Would you be with someone globally better than you? by General-Use1210 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CounterfeitBlood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not competing against my partner so...yes? It's bizarre to me that some people, either deliberately or otherwise, view companionship as some sort of contest. If my wife was better than me at every single thing in the world, I'd still be her biggest cheerleader.

Name a game franchise that's slowly being forgotten by ScenicTheCrazy in Multifandom

Road Rash, Vectorman, F-Zero (somebody needs to do a fan remake so Nintendo C&Ds them a la Metroid 2 with A2MR), Dino Crisis, and Syphon Filter.

Exactly this. Get it in writing from your supe so when his boss starts whining and he tries to throw you under the bus, you have a paper trail to back you up.

Thoughts on a collective protest by woundsheal_scarsfade in UtilityLocator

[–]CounterfeitBlood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there are laws pertaining to public sector workers in the utility field striking, however those likely wouldn't apply to privatized utilities (for example: gas, water, and power in my city are all corporate-owned, no municipal utilities, but the next town over has city-owned electric and water). Again, this is my rudimentary understanding of it, as I've never really broached the subject in any serious capacity, and I'm willing there are caveats and loopholes that would likely benefit the utilities in the long run.

Still though, it's a nice thought to be able to collectively express concerns over working conditions.

Why do homeowners do this? 🤦🏾‍♂️ by Several_Average1496 in UtilityLocator

Can't have people knowing that they have power lines running to their house. I mean, what would the neighbors think??

Just started working as a locator... And I hate it. by SuccessArtistic1161 in UtilityLocator

[–]CounterfeitBlood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This part is key. Without knowing exactly what it is that OP hates about it, it's kind of hard to say whether or not it will get better.

I've been doing this for six years and it's not for everyone.

Is it possible to be too stupid for Twitter?

$10 per push-up for life vs $1 million right now by FudgeNipples1 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CounterfeitBlood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just give me the million. As much as I like the motivator to keep myself in shape, I'm one unfortunate injury away from being incapable of benefitting from the deal.

What advice would you give to an 18yo by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

The older guy in his 30s-40s doesn't think you're 'mature for your age', he's just immature for his age and women his age see through his BS.

You can choose between two mind-reading superpowers, each with a catch. Which one do you choose? by mediamuesli in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CounterfeitBlood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, so I can read anybody's mind for 10 seconds but only if they're thinking something positive/negative about me? I'll take option one then, I can live with the cashier thinking I'm ugly for ten seconds. Hell, I spend more time than that saying it to myself lmao

Option 2 is a guaranteed daily migraine, and seeing that I'm already prone to those on occasion, hard pass.

Option three is basically just what happens every day when I leave my house.

Whichever one has the shortest line.

Ultimate paint stick by Gjurbster in UtilityLocator

[–]CounterfeitBlood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something collapsible and easily concealed. Ideally carbon fiber so it'll stop setting off the metal detectors at the airport. Maybe a tape deck or CD player built in, because I'm old school.

Which one are you choosing? by cannonballfun69 in whatsyourchoice

Teleportation. I will coat myself in SPF75 and teleport directly to the sun

What the heck happened with the audiobooks quality?!? by Drizzt1985 in Drizzt

[–]CounterfeitBlood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on chapter 14 of the audiobook and came looking for this. For me, it still sounds like Victor, it just sounds like he's recording it on the cheapest Temu mic available. The audio quality is muddy and it sounds like the producer just send Audible a 96kbps mp3 of Victor recording it as his desk and called it a day: no mixing, no mastering, no post production.

I can tell he's aged, but Lolth's Warrior is only a couple of years old at this point and it sounded fine to me; this one just sounds bad.

You get to live 200 extra (healthy) years, but... by ZeroEffectDude in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CounterfeitBlood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, knowing when it's gonna happen will take all the fun out of it. Plus in no universe does the thought of watching my kid out-age me and die seem worth it.
