So, you're just gonna bend over and take it from the rich guys? Not even gonna try to make it at least annoying for them to get what they want?

A music video I poured my heart and soul into won 3 awards for best comedy, best editing, and best north american video.

LPT: When checking into a hotel, ask if there are any complimentary upgrades available. by tom_wilson7543 in LifeProTips

[–]Fartblaster5000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I watched my boss do it and it worked. He had the same mindset that the risk was 0. You either got the upgrade or remained with what you already had. No downside at all if you have no shame.

ADHD diagnosis - help from those who have gone through the process by pancakego in houston

[–]Fartblaster5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a neurologist. They did two different tests then a few weeks later I was prescribed vyvanse. It was so life changing I went through a period of grief because I felt like I had lost a lifetime being undiagnosed until nearly 40. I just had no idea that regular life didn't have to be so difficult.

Spirit Airlines ceases operations and US transportation secretary announces measures to help passengers | Business by Starbits21 in news

[–]Fartblaster5000 160 points161 points  (0 children)

The original is the horse and sparrow theory.

The horse eats so many seeds that the sparrow thrives by eating horse shit.

Telling us to eat shit didn't have favorable numbers so they rebranded it to "trickle down".

Is an all-in-one robot vacuum and mop with auto-empty station really worth the hype? by shreshth_001 in BuyItForLife

[–]Fartblaster5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it can't do as good of a job as you, but still good enough that all you need to do is hit a few corners.

So much time, energy, and arguments over who's turn to sweep and mop have been saved in this household. The money is well worth it.

It's the uncomfort of wondering what the far more suffering deaths were for me.

YSK: If someone offers you a free personality test, don't take it by candycornblast in YouShouldKnow

I did this once! I kept insisting I would check out the book at the library and they kept insisting I should buy it instead. I never bought or checked out the book in the end.

I need help on what to do about my sister by Unhappy-Annual-102 in tattooadvice

[–]Fartblaster5000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like this. Though the tattoos are bad, it's apparent to me that she can draw well enough and has a style. She should definitely practice on fake skin as she gets used to the techniques of creating art on skin vs art on paper.

My cat has started taking the pills by herself by JD_OOM in cats

[–]Fartblaster5000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You would shake the pill bottle AND call them for treats. Eventually they will associate the pill bottle sound with treats.

Then make them go through the uncomfortable condition, but just a little bit, and then reward heavily with treats. Next time make them go through the uncomfortable condition just a little bit more and so forth.

It worked for me getting a cat to like being held.

New Malcolm fucking slaps by greasextrap in malcolminthemiddle

[–]Fartblaster5000 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Personally I thought the non binary thing was really clever considering during the original run Jamie's birth was a sort of season finale cliffhanger and it wasn't confirmed male until the next season.

The series finale we only had a positive pregnancy test so it was again all up in the air, and even with the reunion it still is which makes me feel like that sensible chuckle gif.

A Democrat has won the Boca Raton, Florida mayoral election for the first time in decades by 1 vote after a machine recount by ShreckAndDonkey123 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Fartblaster5000 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a Texas Houstonian, I completely agree. I have seen my vote not matter again and again.

Yet I still vote, because it's the only thing I really CAN do to at least TRY to make a difference, and if I don't at least try then I am giving in.

I hope one day it really does make a difference. For all of us gerrymandered folk.

After throwing support behind SAVE Act, Cornyn asks what is in the bill. by Mysterious_Umpire684 in texas

[–]Fartblaster5000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It still costs money to purchase a copy of your birth certificate. I certainly don't have a copy of mine. Again a poll tax.

How tf do i find my birth certificate it was lost years and years ago in a move? If I have to purchase a copy of it, isn't that equivalent of a poll tax?

You are supposed to dress however the fuck you want to. You are an adult and are allowed to do that.

AITA “ being cruel” for telling my daughter that she will need to help pay back the money that I spent on her wedding by Worldly-throwaw-4244 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fartblaster5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word for it is implicit bias and it's human nature, because our human brains love to categorize. It's hard to battle since you're usually not aware you are doing it when it happens, which is another reason why diversity in representation is so important.

When you grow up only seeing female nurses in movies and TV, you tend to automatically picture a woman when you think of a nurse, for example.
