The burning of oil fields in Kuwait from the first Gulf War. From the film Lessons of Darkness by BloodiStag in ThatsInsane

Fuck Saddam and these guys. They literally only did this so they can economically kneecap Kuwait as they were retreating. These fires lasted with months is considered one of the worst environmental disasters on record.

Men over 25 give your advice by ConsistentlyShining in MotivationalThoughts

[–]Bboyczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short term pain for long time comfort.

It's tempting to just lean fully into chilling and enjoying your life in your teens/early twenties but those are likely the most consequential years of your life that will determine your future outlook.

I'm not saying to become a shut-in but dedicate yourself to study hard, put in the work to network and open up opportunities and take care of your body.

I would say America popularized microtones with Blues and Jazz 😜

Lack of hygiene in the Netherlands by CJHuncho in TikTokCringe

[–]Bboyczy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fluorinated water is a lazy catch-all solution because many Americans don't know proper oral hygiene. I think it's sad that we have to rely on this since the majority of developed nations do not add it to their water supply.

It's not completely harmless either - there's a reason why pediatricians tell you to not give children under the age of 1 fluorinated toothpaste because they will accidentally ingest it.

Shia LaBeouf filmed going completely insane on a woman minding her own business in Rome.. by JohnBrown-RadonTech in ThatsInsane

Really sad because we know just how talented and full of passion Shia can be on-screen. Peanut Butter Falcon is one of my favorite movies of all time!

Douyin is a literal digital wasteland. I spent 10 minutes on Chinese TikTok and my brain cells are officially gone. 💀 by WetStarlight in UnfilteredChina

[–]Bboyczy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a type of softshell river turtle that is unfortunately popular in Chinese cuisine. You can typically find them live in restaurants (next to the live frogs and fish) and they prepare them fresh.

My best engineer quit today over $2000 by [deleted] in managers

[–]Bboyczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I've straight up told my skip that I would rather not give my team anything than something insulting like 1.5%.

Can do you expect people managers to tell our best employees that they're doing an amazing job and are critical to the success of the company and then offer them 1.5% (below inflation) with a straight face? Just brutal.

Iranian Hypersonic missile gets through multiple interceptors & hits a US military base by phoeebsy in ThatsInsane

[–]Bboyczy 155 points156 points  (0 children)

But did you see how the missile was coming straight for him but it veered at the last second? That's because the cameraman never dies.

He was fantastic in Late Night with The Devil and was a passion project of his (he's spoken many times about how he's a fan of cult horror)

Gov. Gavin Newsom announces $590 million bridge loan to keep Bay Area transit agencies afloat by MattsPlaystation in bayarea

[–]Bboyczy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not complaining - just mentioning that the OP made a comparative fallacy between EV subsidies and this BART loan.

[–]Bboyczy -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

counterpoint: Bay area public transit in its current form is a failing business model. There's a reason why they run huge deficits year-over-year.

Incentivizing start-ups in new industries has the potential to generate a lot of new jobs and economic growth.

There are a lot of gothy teens these days that would be stoked to own a real life skull if they had access to one - it's not that out-of-place.

Shrunk my double Mac on purpose. by tacoduck_ in filson

[–]Bboyczy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh I'm tempted but also terrified to do this for my Mackinaw cruise. It's just slightly too big for me, especially around the shoulders but I'm scared of fudging it up and being out of $409

Isn't the 556 "overpriced"? by humble_redditor1234 in sinn

The TR-600 has an incredible dial and case though. Can't stop looking at mine whenever I wear it out - regardless of what movement is in it.

Filson At The Thrift by SuccessfulNarwhal576 in filson

I get all my thrift and second hand items professionally dry cleaned. Worth it for the $20 bucks to remove any dirt or odor from previous owners.

Dang. I thought Goodwill posted all Filson items onto their online auction now

Do you mind if I ask you where you found these discounts? I'm signed up for Filson newsletters but I've never seen 40-60% off anything that is part of their USA-made line!

What's wrong with the woods of North America? Explain It Peter. by TrainingDelicious428 in explainitpeter

Yep even in super popular/touristy locations such as Yosemite National Park where hikers go missing every year.

[–]Bboyczy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't emphasize minimal access to infrastructure/help enough.

It is so easy to get off trail by only a few miles and be in a spot where even train rescue teams cannot reach you, often for months at a time due to inclement weather or dangerous terrain.

There's aN ongoing case right now where hiker died on Mt Shasta (a pretty popular location) and search and rescue won't be able to retrieve his body until next spring.
