  • Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.

  • Combined with the various bold statements and it paints quite a picture of just how controlling this person is.

  • I joined a large friend group that had been together for 7 or so years. There was a person that I noticed would tell different people slightly different versions of stories. Normally I'd dismiss these as white lies but I noticed a pattern. The person in question saw relationships as transactional and I highly suspected that these white lies revealed a much deeper penchant for emotional manipulation.

    I tried to warn some people that I thought I could trust within the friend group, but this upset some people and I had the step way back. After all, who is the new person to come into this group and fuck things up? I kept my mouth shut and out of the drama as I had to watch this person build a giant rift within the group.

    Thankfully a few people had finally remembered the warning I had given years before and started comparing notes on the stories this person had told everyone. In the end I was vindicated when people started confronting the lies, but a lot of people had to go through therapy for the years of suffering that person caused in the meantime. I'm not giving too many details, but it got bad: suicide attempts, cops, legal battles. I had to just sit there and watch it all.

  • It's simple: The OP Trojan horse a Legolas elves while Atreides Dune lol'd an ATM on the slow while the obvious was exaggerated. And it was upsetting impossible perspective.

  • Or I receive an already open item. I get those so much that that alone stops me from using amazon.

  • Good lord, how many armpits do you have!?

  • You can't consider that without also considering the alternative: Is going sober at a festival preferable to possibly taking too many edibles while in public?

  • It's absolutely plausible. I know a guy who posts just like this.

  • I feel it's bad form to put the punchline in the post title.

  • Don't let others downplay the "quality" of your protest. "It doesn't really matter, does it?" is the #1 enemy of protests.

  • The only way to satisfy your curiosity is to go down an extremely depressing rabbit hole. Modern politics makes my explanation more difficult to get across without risking a ton of other baggage, but if we can set that aside for just a moment: A depressing amount of people across history are very willing to believe the most stupid, heinous shit about and around the Jewish people.

  • I remember reading a study years ago that said people are more likely to support a leader who "plays dirty" because 1) they figure other leaders are doing the same so they must level the playing field, and 2) they can turn a blind eye to the misdeeds because it's the leader doing it, not the voters.

  • It would have to involve considering they might be wrong, which requires even the slightest care of being right. And they don't care at all about being right because they have a side to defend and that's all that matters.

  • Yup. Lots of managers are forcing people to use AI so they can report doing so in their metrics.

  • I really fucking hate how his fans can just listen to him lie like this over and over and it doesn't affect their opinion of him. I remember falling for it a couple times before I started asking "Is this like the last time you promised dates?"

    By that time it was a moot point, however, because that "pedo guy" comment was just around the corner. Now anyone who likes him after that needs to go to therapy to figure out a few things.

    I won't comment on people who support him after the other things.

  • RAM used to grow on trees next to the money bushes. We used to grab a few bucks and smoke under the shade before picking a few rams on our way back home.

  • The US has laws saying vehicle manufacturers have to produce parts to service the cars for x number of years, or something like that. We just put in some new law that covers EVs similarly.

  • What part of "unauthorized access" is so difficult for people to understand?

  • The door was unlocked, officer!
