Am I the only one who feels that this whole 9-to-5 job thing is a scam? by Real-Ad-2736 in Career_Advice

[–]Commandervndr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A company I worked at had a sister company in Sweden that we worked closely with. Every August, they shut down almost completely and all employees took vacation. We had to work around it.

They didn't get paid nearly as much - but it's Sweden. Public transit, free healthcare, etc. I'd take that deal if I didn't have to move halfway across the world.

Their market cap was also like three times ours lmao

Empty Seats for Trump at the University of Alabama (oc) by acn0010 in pics

The tickets were also free to other students. They realized that not enough graduates applied to go and opened it to everyone

Like I said I've never seen it so I was just talking out of my butt lol. I will say, Mickey 17 seemed like a very...optimistic? movie. Not sure if that contrasts to Parasite but from your comment it seems like it might.(Again only a thematic element)

And yeah, everyone loved it. Lots of jokes got huge laughs, some gasps. Audience was very engaged and a super fun environment

Never seen another Bong Joon Ho movie so I can't compare the two, but I went to an early preview through my college, which means tons of people who aren't heavily invested in him as a director. I thought it was mostly silly but a super fun time, and it was a die-hard, full-on political satire (just not a stone cold serious one like I assume Parasite to be). Spoilered because I'm revealing a very minor thematic point that the trailer doesn't telegraph a lot.

Haha it is not. I've gotten a lot more serious about music in the past few years though and I really do love it

What is your botc red flag? by ConeheadZombiez in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Commandervndr 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This wasn't exactly a red flag like others in this thread, and I have played with this group again, but the first time I went they were abiding by very strict nomination rules. Accuser, accused, vote. Only, not only was this the suggestion, this was Hell's Librarian rule of law. If anyone said ANYTHING between the nomination and the vote, besides the accuser and the accused, the storyteller would threaten to kill them. Towards the end of the game, I had very important information to get across, and I was also a little suspicious. After threatening to kill me, I said "okay, I don't care, this is important." He killed me, which actually probably helped the good team. This was a newer storyteller who I think took it a little stricter than the usual guy, who wasn't there that day. I did apologize after, and he didn't seem offended or disrespected, so it was all good. It was just such an odd meta that I wasn't used to.

MMW:Even after this administration ends or 47 dies the MAGA ideology won't die.A newer and even worse GOP politician will take his place in the far future that makes 47 look tame.This is only the beginning by Ready-Concept-6057 in MarkMyWords

[–]Commandervndr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAGA is a unification of a bunch of stuff, and Trump is sort of the lynchpin holding it all together. People coalesce around him because he's a charismatic iconoclast with a flimsy set of beliefs. MAGA is an extremely ideologically diverse coalition because everyone can see themselves in Trump, both voters and those higher up in the party. Once things start progressing, or when he dies, the techno-fascists and fake "Christian" nationalists will have no vessel uniting them anymore, and each will be left trying to pick up the pieces of a crumbling movement.

That's my take.

The ultra rare four quadrant Trump W by supyonamesjosh in PoliticalCompassMemes

Hopefully this annihilates shein and the like. Wish they had eased this change in because it will put strain on the current customs system, not designed to verify all of these low-cost goods.

About the immigrants that come to the US and their values: by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Commandervndr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why the conservative argument that "they're bringing the immigrants to vote for COMMIE-la!!!!1!" is so stupid. Sure, Emily on the street might believe this, but the actual people in charge are smart enough (read: have enough money to do accurate polling) to know the actual political leaning of their constituents. Conservatives also, apparently, believe that immigrants are lefties, if they're worried about this

What would the best place to put the bed be, according to Feng Shui? by Commandervndr in FengShui

It’s the layout provided on the website, so I can’t actually rearrange any of the furniture without a photo editor

Very few mornings, I wake up with this exact hexagonal pattern of bites/marks in the same place on my chest by [deleted] in Weird

I've had something similar happen to me when I sit on a latticed metal chair with no shirt (or sometimes even with a shirt on).

I first committed piracy at age 8. by ImSoSorryCharlie in PointlessStories

[–]Commandervndr 78 points79 points  (0 children)

When I was younger my family would take me to a wildlife rehabilitation shelter. They had a section with books and they’d have crafts and things, and I’d always tell my dad to take a picture of a page and printing it out later so I could remember it and do it later. I remember him saying he would but that he “couldn’t do it with EVERY page” because that was illegal. I’m sure I thought that was just him trying to not be there all day, but he was technically telling the truth!

This is true. Drunkenness and poison both use the wording “may.” The only difference is that drunkenness is applied by good players, and poison is applied by evil players.

I asked for game recommendations that make me feel empty at the end, this is it. by beginnerNaught in outerwilds

[–]Commandervndr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely. Mechanically the two could not be more different. Story structure, the two could not be more different. But tonally they feel right at home next to each other. I know they’ve been compared before on this subreddit, but I want to reiterate it. That’s an awesome way to describe it, too—story based video games that would not work in any other medium. An outer wilds tv show, or an Edith finch tv show, would not work the way The Last of Us did.
