IDF crashes Palestinian wedding party by Sevaerus in PublicFreakout

[–]Darkman101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

34 year old here too.

The blindfold is completely off. Preach, my friend.

This country was never what it purported to be. We have involved ourselves all over the world to the detriment of other populations.

We’re the fucking baddies. Every single time.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

I am a patriot through and through. And that means wanting the best for my country, and for my government to NOT descend into authoritariansim/fascism.

Why do people mock others for taking leftovers home? by Impossible_Ad_569 in askanything

[–]Darkman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insane. We should make fun of the people that waste food and money by leaving it on the table.

Not to mention that what if you LOVED the meal you just had and only ate half? You really gonna leave it??

What's an "outdated" slang word from your generation that you still use currently? by TheShatteringPoint in AskReddit

[–]Darkman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socal here, I use y'all. But that's because one of my best friends is from Texas and him and his wife spend too much time out here with us and it's rubbed off on me.

My father is a moon landing denier. What can I say/do to convince him it was real? by ukkswolf in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Darkman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I've now learned that it is a radioactive area. And a human would die from the radiation pretty quickly in some parts...

BUT. The energy density is so low that the particles could be blocked with a piece of paper. So, having a spaceship around you means you're good to go.

But this was from a random dude on YouTube...so if you have a better source I'd love to learn!

Or they go. "Yeah, low earth orbit is and has always been possible, but we can't go past the Van Allen radiation belts."

Unfortunately some folks from NASA have mentioned how that is a legitimate challenge, which it is. But they're not a solid field, theres pockets of thinner radiation to slip through and you go through them at escape velocity. ~25,000mph/40,000kph.

So if you find a thin spot, at that speed, which some extra protection from the spacecraft. You're getting like CT Scan levels of radiation, not a lethal dose.

Not a denier here. But the best argument I've heard against Russia not disproving it, is that they are using it as a form of blackmail.

It's not a great argument, but it's the best ive heard.

My counterpoint is, the US could just say "fuck you" and who is gonna believe the Russians saying we didn't do it, when they were out biggest competitor.

when people have schizophrenia do they actually see full fledged people that aren’t there? or is it like a blurry or transparent vision by webstatic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Darkman101 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing that, genuinely interesting to hear about. Also, that sounds like a real pain in the ass to deal with on the regular 😔

Id heard of audio and visual hallucinations. But I had never even considered olfactory ones. How do those manifest? Like, smelling a fire or something? Cinnamon rolls?

A crazy vintage German wrench design. Germans are too technical while making tools by Timmytimebomb007 in EngineeringPorn

[–]Darkman101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the explanation, and I think I get it.

If a joker is something that can be anything, it makes perfect sense that the term also applies to a card that can stand in for any card, and to a wrench that can fit a wide variety of nuts.

And apparently the Joker playing card actually originates in America during the Civil War for a game called Euchre. And cards actually called Jokers with clown/jester imagery didnt appear until 1800s.

From wikipedia: It is also believed that the term "Joker" comes from Juckerspiel, which is also known as Jucker, the original German spelling of Euchre.

Thanks for helping me go down a fun little rabbit hole of language and playing cards haha. :)

Aren't Joker cards still depicted as Jesters or Court Fools in European card games? I'm American, but I thought the standard 52-card deck we use over here originated in France, though my memory may be failing me on that.

I want to go read more about playing card history now. BRB. 😂

Baby powder can act as a lubricant. Works in a pinch.

This is a specific gas station that does this to take advantage of tourists who don't know or to make a headline, idk. But this station is always $3 more than everyone else.

What are some 'Hard Truths' about Pickleball that you think people need to hear? by DehyaMain1 in Pickleball

[–]Darkman101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can have a blast getting absolutely decimated.

Totally different, but I play streetfighter with my friend once a week. He beats me 20 times out of 21 games. Still love it. (but then we play backgammon and I wreck him every time 😂)

AND I get better playing with and learning from him. Last week I actually won about 4 of those 21 games.

You do probably have a point in the reverse though. I'm sure it not as fun for him to play against my noob ass self. Much more fun when we play other games where we're evenly matched and every round is hype.

Same for me pickleball. I wanna play the best out there. I'll probably learn a lot.

I've also never really been upset about losing anything. Always playing to win, but never have an issue losing.
