• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WATER!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely often say water, usually because of the way it’s asked, usually something like “What would you like to drink today?”

  So it’s usually just “water” or “I’ll have water” or whatever drink in response. Glass of water sounds odd in response to me, especially since sometimes it’s green tea which usually wouldn’t come in a glass. Or coffee, etc

  Epidemiology too for RFK.

  There’s a podcast called Citation Needed (not the more popular Citations Needed) that is a comedy podcast reading Wikipedia and other short articles on events and subjects.

  While is has no distinct theme, each of the 5 hosts has something they generally pick more. One picks disasters in exploration pretty often, and just listening to that comedy podcast that doesn’t really deep dive still shows how much this post ignores how many of those 1920s people straight up died doing their work.

  I’m not a massive X-Men fan, but the adamantium skeleton is a misnomer. It coats his actual skeleton, and in one storyline is ripped off of him, and he still has a skeleton and more fragile bone claws.

  He also has basically unlimited regeneration (well, there may be a limit but if there is it’s a ridiculous limit) which would definitely cover the blood thing anyway. Also the problematic park: where does all the energy/mass for his regeneration come from?

  At one of my prior jobs (Chicos FAS,Ft Myers, FL) a maintenance guy got fired when they caught him stealing cables for copper about 10 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly for me, the bosses I got along with always got fired first. Both companies I got laid off from had several rounds of layoffs, and in both cases my boss was round 4, and I was round 5 several months later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Feels a bit like the 80s market crash. Too many low quality games flooding market.

  Iirc first cousins have a 5% chance of terrible outcomes, which might sound low but… anyone who has played D&D or other d20 TTRPGs know how often 1s hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon saves up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That used to be true, but many companies moved to Personal Time Off(PTO) instead which doesn’t have that requirement. Will vary by state and country, but I can confirm in Florida and Gerogia in the US that it’s use it or lose it. No payout necessary, even if laid off.

  I think it’s more beer than coke. It’s also for like drinking with friends and not standing out if you don’t like alcohol but the rest do

  It’s one of Alex Jones and several of his “sources” main apologetic for climate change. They claim the sun is the “main driver for climate change.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heart breaking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not quite as bad as the post, but emotions are complicated. I like friends, and I like being invited, even if I might not be able to go.

  I do want to go out to places, but sometimes the distance, timing, proximity to last event, etc make it too much.

  I don’t want to fall out of the list of invitees though, as I will want to go at some point in the future. Sometimes it’s an event that not going to might be a problem otherwise, even if I’m not up to it, but to maintain invites/friendship it’s best to suck it up.

  Very possible st stops. I’ve done it once, shocking myself more than the other driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they technically do, with stuff like Helldivers 2, Spiderman games, etc. I have Helldivers 2, but stopped playing it for a while in protest when they tried to make you use a PlayStation account for it, essentially cutting off a bunch of players in countries PlayStation doesn’t operate in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh Boy!, Golly!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are different types actually. The one a past roommate had for his attic had no real killing use except if you forgot to check it, in which case dehydration or starving would kill. It involved one way entrances, and normal food like peanut butter as bait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enough is enough⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen silence of the lambs, so only really know it through popular culture. I know there. Is some element of gender identity to the story but not much else.

  Is the whole thing transphobic, like when they make villains queer coded, or do you mean something else?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I am mighty!!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Heat is also (thermal) radiation. So is light, radio waves, microwaves, etc. However, the radiation from a fire or the other stuff I mentioned isn’t ionizing, so unless the heat itself does damage it won’t do cellular damage.

  You also give off thermal radiation, but so does anything higher temp than absolute zero.

  Some of the chemicals do show up a bit in blood, but there’s no evidence it’s toxic iirc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legends is among us⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I turned em off when my boss at the time noticed I was always playing FFXIV. I wasn’t always actually playing, I used to leave it open almost all the time. Why was my boss and I in the same discord? This was early COVID and we used a discord to shoot the shit. Also almost all of us games, including said boss, and I probably wouldn’t have really gotten in trouble anyway, but I just explained I leave it open a lot and he accepted that without qualm.

  People still will, because lots of people spoil, some like watching streaming etc. When new stuff comes out and I’m not ready to start it, it often also involves stop visiting certain communities, discords, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It shows anger issues and a proloclivity towards disproportionate retribution. Most people wouldn’t kill an animal for a simple chip/fry heist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a good question⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except earlier it said to have no idols. The cross is an idol. You can appreciate a sacrifice without using the tool that caused such sacrifice as a form of worship. If you rather jumped in front of you and died to a gun shot, he sacrificed his life to save you and you would be appreciative. Would you then wear a gun necklace around your neck to show you love your dad and the sacrifice he made for you? By sanctifying his murder weapon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, it seems I said it in a way that sounded like all my teachers were like that. Not so. I meant I only remember the passionate ones. My 8th grade science teacher, my 10th grade chemistry teacher, my high school sociology teacher, my 11th grade American History teacher and my 11th and 12th grade Electronics teacher are the only ones I have significant memories of.

  They were all passionate teachers that loved teaching, not just following a program or book. They taught with experiments, examples, etc. Even when I did things wrong. For example, the 8th grade science teacher. One experiment had us making H20 and NaCl from HCl and NaOH. We’d mix the HCl with a glass stirrer, and I started putting it in the Bunsen burner’s flame making it blue.

  Teacher caught us and had us stay after class. But instead of just a punishment or lecture, they instead brought out a bunch of dangerous to burn items including magnesium and gave us protective gear, then demonstrated why putting random things in fire was bad. It was an excellent and very fun way to teach us a lesson.

  The teachers I remember were all enthusiastic about their subjects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One placed laid me off. I was a senior telecom/network admin in IT, so while I wouldn’t have due to personal morals, I definitely had potential to, with even just my badge access.

  They gave me about 3 weeks, with no access. They told me I was gone officially at the end of the month and my would be paid normally until then, after which severance would kick in, but don’t come in.

  I think that’s a fine way to do it.
