It didn’t get to trial if I remember right. He definitely wasn’t sentenced.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 1 week ago:
Dry wall is not fucking structural. Jesus. Doesn’t even have the integrity to compress too thick of insulation without pulling through the screws.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve found having a spine is much more beneficial than remaining at a job a person hates and expected some union rep to do the looking out for yourself on your behalf.

Crustaceans aren’t insects, for starters

- Comment on Are you as smart as Ben? 5 weeks ago:
I had to end a relationship with a twin when her sister got pregnant. I was in no situation to support a child then if it could be avoided, and I just knew there was a “accident” coming soon. She managed to get pregnant from some guy less than 2 months later.
- Comment on What's the vaporization temperature of mouse urine? 5 weeks ago:
Well, he’s right, 12v can’t break the resistance of the skin. It’s why cars are mostly 12v, it’s a safety thing. Every now and then you hear about some guy managed to kill himself working on a 24 volt vehicle without taking proper precautions. Anyways the way to torture with a car battery is using it to heat metal up.

The first time or the 9th?
- Comment on acceptable screws 1 month ago:
They are literally two different things, and it’s Robertson, not Robinson. Yes, saying “square” in Canada will get you Robertson, as no one uses Square up north.
- Comment on acceptable screws 1 month ago:
Those aren’t Robertson, they’re Square, it’s different, Robertson has a taper, square doesn’t.
- Comment on I feel old 1 month ago:
I seem to recall when they were translating “grunge” slang and it was also mostly bullshit didn’t actually use.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
Why are 11 year olds allowed to post stupid questions?
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 1 month ago:
You shouldn’t

You literally did, so that wasn’t aimed at you.

Whaaaa life is hard and you have to figure out cash flow.
- Comment on what a catch 1 month ago:
kiiiiinda…but there’s a not insignificant number of women actually won’t either, probably more related to the “6 foot mininum” you see on tinder profiles a lot.
- Comment on Police stopped Brad on his morning walk for wearing a hoodie. Ten minutes later, he was dead 1 month ago:
No, it’s just the usual Aussies in denial about how shit their country has become. All.they have left is pretending they’re superior to assauge some pretty significant cognitive dissonance. (Any Australians reading this, that means when your heads hurt.)
- Comment on Police stopped Brad on his morning walk for wearing a hoodie. Ten minutes later, he was dead 1 month ago:
Oh. What’s it like being fucking retarded?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It’s still a free market, rent doesn’t really seem linked to income at all, but to demand and competition. Same with restaurants, it’s complex, but income of the patrons is the least of the concerns.
- Comment on temperature 2 months ago:
That makes as much sense as shutting on the lights
- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 2 months ago:
Sociopaths are quite often like this, blunt, moral and intelligent. They’re moral out of logic instead of empathy, and I’m not convinced it ain’t better.
- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 2 months ago:
It’s because you make them unsure of themselves. Maybe. If they say they feel gaslit around you, because you make them think, maybe remind them “gaslighting” is more convincing them they’re crazy, not wrong exactly. This can also seem like gaslighting to that type.
