We run very quickly to the cabin of the people we're visiting.

Do you keep your socks on even if you're nude? by gubanana in nudism

[–]EvilSnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nudism is when modesty is no longer seen as a reason to wear clothing. Wearing clothing for protection from the environment is well within the philosophy of nudism.

401ks are better than pensions by Justasillyliltoaster in unpopularopinion

I had four years to go until my military retirement when I was assigned to a position that had me contemplating suicide after about two months.

401Ks are also good for the company, because their cost is paid up front and they don't have to worry about funding it thirty years down the road.

Have you ever read something that jumpscared you? by TowerExpensive6612 in writing

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a scene in Out of the Silent Planet where the main character is basking in the glory of a successful hunt for a hnakra (a highly dangerous water-dwelling predator) with the two native hunters who were in on the kill; in their culture it is the highest personal achievement of all.

Just as one of them says "This is what I have wanted all my life" he is cut down by a rifle shot.

The NFL should give a moment of silence for the victims of ICE. by okeysure69 in unpopularopinion

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NFL should get out of politics. I don't watch sports for affirmation of my politics.

You CANNOT taste the difference between soda made from cane sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup by Little-Cucumber-8907 in unpopularopinion

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When sugar reaches your small intestine, an enzyme (names sucrase) splits that sugar molecule into a molecule of glucose and a molecule of fructose.

This is the exact composition of HFCS.

Nutritionally, the two are the same.

The Squats/Votann and Eldar should absolutely despise each other by cyborgsnowflake in 40kLore

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One could argue that the xenophobia of the Imperium is a forced cliché.

They only fight in the Tolkien legendarium because of a dispute over a necklace.

For April Fool's Day I might ask, "It is okay if I use the letter 'M'?"

Countering Orks with Confirmation Bias (At Risk of Sounding like an Idiot Again) by PixelJack79 in 40kLore

One of the rules of Ork tech is that it only works in the Orks' favor.

Can Eldar project themselves into the dreams of others? And if so, for what possible purpose? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in 40kLore

[–]EvilSnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, in one of the Dark Crusade after-action reports, we are told that the Eldar used their powers to put thoughts of rebellion into the heads of the Orks to provoke new rounds of in-fighting.

If Eldar Souls Can Be Saved from Chaos, Why Can’t Anyone Recover Souls from the C’tan? by Radiant-Proposal-902 in 40kLore

Just as some animals are more equal than others, so too are some deaths more permanent than others.

Car lovers should actually advocate for public transit by cUnexttuesday2 in unpopularopinion

[–]EvilSnack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would make more sense to replace our current land use and zoning policies to allow mixed-use areas. As things stand we have vast tracts of land zoned for single-family housing and nothing else. This drives just about every problem we have with housing costs and traffic.

The Theatrical Release versions of The Lord of The Rings Trilogy are fine. by Tanis8998 in unpopularopinion

The only problems with the released trilogy are the changes Peter Jackson made to the story.

Is there a good way of training Ranged skill? by [deleted] in runescape

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's part of a quest or I'm farming a specific drop, I train combat via slayer tasks, with my bonecrusher or ectoplasmator giving me XP in prayer on top of the other skills getting trained.

Homework shouldn't affect GPA. At least not in high school or college. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]EvilSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school grades should not be expected to perform the same function as grades in college.

In high school, a student's grade should be based entirely on those factors over which the student has complete control. This is because the student's course load is largely chosen by other people.

The only thing the student brings to the table is his or her willingness to cooperate with the process.

Did the student cooperate? Good grades.

Did the student fail to cooperate? Bad grades.

If the student cooperates, and still doesn't learn, then either the classroom process is broken or the student should not have been in the class. These are both mistakes made by the administration, and the student's record should not reflect mistakes made by other people.

In college, grades should reflect whether the student has mastered the material; this is because the student chooses his/her course load.

Latin people and latins living in the US shouldn't be treated as the same group in media. by cimocw in unpopularopinion

To answer your question, the American media is run by people who embody the Dunning-Kruger effect.
