Lol, wtf? I’ve thrown around insulation so many times without gloves. No pain in my hands!

I wear ear pro when I use my impact driver, especially in confined spaces. I don’t need to make my tinnitus worse than it already is.

What would an “AI Class” even entail?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's good enough to keep your house warm, it's good enough to keep your insides warm⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
It’s fine. Any detrimental effects are cumulative. Unless you are a serious DIYer or professional, you have nothing to worry about.

They realized that cringe increases engagement via hate-sharing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
“Good people get along and do good things and get credit for it” is not how you make a thrilling drama, lol. I would much rather watch an actor who is a sociopath play a character who is also a sociopath in House of Cards.

Lol. That would be such a boring TV show.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I’d be down to watch a dark comedy about kkk wizards.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Then we’d find another way to identify the top of the social heirarchy and watch shows about them
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Right. Like, first of all, stop watching tv.

Second of all, there is tons of TV about normal people. Like, most of it.

Third, yes, the rich and powerful are overrepresented on tv. Why? Because people like to watch that shit. They know what their own lives are like, and they are boring - people want to watch a show that is interesting. Being rich and/or powerful is an easy way to make a story compelling, and gives writers an obvious way to make up ludicrous plot points.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Make America Greay Again': are MAGA monarchists?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Not explicitly, since MAGA and Trump don’t have any real policy platforms. It’s not principles or ideas - it’s a vibe. Ask 10 Trump voters what Trump stands for and you’ll get 10 different answers.

But certainly, at least some of Trump’s powerful and influential supporters want to move more towards a dictatorial style of government.

Idk… seems like a drug reference, lol. The kid just isn’t cool enough to get it.

THEY’RE TURNING THE BAGELS GAY!

Judged by whom?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is this something only introverts struggle with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Right, but if they keep talking while the other person is trying to talk, that’s rude.

Thanks I hate it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Look up “polarizing” as a dating strategy. You don’t have to attract everyone. Just the people who are into what you’re into.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Not really. I’d say that most fetishes heavily favor one gender or another.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Who said it isn’t working?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
No, but a lot of women are really into giving pleasure to their partners, whatever that might entail (within boundaries). So if a guy is really into feet and shows it, there’s a decent chance his partner will get off on indulging his fetish. Plus, I assume foot fetishists give the best foot massages.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Big shout out for enumerating questions. Makes it clear you need an answer for each one. Makes it easier to follow up if you need more info on a particular question. Makes it easier to pester the person with “hey, I need an answer to 2 by EOD or project deadlines will be significantly impacted” (copied to your PM).

People’s poor reading comprehension is annoying. But the right move is to do everything you can to get the answers you need, creating a polite paper trail as you go. Usually the other person will get you the info you need sooner if you pester them enough, with the implied threat that you are building a case against them if the project is delayed. Because if they don’t answer your questions in a timely fashion when you do everything possible to get the answers you need, it is their fault.
