- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 weeks ago:
Do you mean like if an alien just showed up on my doorstep and was like, “take me to your leader”? Because I would ask, “How about we just chill here for a bit?” because nothing good is going to come from the next part.

Mitch McConnel could beat Trump in a physical fight.
- Comment on Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs? 1 month ago:
Yeah, firefighters are in the same class as lifeguards. They’re protecting people from forces of nature, and don’t have any ideology that is central to their work other than “save lives”.
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 2 months ago:
Hell yeah! America is now the number one exporter in highly qualified workers!

What’s with this “you” middle man? Let’s just get rid of that and have shareholders-robots.

Absurd, and delightfully wholesome. Wish I could give more upvote.

Following Seinfeld’s logic, maybe Michael Richards’ popping off with the n-word is a “little better here” than Jerry’s dishonest insinuation that the Fee Palestine demonstrators are all antisemitic.

Also kinda similar is Buried with Ryan Reynolds. Just him in a box the whole movie.

Anecdotally, I feel like im a pretty different person than I was when I was 22. Had first kid at 34, and am now 42.
Analytically, I can’t know for sure if I would have significantly different feelings (e.g. regret, relief, etc.) if I had made different decisions. I recognize that the world is different now for 22 year olds compared to when I was 22. If “regret” avoidance is the main objective, then I’d guess that you could make a better assessment of potential outcomes (your possible feelings of regret) than your family as long as you’ve considered all of those outcome scenarios.

Maybe I don’t watch enough movies, but after stumbling on the third Venom movie while it was on Netflix, I might honestly consider it the worst movie I’ve seen in the last 10 years.

Of all the promises Trump has made, I bet this is the one that he actually intends to keep. /s

Speaking from US perspective, our tax code is a few thousand pages. I don’t think it’s meant for most people to understand.
That said, yeah the effective tax rate being a larger percent of one’s income than the income from a second job is probably something that would be understood by most if stated differently.
- Comment on If you could have any vision-related superpower, what would it be? 11 months ago:
That vision ability to see people’s names from Death Note would be helpful for avoiding those awkward social interactions where someone is talking to me but I’ve completely forgotten who they are.

I can’t remember which movie, but some basic rom-com. Girl was in a fight with her ex and trying to make him feel bad said, “I gave you the best years of my life.” And dude, utterly confused, responds, “those were your best?” The movie was forgettable, but that absolutely savage line stuck with me.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 year ago:
Be engineer, draw pictures with numbers next to it that mean that your picture is important. Give picture to someone who agrees that your picture is important and presses on your picture with a stamp. Then give your picture to people that don’t work at desks to make a thing that looks like your important picture.

I don’t know why these are asked in the past tense like I don’t still do these things.
- Comment on are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same. 1 year ago:
Totally fair. I only started paying attention after hearing a podcast about how the letter “D” is pronounced in names in some other cultures. I was doing it wrong. It was a similar issue with position of the tongue when saying words like “dentist” compared to “dog”.
- Comment on are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same. 1 year ago:
Reading differences in pronunciation can be difficult, but in regard to tongue placement when saying these words, when saying “blush”, the tip of the tongue should press against the inside of the top-front teeth. When saying “brush”, the tongue should curl back and lightly press on the inside right and left side of the back teeth.
- Comment on Why Are People Surprised When Trump Actually Follows Through? 1 year ago:
When he said that he could grab women “by the pussy”, he followed through with it when he raped E Jean Carroll. But when he said that he “could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody”, I don’t think that he has so far.
It seems that his voters are thinking that he’s not serious about the murder thing, but it’s okay if he’s serious about the rape thing, when it’s quite likely that he’s serious about both.
