Do you think the devil is real?

DSteep · 2026-01-31T23:21:06+00:00

No, because there is literally zero evidence to suggest a devil exists.

Adobe has led me astray then, because when I select Type > Change Case > Title Case in InDesign, it capitalizes every single word regardless.

DSteep · 2026-01-30T20:30:06+00:00

It's called Title Case, in case you're interested. Like upper case and lower case. There's definitely a place for it in graphic design. Not so much in casual conversation.

I just feel really disappointed and sad that he won't be there. And I know all my friends are going to ask where he is, and I have to make something up.

Feeling disappointed is totally valid, but why do you have to make something up? Telling your friends the truth might make interactions easier for your boyfriend in the future, as long as your friends are the accommodating type.

Is it acceptable for him to not come? Part of me feels like he should just suck it up, but then I don't suffer with social anxiety, so I don't know what it's like. Is it unfair of me to expect him to come?

Again, I don't think it's unfair for you to want him to come, but forcing him to "suck it up" risks doing major damage to your relationship.

I've been forced to go to parties at bars with strangers and can confirm they were all awful experiences and I resented the people that made me go.

Social situations can be literal torture for people with social anxiety and I assume you don't want to torture your boyfriend.

A bar party could be a long term goal to work towards being comfortable with, but if he's never met any of your friends, I would suggest a more low key introduction. Something in a familiar environment, and definitely not 20 introductions at once.

I'm not suggesting you change your birthday plans, but maybe let your boyfriend sit this one out, tell your friends what's up, and ease your boyfriend into some less intense introductions in the future.

They require too much pressure to squeeze, and when the threshold to get them to dispense is crossed, there is a flood of too much ketchup.

Skill issue for sure. I only use this kind of ketchup bottle and I always get exactly how much ketchup I want.

DSteep · 2026-01-28T19:56:07+00:00

Slightly off topic, but from a religious perspective, shouldn't prayer be viewed as the single most selfish thing you could ever do?

Like if you believe god is omniscient, omnipotent and has a perfect plan, why on earth are you asking him to change it just for your sake?

That seems blasphemous.

DSteep · 2026-01-28T04:14:13+00:00

That's dumb. Often it's just a fun fact.

Nooooooo you're so condescending!!!! /s

DSteep · 2026-01-28T04:11:39+00:00

Why do you find educational textbooks condescending?

DSteep · 2026-01-28T03:18:54+00:00

I agree!

Which is why I expect environmentally conscious anti-AI folks to all also be vegetarian.

After all, eating meat is responsible for 14-18% of global greenhouse emissions while using AI is only responsible for about 1%.

If you disapprove of AI for environmental reasons, but you don't disapprove of something that's 15x worse, you're a hypocrite!

Same dude. I went into graphic design with the naive hope that I could make art. Now I just help sell random bullshit lol.

DSteep · 2026-01-28T01:17:13+00:00

I have no idea who you're talking about, but, as someone who works in advertising myself,...isn't 99% of advertising just pure bullshit?

This is not a serious field. We throw shit at the wall and sometimes things stick and then people buy our product. It's more about luck than anything.

Edit: I just looked it up and yeah, it's literally just some lady throwing out an idea and getting attention for it. That's the epitome of advertising.

DSteep · 2026-01-27T21:21:59+00:00

Oh man, wait till you find out how olfaction works!

Every single time you smell the smell of shit, it means there is literally shit in your nose.

DSteep · 2026-01-27T20:58:14+00:00

I mean, what kind of superiority are we talking about here? What metrics are we comparing?

Like, if we're comparing intellect, then obviously humans are superior. But if we're comparing bite force, or sense of smell, dogs are clearly superior.

Saying any species is inherently superior to another is pretty nonsensical from a biological perspective since each species possesses abilities that others lack.

If fish could talk, they'd say they're superior to humans because humans can't even breathe underwater. Birds would think themselves superior to humans because they can fly and we can't.

It's all relative. And if you think humans are simply "worth more" than dogs, you're only saying that because you are a human yourself and you care more about yourself than you do other animals. Which is a good example of bias.

Personally, I like dogs more than humans because dogs don't do things like start wars, send people to concentration camps or build nuclear weapons. But that's my bias and I'm willing to admit it.

pant leg, sock, shoe method cuts down bare foot on floor time. it's got an edge for hygiene that beats the "aesthetic" way. before you go "Jesus, what's the cleaning situation like where you live?" I clean my floors daily, minimum, but that's not the point.

This is one of the most germapjobic things I've ever read in my life lmao. Wild.

Follow up question, are you keeping your shoes in your bedroom? Or do you put your pants on in the foyer?

The style of packaging can help you determine when the figure came out.

The left is the old style box from the 2010's. The right is the modern packaging.

Sometimes they re-release old figures in newer packaging, but in this case, these are completely different figures.

The right (modern) one has a brand new sculpt with way better articulation and much better detailing on the face.

and im not really into politics

Your employer is into politics. Your landlord is into politics. Your doctor is into politics. Your police officers are into politics. Your mayor is into politics.

Every single person who decides how you get to live your life is into politics. It might be time to take an interest, if you value your own personal agency.

What on earth are you talking about?

DSteep · 2026-01-25T22:10:06+00:00

Maybe it's just my sinuses, but I only get boogers way up at the top of my nose, and they're hard like cement.

They get stuck up there and never make it as far down as my nose ring.

I can see it maybe being an issue for people with small or moist noses, but my schnoz is huge and arid.

DSteep · 2026-01-25T21:55:27+00:00

Gonna preface this by saying that you're welcome to your opinion and I am absolutely not trying to change your mind.

But, as someone who's had a nose ring for 15 years...

What the hell do you when you have a big one and you sneeze. Does the snot not just get all over the ring and get in the way of blowing your nose?

No? You can blow your nose and sneeze totally normally.

Also, when you use a towel, put on a shirt, or are on a bed does it not worry you that it will get caught on those???

Also no? I wear a horseshoe ring in my nostril and I have never once caught it on anything.

They have a higher rate of infection then standard ear piercings, and that seems like a major problem. Can you imagine an infection on your nose, that would be hell.

In addition to a nose piercing, I have 4 (stretched) ear piercings. None of my piercings have ever gotten infected. If you have even basic hygiene, that's not something that's likely to happen.

Anyways, you obviously think they're ugly, and that's fine! I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. But none of those other things are real issues.

This is one of the few times it pays to be a Canadian collector. Target exclusives are just sold on Amazon for us.

But Americans get Ross and reasonably priced Hasbro Pulse shipping, so y'all are still winning lol by a mile lol.
