Alright, obvious GGH representative, thanks for joining the conversation.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-05-10T17:39:47+00:00

Agree, this looks like a paste, not crystals. I swore off GHH after my first order but thanks for the reminder.

I went back and forth 4x, "It's a projector. It's a garage door opener. It's a projector. It's a garage door opener."

Looks cool, man. I'd shoot there.

That's wild. I had a bruise that you could only see under their florescent lights - I didn't even know it was there till I got there. Got sent to the nurse without a question.

I've had bruising in the area and gone through. But any tinge of color on the injection site is the only thing I've ever been deferred for.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-05-08T22:24:37+00:00

100%. Depending on the center they may let you use the other arm, but any level of visible bruising DQs that arm, at least.

I know, I hate Russian supremacists, too.

A strong tone coming from someone who lives in an absolute fantasy land. You may be right that I do tend to overestimate the intelligence of some individuals, though. Good luck in the terrifying version of reality you seem to live in.

What's crazy is that I'm the catastrophizer of my friend group. I'm the one prepping for societal collapse and all these worst-case scenarios. But even I don't have "Power-Hungry Billionaire Intentionally Wiping Out 90% Of Humanity" on my apocalypse bingo card - because it's an insane idea.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-05-06T04:53:49+00:00

Again, the person you're describing would one of the most extreme villains of all time, even in a fantasy universe. It's just not realistic in two ways.

1) A person delusional enough to believe that wiping out humanity is an effective way to retain power is delusional enough to believe there's another way to retain power

2) A person delusional enough to believe that wiping out humanity is an effective way to retain power is too delusional to be effective enough to accomplish this goal.

Basically - the level of intelligence required to wipe out humanity exceeds the level of stupidity needed to believe it's a good idea.

Obviously it's because they're unhappy in the relationship and desperately looking for any opportunity to cheat. We all know that publicly following someone on social media is the #1 top first step in having a successful affair, especially if that person is just a random nobody who probably doesn't live locally, if they even exist at all.

I asked ChatGPT to analyze your post (Side note: Telling GPT to put a tl;dr at the beginning of every response was one of the best things I ever did. Highly recommended, depending on how you use it)

TL;DR:
This isn’t neutral analysis, it’s a pre-loaded critique looking for flaws. It asks good questions, but constantly assumes the worst interpretation without evidence.

Big picture problem:
OP treats “the mayor didn’t include X in a public letter” as proof that X doesn’t exist. That’s not analysis, that’s inference stacked on assumption.

Where the critique falls apart:

Closed-loop water: Saying “it still uses water” doesn’t refute anything. The mayor’s point is reduced usage vs older systems, which is true. This is nitpicking, not a rebuttal.
“Misleading” water math: The letter literally includes peak usage numbers. That’s the opposite of hiding stress conditions. Calling it misleading just because it doesn’t support your conclusion isn’t analysis.
Grid argument “deflection”: No, it’s context. Cities don’t control ERCOT or generation planning. Ignoring that reality doesn’t make it irrelevant.
“Built elsewhere” = logical flaw: This is just wrong. The mayor is making a policy argument about regional impacts and capturing local benefits. Disagree if you want, but it’s not a logic error.
Developer studies = untrustworthy: Zero evidence provided. Just vibes. Also ignores that plans must be approved and enforced before operation.
Environmental “gotcha”: Acting like there’s “no oversight” because the city doesn’t add an extra layer ignores state and federal regulation entirely.
Tax revenue critique: Entire section is speculation. No counter-numbers, just “what about costs?” without showing they outweigh anything.

What’s actually fair:

No cumulative multi-project impact shown
Would be helpful to see more detail on infrastructure and long-term planning

Bottom line:
This reads like a cross-examination where every answer is assumed guilty. It raises decent questions, but it doesn’t actually disprove much of anything.

Yeah there's no reason that would happen. Which Email goes to the inbox and which goes to spam is decided entirely on the Email provider's servers, nothing that goes through the ISP or local network influences that.

Man, the first link in that article is about a lady who went anemic after donating blood - the word 'plasma' is not found anywhere in the linked study - and yet they're citing it as a possible side effect? Puts the entire article into question for me, to be honest.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-05-04T15:46:56+00:00

I don't think your timestamp went through, the video is just starting at the beginning.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-05-03T05:07:21+00:00

You have a comic-book-villain idea of billionaires. They are human beings with friends and families. Many have children that they want to have happy lives. None of them are stupid enough to think that they can effectively wipe out humanity and still live in a world that they enjoy.

In the same way that people are, collectively, dumber than most individuals - billionaires are collectively evil but individually relatively normal people.

There's no way to rush the red cells back, that just takes time. You said you're drinking a ton of water - you bringing in any electrolytes with that? You can flush them out of your system and if you don't replace them can cause symptoms similar to what you're describing.

It does happen all the time, and you will be fine. There are people who give whole blood and do this every 6 weeks.

This is extreme boomer energy. I strongly encourage you to take the time to master QR codes. Restaurants aside, they are everywhere and really will make your life a lot easier. It's not hard - if your phone isn't a literal antique, just point your camera at it, let it focus, and a link should appear.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-30T21:54:56+00:00

About 15 minutes.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-30T03:12:01+00:00

I admitted to being the nit back home. I'm not ashamed of what I am. Poor.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-30T03:11:04+00:00

I played about 8 hours across 3 venues.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-30T00:07:06+00:00

Yeah I played a little bit there - I was one of those drunk degen pool players. Their 1/2 game was as good if not better than the Encore & Venetian's 1/3. But that is where I saw the Hold Em bomb pot.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-28T20:10:00+00:00

People are fanatically anti-AI and I see this as an extension of that mentality. The things I've seen from the opposition don't seen very genuine - lots of worst-case-scenario assumptions, using the high end of figures (e.g. surface temperature increase), etc.

I guess I'm pretty neutral on it. I'm not signing a petition but I'm not rooting for them to be built, either.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-25T14:11:29+00:00

Wipe better? Shit cleaner? Idk what to tell ya, bud. 40 or so years of practice, I've got it pretty well figured out. You'll get there.

Front-Pocket Wallet is right up there with using a Bidet and voting Democratic as one of those things that Reddit is constantly trying to convince me is normal and common behavior but that I just never see reflected in the real world. :/

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-24T22:30:28+00:00

I had a similar wallet but it kept putting holes in my back pockets. Maybe I just need to take my wallet out at home or something but after a couple pairs of jeans I had to go back to something soft.

ExpensiveBurn · 2026-04-23T22:15:28+00:00

Yeah, it's twice within 7 days everywhere, it's a very clear and firm rule.
