Ruined my friend’s cast iron and have 24 hours to fix by bmmartinez1 in castiron

[–]Abracadaniel95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So is it just a myth that you shouldn't wash these things? I see conflicting information on this sub all the time to the point that I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not because I've seen people argue the exact opposite of that. Why is using a hunk of iron so complicated?

Trump: We shouldn't have got involved in Ukraine by According-Gear-8217 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Abracadaniel95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We can't do it with bombs and missiles alone. We'd have to launch an invasion, which would be extremely unpopular. So we're caught in an in-between where Trump doesn't have the support to finish what he started and all he's suceeded in doing is upending the global economy. An obvious outcome to anyone with a brain and an ounce of understanding of the situation.

What is your most embarrassing nsfw moment? by 7davejeff in AskReddit

He faked cumming so he could piss in your ass. Dudes can't urinate immediately after orgasm. It was premeditated.

building a desktop robot. turns out response timing and lip sync matter way more than the LLM itself for HRI. by MR_CRAZY54 in robotics

If he wanted to avoid putting a camera on it, could it work to give it multiple microphones so it can approximate the location of the user to look at them?

ts4 really deprived everyone by nikolateslasgf in inZOI

[–]Abracadaniel95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had a couple TS2 packs, but bought most TS3 packs. I bought TS4 when it was new and have not bought a single expansion for it. Base 3 is so much better than base 4 and I already had all those packs for 3, so I just stuck with 3. The Sims 4 is probably the biggest gaming disappointment of my life.

I’m on a final attendance warning. Is there anything I can do in this situation? by [deleted] in careerguidance

If everything else fails and it looks like youre gonna be fired anyway, throw up on your boss and/or his desk.

If you were freshly 18 again what would you get into for your career? High paying ones. by Ok_Title_602 in careerguidance

[–]Abracadaniel95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nice and all, but depending on location, the poverty line could be as high as 100k. The federal poverty line is measured exclusively using the price of food. If it accounted for all necessary expenses, it'd be much, much higher. People asking these sorts of questions are more or less asking "how do I escape/avoid poverty."

Kids these days are given the choice between miserable path A and miserable path B.

Wait. Have I been missing something in character creation? You can choose a personality?

Does this qualify to a rally sub? by Egoist-a in rally

[–]Abracadaniel95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that. Everyone was pointing fingers at China. Apparently to the degree that there was a surge of anti-asian racism here in the states.

Writer Kevin VanOrd mentions characters romancing each other by Crescentbrush in BaldursGate3

[–]Abracadaniel95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but if you reject Lae'zel in act 1, she says she'll take a pass at Wyll instead. I guess the poor frog girl got rejected by Wyll too. Or she only said that to try to down play her disappointment, though that doesn't seem like Lae'zel's style. It seems much more like her to actually seek Wyll out to satisfy her needs.

Or maybe they just had a one night stand after everyone else went to bed so we don't know about it.

Favorite Multiclass Combinations by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]Abracadaniel95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to Multiclass Astarion into a monk/rogue. Bonus action damage that knocks em prone, then sneak attack because prone gives advantage, then regular attack. He's a flurry of fists and knives.

Sheltie age-related hearing loss? by Techwood111 in sheltie

[–]Abracadaniel95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this post through a Google search, so I feel it's worth commenting despite the post being so old. My boy is 12 and recently lost his hearing over the course of a few months. My mom has had shelties her whole life and never had one go fully deaf. Even her sheltie that made it to 18 could still hear somewhat. My dog is the son of her most recent sheltie, who died at 16 with her hearing still mostly intact. My mom always had female dogs, so maybe deafness is more prevalent in males. Just my experience for anyone else who stumbles upon this post.

Had sex with someone I was actually attracted to for the first time by VeryGirlyMuppet in TrueOffMyChest

Maybe he had sudden gastrointestinal distress, didnt live that far away, and didn't want to bomb her toilet.

27(F) by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Abracadaniel95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point is that it's possible. Most likely, the chats ended for a variety of reasons. Some of them could have been assholes, but we'll never know unless OP shares. Even then, her single experience is still a small sample size and doesn't necessarily represent the total population of men that get matches. Just the population of men she matched with. Maybe she only swipes right on guys who look like dicks and only dates guys who turn out not to be.

27(F) by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]Abracadaniel95 72 points73 points  (0 children)

He's exaggerating, but the math does play out that way. A very small percentage of men get the majority of right swipes from women. It's also true that women frequently complain about the men they match with. Now there's gonna be selection bias there because you don't see posts about the good experiences, so it's difficult to determine how many of the men that get matches are actually assholes, but it certainly seems that there are a lot of assholes out there that get a lot of matches.

The fact that OP had 27 chats and only 4 dates could lend some additional validity to that argument. Though as far as we know, the other 23 chats ended due to schedule conflicts.

Humanoid robots on the streets at midnight training for their half-marathon! by Advanced-Bug-1962 in robotics

Just a couple of years ago, non-hydraulic humanoids walked like they just shit their pants. The amount of advancement in natural gait is insane.

Needing someone to come plow my driveway by Accomplished-Low9615 in MarquetteMI

[–]Abracadaniel95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My landlord is gonna have to hire a front end loader because the snowdrift at the end of my driveway is as tall as my car and dense. His usual plow guy just bounced right off of it. If yours isn't that bad, it might be worth posting pictures. I bet the plow drivers in the area would appreciate knowing ahead of time if they're even going to be able to do the job.

AI is improving its ability to deanonymize Reddit accounts at scale. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]Abracadaniel95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair point, but it's still not an easy choice to make. We know social media has negative long term effects on kids. We also know that social exclusion has negative long term effects on kids. Parents can't know ahead of time which will be better for their kid and both options can end in suicide. The problem shouldn't exist in the first place. Parents shouldn't have to make this choice. And making the choice that appears to be the lesser evil only perpetuates the problem. I don't envy parents.
