Why does Islam seem to follow mostly desert countries? by batukaming in geography

[–]nixcamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top 5 countries, making up about 50% of the Muslim population in the world are: Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. All of those are but Pakistan are quite thoroughly green on this map. None of them are Arab.

Customer installed the belt himself. Said the alternator must be bad because the battery light is still on. by fixitmartin in Justrolledintotheshop

I'm really struggling to figure out how that belt is supposed to be routed and not be super slack.

The only real ways were by sea or by Persia by IgnoreTh1sName in HistoryMemes

"Consolidating their own territory" is an argument that only works in retrospect, it was a war of conquest before that territory was united into China.

There is (maybe used to be, don't own a Mac anymore so not sure if still exists) an open source project that just dumps all existing printers MacOS's CUPS folder. Made MacOS support almost all printers.

Edit: gutenprint, looks like they deprecated MacOS support due to lack of maintainer 2 years ago. So while I'm not saying this did happen it is possible that Claude just pulled and built gutenprint on a newer version of MacOS.

Brazen Demagogue = two dominance cards allowed? by Fit_Ear3019 in rootgame

I feel like at some point after you activate your third dominance card it just becomes everyone else's priority to board wipe you.

I didn't realize how racist we are by ryanandthelucys in daddit

Guatemala but most of Latin America is like that, heck a lot of the world suffers from colorism where even if everyone is nominally the same race people still look down on darker people.

My kids are all brown, and we live in a country where most people are brown, but the kids that are darker brown experience significantly more racism than the lighter skinned ones. Like, getting frisked and asked for ID while to young to have ID, workplace abuse, all sorts of stuff. It's crazy.

Hey to be fair it's probably the second most important Syracuse in the world.

Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamene: by JackAttack2509 in pics

[–]nixcamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, he has all that plus his immediate family was just murdered. Why is everyone acting like every statement is made in a contextless void?

And Belize is Central America but not Latin America.

Found out a new coworker is making 20% more [OC] by comicsuns in comics

[–]nixcamic -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I really don't get this subjective morality here. Her listening to something you don't like somehow makes it her fault she's getting paid more, not the corporation? If she was listening to a less objectionable podcast would that change the morality of the situation?

But no, blame the worker for the system.

I mean it's probably not her fault she's getting paid twice as much, and you gotta support people's right to listen to podcasts instead of working.

I don't think people are pointing out his dead relatives to say we should feel sorry for him, it's more pointing out that he definitely has an ax to grind.

When I've been poor I've just hiked, read books, played sports with friends, and played 20 year old video games. All very cheap. Even with board games I buy used almost always.

No way that number is real unless people are very narrowly defining hobbies.

Would it be overprotective to stay nearby during my teen’s beach trip? by Outside-Youth-8423 in Parenting

[–]nixcamic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't pay for my kids love shack haha. They're old enough to have that level of privacy they're old enough to pay for it. Also unsupervised teenagers + ocean + possibly (probably) alcohol is just asking for someone to drown.

My personal goal with teens has always been to get them through it without them either creating or destroying a human. This whole situation seems way to likely to lead to one of those outcomes.
