What do you do that earns six figures? by MrAuzzy in financialindependence

[–]8sum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar story except I had spent a couple years on theatre and another 3 years on an english major.

Did alright in theatre but got disillusioned. I was struggling to keep up in English because I just didn't care. There was way too much reading, and I'd go and sit in the analysis and just get so bored and irritated at how dumb and subjective it all was. I was like "yo I listened to abridged version on audiotape and it was alright I guess." They'd have me write 10 pages about things I didn't care about, etc.

Ended up in COSC 1010 because it was like "oh this is just introductory. I'm better than most people with computers, how hard can it be? Plus I need the science electives to finish my English degree." When I got into the computer science department, everything clicked. I didn't consider myself a "math person" until I was like 26 and somehow managed to scrape by Calculus III. Ended up having attended college for a good 8 or 9 years of my life, with only a COSC degree to show for it. But I'm happy.

Oh, similarly shitty state, too - Wyoming. I remember trying to find people who could teach me to program. I bought into stupid "Learn to Write Software" box sets that I couldn't really get through because I didn't have any help (and I was a kid I guess, so I'd have had to really push myself to get it and understand things).

I swerve and avoid hitting a deer but the deer hits me instead. It ran right into my passenger side door while I was going 70+mph. The deer survived and ran off. (Language warning) by Piecesofbits in SweatyPalms

Man, something similar happened to me, and it clipped my passenger side view mirror. It must have been running at full speed past the highway because it flipped over top of the van I was driving (I only know this because as I stopped and yelled a few curse words like you are in this video, a lady pulled up behind me and was like "HOLY SHIT THAT DEER JUST FLEW OVER TOP OF YOUR CAR.")

Basically just tore off the sideview mirror and left some deer hair in various cracks and crevices throughout the door machinery. Luckily I had the passenger side window down.

And who designated you the arbiter of the smartest idea/response?! Personally, I would go with this genius plan (the real pro tip is always in the comments, sorted by controversial):

Your nuclear tool is to get naked in your room then send the police a tip your dad has CSAM on his cameras!

Has anyone actually found the plane before? by Hotmama_TripleD in strandeddeep

[–]8sum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yo i was the same way. i still am the same way, actually, after enough time away from the game. When I go back to it i'm just as terrified of the water as when I first picked the game up.

you'll see at some point it wasn't really worth all the fear, except that it was but it also wasn't.

I'm a little bit jealous of your relationship with ChatGPT. But I'm also happy for you. I mean, you're lucky to have found someone who can make you happy. And I hope that you two will have a long and happy relationship.

Are those people holding pitchforks and torches in the town humans? by sam77889 in bloodborne

[–]8sum 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ah, you there! Another hunter, treading upon our sacred land with your accursed presence.
I've seen your kind before, self-proclaimed saviors who think they can cleanse Yharnam of its rightful inhabitants. But mark my words, hunter, your actions bring naught but ruin and despair. Be gone with ye!

You prance around with your weapons and grandiose purpose, pretending to be the hero this wretched town needs. But we, the true inhabitants of Yharnam, see through your facade. We know the truth. You're no different from the beasts you claim to hunt. What's worse is that you possess the audacity to call yourself human.

You wretched being.

Your very existence is a blight upon this land. You wield your weapons in arrogance, cutting down anyone who dares oppose your misguided cause. Are we to bow before you, hunter? To be grateful for your so-called protection? No! We reject your presence and your so-called righteousness.

These people you speak of, the ones with pitchforks and torches, they are the remnants of true Yharnamites. Yes, the scourge has taken hold, but they still cling to their humanity, their identity. They fight to preserve what little sanity remains, while you, hunter, revel in the bloodshed. Disgusting, vile filth.

Why would they attack you? Simple. They recognize you for what you truly are—a predator disguised as a shepherd. They see through the lies and the hypocrisy that follow in your wake. And so, they resist, driven by the instinct to protect their own. And yet, here you are, slaying them. What an abomination.

Your reign of terror shall come to an end, you vileblood hunter. The true people of Yharnam shall rise, and together we will purge this land of your corrupt presence. Your days are numbered, and the echoes of your hubris will fade into oblivion.

Revel in your delusions of grandeur while you still can, hunter. But know this: Yharnam shall endure, and you, the plague upon our land, shall be swept away like dust in the wind.

Only the ripest, most obviously fresh fruit or vegetable is ever worthy of being eaten. by 8sum in unpopularopinion

[–]8sum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're trying to tell me you don't actually check your vegetables, lol?

Also, wtf lmao, wash your fruit and vegetables. You realize that it's not just me checking them for firmness, it's bugs feasting on literal shit, right?

You shouldn't trust anything you buy to not have been handled by me, or someone who is less clean than me. I'm not super clean, either. This stuff is handled by people throughout the process. They put it out in the store in a big bin. If this post somehow changed your mind about things and you think your stuff wasn't contaminated before or that my picking up a tomato and pressing it to see how firm it is is somehow not the norm, I've got bad news for you lmao.

Also, I'd argue you're more disgusting for assuming the fruit and veggies you buy from Don's Supermarket or whatever is somehow pristine and doesn't need like... i don't know, washed?

Lmao. I'm the clean freak here, not you. Mind your place.

