Growing up I had a friend whose mom was a little too crunchy and she ended up getting rid of their microwave because she thought the microwaves gave the food cancer and when you ate it you would get the cancer from your food
- Comment on Can the Internet be an ethnicity? 1 week ago:
Asian or white are not ethnicities
Not according to any real Census Bureau
- Comment on Can the Internet be an ethnicity? 1 week ago:
Ethnicity is absolutely not culture.
For example, a buddy of mine is Asian but he was adopted by a white family at birth so he is culturally No different than any other [white] guy from the Midwest.
Or, alternatively, there’s nothing stopping me from experiencing, learning about, and practicing cultural practices from another area of the world even though I am ethnically “just” white.

Outcomes are rarely determined by your own thoughts about the situation.
It’s like being anxious about driving because you’re worried someone is going to hit you. As long as you’re being safe and careful, being an anxious mess isn’t going to make you any safer and it can even make things worse.
Of course I’m not trying to say “just stop being anxious!” but you have to understand that only ever thinking about the worst case scenario will hinder far more progress than it will help.

Nobody blames the patient for getting lung cancer, they blame the patient for smoking for years knowing the risks.
Same thing with obesity related heart issues. You aren’t being blamed for the heart issues, you are being blamed for eating yourself into obesity.

This. 200 calories is not very much food. That’s like 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, a little over 1 banana, a little less than 3 eggs, about 30 individual almonds, or little over half an avocado.
A single Hershey’s chocolate bar, mountain dew, or the smallest size of my favorite star bucks drinks are all over 200 calories too.

if the bank loses power, they’re there for a backup
I feel like you aren’t actually reading my comments?

They are there as a backup, for if the bank loses power or Internet. Normally they just use the computer system.

Werd the banks in my state are still required to have bank books specifically for this reason.

how will we get gas without working gas pumps
Gas stations are required to have generators where I am for this exact scenario.
How will stores open their electronic doors
These are legally required to be openable by hand without power in the United States.
How will stores process payment
Hence the reason why cash still exists.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 3 weeks ago:
I’m curious on how you reconcile the “towns not much larger than 700 people” and the advanced automation you have in your world.
Drones, computers, or any of the 15 layers you need to support any “network” need significantly more people than groups of 700 to manufacture.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 3 weeks ago:
That’s just how the game is. It’s incredibly simplified. Every issue has a decision for you to make and that decision only impacts 2-4 things. Usually 1-2 positives, and 1-2 negatives.
It’s a really fun little game but it shouldn’t be used as a replacement for actual policy.

- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 4 weeks ago:
Okay so I originally assumed this was probably due to some union rule or something like that. But I didn’t find any reference to it in the NALC guidelines, anything in the USPS resources center (which is hard to use), anything in google searches, and the original employee documentation or spec.
I did find the USPS History section and it turns out they have someone whose job title is “Postal Historian”, Stephen Kochersperger.
But, anyways, I found the address (not email of course haha) for the USPS history office so I have wrote up an letter and put it in the mailbox. I will eventually update yall

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 4 weeks ago:
Haha I’m actually from an IT background! I started doing it because I was tired of paying like $1000/month for 7361618 little programs.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 4 weeks ago:
There is a difference between “I’m frustrated with work so I will be short with people” and “I am going to systematically create a rumor that one of the IT guys is actually bi” or “10 of us are going to gang up on a new nurse and bully her until she leaves crying”.
Those are some of the worst examples but little petty stuff happened all the time. But it was even little things like every time a nurse would walk away the other nurses would talk about how they’re putting on weight or being a bad mom or some other nonsense.
I don’t know, like I said this is anecdotal stories. But I’ve worked a lot of places in a lot of industries and nurses aren’t the only ones who are overworked, underpaid, and burnt out. But they are overwhelmingly the ones who act the meanest.

making the most randomized bespoke solutions to every little business niche
Hey that’s my cubicle job! Last week I made a program because one of the locations at my company wanted to be able to view tolls (were a trucking company) for their drivers only. So I threw that together.
This week I’m making a program which will replace a spreadsheet to track tablets (drivers get one for electronic logs). It won’t do anything crazy but it will be color coded! (Color coding was the single most important feature they requested)
But today I didn’t work on that because they wanted a little tool to convert various file types into TIFF files because they work the best with our management software.
So yeah, lots of random little automations and tools for like 1 or 2 people to do their niche little responsibilities.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 4 weeks ago:
Being burned out doesn’t mean being catty, intentionally spreading false rumors, forming impenetrable cliques, and just being rude and talking behind each others backs.
I get it, nurses are over worked and under paid. But so are a ton of other professions and they dont have this same problem.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 4 weeks ago:
Honestly a reasonable reaction from Bubblegum. Why go to a Globetrotters game and then complain about them doing Globetrotters stuff?
Would you watch a documentary and then complain about a silky British voiceover? Or a soap opera and complain about the hazy look of it? Or a musical when you can see the actor scurrying away after “dying” (hint, they don’t actually die)
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 4 weeks ago:
For my anecdotal story, I’ve never been treated worse than when I was doing IT for a hospital and working around nurses. God it felt like I was in a mean girls movie or some campy coming of age story about bullying.

- Comment on Based tesla user??? 4 weeks ago:
Its honestly blown my mind that it’s taken this long to get something that’s even somewhat competitive with the Tesla’s.
Like a Model 3 is $35k, has a near perfect safety score, can go like ~360 miles on a charge, and is a 4 door sedan.
Let’s look at some competitors why don’t we?
- BMW i3 has a 4 star rating, gets like ~300 miles range, and costs $60k
- Honda Prologue does have a 5 star rating, but it only gets ~300 miles range, and is a SUV, it also starts at $50k
- BYD HAN (the only one i could see on their website in the states) only gets “300+ miles” on a charge, but it supposedly only costs around $30k. I also couldn’t find any safety information that didn’t come from the Chinese government so I wont comment on that.
Obviously Musk is a bad guy and you shouldn’t give him money and all that. But it seems like the legacy manufacturers are like 3-4 years behind, and that’s the smallest the gap has ever been.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 4 weeks ago:
a lot of users want those kinds of features
I had to re-enable them on computers at my company. I changed a policy to get rid of it and by the end of the day I had a dozen or so emails (~10% of the company) asking for them back.
YMMV of course and I don’t personally like them. But a lot of people actually do. I think a lot of the people in communities like this forget how much of a power user they really are, and what actual users really want.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 4 weeks ago:
Unless that windows 7 computer is entirely air-gapped from your network, you should switch it to Linux or Windows 10 (which is going out of support in October).
Even if you have it on a separate VLAN or have it restricted from accessing the internet, there are attacks that can use another device on the network as a starting point for attacks.
Having a Windows 7 computer anywhere near your network is an enormous security risk. And one that is frankly not worth it, given the alternatives that exist.
