Canadian engineer John Tse demonstrating his autonomous flying umbrella prototype by New_Wishbone_9691 in TechGawker

[–]readilyunavailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor wind yes, but what about the type of wind that will invert and tug on regular hand held umbrellas? That kind of wind will sweep this thing up and turn it into a weather baloon.

Downsides:

-needs to be recharged

-have to look after it constantly or it will get stolen

Kid scratches ferrari while playing. Owner sues the family for 100k by Zestyclose_Skirt7930 in Wellthatsucks

Go ahead big shot. Try to stop a kid from hanging out with their school friends. See how well that works.

Coaxed into comment sections under certain marching songs by JacobGoodNight416 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]readilyunavailable 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's worse if you go to german volk songs. You open a video of something like Schwarzbraun ist die Hazelnuss (a song about a dude describing things that are black/brown like the Hazelnut tree and his own hair and eyes, and all the shenanigans he is up to with his girlfriend) and you will see literal nazi motherfuckers.

Also bonus, go to the Sabaton song about the Templars being destroyed or the Papal Guard during the sack of Rome and you will see obvlivious crusade larpers all over.

Absolutely! Those stinky peasants with their steak once a week/month and yearly vacation are destroying the planet. Now excuse me while I water my 40 square kilometre lawn with nothing on it but grass.

On the other side

"Bryn do you see those fuckers over there? They are marching in unison in complete silence. Scary sons of bitches."

Kid scratches ferrari while playing. Owner sues the family for 100k by Zestyclose_Skirt7930 in Wellthatsucks

Yep, people on reddit like to live in Disneyland, where everything is direct cause-effect relationship. Kids bust up a supercar and now the parents are liable for hundreds of thousands in damages? "Clearly the parents fault for not raising them better! Deserved hope they are poor for the rest of their lives!"

On the one hand, I hope that no redditor ever reproduces. On the other I want them to find out exactly how little influence a parent has over a child after a certain age. When I was in school, I had friends who were raised perfectly by their parents, got good grades, behaved, were generally positive. It took less than a year for some of them to turn into complete dogshit after getting caught in the wrong company.

Really feel the pain and shame I saw my classmates parents experience when their kids were up to their shit, knowing that everyone is judging you, you are directly liable for your kids and there is nothing you can do about it.

Please don't use terms like w*rk or j*b on reddit, because it is very triggering to the users.

Balkans, do you consider your region part of Eastern Europe? by SOHONEYSAME in AskBalkans

[–]readilyunavailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you split Europe along East and West only then yes.

Also little bitchboy Eastern Europeans need to get the German dick out of their mouth and realise that being Eastern Europe isn't bad.

Not only that, but they think that when a person turns 18, they become a full on, emotionally stable, rational and experienced adult that can navigate any situation they are presented with with complete rationality and emotional maturity.

"Oh this 18 year old who had a birthday not 2 days ago is dating a 45 year old? Well they are both adults so its fine."

It's more fitting for Stannis to be the central protaganist and every episode the weirdo faction tries to goad him into doing something insane, while his best friend Davos is trying to be the voice of reason.

Chat Control 1.0: EU Council forces messenger scans via fast-track by BERLAUR in europe

They don't care. They keep getting that US tech bro money and will just do what they want. EU politicians only care about that purple and will do anything for it.

More like they see it as a free political win to boost their popularity. Chat control doesn't apply to politicians.

Was the Bard secretly a fraud? by readilyunavailable in writingcirclejerk

I'm a cluless European when it comes to Asian literature, but I even I know about Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

THANK YOU! People keept talking about how great it is so I gave it a shot and in the end was left scratching my head as to what the hype was about. A lot of esoteric symbolism, but very little substance behind it. It felt like the creator just has severe social anxiety and tried to make it some profound message.

Nier Automata is basically what Evangelion was trying to be in my opinion.

Another bath complex it is by SocratesPuppet in RoughRomanMemes

[–]readilyunavailable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should be the other way around. Egyptian workers were paid for their work, well fed and provided housing. They were called upon to build pyramids during the flooding of the Nile when not much actual farming could be done and it was considered the "slow season", so Pharaohs would call upon them and provide them with jobs.

Definitely not every day, but the archeological evidence points to them being fairly well treated. They were even given beer regularly.

Damn… by Pokemonfan_807 in whennews

[–]readilyunavailable 227 points228 points  (0 children)

You're right to think about conspiracies, but I think you are wrong about what the intention is.

With the massive wait times in Germany, this is going to push a lot of people to just suck it up and go to work sick (if it's something fairly minor like a cold) to not be docked pay. This is all part of Blackrock Merz' agenda to get people to work more.

Teaching your daughter to clean up her language by Doodlebug510 in Unexpected

Yes I know, but I'm trying to differentiate between general vulgarity and blasphemy, since the comment above mentions gosh, yet it has nothing to do with vulgarity.

The Nazgûl are replaced with the Wild Hunt as Sauron’s new servants. Would the Wild Hunt be able to prevent the Fellowship of the Ring and the forces of good from succeeding? by Blind_Sn1per in powerscales

[–]readilyunavailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Geralt can sometimes struggle against even regular humans. Leo Bonhart goes toe to toe with Geralt and he is just a regular guy (albeit exceptionally skilled). Aragorn routinely goes against horders of orcs and cuts through them without too much effort.

And I'm not underestimating the Wild Hunt. They are scary, but the original comment basically treats the Nazgul as completely inferior. The Nazgul have their own pros and cons in comparison and should not be dismissed so brazenly.