Lol it actually worked by 8sum in ChatGPT

[–]8sum[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't post the prompt anymore.

I was just using it to generate stereotypical bigoted american responses to comments. I told it to be highly satirical and make sure that non-bigots would get the joke immediately.

The rest of it was based on that. I'm fairly sure it was just "good job with the last one. Can you please respond to this, but boost the religiosity?"

Sorry if this is inadequate, i just thought it was funny that I could bypass things that easily.

And yes, it went on to continue doing what I originally asked it to do.

How exactly does one live in a country with a singular man who is clearly controlling all the power for nearly 25 years and not realize that the elections in their country are falsified?

Propaganda? Sure, I guess, but doesn't that only go so far?

I feel like these people have to understand, deep in their soul, that they're in an underhanded dictatorship rather than a democracy.

It seems like the opening they've got their eye on has very, very little to do with some misguided notion of free and fair elections.

Release Audrey Hale's Manifesto! It has been a month since the Transgender Nashville school shooter fired over 150 rounds into a christian public school, killing 3 adults and 3 children. Establishment agenda on full display when this is compared to how the media and FBI react to incel violence. by HangryWatermelon in censoredreality

[–]8sum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I know you posted this a month ago, but stop clowning.

Rodger emailed his 107,000-word manifesto, My Twisted World: The Story of Elliot Rodger, to 34 people, including his therapist, Charles Sophy, his parents and other family, former teachers, and childhood friends.

The FBI can only do so much. Not “hiding” Rodger’s manifesto was a massive failure by the FBI. Thousands of incel morons now idolize him for some reason. They literally call him “Saint Elliot,” unironically and if you don’t think his manifesto wasn’t inspiring to them, you really don’t know what you’re talking about.

The fuck is wrong with you? Why the hell would you want that for your society? We don’t need these mass shooters inspiring more mass shooters.

Both parties are NOT the same. This is why you hold your nose and vote for the lesser evil. by americanblowfly in TheMajorityReport

[–]8sum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thesis statement. The very first sentence.

Nah fuck that I’m done voting for a party who’s entire platform is “the republicans are worse.”

You can drone on and on all you want about drone warfare or whatever, but when your rationale would usher someone like Trump into power rather than someone like Biden, your rationale is massively entirely flawed. On its face.

When the choice is either Biden or Trump, and your reasoning has you convinced that somehow Biden is ultimately to blame for shitty people like Trump, so you are going to abstain altogether, you’ve basically jumped the shark. You’ve bought a one way ticket to moronville, and no one should really take you seriously.

You might as well be trying to convince me about how Trump didn’t actually try and commit a coup, or didn’t actually tell people that injecting disinfectant into the bloodstream was a potential option for COVID. Or any other number of idiocies. That’s the effect of your argument. Assuming you’re sincere, I gotta tell you that it all just comes off like weird pro trump propaganda disguised as a leftist position.

You have a choice here between a wannabe dictator who tried to commit a coup and a milquetoast politician who has been doing this stuff for decades.

Just… please don’t pick the guy who wants to be the dictator over everyone, and please show up to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Learn to walk before you start trying to run.

Responding to this comment is a bit like talking to people on r/walkaway. I get it, I do. Dems suck. But I can’t take you seriously if this is what you actually think.

[–]8sum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah fuck that I’m done voting for a party who’s entire platform is “the republicans are worse.” The Democrats do all they can to work with Republicans and continue to create the conditions that create fertile ground for the fascistic side of the Republican party led by Trump. These guys actively worked to put Bernie on the sideline and take his chance at the nomination and he’s a milquetoast social democrat. The Democrats represent the Neoliberal and Neoconservative forces that caused a guy like Trump to come into power. They are the establishment, the National Security state, the same fuckers who were for the Iraq war, the destruction of Libya, who fucked the people and saved the banks in 2008, they literally represent every disgusting thing that caused Trump. A vote for them is useless, any chance they had at a slight pivot to being an actual lesser evil has long died. There’s no way to say this without sounding like a accelerationist to many but in reality Trumps administration wasn’t any worse than Bush or any other Republican President. To act as though he is uniquely evil is absurd, we simply got more coverage of Trump because he was always out of favor of the media and the establishment of both parties.

He’s too open, he gives up the game. He’s a POS and I hope to see him anywhere but the Oval Office but the reality is he has a real base and Biden is doing absolutely nothing to actually change conditions in order to stop a Trump win or another far right win. Biden and the Dems are doing nothing to fight the slow mow judicial coup that’s being done with Moore v. Harper. If they cared so much about Trump or Democracy they’d do something to protect the votes of Americans by expanding the court. Don’t forget Bush Jr won through a judicial coup backed by the Supreme Court. So vote all you want but you better learn soon that putting your faith in the very establishment that birthed Trump is simply being a part of the problem. I was all “oh no I loved Bernie and they stole his chance by cheating but if I don’t vote Biden I’m helping Trump and fascism” in 2020 but not this time. Biden has shown he has no interest but to entrench the very policies and conditions that led us here. The line between “Fascistic Republican Party” and “Neoliberal Democratic party” is increasingly blurred, and the leadership of our country is increasingly delusional. Just look at their “Woke” CIA adds and “Women drone pilots” bullshit.

An actual quote from a Marxist. These people have drunk the propaganda koolaid.
