  • My friend has a zoology degree, spent time as an officer in the military, and runs a successful business building training systems.

    She's super stoked to be fullfilling one of her biggest dreams, going on an Antarctic expedition.

    As a janitor.

  • "fridging" is honestly the only good motivation to become a superhero or good person

    Jump

  • I would absolutely react more to my child getting killed than literally anyone else on the planet, what are you on about?

    Though in fairness, if I had powers, I don't think it would be a pursuit of justice or launch me on some path of heroism. Somebody would just die badly (assuming the initial killing was either deliberate or through willful neglect).

  • Halloween is coming up, folks. So here's your seventh idea for a costume

  • Should be visor-type sunglasses. Kind of makes the look. You know, one lense going from...

  • People who want a romantic partner, what are you looking for that your current options lack?

  • If you're not using one of these, you might be cracking eggs wrong.

  • Has this ever happened to you?

  • If I remember correctly (it's been over 16 years), my wife suggested separate checks the first time, and I told her I'd pay this time and she could get the next one if she wanted to go out again.

    I think I still ended up paying for the next one (or separate checks), but that wasn't a cultural norm thing, I just get uncomfortable with other people paying for me.

  • How could they??

    Jump

  • I recently lived in military housing (where all the units were quadplexes with basically the same layout in each unit), and I can imagine somebody getting drunk and passing out at a neighbor's house, waking up, and wandering upstairs to exactly this situation.

  • Counterpoint: your point is in no way credible without a source (in many cases, and only for things that would run contrary to current knowledge). So if you claim that Ivermectin cures Covid, your comment isn't even worth making unless you cite a source.

    In other words, a fleshed out comment of : "Actually, blah-blah-blah for three paragraphs" carries exactly as much credibility as "No it isn't" without any citation, so why bother writing it if you don't source it?

  • Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest!

  • I don't believe in a soul. That is definitely not religious dogma.

    The idea that reincarnation is the default and one would have to be indoctrinated against it is... I would say, a very interesting position to take, if I'm being polite.

  • I remember a comic where one character says "Why are there so many monsters in this dungeon?!"

    The other says "because they live here."

    And the first character says "oh. ...ooooooohhhh...."

  • [Serious] What non-political thing do you wish more people would make another consideration for?

  • My daughter's class (6th grade) is reading Hunger Games. I feel like that's a great way to get kids into it.

  • Am I out of the loop? Why the fuck would we be invading Venezuela?

  • I just started watching Voyager and got to that part. I couldn't believe she actually said the line, I thought that was a joke.

    Tell me you're poor without telling me your income

    Jump

  • It's a silly distinction. If you are "going to college/university," you could be going for any number of degree programs, from a Bachelor's Degree, to an Associates Degree, to a Master's Degree, or whatever. The degree program is irrelevant. If you are going to school, and it is a college or university, you are going to college/university.

  • What are some backhanded compliments that are very subtle?

    Jump

  • Any response to "ive been thinking"

    I usually quickly respond "you okay?" in a concerned tone.

  • Do you think you can become a benevolent dictator without ever getting corrupted or turn evil?

    Jump

  • Yes and no.

    I have never had a lust for power. I have never had a desire to do things that people in power abuse their position to do (like nightmare islands, sex with interns, crushing minorities). I don't even have an intense desire for money beyond basic comfort (I would love to have money for a boat right now, but I'm content saving up for it). So corruption for any of that? No.

    However, I am not sure I have the capability of doing good in a proper way. I can't tell if I'd be a Sisko or if I would just fail to achieve any of my aims out of not wanting to do things the wrong way (if you go authoritarian to try to make things better, is that still corrupt or evil?). The world is a fucked up, difficult to navigate place, morally, when you are making decisions for a lot of people.

    So yeah, I could avoid corruption for my own sake, but I don't think I would be able to be a benevolent dictator.

  • To your second point:

    how often I send an email with a bulleted list of issues that need to be addressed and the response only addresses a fraction of them while the rest are ignores.

    I typically will reply with just the bulleted points they didn't address and then keep sending it with less and less bullets until either they answer all points or stop replying... after the third or fourth reminder email. I make sure the previous emails are in the string and never change the title.

  • How often do guys have a haircut?

    Jump

  • I cut my own hair every weekend. I'm in the military, though (and no, I don't just shave it). I found that I do it more to my liking (and consistently) than the barbers I've gone to, it only takes 20 minutes, I don't have to pay $30, and I can shower immediately after. I use a 6 (3/4 inch) on top, a 3 (3/8 inch) around the curve transitioning to the sides, and then fade down from there, 2 to 1.5 to 1 and finally .5 (1/16 inch) around my ears, side-burns, and most of the back. Keeps everything clean, I always look good, and I spend about $40 every year or two.
