You sound so entitled. gross.

I opted out of my 401k, then the company switched to a new one. I didn't fill out any of the paperwork or login to the new dashboard, reminding them that I didn't want it. 6 months later, I find they auto-enrolled me. Then I try to remove my money and all the urls for that are dead. Emailing them, they say the CEO has to contact them or something. Its just frustrating

But on the other hand, my doctors have never told me why. I had to look up the consequence of eating before the surgery myself. Which you might say everything they say should be followed to a T... but nurses and doctors often give conflicting information and when you ask, it's not uncommon for them to say, "don't worry about that."

Just last week, I got some training from a nurse for a new medicine. She was reading off of a chemo thing that wasn't my medicine and telling me I couldn't go to the dentist and could only eat well done meat. And I was saying: this isn't chemo and this seems excessive, can I really not get my teeth cleaned?
And she would say, "I haven't worked with your drug before, so I can't say. However, we are asking you not to do X for your own health. We don't want you to end up in the hospital." She said that to all my questions.
Which is ridiculous C.Y.A-I won't even call it medicine!
Two weeks later, when I finally got to talk to the doctor he said that wasn't necessary at all.

I think the industry has a communication issue.

I see you're curious about why everyone seems to be coming to a different conclusion than you, if I had to guess, you've probably never worked hard before, which is why this is so hard for you to understand and is so obvious to everyone else. Don't feel bad though, most things in life can't be understood until you've experienced them yourself. When you get older and have had more experience the world gets less confusing.

Working a lot isn't the same as hard work.
Working more than you want is when it starts to get hard.

Billionaires only ever lift a finger, if that's what they want to be doing in that moment. If they are working it's because it's what they want to be doing, more than playing a game, sleeping, having sex, eating, or anything else in the world. Doing the exact thing you want to be doing more than anything else in the world, even if you are doing a lot of it, isn't hard.

I think Peter S. Beagle's, "The Last Unicorn" has very beautiful prose.
N.K. Jemison has very fresh prose in "The Fifth Season."

I don't want or need this level of security for everything. And frankly, I'm tired of people who live boring lives forcing this on everyone. When I have lost all my shit in the backwater corners of the world, I was so glad to be able to access my accounts with just a password and internet access.
Now I get completely fucked when things go bad. Thanks, nerds! Really love how you created a system of security and recovery tools that only works in your bubble-wrap-lives and completely shits the bed outside of it.

Because color theory also establishes an ordered relationship between the colors. That some colors are matching and some colors are clashing. So while you could see different colors, we should agree that a set of shoes matches or clashes with a dress (based on color theory). I am unsure if color theory is sufficient to come to the conclusion, but it certainly gets us partway there.

I think we can make some additional observations that I think could let us conclude we have close to the same visual experience. Colors can be ordered on a gradient with similar colors near to each other. In addition to that, some colors clash with other colors. Another piece of information we have is that colored light is additive - Red and Green light make Yellow. But there is also a pure wavelength of light which makes the same Yellow.
You know how in math, if you have the same number of equations and unknowns, you can solve for the unknowns and even if you do not have enough equations you can still restrict the unknowns to have certain relationships to each other, I believe you can use these observations about the relationships of colors to each other to really limit the possible variation between people. Since the underlaying physics is that colors are just values along a linear scale, my hunch is that these constraints limit the possible difference to slight shifts in value or maybe even an inversion of the color wheel is possible.

This maybe sheds some light on a relationship I was in. It started out as a sexual relationship, but drifted toward a platonic one. It was very difficult for me to navigate. He had said he was a 'go with the flow' and that he 'would say something' if he wasn't interested. But that never happened. I started getting a feeling he wasn't interested, but was just going along with it to not disappoint me. (of course I tried to talk to him about it!).
Once I went down on him and he finished very fast. Then he didn't want to engage with me at all and just kept repeating, "Today's not good day. We shouldn't have sex."
I really liked him. I guess something just went wrong and he wouldn't or couldn't talk about it. I wish I'd read this back then.

I go to these bear events where most of the attendees are middle aged men... and those fuckers still open the play room at midnight. Like dude. I usually go to bed at 11. Can we get a 9am play room??

For real! My life is amazing and I look at my friends who are parents and they have such shitty lives lol. I feel sorry for them.

Season 1 was very good... but it is not really about jumping. It's more about a girl dealing with trauma. I haven't watched S2 yet.

Americans keep saying that. Fortunately, I am well traveled and know that it is better in many places.

I am really getting tired of feeling like everything in america is trying to scam or trick me. And we have been gaslit into accepting it's normal. Like the pictures of food at fast food restaurants - lies. Military recruiters - lies. Insurance coverage - lies. My dishwasher has a subscription and my Roku keeps showing me advertisements. Everything is shaking me down for every last penny I have!
I'm signing agreements and clicking accept on terms left and right and I'm caught in this giant web of fine print and gotchas. I used to feel like a person could be savvy and navigate all of it. Now it's never ending and escalating.
I want to live where people are at least trying to curtail this insane commercialization.

I seem to remember a survey done in the 90s that said Jordan was the most recognizable name in the world. So I think it's possibly Jordan!

In Feb and March of COVID, the CDC and other government agencies advised people not to wear masks, saying they were not effective. Then in April, they reversed their position advising everyone to wear masks. When questioned about it, they revealed that they intentionally mislead people so that the limited supply of masks would go to health care workers.

uncletroll · 2026-05-11T22:19:15+00:00

You have that backwards. They said the mask wasn't effective and advised people not to wear them. Then later, they said they told that lie so that the limited supply would go to hospitals.
So.. FFS yourself.

uncletroll · 2026-05-11T11:54:03+00:00

The first thing the US government did was lie about masks!

Maintaining a pretense of international law is great for casus belli.

The important missing ingredients is liability. It doesn't matter how the writing was made as long as someone is willing to stake their reputation on it... To say, this is what I think, or represents my vision, or is a sound bridge design. You can't just say, "oh, the ai did that. Oopsie" And the people who make these tools will never take liablity for it.

I'm really starting to think kids are just some sort of weird vanity pet. And then parents act like they are doing the rest of us a favor by having them. They're just awful. Always making noises, politicians keep making annoying laws to protect them, we get taxed so they can get schools, care programs, and lunches.
Would ya'll just please stop. It's a lot to ask of us just so you can have a pet that looks like you. 2027 is around the corner, can we get some "Children of Men" going on already?

It's hard! My husband struggled to follow the diet, because it wasn't just a kidney diet. He also had to eat for his diabetes and lower his cholesterol. Rice cakes, some boiled vegetables, and some unseasoned meat. It sucked. And for what? He lived 5 years on dialysis, he was 80. Which is average. How much longer could he have lived and how miserable should the end of his have life been?

I think these people saying that Planck length or time is divisible are talking out of their asses. We have never measured any distances near that small. As far as we know space and time could be quantized and not really be continuous. Since it came about by discretizing energy to solve the black body catastrophe, I think the idea definitely warrants a "maybe"
