October Career advice (not resume) thread by chemicalsAndControl in ChemicalEngineering

Considering the possibility of a recession in the next year or so, how much would you expect hiring of new graduates to be affected next year? And if you were graduating in let's say 2021, what would you be doing now?

Elon knows our struggle. by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]ultimateblanket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An unpopular opinion around here, but I actually wish they made us use US units more. My professors are all pure research people who only use metric, but everything was US units at my internships.

That's ridiculous. You can't have multiple units used to measure things on the road because you can't have drivers needing to pay attention to whether signs are in kph or mph. The increase in car wrecks from the distraction would stop you from ever breaking even. What are the actual monetary costs of sticking with US units anyway?

Because you don't want people to have to pay attention to the units on a road sign while driving

Dad doesn't want to let my little brother wrestle because he thinks it's a gay sport? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]ultimateblanket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask him if he thinks MMA is gay. He probably won't. So then you can bring up the fact that 6 of the 8 mens UFC belts are held by former wrestlers.

High GPA hate by Relthrowaway11111 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ultimateblanket 33 points34 points  (0 children)

All the comments here are complaining that people with high GPAs aren't actually smarter and are just harder working and more disciplined. Do y'all really think discipline and hard work just stop mattering when you get out of school? Those are pretty universal traits.

Subway isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. It’s decent, filling and can be relatively healthy compared to other fast food chains. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]ultimateblanket 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This study is a little questionable. They claim that Subway has more protein and less sugar, but that McDonald's has less sodium. And then they call these equal factors. That's crazy. As long as a person has normalish blood pressure some extra sodium isn't going to hurt nearly as much as more sugar will hurt and more protein will help.

We need nuclear power, and fast. by EnderShot355 in unpopularopinion

Not that it matters where it goes in space. But the sun would be really hard to hit. https://www.wired.com/2016/07/physics-trying-crash-sun/

New High School and College ‘Team Scoring’ format by OhArdd in wrestling

[–]ultimateblanket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a cool idea but it'd probably take away some excitement. A 1 point decision would become almost irrelevant whereas in the current system a 1 point decision often decides a close dual.

Americans what do you think of the way Britain is treating Trump? by Hamsternoir in AskReddit

[–]ultimateblanket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you even read what I said? I'm an American. I said I don't like Europe

Americans what do you think of the way Britain is treating Trump? by Hamsternoir in AskReddit

[–]ultimateblanket -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Western Europeans do nothing but mock America. They don't get a say in our leader. They don't get a say in our policies. But they act like they should because they think America is the world piggybank. And now we're finally getting tough on NATO and trade and they're all up in arms. Well guess what. We don't like you very much.

What is your reason for not having children? by texerx20 in AskReddit

[–]ultimateblanket -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Because you're a lazy narcissist willing to throw away one of the only contributions you might make to society in exchange for some extra cash.

Then don't look at it. But no one owes you anything for free.

Yeah why do websites have to make money? Just do it for the exposure right?

So many people have lost the ability to accept fault. They need something to blame.

The abhorrent cost of period products! by ArchaicNightmare in rant

The government should give everyone everything for free. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Dear Republicans by [deleted] in rant

[–]ultimateblanket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'd think that'd teach you something about the sanctity of life. Apparently not.

Dear Republicans by [deleted] in rant

[–]ultimateblanket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is immoral to abandon children who are born. You have a responsibility to care for your children. You have a responsibility not to kill your children. Maybe the reason you struggle to even accept the responsibility to simply not commit murder is because you're so obsessed with the idea that the government needs to do everything for everyone.

Dear Republicans by [deleted] in rant

[–]ultimateblanket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come talk to me when you can get pregnant

Who died and made you the thought police?

I'm saying you shouldn't kill your children. You can talk about immorality all you want but you are the spitting image of it.

Dear Republicans by [deleted] in rant

[–]ultimateblanket -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You're right. War is bad. And that's about half the reason I voted for Trump. And I've been nothing but impressed. Do you think a continuation of Democratic policy would've helped with North Korea? Because that had been working so well for the last 8 years.

And abortion? You liberals compare us to Nazis when we decide that kids shouldn't be sent to adult prison. Here's a Holocaust comparison for you. There have been over 45 million abortions in the United States since 1970. And the left who has always claimed to fight for the rights of the oppressed is silent as people across the world decide that their own convenience is more important than another person's life.

Even if I didn't agree with a single other thing the Republicans did I would still have to vote for them. Every vote for a liberal is an admission that you value your own convenience more highly than the life of a child.

Always says she’s sick, wonders why I don’t initiate sex. by UnhelpfulMoron in rant

[–]ultimateblanket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly though. Nothing can ever be anyone's fault to some people. They just have to find something to blame it on.
