  • All to get to a job that is actually taking a hit by requiring employees to be there for more than 6hrs a day and to which you spend way too much time commuting. Not to mention that there’s a good chance we’re literally built to have varying sleep schedules, originally to watch for predators, so half the population is just getting completely fucked because the only people we consider valuable are those whose day starts earlier.

    Dry-aged beef has spoiled. The trick to it is that you need a fairly large piece, like a whole leg or side, and then you trim off all the bad stuff on the outside. More simply, they don’t butcher it then age it. If you go buy a piece of dry-aged beef it’s gunna act a lot like any other piece of meat but if it hadn’t been butchered you could just keep aging it beyond when this individual piece would have gone bad.

    You haven’t really given any sources at all for that being the extent of their power, and you also seem to have very little understanding of the fact that a group picked out by the guy who commands the military is not easily ignored. You also talk about the Ayatollah like it’s a pope position yet he’s the guy who keeps showing up to foreign affairs stuff.

    Even in your own, un-sourced description you look kinda dumb.




  • That just helps her point to all those people and lets her go “if I’m so bad, then how come…”.

    Do not do this. Make content that tells her to go fuck herself. Be representation for others so that they can see that JKR and her incredibly mediocre books are not welcome in a world that cares about others.

    Yes, it sounds funny on the face of it, but it’s ultimately just a terrible, bad, no good idea.


  • Encouraged by who? I’m a straight white guy surrounded by plenty of woke people(dozens upon dozens) from all backgrounds and orientations, and even know a few who are pretty zealous who I’m not super close with because of that, and I’ve never seen behaviour like that except for one person who tried to weaponize it and who was called out by the community for it. I have never felt put down for being who I am, and in fact I am often surprised by how welcomed I am by all my friends, from regular gays to militant trans women and even an indigenous friend who leans a bit towards natural healing stuff(not my bag, but whatever).

    Many of the people “alienated” by it have turned out to actually just be unwilling to ever make adjustments and who aren’t as good as they claim to be. A very famous example being Elon Musk, who claimed that “woke” is why he now supports one of the cruelest institutions around. I remember when I was that fork in the road and I realized that no one was actually against me, and even if they were it wouldn’t be an excuse to go against supporting “woke” stuff.

    I’m not saying bad things didn’t happen to you, just that your narrow, anecdotal experience is not reflective of the vast majority of people.



  • Kinda weird to take personal offence from one person as an excuse to not participate in making things better.

    Like, if a conservative’s idea of a progressive came up to me and started saying I was a predator and demanding that white people be eradicated I’d just say they’re being fuckin’ weird and continue supporting progressive ideas. On the other hand, there are also the people who say “the left made me feel bad and I can’t take any criticism so I’m going to vote for Trump”.

    Like, how thin does your skin have to be?


  • Which is a lot, but you also don’t need any of the expense of owning a car. Not a dollar of it.

    It’s also brand-new and there are only 288 units, plus it’s acting as a proof of concept as much as a housing solution. The prices reflect a supply and demand issue but hopefully this will lead to more and more of this kind of development.

    Honestly, as someone who doesn’t even believe studio apartments should really be allowed at all, it’s not that bad when you actually think a little.

    Ok, but as long as the hair isn’t actually doing anything then what’s the problem? Cancer kills you and dick cheese is fucking nasty as hell(especially in the context of expexting someone to allow it into their body). Excessive, unwashed body hair that is producing an odor is nasty because it affects other people and cannot be easily ignored, but someone saying “that’s gross because now I don’t find you attractive” does not deserve any more of an answer than “go fuck yourself.” That kid’s question got a better answer than it warranted.

    You write a lot for someone who doesn’t understand communication.


  • In what way? The die tell you success rate so you can’t just say “I succeed at everything” and you use your creativity to bring it all to life.

    Your comment as written, especially with the clear example in my first comment, reads like “I’m not creative enough to work within the system”. I’m guessing that isn’t your point but I’m not sure what else to read it as.



  • People desperately need to understand that mechanical rules are there for balancing and taking them so painfully literally just isn’t necessary.

    You only get one unarmed attack on the dice, but if you want to say you did the damage in two or three hits instead of one then go for it, it literally does not matter. You can even say you missed one attack and them wound up for a sneaky second one!

    Follow the rules for number related things and roleplay and tell a story for being cool related things.

    It was just to point out that these people are both not the most knwledgeable and also very sure that they know everything or are far too confident even when they say “I’m no expert, but…” and use said confidence to ignore anything which might educate them.

    Otherwise yes, there are people without the knowledge to spell well who are quite intelligent, absolutely.

    Leftwing architecture is mixed-use, walkable neighbourhoods and community centers built with artistry in mind. It’s beatiful decor to old buildings that feel lived in. It’s parks and bus stops and bike lanes.

    Rightwing architecture is a functionally dead grass lawn and a house so perfect that it feels not only dead, but oppressive. It’s replacing a slightly ugly group of three or four stores with a chain restaurant and a parking that generates less tax revenue for the city than the “shitty” stores did. It’s the old, dilapidated neighbourhood that’s falling apart because the city is too busy spending everyone’s tax money subsidizing the rich neighbourhood, then taking photos of only it and claiming that it’s better. No sidewalks, no nature, no way to get around without a car and nothing to do once you have one except a 45min commute in traffic to get to work.

    Plus there is no group more concerned with their feelings than those people. They’re the same ones who demand common sense despite the fact the true functioning of the world is so often not intuitive and those random idiots who can barely spell half the time probably aren’t gunna be making any genius decisions.

    It’s more that those people are saying “what maximises personal returns in this moment is more important than worrying about how it will affect others.”

    For example, laying off a few thousand employees might leave those real human beings stranded BUT you’ll look like you saved the company money for at least the next couple months. Besides, once those employees are gone you can pretend that not caring about them is totally normal because they’re no longer your direct responsibility.
