- Comment on Why don't county jails open up their free bed space in times of severe cold and severe heat to the homeless and others and just give them their own cell? And can leave whenever. 5 days ago:
idk about your county jail but I’m pretty sure ours is either full, privatized in some way, or both.
There’s no way a for-profit prison is giving away real estate for free. Instead they’ll attempt to incentivize sending more people prison so they keep their cells full and are able to achieve that coveted capitalist “growth”.

- Comment on If internet means wires, then how come my mobile phone gets connected to the internet ? I'm roaming everywhere with it inside my pocket. 2 weeks ago:
The internet does not mean “wires” any more than electricity means “wires”. It may use wires in places, but that does not define the concept.
Internet is just an interconnected network of computers. The connections between those computers can be wired with copper, wireless over radio, or they can use light through fiber optic cabling made of glass. The internet is about the concept of getting disparate / discrete machines to communicate, wires are just one of the tools it can use to do that.

- Comment on Is it possible to reverse pit a copcar before they pit you? Like if you know a cop is going to pit you on their right side, can you use your left back end to hit them first? 4 months ago:
lol no you’d be pitting yourself that way.
you could slam on brakes and maneuver to their rear to pit them, but that probably won’t turn out well either.

Just remember that depressing a button is not the same thing as making a button sad sometimes
- Comment on Arc raiders is a horrible game 5 months ago:
I haven’t had an issue with this at all. I’d say over 50% of the time, if I communicate with other players that I don’t intend to kill them, we end up working together.

I can tell you yourbage by asking only 3 simple questions:

- Comment on It's called traditional medicine sweety, look it up 5 months ago:
Well I feel its common knowledge that “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down”, so there’s probably some of that.
Perhaps replace the chloroform with cocaine for a daytime formula.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 5 months ago:
That’s a fair take, I’m just not sure that’s what op means. Perhaps I am wrong. My mind just files gaming videos separately from “reaction videos”, I think because the gamer is actively taking part in the game, rather than reacting to what someone else has already recorded and posted.
If the gamer is just watching someone else play a game and reacting to that, then it would fall into my idea of a reaction video.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 5 months ago:
Idk if watching someone play a game counts as a “reaction” video. In my mind a reaction video is a video that shows someone watching a YouTube video that you probably don’t even get to see unless you go watch that video on your own.

Good chloroform is hard to come by, but otherwise it’d be pretty easy to make your own syrup. The formula is right on the label!
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 5 months ago:
lol that is very specific and I can imagine it’s hard to be qualified for. I’m just out for basic IT. I can sys admin, or work the help desk. I’ve got an A+ and Network+ certificate and a decade of customer service experience on top of a management degree. It just isn’t enough without a least two years of experience it seems.
- Comment on Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills 5 months ago:
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I actually fit all of those criteria, except that I am looking for entry level IT jobs.
I don’t use AI for my resume or cover letter, my last two jobs each lasted 5 years. I was an accountant (not super specialized, though, just basic book keeping) for a bookstore at a major university and did a lot of unofficial tech support for them. Before that I was a bartender and a waiter. I’ve had tons of other jobs, but I figured 10 years of solid employment history was enough.
I’ve also got a bachelor’s degree in management and recent A+ and Network+ certificates. I’m working on various IT related projects in my spare time, etc. Is it really just because I’m seeking entry level positions? I’m even applying to “entry level” stuff but they all want two years of experience somehow. I don’t understand why people aren’t allowed to be new at things, even when they’ve got certifications saying they’re qualified.
It’s getting very frustrating out here lol

yeah, you’re right. I just remembered the 37% thing and felt compelled to share.
37 is also a common number used by “magicians” to when they try to guess the “random number” you’re thinking of because for some reason related to psychology, we think it is “more random” than other numbers between 1 and 100, on average. I don’t have the energy to cite this one right now tho lol
