- Comment on How to respond to the ‘Gen Z stare’ without looking like a total boomer | CNN 3 days ago:
- Comment on why do Trader Joe's employees do that? 2 weeks ago:
Using positive reinforcement by affirming purchases as a sales tactic. Annoying, insulting and weird AF.
- Comment on Stop Giving 2 Weeks' Notice: Company loyalty goes both ways. 2 weeks ago:
I never gave two weeks notice out of loyalty to a company, but to my own professional reputation.

Any of these cardboard cutouts should work.
- Comment on Are fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field during geomagnetic storms actually enough to cause stress on our cells and bodies, or am I encountering junk science? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe reconsider how reputable the sources are?
- Comment on If I only have space/money for one exercise machine, what should I get? 1 month ago:
Whatever you are going to use regularly and not get bored with. Consistency is key.

I hope pinche cabron is in the string of expletives
- Comment on Can cartilage be replaced? And if not, Why can't they just inject something like silicone into a joint? 1 month ago:
I don’t know about sensors but nerves still register pain, my
domphysical therapist tested that. Safe word was co-pay ; ) More accurately, after recovery and rebuilding muscle support, no pain. Pre-hab was vital as well. - Comment on Can cartilage be replaced? And if not, Why can't they just inject something like silicone into a joint? 1 month ago:
Had cortisone, collagen, platelet rich plasma and something else I forgot. All offered varying degrees of temporary relief (2 or so months) Knee replacement has given years of pain relief. No running or court sports (tennis, basketball with stop/start cutting) but returned to backpacking and skiing in 6 months, ice hockey and rock climbing after a full year. (No bouldering, can’t risk landing even with crash pads). Occasionally have to ice for stiffness but pain is gone.
- Comment on Why are lemmings so touchy about downvotes? 1 month ago:
Remind yourself the opinions of dumbasses can be, well, dumb.
- Comment on Why are lemmings so touchy about downvotes? 1 month ago:
Doesn’t bother me. In general I feel I’ve earned my downvotes. I can say stupid shit or phrase in an insensitive manner. Some cases can be good feedback and cause introspection.
By pattern I’ve think some individuals dislike something (or many things) I’ve said enough to downvote every post of mine they see. If downvoting me makes them feel good, I’m happy for them. The block button is right there though…

- Comment on Rich people don't understand us at all. 2 months ago:
Good to be charitable but they said not a joke later in this thread.
- Comment on Rich people don't understand us at all. 2 months ago:
I am that old and this is patently false. Sharing a flat was a way to reduce expenses for my generation and generations before me. More common in urban areas. Also for women was often safer than living alone.
- Comment on Capitalism is an unrealistic death cult. 2 months ago:
Birds were socialists.
- Comment on Solar panels for surveillance but none for affordable power 2 months ago:
IIRC majority of cameras are paid for by governments and installed on public lands so the government bit is appropriate. Fun fact, HOA’s are considered governments, although those cameras are on private property.
- Comment on What would happen if I was elected President, and took all the tariff bullshit off of these countries? Balanced the budget, opened up the Reagan Reserves? 2 months ago:
portrays very well what might actually happen if a random “ordinary person” with no political experience were elected president of a country, and what challenges they would face.
Uh, isn’t that scenario playing out in real time in the US.

Doctors Without Borders, legal aid society, Plenty of credentialed professionals volunteer their services as well.
- Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap! 2 months ago:
Millions of people work for free every day, we call them volunteers. Many of our institutions including hospitals, parks, schools, sports leagues, museums, food banks, community theaters and zoos depend on volunteer staffing to run their programs.
When I hear someone say no one will work if they aren’t paid, I hear projection.

- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 2 months ago:
It’s Pinocchio, a lyre, perhaps a duet.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 2 months ago:
Do you think Pinocchio farts would sound more like a woodwind instead of a trombone?
- Comment on Do black people actually want to be called Black with capital B? 4 months ago:
Lots of generally accepted bigotry throughout society, even in the constitution
- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 4 months ago:
Yes, certainly not excuse. Thank you. Perhaps explain or ameliorate would be better word choice. Most go through teen years without perpetuating acts of racial violence, no excuse.
- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 4 months ago:
Certainly can excuse once, maybe twice, but a continued patten suggests this is more than just poor impulse control due to an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex.
