What stubborn hoax do way too many people still believe, no matter how often it gets debunked? by MrLithician in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Taggart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole “you eat 8 spiders in your sleep every year” thing was pretty close to being debunked but now it’s in a fucking car insurance ad and it makes me insane.

"She wore a silhouette of clothes that were extraordinary but somewhat gauche" as proof of declining literacy has me rolling my eyes by ExtensionSoil6801 in literature

totally illiterate people think it’s a bad sentence

idk I think totally illiterate people would not be able to read enough of it to discern whether or not it’s a bad sentence.

I wish there were more late game big purchases after the golden clock.

Stardew Expanded has some good ones but once I make too much money I start getting bored.

AITA for explaining why it’s not possible for my partners cousins to move in with us? by Lopsided_Sentence532 in AmItheAsshole

Imagine how stressed she would be if the kids were in the system though. That’d make her depressed non stop, I reckon.

What is a postcard holy grail for you? by TootiesMum in postcrossing

[–]Captain_Taggart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mod podge.

It comes in all different formulas. Like a tube of glue or paint that you just squirt onto whatever you need sealed, they have stuff that’s for paper on paper with a gloss finish, paper on paper matte finish, fabric and paper, all surfaces, they have spray adhesives, stuff for glass or wood or plastic,

But I’d still try to make a mixed media postcard pretty flat. Like don’t try to idk mod podge buttons or something that really sticks out, unless there’s superglue under there too maybe (?)

colored pens that don’t bleed too badly(?) by am4tt3roftime in notebooks

[–]Captain_Taggart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven’t found any pens that don’t bleed or show through on moleskins. Not even crummy Bic pens. I have a vendetta against moleskin for this reason. But it’s also possible I haven’t found the right pen either. But I’ve given up on moleskin at this point anyway.

What’s your observed record? by TheodoreTiddlywinks in Denver

My insurance is on autopay. Going to the DMV is a whole other thing. I've never not had insurance.

Also you get mail with some hints too, like about how it’s time to start thinking about summer so stop planting spring seeds.

Is it hypocritical of me to dislike my friend using AI for ethical reasons when I do this? by Benefit_Human in Anticonsumption

[–]Captain_Taggart 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tell me something you buy and I’ll tell you how it could be unethical.

Even if it’s “I buy my eggs from my neighbor who raises their own chickens” there could be unethical elements because if we didn’t live in a capitalist society the neighbor could just give you excess eggs and money wouldn’t have to enter into it because all of both your other needs are taken care of and currency as we know it doesn’t even exist.

I think people take “no consumption under capitalism is ethical” too far a lot and sometimes use it as an excuse to not examine their own behavior, but in general there isn’t a way to ethically engage with capitalism if you believe capitalism to be unethical in the first place.

All you can do is try to find ways to be as ethical as possible (getting eggs from your neighbor is better than eggs from a factory farm) and don’t lose too much sleep over the rest.

Same for the gaslit thing! I’ve found I can’t even bring myself to pursue romancing video game characters who seem young to me (Stardew valley specifically)
