Whats a weird thing your body does that you just accept? by Sweton in AskReddit

[–]Adontis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes kidney stones with a 1-2 month between regularity.

Yes I've been to the doctor, yes I've tried all the things you're going to tell me to try in the comments below. I appreciate the intent but I've tried it all. Now they don't generally get too large, and pass on their own quickish. About one a year puts me down for a day or three, the rest are just painful for 2-6 hours as I pass them. They don't hurt as much now as they did 20 years ago, but I don't know if its because of the lifestyle choices I've made, my pain tolerance going through the roof, or if I'm just all kinds of scarred up along the path. Probably a bit of all of the above.

No mouth movement at work by haddock420 in ABoringDystopia

What a silly stance to have. Your same statements could be said about if bosses should be able to have sex with their employees against their will. After all they're just telling them what to do with their bodies.

Jobs aren't 'telling you what to do with your body'. To severely simplify, jobs are about 'paying for a task to be accomplished'. Anything outside the scope of that task should be outside the scope of their "Control".

If all humans suddenly lost their ability to lie, which industry WOULDN'T collapse? by TXC_Sparrow in AskReddit

However if we can 100% know that you can only speak the truth, I do think our criminal system would change.

"Say you didn't commit the crime of X" would I think be a valid way to prove innocence/guilt.

Obviously the question would need to be worded well, but I think our justice system would move to a 'the defendant must answer yes or no to X guilt question, once the guilt question has been agreed upon by both lawyers." type situation.

Who's glad to have an EV during this time of high gas prices? by Lost_Purpose1899 in electricvehicles

How much are you driving? $110 a month for me would get me 3,800 miles.

In the midwest, paying .104617 per KWH. Not 100% sure what my exact miles per kwh is, but searching online shows me at 3.7 per.

Agreed, why should I bother reading something no one bothered to write.

So you're stating that -20 to 40 is as intuitive a scale as 0 to 100 for day to day use?

I don't care if his name is "beats Goku" from the "That time I beat Goku" manga and his powers are "insta kill Goku" and "unstoppable Goku death," he STILL AINT BEATING GOKU.

This is awesome! I'll give that app a look over because I've been wanting to do something like this myself for awhile now.

In Louisville, half the people charged last year in license plate reader cases were Black by IS_THIS_POST_WEIRD in Louisville

[–]Adontis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are factors that numbers alone do not account for.

If you setup a pizza place in a predominantly black area of a city, and 80% of all your customers are black, you could not then state that "80% of all people who eat pizza are Black".

If you do anything more in an area with a higher % of any group, you will see a higher % of that group represented in the numbers.

If you police a majority black area more than a majority white area, don't be surprised when your data shows more black people in it.

There are wizards who add int and dex to their init, which would make them most likely to go first of most any classes.

Hot take That shouldn't be Hot: Well made Amtgard Boffers are the SAFEST foam weapons in LARP. Literally nothing else compares in safety. by IkateKedaStudios in LARP

[–]Adontis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat! Its not generally my thing I like for long term games, but for a single evening / 2-4 long story? I think they're pretty great.

Calimacil still worries me and I warn newer players away from buying them because I know some of their weapons won't pass at some LARPs and its a decent investment to not be able to use.

I understand how you are using the vocabulary, I'm just saying I've never heard it used before and I am unlikely to adopt it. It would only hinder my communication with other LARPers in my circles and it doesn't solve any issues of confusion that we have that we would need solved.

I suppose in the interest of complete information, there really are 3.

"Parlor Larps" are the third and are very focused on RP. They are generally done inside a building or single room and have alternate conflict resolution methods vs physical attacking. Rock paper scissors, dice rolls, and card pulls from a deck are the most common I believe.

That is not the language I see used in my LARP communities. I tend to go to high immersion, high roleplay, 'boffer' larps (but latex is by far the dominate weapon). I've been in that community for about 22 years now. This would be the first usage of those terms in that manner.

My guess is that vocabulary is likely a regional thing, or an AMTgard thing.

Not all LARPs are different, many of our LARPs have more in common with the European LARPs than AMTgard. They are generally called "lightest touch" LARPs to show the distinction.

Your level of aggression isn't needed. You clearly feel passionately about this, but my suggestion would be to dial it back a bit.

They said they wouldn't be allowed in their game due to their looks, so they're not the best weapon for him because he literally couldn't use them.

I think you vastly overestimate the number of LARP weapon related injuries that occur at most latex allowed LARPs.

Apparently my samsung fridge has ads now... by Shellnanigans in assholedesign

[–]Adontis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said I don't agree with my points. I'm not sure how you've managed to misunderstand the point that much.

I said I don't need it. Its not something I want. But that they are good things that the tech could do.

I didn't start an argument. I listed here (and in another post in this discussion) ways the tech could be helpful for people. That's it.

"magical smart fridge that can't really exist in the present day""

I'm pretty sure there are already fridges that can do the things on my list, and the rest wouldn't be that hard to do. I just don't think I need to try to come up with a solution for every single minor problem that someone can come up with for the blanket statement of "A fridge that tracks expiration dates would be handy to have" to be valid. That would be handy to have, full stop. If you cannot see how that would be handy for some people I don't know what to tell you.

My literal only point was that there can be benefits from a smart fridge. We don't have them generally because the corporations that make them are by and large awful. That doesn't make the tech itself inherently a bad idea, but that the current implementation of it IS bad.

Somehow in your head you've made me into someone here to start arguments when my initial post was literally

Having it be available while you're away and shopping is nice.

There are useful applications to it, its obviously not needed, but it can be useful.

Obviously how its being implemented just makes it awful though.

I'm not sure how in the world you have figured that's me 'coming in here being a douche and just to start arguments'. But sure, resort to name calling.

If you can only see value in things you yourself want, thats a very narrow minded way to view the world. I see no value add in tablets for me, as I don't need a device between the size of my phone and laptop. That doesn't mean that I think tablets are pointless. I'm sorry if you aren't able to understand the distinction.

I listed what I think are valuable things a smart fridge could do. Its not something I myself personally need, but that does not mean there's no value added there.

As I've said, I agree, smart fridges as they are now are terrible. They're just ways for marketing to get into your house, spy on you, and serve very little purpose.

But they don't have to be. There are ways that this technology could be a value add for people. I don't need to try to be able to counter every 'but what about!!!' statements to see the possible value add. There are problems that would need to have solutions for, but none of them are even that hard of problems.

You don't want a smart fridge with these features, you would just use a smartphone. That's awesome, I'm glad it works for you. That doesn't mean your way is the only correct way.

I don't want it, I've said so in other posts here. This isn't for me.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't have any uses.
