Thank goodness someone partially censored the word "cunt". I don't think my sensitive little eyeballs could handle seeing such vulgarity.

I'm more focused on the triumphant unibrow that guy has going on

It's what makes him a cunt. Other than the fact that he's Ginger.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ginger is just a descriptor. He's a cunt who happens to be ginger and unloved.

How do we request a ban on censored content? It's getting absurd.

Faux Outrage

Pretending one is offended, insulted or generally affronted by something
which they really are not. The faux outrage is usually expressed publicly
because it is done in the service of an agenda. Those expressing faux outrage
usually labor under the delusion that no one can see through them, but most can.

I never understood the concept of wake up calls. We have had alarm clocks since a long time

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

When I was in my 20:ies, I had my alarm clock at the other side of the room and still managed to oversleep. I ended up having it under my bed close to the wall, so I had to crawl in under my bed (quite narrow space) pressing my body to the cold floor to turn off the alarm... and I never managed to turn that off in my sleep. But I would have preferred a wake up call... so, even though I have never used the service when staying at a hotel, I can see why some people use it.

I get it, I can also barely force myself to get out of the bed. It just feels a bit demeaning to have an employee call you to wake you up. But maybe that's just a personal thing

[–] toynbee 4 points 2 days ago

I used to have an alarm clock app that would require you to solve an arithmetic problem before it would shut off. Obviously, to solve the problem, you had to type in a number; as such, when it went off, it would turn on the display with a numpad visible.

Very frequently, it would go off, but I wouldn't fully wake up and, seeing the numpad, would think I was in the middle of dialing a phone number.

Trying to finish a number I never started rarely worked.

It's like someone playing around with a Mii creator.

Is that a wake up call? It didn't tell him to change something that will lead to a bad end
