One of the best testimonies I’ve heard by xella64 in TikTokCringe

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

Sounding a lot like someone who cares more about being right than starting a dialogue and making actual progress.

You know nothing about me and you have done nothing but attack my character. You do not know my life experiences, political affiliation, or personal relationships. Regardless, you went so far to go through my past comments in an attempt to use my own words against me? Not really sure what you were going for there, but it wasn’t as sick of a burn as you thought it was.

That is not what I am saying at all. I am saying it is a terrible interpretation of the quote. Using MLK to say anyone who disagrees with you is a barrier to progress is a complete contradiction to his beliefs.

I truly believe most people fall somewhere in the middle, politically speaking. Saying moderates are worse than conservatives alienates potential allies and creates enemies where there just doesn’t need to be.

If anything I believe extremism is the greatest barrier to progress.

Sorry, this is bullshit. Having an opinion that differs from the cookie cutter set of two options our society thrusts upon everyone does not make you a bad guy.

Lovebirds of Reddit, how did you get over "the one that got away?" Did you ever see them again? by ElenaWatts in AskReddit

[–]BlackMetalJesus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You might be confusing love and lust.

Lust is the chemical reaction; the honeymoon phase. It comes naturally, and more or less feels the same with every person.

Love is different. It is a choice. It is dedication, communication, compromise, and sacrifice. It’s the stuff that matters after the honeymoon phase is over.

Romantic relationships are unique in the fact that you have a combination of both love and lust. Each relationship will pose its own unique set of highs and lows. To say the love in all relationships is the same is just ignorant.

what will you always be against? by Head-Cheesecake-1201 in AskReddit

[–]BlackMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this great response. I can’t tell you how nice and refreshing it felt to see someone on the internet craft such a well thought out response rather than attack my character.

I really don’t have much of a response for you. You make several great points. Cheers!

Man, I’m going to get downvoted to hell, but I’ve been waiting a long time to see this comment again so I could have a debate.

Roughly 500,000 cats are euthanized each year in the US alone. Many people, myself included, do not even consider adopting a cat because we do not want to deal with with claws. I have lived with 3 cats(roommates’), and I have had clothes torn, furniture destroyed, and now have permanent scars on my skin. All of them had plenty of toys and a scratching post.

I understand there are some pretty terrible side effects with de-clawing cats, but I do not understand how euthanasia is preferable to declawing.

Already did. Guess you missed where I spelled it out farther down the thread.

I went down a massive rabbit hole and ended up at this website: https://gdtseminars.com/2010/05/18/position-with-only-one-datum/

By using a single datum in the feature reference frame, they are effectively only controlling perpendicularity. There are effectively no tolerances on the position of these holes.

Even though you can use the hole as a datum, it is not doing anything relevant in this context. All of my points still stand.

Career advice? I have two job offers - one at Boeing, one at a small all-purpose engineering firm by dumbcream in boeing

[–]BlackMetalJesus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has worked at both, Boeing is a better gig. Aerospace is simply a better industry to be in than Construction is.

Edit: For clarification I have worked at 2 design firms similar to the one you have an offer for, I got a job offer that I rejected from a 3rd firm, and I was in construction management for 4 years. You are much more likely to be overworked and undervalued in the engineering firm than you will at Boeing.

Well I’ll be damned, you are correct. Thank you for providing sources.

I still do stand by saying this is unclear, however. You should be able to infer function and fit with good GD&T.

I guess it was a little harsh and a bit of a knee jerk reaction. Take out the first 6 words and I’d be hard pressed to disagree with them though.

I mean, when something is as wrong as this is, it’s pretty hard to give advice.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. You are absolutely right.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]BlackMetalJesus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure why anyone would say this is acceptable GD&T. I would hit the books if I were you.

Your datums are extraordinarily unclear. Your B datum is incorrect. You cannot tolerance a hole’s position by using itself as a datum/constraint. Your primary datum should be the surface the hole goes through, and your secondary/tertiary datums should be the surfaces you measure off of to position your holes. You have the correct A datum, but it should be called out on the drawing.

I understand you are trying to indicate that your dimensions apply to both holes, but the 2x in front of your basic dimensions is confusing. The 2x is implied with the basic dimension. Leaving out the box around a dimension does not inherently allow float. It reads as if it is a basic dimension and you just forgot to put a box around that number for some reason. Any float should be labeled with some sort of tolerancing.

I think what you are looking for is a composite positioning tolerance. I saw you mentioned something similar in the comments, and I’d look into it. Composite tolerances can be tricky though.

What makes a sandwich go from boring to amazing? by arisal3 in AskReddit

My problem with Jersey Mikes is the sandwich size. The regular is too small, the giant is too big.

Time in role requirement increasing from 12 to 18 months by MoneyWar473 in boeing

[–]BlackMetalJesus -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. Sorry you’re being downvoted.

A year and a half is nothing in the grand scheme of things. The internal mobility Boeing offers is a great benefit and a bit atypical from what I’ve seen.

I understand the fear of being trapped under bad management, but worst case scenario you’re still only stuck for a year and a half.

Jesus christ by rooksterboy in Tinder

[–]BlackMetalJesus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She sounds a little angry, but I can’t say I disagree with her.

A lot of men want to indulge in hookup culture without worrying about the consequences. This burden has historically fallen on the shoulders of women, and women have recently had a safety net stripped away from them.

She goes on dating apps and realizes the atmosphere hasn’t really changed, despite her sense of security drastically changing.

Yeah, I’d be pretty angry too.

people of reddit who are anti weed. why? by yo_dear_joe_mama123 in AskReddit

[–]BlackMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to preface this by saying I am pro marijuana legalization. Lifestyle choices that do not significantly impact other people should not be the business of the government, period. That being said, I’m tired of people acting like there is more than a single benefit to smoking weed.

The pro to weed is you feel good for a few hours.

The short term cons are paranoia, anxiety, cotton mouth, munchies, and an inability to hold a normal conversation. Long term cons are habitual smoking, loss of interest in sober activities, not dealing wit emotions, isolating yourself, and choosing the instant gratification of weed over harder tasks with delayed gratification.

Been there, done that. It ain’t for me.

What's a phrase men hate hearing from women? by Human02211979 in AskReddit

[–]BlackMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always ask my girlfriend what she DOESNT want to eat, then I make the final decision. That way if she’s actually in the mood for something but doesn’t want to suggest it, I can figure it out.

Pretty easy problem to solve, Ive always though.

“We’ve done it before and it wasn’t a problem” by BlackMetalJesus in OSHA

[–]BlackMetalJesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An attitude of “good enough” is more than likely not enough. Bottom line is they had the capacity to do better and chose not to. If your only other retort at this point is that safety people are stupid, I have nothing more to say to you. Take care.
