- Comment on This could be the costume for a New Super Hero. What would you name him? 1 week ago:
Exactly what I thought of.
- Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs? 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. There are really only two reasons managers do that. Either they want to deny raises or they want to fire you. Both need a paper trail, and neither is affected by what they say to coworkers. Either way it’s time to interview with other companies.
- Comment on If someone murdered me, how long would it take (if ever) until they catch the murderer? 4 weeks ago:
Also significant that the vast majority of solved murders are committed by someone you know. The FBI stats have <10% of solved murders being committed by strangers. It’s impossible to know what percentage of unsolved murders were committed by strangers, but it’s clear the odds are not in your favor if it isn’t somebody the police can add to their list just by asking around.
- Comment on Bad Guys... Overdue Assignment 4 weeks ago:
Great rollercoaster of being positive this is satire, then doubting myself and being sure it’s legitimate, then back to sure it was satire.
Fantastic job.
- Comment on We need a new Amazon 4 weeks ago:
I do this, but be warned some companies use Amazon for fulfillment. I have ordered directly from manufacturer websites and still ended up with an Amazon package at my door. I just make a note to find a different brand if I ever need that thing again.
- Comment on Relevant advertising 🤪 5 weeks ago:
I thought the exact same thing until I remembered Reddit has a similar community. I literally grimaced when I saw them.
- Comment on how do you separate your clothes and linens to avoid fabric degradation and bleeding? 5 weeks ago:
$12? I’m glad I was already lying down when I read that. It was only $2 (total) per load when I was in college 15 years ago, and I was already trying to min-max it then. I’d go back to hand washing and line drying if I saw that.
- Comment on how do you separate your clothes and linens to avoid fabric degradation and bleeding? 5 weeks ago:
Same here. And I only separate by weight to help my dryer out. Now my normal clothes are done a half hour sooner and my jeans don’t come out damp.

Are there multiple endings?

I remember expecting what you described but being surprised they were still going forward with separating.
It’s entirely possible I misinterpreted, though.

Doin’ that JavaScript math
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 1 month ago:
Is it even possible to play MGS without spoilers these days? Maybe I’m online too much, but I feel like I’ve seen 50% of it through memes alone.
- Comment on What do you create? 1 month ago:
That sounds even more stressful. Good luck!
- Comment on What do you create? 1 month ago:
Resin dice, novels, 3D prints, paintings, video games, wooden furniture, RPG scenarios. I have way too many hobbies and maybe two hours per week to work on them, so in reality I create very little. But making something physical is incredibly helpful for keeping the worst of my depression at bay.
- Comment on What do you create? 1 month ago:
I definitely didn’t read it that way from the post. I thought it was about your hobbies and creative interests. I guess you could infer social strata by whether the answerer has time and disposable income for hobbies. Some don’t require much investment, but it’s usually more than none.
- Comment on What do you create? 1 month ago:
Is this an already published book? Or are you releasing it concurrently with the audiobook?
- Comment on Yes, very much 2 months ago:
I know a couple people like that. Once you know it’s better to stop wasting your breath. Just respond with, “Not much,” and physically move on. Definitely don’t say, “Not much. You?” because then you’re forced to sit through whatever they wanted to talk about when they asked. Better to cut it short and talk to people you share interests with or who at least know how to have a conversation.
- Comment on Sexual Kinks 2 months ago:
Am I blind or is this the exact same as the posted comic?
- Comment on Anon makes bad decisions 3 months ago:
I accidentally spoiled that part for my wife. I had already seen it several times before and was watching it again with her. She had her head on my chest and apparently my heart started beating faster at the ramp up to that part, so she knew what was about to happen and called it right before it happened.
- Comment on Gotta love these new folding phones.. 4 months ago:
This is universally the phone your teen sister has when you visit home over the holiday.

He narrates the Minecraft audiobooks my kid listens to as well.
- Comment on . . . 5 months ago:
I used to think like the OP/image, but now I’m in your camp. You should absolutely eat things you don’t enjoy if they are good for you. But bad pizza crust is just punishing your mouth while gaining weight.
I understand the food waste argument, but it’s wasted whether you eat it or not. You’re wasting just as much if you don’t eat the peel of the banana.
- Comment on Anon is baffled by Mel Gibson's continued career 6 months ago:
For a second I thought you meant that you watched Hacksaw Ridge in class.
- Comment on I'm driving I get to control the radio! 7 months ago:
The Blood Machines OST is my favorite album of any genre, and I’ve never even seen the movie.
- Comment on Overthrow a Government and Install a Puppet Dictator? The CIA will do it for Bananas! 8 months ago:
It was fun to see Michael Emerson in Fallout with a dog that looks just like Bear. He’ll always be some variation of Finch to me.

I didn’t even know he was sick.
