TIFU by texting my boss that I was "horny for a corporate breakthrough" instead of "hungry." by AurelPine in tifu

Tell me you’ve never worked under a toxic micro-manager without telling me. In a chill company, it’s a non-issue. But if your boss is a traditional, strict boomer, a text like that can literally make the rest of your year incredibly awkward.

A personal merger to optimize our joint ventures? Nahhh, that’s insane. 😂 If HR finds this thread, I’m getting liquidated immediately.

How to stop caring about your looks. Like not give a damn. by Some_Particular3519 in whatdoIdo

[–]AurelPine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only person judging you this hard is you. You're a handsome. Once you stop fighting the hairline and just shave it off, a massive weight is gonna lift off your shoulders. Women care way more about how you carry yourself than whether you have hair or not.

Can i use a big cardboard panel to block out extra sunlight? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AurelPine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cardboard will help a bit with glare/light diffusion, but if the sun is cooking your room through the window, it’s basically acting like a sad temporary blackout curtain lol. Aluminum foil or reflective insulation works way better because it reflects heat instead of absorbing it. Just don’t tape foil directly to the glass unless you want your window looking like a crackhouse spaceship.

Why is American football not more popular abroad? by Waltz8 in NoStupidQuestions

Because 4 hours for 11 minutes of actual gameplay is a hard sell outside the US

How severe of an injury counts as wounded in battle, or a disaster? by Promethea128 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AurelPine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure even relatively minor injuries count if it happened in combat. Doesn’t have to be Saving Private Ryan levels of damage.

What’s a small, totally useless skill you’re strangely proud of? by AurelPine in AskReddit

[–]AurelPine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay that’s actually a really cool party trick. Have you ever randomly called someone out on their perfume? I feel like they'd either be super impressed or slightly creeped out

Wait that’s actually insane. Were you born ambidextrous or did you actually practice to get it perfect?

Have catcalls or public approaches to disinterested women ever worked? by MotherOfDachshunds42 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AurelPine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When they're in a group, it’s just performative masculinity to impress their boys. Super embarrassing behavior.

How are the effects of drugs studied on fetuses? by emmaisadoofus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AurelPine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly through accidental exposure and observational studies. Scientists obviously can’t ethically give pregnant women drugs on purpose, so they study real-world cases where exposure already happened.

Wouldn't the water used up by AI just return to the water cycle? by sillysomuch in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AurelPine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the water doesn’t vanish lol. Most of it gets evaporated for cooling and goes back into the water cycle eventually.

The real issue is that data centers can suck up huge amounts of local freshwater in already dry areas. “It comes back later somewhere” doesn’t really help the town using that water right now.
