    Why do some Men think all dish washing should be done by their GF or wife? Their help is really appreciated

    跳过

  • Why do women have smaller feet? So that they can stand closer to the kitchen sink.

    But seriously: whoever is free, does the dishes. And we have the microwave rule: when the microwave is running, don't stand around waiting, do something useful. Obviously, this is applicable not only to the microwave. So, cleaning the kitchen is an ongoing process, but thanks to that we never get to a stage where doing the dishes or cleaning the counter feels like a chore.

  • Do you buy real Christmas trees or put up artificial ones?

    跳过

  • Artificial. Cost me an arm and a leg when I got it, but I've had it for so long it averages less than half the price of a real tree pre year. Plus, I don't have to bother with finding a good tree, transporting it home, and then driving to dump it at the recycling centre.

  • Flip the switch, and the virtual simulation we're in shuts down.

  • Can anyone confirm? Am British so idk

    跳过

  • Haha, no. I was tempted to visit Paddy's Lunch, but being in Boston I opted for clam chowder, a good burger (where you actually get to specify how you want it made), and some Italian. I was mildly amused when I walked by a pub that advertised a band called The Gobshites. Certainly won't help to dispell Irish stereotypes.

  • Dublin metro was first planned in the 1980s. A definitive plan was finalized last year, and the construction was supposed to start next year, bur at the last possible moment a group of residents near one of the planned terminuses blocked it in court because the construction would "cause them undue stress". So, if we're lucky, the metro construction will begin within 50 years of the original plan. Ireland is thus remaining one of the very few European countries with sizable population, without a metro. Despite running such huge budget surpluses that we sometimes refuse to collect taxes from the multinationals.

    In Boston, I stayed close to Alewife. The red line was decent to get me to the city centre, and I had two good bus connections to Lexington where I also had some business to attend to.

  • Just came back from a long weekend in Boston, and I loved it. It reminded me very much of Dublin where I live:

    • Expensive as hell.
    • Weather forecast is never right.
    • You can understand the locals only when they are drunk.

    But the food was great, and the T was lightyears ahead of the Dublin metro system.

  • What's your favorite recreational drug and why?

    跳过

  • Endorphins. Just yesterday I did 1 km @ VO2 Max running repeats, and about 800m in I started feeling real good. Even my heart rate was slowing. I ended up overshooting the distance a little, and doing an extra interval; it felt so good.

  • Video games with good cave and dungeon ambience music? (Other than TES)

    跳过

  • Older ones, but Might & Magic 6 through 8 had amazing soundtracks. Especially the sixth one. I sometimes listen to them as a background music when working.

  • Adding stickers to my fruit so it's harder to recycle

    跳过

  • That's what I'm doing. Of course, it's easier with an apple when I clean it anyway, rather than a banana where all I have is hands and teeth.

  • My rubbish company told me not to throw them into the compost bin; that it's better to put your peel onto regular rubbish if you can't get them off.

  • As you age your fantasies change

  • Funny enough, in some countries the Christmas presents are delivered by baby Jesus, and not Santa Claus.

  • What fictional character do you wish was real?

  • Cthulhu. There is only one way to properly cleanse this world.

  • Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor's race, capping a stunning ascent

    跳过

  • This rule is legacy from Reddit, where r/news got dominated by US-centric news. r/worldnews was created to allow non-US news to be seen.

    That said, I agree that this is a world news event. If nothing else, this may distract the Trump administration from international bullying for a while. Perhaps even redirect the Venezuelan invasion force to the NYC harbour...

  • If you are a dissident and your government is threatening you and your family/friends and demands a public apology and to publicly recant/renounce your beliefs, would you do it? Why or Why Not?

    跳过

  • In 2013, I posted on Facebook, urging my Czech friends not to vote for the eventual winner of their Presidential election, Milos Zeman. I called him and inept drunkard, and compared to him to the then Slovak President, Ivan Gasparovic. The next day, the Slovak police paid a visit to my parents (I've been living abroad by then), and offered not to create problems for them if I deleted the post, because Mr. Gasparovic was offended by being compared to Mr. Zeman. As soon as my parents called me, I dropped everything and deleted the post.

    This was in a presumably democratic member of the European Union, and I didn't even think twice. I'd probably self-censor if I lived in a dictatorship. Sorry; I'm no hero type. I do have my opinions and express them when able, and don't when it would cause problems for me or my family. I think I'm just an average person.

  • hmm breakfast

    跳过

  • This is also the reason why Metamucil doesn't sell in Europe. Seriously: just looking at the left picture gives me constipation.

    (I understand that the pic is a joke, but anyone who has a coffee and a fag after breakfast can attest to their wonderful laxative powers.)

  • Slovakia adopts speed limit for pedestrians

    跳过

  • That's a bad interpretation of the law. The law defines a max walking speed as 6 km/h. That's a definition, not a speed limit. It will be used to clarify existing laws that already prescribe the movement of bicycles or scoters "at walking speed" on footpaths. Slovakia isn't the first country to do that, either.

  • What the most memorable moment from any video game?

    跳过

  • The ending of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. It pisses me off to this day.

  • Socialist critic of NATO and EU poised to win Ireland’s presidency

    跳过

  • One thing to recognise here is that neither governmental party was able to field a viable candidate against her. FF, the major government partner, had their candidate quit the race after the first debate. FG, the junior partner, nominated a candidate who clearly didn't want to run, due to all the skeletons in her closet the media are now dragging out.

    To be fair, however, the government always faces an uphill battle. Our President, despite being largery powerless, had been viewed in the past two decades or so as the moral counterweight to the immoral government. Nominating a former government minister was thus a very tone-deaf decision.
