Prison guards make $55/hr, and I still wouldn’t give up my $21/hr job to work in a Vitamin D-deprived hellhole full of people who hate you for merely existing.
Triple the pay, and maybe I’d consider it. Prison sucks.
- Comment on Anon tries dating apps 4 days ago:
The woman I am going to marry is the kind of person that would never use a dating app. Literally the same week I gave up on online dating, she asked me out at work.
Never had success trying to meet girls on the internet. Sometimes you just have to get lucky and hopefully there’s someone attractive who is interested in you wherever you work/study/hang out.

Don’t worry I’m just being cheeky. I inserted that bit to keep the comment lighthearted.
- Comment on Carenheit 6 days ago:
IMO any date standard other than ISO 8601 is wrong too. Year-Month-Date makes the most sense from a chronological standpoint. Also makes sorting files by date easier.

Well like I said to the other person, it’s not a “I think the US is superior” thing; very much the opposite. I simply have autism. (ADHD too but that’s not relevant here.)
- Comment on Carenheit 6 days ago:
I can’t help that I was born here. FWIW I’m not a blind patriot, I just have autism.
- Comment on Carenheit 6 days ago:
Yeah I know, it drives me crazy.
It’s also annoying when Europeans swap the comma and decimal on currency amounts too, especially given that you don’t do that when writing sentences. Drives me crazy seeing an amount written out like 2.999,95€! Where are your manners!?
- Comment on I may be wrong here. Isn't AI only as smart as the user putting in the information or commands? What's the big deal? 6 days ago:
That’s the problem.
Stupid people will just take the answer it spits out at face value, rather than calling it out on its lies. And even that can be a problem in of itself, because if you pressure it enough, it will eventually tell you want what you want to hear, no matter how wrong you are.
- Comment on Carenheit 6 days ago:
Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.

You do realize that we’re not ignorant to the metric system, right? Anyone with even the slightest interest in science and/or computing knows what celsius is.
- Comment on How can people with ADHD possibly enjoy movies if they daydream and can't focus on the movie? 6 days ago:
Well that’s exactly why I don’t watch a lot of movies. If it isn’t the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen, then I’m not going to be able to pay attention to it no matter how hard I try.
Unfortunately that applies to EVERYTHING in an ADHD person’s life. Chores are boring, which is why we’re messy. Our brains treat boring tasks as a sentence worse than prison time. Really makes it difficult to hold down a job, and can lead to ADHD people using various drugs to artificially give themselves the dopamine they need to be functional adults. Neurotypical brains have plenty of it, which is why they’re able to get shit down without any sort of chemical influence. Dopamine is the motivator, and the ADHD brain is constantly starved of it.
- Comment on How can people with ADHD possibly enjoy movies if they daydream and can't focus on the movie? 6 days ago:
Here’s the neat thing: I don’t. I have to watch movies with the girlfriend next to me to explain things. And I often re-watch things too to catch the things I missed the first or second time around.
On the bright side, if I’m rewatching something I haven’t seen in a long time, it’s completely new to me again.
- Comment on Anon can't escape 6 days ago:
Did you know that if you smoke weed every day, you will stop dreaming entirely? It messes with REM sleep, but it’s the only way I can get any sleep at all; legalization was a quite a few years ago now where I live so I haven’t had a dream in years.
Just something to consider if you have easy access to cannabis.

Guess OP never saw Inception. The time dilation is real.
- Comment on this absolute bullshit from reddit 1 week ago:
Well they could have worded “accounts are required to access old reddit” a lot better.
- Comment on this absolute bullshit from reddit 1 week ago:
I’m actually okay with this if it means more people get to check out old reddit. That said, I’m a bit confused: why is reddit now requiring all accounts to log into old reddit? I thought they wanted everyone using the new site? Did they have a change of heart?
Furthermore, why are you looking at new reddit to begin with? I go directly to the old.reddit URL so I never see messages like this (they only pop up if you’re on new reddit). If it was unintentional, you can use Old Reddit Redirect to solve that problem.

What’s it about? Tattoos?
- Comment on My pizza doesn't list the temperature it should be cooked at 3 weeks ago:
Weed references aside, pizzerias cook their pizzas at anywhere from 500-1000°F depending on the place and type of pie, so given that most home ovens max out at about 500-550, don’t be afraid to crank it to the max (just don’t forget to reduce the cooking time to compensate). The texture of the crust ends up being more like a pizza place’s crust when you use more heat.
- Comment on Why is so difficult to organize a strike 3 weeks ago:
Because modern young adults don’t even know how to socialize with each other these days, let alone organize.
Allow me to present Exhibit A:

“Resident Alien Series”? Is that like a spinoff/knockoff of Third Rock from the Sun?
- Comment on My pizza doesn't list the temperature it should be cooked at 4 weeks ago:
It’s pizza. The hotter the oven, the better.

Possibly lol

Seriously this. Fuck Meta and shame on OP. There are much less evil VoIP apps available.

VK? The Russian porn site?

And as a fellow seafood lover, I want some of what you’re smoking.
I mean what the hell is going on in the top and bottom right quadrants? What’s with that bright orange noodle slop? And I can’t even begin to describe what the other thing is supposed to be. Also, no cocktail sauce? No butter?

What the hell kind of address is “N 25 E”? It can’t be both North and East. You have to pick one.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 month ago:
Yes and they raise the threshold. Can’t take them because I get one day of functional bliss and then a week of misery after. Adderall is the worst drug I’ve ever tried for ADHD. The non-stimulants are no better because they do nothing at all.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 month ago:
I want all of that except no magic or potions. The whole magic/wizardry aspect of Skyrim is why I prefer Fallout.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 month ago:
Tell me how to lower my dopamine threshold! As someone with ADHD I am absolutely addicted to dopamine and don’t know how to quit. I try to dedicate one day a week to allow myself to be bored but it is beyond difficult to maintain any sort of habit when you have ADHD.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 month ago:
Not a fan Cyberpunk. There’s literally nothing to do in that game outside of a mission. I want a game with heavy mod support where I can just wander around and bump into things to do. Cyberpunk is the exact opposite of that. It’s basically a linear game disguised as an open world title.
I’ve tried a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game (don’t remember which) but I was bored within 15 minutes. I will have to give the series a second chance.
