- Comment on What is in for the antivax in a government? 3 days ago:
But they get validation. It’s not just that they think their ideas and information is correct. They are correct and doctors and entire industries are wrong or corrupt. That makes them smarter than those eggheads that went to school for sometimes a decade and have spent further decades with their face in a microscope. After decades of education and dedicated research somehow Cletus from BFE, Dumbfuckistan and Google was able to best them intellectually.
- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 1 week ago:
This might sound weird but I have a Coldplay fetish. That can’t go wrong right?
- Comment on how good are you at lying during job interviews? 3 weeks ago:
Was being interviewed by a few people at a company. I asked about hours, and they essentially said, “Being a salaried position, it would be the standard 40 hours, but we like to usually work 45-50 a week.” I think they might have heard my brain mentally slamming the door on them so fucking hard cause there were some of those awkward looks.

Well that’s just dangerous! How will I tell them apart from a piñata?

Which begs the question, what happens to the estranged particle that escapes the black hole from hawking radiation.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 5 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t the hawking radiation need to be a higher rate than the black hole is absorbing matter?

Sounds similar to being told, “At least you’re pretty,” after saying something stupid.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 5 weeks ago:
Is the recommendation really quarterly? I’ve usually done twice a year but might have to step out up.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 5 weeks ago:
And it can fairly easily carry on the air. So if air flow can get there, so can dust.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
A lot of people in here saying don’t do it because you might change your mind. They never seem to apply that logic the other direction. There’s lots of parents out there that had kids and only then realized they didn’t want the whole deal. And worse for them, society has driven a nauseating culture of parental worship and idolatry. It makes it impossible to come to grips with that realization. Parents are supposed to unconditionally love and champion their child and constantly profess how thankful they are and how gratifying the whole endeavor is. And that’s just with a “normal” child. If you have a kid with a disability or some kind of handicap that makes parenting exponentially harder you still need to profess your thankfulness! You aren’t allowed to not want to be a parent then. That ship has sailed. Anything less than abject subjugation to the identity of being a parent is condemned.

Fucking hell. I didn’t even know that.
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 2 months ago:
No no. Abrego Garcia clearly had “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. That was no photoshop.

Pro-tip. Blame it on the dems. His base would eat that shit up. Doesn’t matter that it makes no sense.

That’s because that’s how you see the world. It’s hard for you to comprehend someone else not thinking the same way you do.

- Comment on Odds of rolling a 7 with a weighted die 2 months ago:
That’s if it’s perfectly weighted. If it’s weighted to roll a 6, it might not always land on 6. This would lower the chance of rolling a 7 depending on what the overall probability profile is on the weighted die.
- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 3 months ago:
But I’m a hooker
- Comment on Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving? 3 months ago:
I, too, am in a mixed attractiveness relationship. Though I’m on the opposite side as you. All I can say is if my wife was receiving those comments, she did not show it. After all these years I think her family and friends accept me.
But in all seriousness, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you are happy, then that’s all that matters.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 months ago:
From my example, the part where they claim to have not made the argument is what I’d consider gaslighting. My understanding of gaslighting is any attempt to make someone question reality. So the reality is they definitely said one thing. When that goes wrong, they claim to have never said it. It’s a tool of someone who manipulates.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 months ago:
Except literally not the echo chamber. The intent is to get the message to those not yet brainwashed so they don’t end up in an echo chamber. You can still directly and genuinely rebut their dumbassery. That’s not “bad faith”. The fact that I know the idiot won’t be swayed by the truth, doesn’t change the fact it’s the truth. Addressing idiotic points explicitly is not bad faith.

Then they say they trust parents to make decisions on vaccines when what they mean is they are anti-vax.
Online debate can help in niche situations. It’s not about convincing the person toy are directly opposing. It’s about getting the counter arguments in a bigger forum so less brainwashed people might be able to avoid getting brainwashed.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 months ago:
Gaslighting could take the form of saying “my political team would never do [the thing].” Their political team subsequently does [the thing]. Then claiming they never said the original statement. Sometimes they’re even so fucking stupid as to leave that comment visible so you can just screenshot it and ask “this you?”
… ask me how I know.

My state has a law that you are to walk on the left side of the road. Check whatever level of laws you under?
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 4 months ago:
Not sure if there’s specific nuance between an employment contract and an offer letter, but an offer letter is legally binding.
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 4 months ago:
I don’t think there are explicit employer/employee federal regulations for that. There could be at the state level. However there are absolutely damages that occurred and a remedy can be pursued. It’s called promissory estoppel. A signed offer letter is a legally binding document. They don’t just get to wiggle out of that legally.

Nephew/ niece is nibling. Like sibling.
- Comment on I (M32) gained 140lbs in a year from bad choices, almost all in my belly (now 69-inches) due to rare genetics. With my unique proportions, I’ve outgrown most off-the-rack clothing options. Advice? 4 months ago:
To physically lose weight boils down to simple arithmetic. Calories in minus calories out. If that number is positive, you’ll gain weight. If it’s negative you’ll lose weight. Calories out mainly being your exercise. If that is difficult, you need to reduce calories in. It really is that simple.
The problem comes with aspects of health that aren’t physical. You clearly touched on a number of issues that drove you to this spiral. You need to make sure your mental health is in check. Address the mental health issues while you tackle the physical issues.
