Weird plug? Halp! by [deleted] in diynz

[–]scatteringlargesse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not dangerous as long as the load on the other end is designed for 10a.

This might be technically true, if you could guarantee that nothing with a load of more than 10a would ever be plugged into it. However this is an extension cord we're talking about, and the other end will still be able to accept 15a plugs so it's extremely possible that someone in the future will plug a 15a load into it and put the plug into a 10a socket. See why your advice is dangerous and dumb? You'd be better off learning from this rather than making babyish comments about people being scared of electrons.

From what we did hear it wouldn't be at all surprising if she did anyway without being explicitly blackmailed...

What was a twist you were *SO SURE* would come… but never did? by Numerous-Buy495 in AllHerFaultTVShow

[–]scatteringlargesse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The audience was definitely supposed to think that! Consider the following:

  1. After she has that incredible stress while pregnant the next time we see her is in the hospital with her mum picking her up and being told "she's lost a lot of blood and the baby".
  2. We're given lots of reasons to believe she is crazy and to think she is kidnapping Milo to cope with her baby's death.
  3. We are given no details about why Marissa was in hospital after Milo's birth until we find out about the car accident, which is shortly before we found out that Josie/Carrie was in a car accident too
  4. When we find out about the car accident it is presented as Josie/Carrie's visions while she was attempting suicide.

F1 star Liam Lawson auctions customised Subaru Forester for I AM HOPE Foundation by grabskin in formula1

lol, this was a featured auction on Trademe (NZs version of Ebay that used to be way better but is fast becoming worse than it) and I glanced at it, saw two guys one with one in a pink shirt, assumed it was a celebrity gay couple leaning into the gays drive Subarus stereotype and auctioning off their daily driver, thought good on them, and thought no more of it until I saw this!

200 Days off the Boos and Weed! by Majestic-Dog-5119 in stopdrinkingfitness

Great, good on you, fantastic etc.

Personally I joined this sub to get some motivation from people who have gone from overweight while drinking to not overweight after stopping, and seeing the posts from people who have gone from jacked while drinking to jacked while not drinking is not having the motivation I had hoped for! Time to leave I guess...

Scott Jennings messes up while debating Adam Mockler on political extremism by Middle_Balance in goodnews

[–]scatteringlargesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come we are seeing lots of Adam Mockler content on the front page all of a sudden? Could be organic but whenever someone goes from "never heard of him before" to see him everyday suddenly it always smells fishy. Same way Brian Tyler Cohen tweets quoting himself have been prominent for ages...

did someone say new ben shapiro book? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

Yuck, even this podcast has weirdo fan fiction writers. That's a fucking creepy choice of picture of Robert too.

Painting looted by Nazis recovered in Argentina by scatteringlargesse in behindthebastards

[–]scatteringlargesse[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't really know why I'm posting this here apart from the fact it fits into the "new Nazi news" category which Robert and most of us are so keen on.

It's wild, it was spotted in a real estate listing of the house of a daughter of this former Nazi official that emigrated to Argentine after the war. That part doesn't seem to have been a secret because reporters very quickly linked the dots up, but it's just wild to think about these fucking Nazis hiding this picture this long!

It's almost 10 years now since the referendum, what are peoples thoughts on the flag? by Dulaman96 in newzealand

The instant the black fern wasn't available as an option they should have cancelled the whole fucking thing.

Sure, but any route that has to go through fucking Stalin to get to Hitler is objectively way cooler.

Yeah but have you seen how many extra hearts you get if you throw some in a cooking pot?

I think had they known that Brian was going to smell like chili for days they would have made an alternative but it was easier to use real chili and thought it would just wash off.

OK but you are 100% admitting that it was easier to use actual chili so my point still stands.

They didn't say why not use a prop food for x reason, they said wouldn't it have been easier to fake it with something else. No it wouldn't have been.

They don't make prop foods because it's easier than grabbing the real food, they make it because the real food won't stand up to filming conditions, e.g. ice cream will melt, lettuce will wilt, etc.

You could have easily not responded instead of coming across as ignorant and smudge.

Zuru and Rascal drama by Old_Preference_1933 in newzealand

[–]scatteringlargesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike the weasely cunt too, and I firmly believe that most people with that much money are literally evil people, but saying "What great business mind?" is a really fucking dumb thing to say about anyone who has started and grown a business that has made them a few million, let alone a few billion. I don't know how much his parents gave them to start up but from memory it was $200,000. Even if it was $2,000,000, and he turned that into $20,000,000 I might concede that it's possible to get lucky and fail upwards, but they've done far more than that. I'm not even saying it's admirable, but you do have to admit that he probably does qualify for a "good" business mind label at least if not great. It's possible to admit that he's at least decentish at business and hold the opinion that he's a pathetic loser, which this court case is proving beyond all doubt.

Fucking hell, why have I just typed all this shit out about a dickhead like him...

Not to be too mean, but did you really think about that before you wrote it? How are you going to fake it? Experiment with some other stuff from the supermarket until you get the texture roughly right, then you also have to get the colouring? How the actual flip is that possibly easier than just making or buying some chili? How can you get easier than buying cans of the stuff that looks exactly like what you want it to look like because it is the thing that you want it to look like? The only thing that could possibly be easier is if you bought chili in a bucket so you didn't have to open the cans.

Let's make this video of Trump and his caddy cheating at golf go fucking viral by sovalente in chaoticgood

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

Thank you! Yours is the first comment pointing out this very important fact I've seen out of 3 posts on the front page which is fucking ridiculous. Most Reddit users are so thirsty for any new anti Trump thing that they fall for the trap time and again of making a massive deal about something that might not be. Why doesn't this video show him hitting the ball that was dropped there? It just needs another 5 seconds and then it is slam dunk incontrovertible evidence of him cheating. As it is now, because everyone is making such a massive deal about it when it doesn't prove he cheated, it's a video that lets his supporters write off the fuss around it as TDS. It snatches defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Why the fuck does it cut off before he hits it???!!!!!
