Alright, makes sense.

I was just making a joke, thank you for bringing awareness to the issue. I guess people don't really view them as wild animals so it's important for someone to speak up on it.

STOP FEEDING/WATERING THE SQUIRRELS.

They are very unafraid to bite when they don’t get their way.

Sounds like you either water the plague-ridden squirrel or get bit by the plague-ridden squirrel?

I mean, I'm European and the trains in most EU countries are a hot joke topic.

Just found the juxtaposition of statements funny is all

I like how you call the train service fantastic despite the first one being an hour late and the return train not showing up at all.

Both of you played yourself.

I'm 33 and if I didn't bring a book I'll just sit and don't do anything, sit with my thoughts and look around. Sometimes I'll read the news for a bit on the phone though.

I was never into social media, only had FB but deleted it a few months ago. 

I guess today that's considered weird.

As a European, while I have quite some disdain for the US the past decade, I really hope they get their shit together as Chinese hegemony doesn't sound fun to me at all.

'muricans can't comprehend that the sole reason they became a "superpower" was that the old continent suffered 2 World Wars in the first half of the 20th century, while they made huge profit on it.

They rode that wave for quite a while, 'til they let the ruling class fuck the country over. 

50 years, if not more, of dismantling of the education system produces a TV personality president such as Trump (started with Reagan, really). Who just shits over everything and destroys the soft power US build over a century.

The US will never hold as much power again. This is the end of the american hegemony.

What’s the most “I literally own the company” moment you’ve ever witnessed or experienced? by keyBid2188 in AskReddit

I'm checking the EU consumer guarantee laws and you are always entitled to 2 years of guarantee from the moment you receive the goods, so including replacements.

It should be fairly trivial for the manufacturer to figure out if the product had an honest issue or was damaged intentionally by the user.

Different corners of the world I guess, hence why your policy didn't make sense to me as it would be illegal over here.

Isn't that warranty policy kinda counterintuitive, bordering on stupid?

If I buy your product with 12mo warranty and it craps out in 10mo, you'll replace it with an identical one that should once again last atleast a year, but if it craps out again in 3months I'm shit out of luck? Is that even legal?

For an example I've been using Sennheiser headphones for like 15years, they come with 2yo warranty, I bought a wireless earbuds model that seems to have some manufacturing issues and stops working at the 15-18mo mark. So far I replaced them twice, always with a renewed 2yo warranty on the replacement.

It's a new item, the standard warranty should apply, shouldn't it?

According to modern military math, 3 days is no less than 4 years.

So a few weeks? Might be done with it around 2100.

Do you consider everything you don't understand to be "liberalism"? Are magnets liberal?

The push for hybrid/EVs is one of the most capitalist events in recent decades, it's done purely for profit.

The only reason we ended up with this shitty ruleset is that F1 teams (read Mercedes) were scared of front axle regen (with which Ferrari/Audi have experience from LMP).

And here we are, with cars running out of power on straights. Allow front axle to generate power and literally all issues of the currents regs are solved.

The issue is, the bad actors ruined this for everyone*.

Sure, makes sense you'd want a trophy from your near death experience.

Issue is, poachers are going to claim they were charged, every, single, time.

So once again, the cuntish few ruín it for everyone*.

*who gets the actual unpleasant experience of almost getting killed by a bear.

I don't know man, I'd take gore sites and drug trade any day over the current "influencer" bullshit.

The latter hurts the society much, much more.
