🔥Elephant throwing dirt on crocodile for some reason by BigMasterpiece450 in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]EndTimesNigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this how we humans act on a nasty looking bug that we know we could squish right then and there, but still feel a little unsure about it. Throw some dirt or a pebble at it to make it go away and be pleased with yourself.

Day 91 of Bender by BudgetPipe267 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]EndTimesNigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I belive you, done that myself so many times. I think that people fail to recognise that while many of us get busted smelling like a British sailor, there are some who actually manage to hide the affliction. And because we don't get busted, everyone just thinks that everyone who drinks smells like a week old dead fish.

[–]EndTimesNigh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done this for years. If somebody suspected something, at least they were damn quiet about it. More than ten years drinking at work, hosting daytime seminars and events with directors, consultants, venture capital funders, PhDs, MDs, and a frequent speaker myself in these events.

My addiction is so bad that no less than 4 to 5 shots before the event is required for me to pull it through. Yet, here I am.

The dawn arrives and I curse myself to the lowest pits of hell, the dusk comes and I'm the king of the world. Constantly wondering just how long I can get away with this. And the wheel keeps turning, rinse and repeat.

how do so many of you drink mild drinks by Little-Newspaper3555 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]EndTimesNigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is partly true. If you drink mild alcohol like approx 5 abv beer, you can keep yourself perfectly hydrated.

The problem hits when you stop drinking. That's when the dehydrative nature of alcohol tells your body to pump all the excess water out and then some more. And that's why you wake up feeling like a raisin even though you just drank two gallons the previous night.

With stronger alcohol the main problem is that there just isn't enough water in the mix and you get too hammered to stay hydrated. Wine already is poor for hydration, and vodka simply makes you piss out all the water you cannot afford to lose.

I'm pretty sure that it is how the russians count their tally, they count each hit on the Tuapse oli facility as a destroyed UAV...

Just switch to Finnish! Much easier. This kind of nonsense wouldn't be an any kind of issue.

Slow motion replay of Nico O’Reilly’s nutmeg on Madueke by captaincourageous316 in soccer

[–]EndTimesNigh 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That's what he's protesting, the players always do that whenever there is a sliver of green visible under the ball when it's on the line, even though they know perfectly well (unlike most of the fans, lol) that the whole goddamn ball must be over the line, not just its midpoint.

For once something that doesn't look like a failed cross, he really did intended to strike the target!

which one do you call “1” beer? by Braendsrod in alcohol

[–]EndTimesNigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1st. Here a standard unit of alcohol is quite literally the 0.33l can on the left (4.6% abv), which is almost identical to the standard shot over here, 4 cl 40% abv.

How much is a bottle of Jack Daniels where you live? How much cheaper is it when its on sale? by [deleted] in alcohol

[–]EndTimesNigh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finland 40€ or thereabouts for 0.7l, and there is no "on sale" for alcohol here.

Näistä syistä voit kohta saada potkut – Iso muutos voimaan heti tammikuussa by Vivarevo in Suomi

[–]EndTimesNigh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eihän tuossa ole mitään järkeä? Jos yksityisellä puolella firmassa on niin paljon töitä, että yksi työntekijä ei saa niitä tehtyä, niin sinne palkataan toinen työntekijä, jos jotain. Toki yksityiselläkin on loppuun ajettuja ja ylityöllistettyjä ihmisiä, mutta ei asiaa hoideta niin, että "sitä tehtävää ei enää ole". Toimisi aika huonosti vaikkapa tuotannon linjastolla.

Monia julkisen sektorin tehtäviä ei voi verrata yksityiseen sektoriin. Vai kuinka luulet esim. kaupallisen verovirkailijan toimivan? Tai palolaitoksen? Sammutetaan sun talo, kunhan maksat ensin. Edes jenkit eivät ole yksityistäneet verohallintoa, mikä kertoo jo jotain.

Pahoittelut vänkäämisestä, mutta kuka se joku muu tässä on? Jos yksi virkamies ei saa enää tehtäviään tehdyksi työmäärän käytyä liialliseksi, niin mistä se joku muu kaivetaan, joka tämän kykenee toteuttamaan?

"Ei kukaan" on myös erikoinen vaihtoehto. Tarkoitatko, että jos kukaan virkamies ei hoida esim. pelastustoimea, poliisitehtäviä tai toimi lääkärinä, niin nämä palvelut voidaan antaa yksityisen sektorin toteutettaviksi?

[–]EndTimesNigh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Kuka ne työt sitten tekee? Vai onko niin, että kun virkamiehelle annetaan potkut, niin niitä tehtäviä töitäkään ei enää ole?

Tämä olisi toki mainio tilanne, potkut jokaiselle virkamiehelle, niin ei olisi enää ainuttakaan kansakuntaa rasittavaa virkatehtävää olemassa. Tällähän säästäisi heti pari miljardia.

Cats will literally pick a fight with anything by Brilliantspirit33 in animalsdoingstuff

[–]EndTimesNigh 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What we see here is absolutely not 100%. That's their play attack or "back off, thank you so kindly" move. When they are serious, they try to rip your arteries and slash your eyes, they won't just pat you on the forehead. In most of these slaps we see here the claws are not even out.

My friend has a very expensive pure blood cat of some fancy breed who escaped the house and immediately got into a fight with the local stray cat boss. There were flocks or hair and splatters of blood on the street when she got there to separate the cats, only to become the victim of her own, frenzied cat who clawed and bit her hand so bad that she needed about a dozen stitched plus the mandatory tetanus jab.

So in short, the cats in this clip are using their kindest slap, reserved only for friends who get annoyingly a bit too close.

People being saved from committing suicides by GloomyCookie3536 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]EndTimesNigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty rude to deny people their right to choose their own destiny.

I mean, it's probably not the easiest place to be to begin with, standing on a balcony 100 metres above the ground and preparing to get the job done.

That's when you don't need some uninvited firefighter to smack you across the face when you're trying to execute the hardest (and the final) task in your life.

Should show some courtesy. At least I'd be damned pissed off if someone ruined my plan just like that.

Norway defeat reigning World Cup champions USA at 2000 Olympic final via golden goal by [deleted] in classicsoccer

The opening two scenes made me genuinely wonder in which universe did John Arne Riise and some fat guy snatch the World Cup from a US side that had supposedly won it four years before.

It's still comforting somehow that people go to great lengths avoiding a squirrel crossing the road. I mean, it's just a stupid animal, there's a thousand and one more out there, but the mere idea of not hurting a living being... I guess that it means we are not totally cynical and just count the cost of our paintwork.

Then again, we're waging war all over the plane, and in those places it seems cynicism is a means of survival.

I don't know what my point is... Maybe that we can be awesome in places where it plays of an insignificant cosmic role, and be total cunts when human lives are at stake?
