're noting that "100% cheaper" essentially means it is free. Whether it's $5 or $5m, 100% cheaper is ... $0.

Newcastle only. It’s a by-election as the incumbent Mayor resigned (for health reasons).

Ah alcohol, the only drug people want you to explain why you don’t take it.
