You might have a pilot you trust, but he’s still drunk
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 2 days ago:
It’s such a hard question to answer because it varies by person, by dose, by context, etc.
It’s not like you are there at the time feeling “oh I’m only 80% in control of myself here” there’s no little sober pilot inside your flesh-mech running things, the person trying to determine how in control they are is impaired by alcohol.

- Comment on How come Rugby never caught on in the states? I played in college and it's basically like football without pads. Isn't it? 1 week ago:
I mean love is just tennis for zero.
You have a tie because the point was to play 90 minutes of football and see who was best. If the teams were evenly matched then so be it.
What’s the point of playing 90 minutes of football and then having a shootout. It doesn’t prove who’s better at football it proves who’s better at shootouts.

It depends what you mean by basically. At a very basic level they are both sports where players try to carry a large ball over a line, and the other team tries to tackle them. Beyond that the similarities quickly end.
Rugby is played continuously, play doesn’t stop for tackles and the team on the pitch remains there for the entire game (barring a few 1 time substitutions). Rugby players are expected to transition from offence to defence and back as the game ebbs and flows, and be fit enough to remain caught up with the play most of the game.
The emphasis in rugby is on retaining possession of the ball through subsequent plays and tackles (phases) until such time as you can exploit an opponent’s defence to score.
The emphasis of football is to get the ball 10 yards in 4 plays. And the way the game is structured all the players are expected to be far more specialized into niche roles, and coordinating a lot of specialized skills into short, highly intense bursts of effort. Nobody in football is expected to operate for more than about 5-10 seconds at a time.
As for why one caught on and the other didn’t. It probably doesn’t actually have a huge amount to do with the rulebook of either game, or the similarities or differences therein, beyond the fact that there’s probably only a niche for one major big-guy-tackle-people-move-ball type sport in any given place and time

- Comment on How do you distance yourself from your country when it doesn't represent your views anymore so you won't be viewed by the rest of the world as part of the problem? 3 weeks ago:
Listen, American, start by acting like this isn’t the first time you’ve acknowledged the rest of the world exists.
Step 2 is that your first step shouldn’t be going looking to the people being victimized by your countries stupidity for sympathy before you’ve done LITERALLY ANYTHING to address these issues.
Step 3 is realizing America isn’t special, and going back to being an anonymous American online not looking for us to make you feel better about your government.
- Comment on Is natural deep red hair in adults rarer then orange/coppery shades? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with hair that could be described as both natural AND scarlet or cherry. Natural red hair does have an orangey hue to it.
I’m not speaking as a red hair owner though. Just a lifelong fan.

- Comment on Keir Starmer rejects US State Department comments on UK 'two-tier' policing 5 weeks ago:
Why does anyone do anything other than ignore the USA when they say things like this while simultaneously threatening to invade allies, commit genocide alongside Israel, and letting fascist thugs walk the streets spitting on constitutional protections.
It’s nakedly self serving propaganda nonsense and amplifying this message uncritically is supporting the USA

You can add throughput by zipper merging predictably all day long instead of every car jockeying for position and feeling entitled to block other road users from legally merging and causing all kinds of road rage based holdups though
- Comment on That's a no 5 weeks ago:
Yeah you dumbass. So use both lanes and then zipper merge where they merge

Because that’s the correct procedure
