- Comment on When a employee training video goes insane 11 months ago:
what the actual fuck was that? just adopt the order wheel (which existed before waffle house was created), or get a pos/ticketing system already.
- Comment on If civilization continues to the year 9999, is the idea to go to year 10.000, or...? 11 months ago:
obviously start counting backwards to zero

- Comment on I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal? 11 months ago:
normal… but you can practice drinking and get better at it. a couple years ago after I’d stopped drinking I tried to pick it up again and noticed that I couldnt handle my liquor at all. but through practice and perseverance I was eventually able to enjoy various rums and whiskeys without passing out after 5 or 6 ounces. eventually got tired of it again so now I just enjoy a beer every few weeks.
- Comment on why is the world suddebly focused on the irsali-palestine conflict and hamas group? 11 months ago:
the media requires people to pay attention to it or they cant sell ad placement. bad news sells better than good news does.
the war in Ukraine is basically at a standstill, no one is going to watch it. media needs a new focus and Israel vs Iranian funded hamas terrorists is the next big thing. in a few months it’ll be something else - it’s just the focus of the “now”.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
there’s “feel good” communities out there, but they’re not very active. the active communities are very toxic because they’re arguing about ideologies - tankies, *.ml communists, hamas apologists, and etc vs normal non-insane people. the arguing is why the communities are active.
if you unsubscribe to the active communities you’ll see a lot less negativity - but your feed will be basically static & boring.

eh, if cooking at home is too much work then I guess they need to eat out. hopefully not at McD’s. i’ve never found cooking to be particularly difficult, and it’s a lot easier these days since I can reference a recipe on my phone if I need to (though generally I just look up ingredient ratios).
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
it’s honestly cheaper to DIY from home. then you have absolute control over ingredients, portion sizes, etc. I made a tasty double gorgonzola burger earlier in the week w/ home made pretzel buns and it cost all of $4 for a 1/2 lb burger with exactly what I wanted.
- Comment on Primitive Technology: Volute Shaped Blower 11 months ago:
i wonder if it’d be easier to use with some sort of gear assembly and then a foot pedal or something - that one handed rotational method looks really tiring
- Comment on Could feral chicken take over the Amazon ? 11 months ago:
didnt the ancestors of the chicken evolve in the rain forests of/near China? I’m sure there’s latent genes that could express themselves within a few generations - much how domesticated pigs can turn to wild hogs in just a few generations
- Comment on [US] Looking for some ideas for passive income / freelance work 11 months ago:
market yourself as a computer hardware/software repair guy at all of the nursing homes/retirement communities in the area. market it towards your target demographic, using font styles and language that they’d be familiar with in the 1960s - 1980s. be sure to show up clean shaven with a tie. be polite - yes mam/yes sir. charge through the nose.
I bet you could build up a significant dental fund within 6 to 8 months.
- Comment on Flower Timelapse that Took 4 months and 9624 Pictures to make this Spectacular Footage (by Thomas Blanchard) 11 months ago:
that was really nice time lapse photography!
- Comment on We have had guns for 200 years but mass shootings only became common in the last 30. So what changed? 11 months ago:
yes, but we closed all insane asylums/mental wards too. some hospitals have a few beds dedicated for that but it’s not the massive infrastructure of the past.
- Comment on We have had guns for 200 years but mass shootings only became common in the last 30. So what changed? 11 months ago:
America’s greatest export is war. we’re a very violent nation. every generation since the founding has had a major conflict to attend - but most of our wars in the last 30 years or so havent involved a lot of “boots on the ground”. that pent up rage requires an outlet. mass killings/shootings/etc are a direct result.
adding to that, handguns are very easy to obtain - you can legally purchase them easily enough but there’s also a very active black market where cash is king and questions are not asked, backgrounds are not checked. since Americans are legally permitted to own/carry firearms (as enshrined in our founding governmental documents), the system cannot change. it’s not politically acceptable to request a change. no career politician is going to burn their entire life’s work in something that is destined to fail. even considering is is borderline insane.
dont expect things to magically get better.
- Comment on How do poor people in the states give birth without money? 1 year ago:
dunno, my sister hired a midwife to handle the birth. i heard it was cheaper than a hospital visit but I have no idea of the actual cost.
