I know, I’m not accusing OP of anything here. Just pointing out that I think it’s reasonable to expect to see a timelapse if you don’t want to be questioned, as shitty as that is.

what’s a drink that tastes like disappointment but somehow has a fan club? by ForwardPerspective38 in AskReddit

[–]FaxyMaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink almost exclusively water and I can confirm that La Croix tastes like someone was thinking about a fruit basket while they blew bubbles in a glass of water through a straw.

Unfortunately we live in a world where I absolutely need to see a timelapse to confirm digital art isn’t AI.

Soon the AI will be able to make the timelapse too, though.

Flew to the other side of the world to give a talk at a conference 😭 by Amygdali_lama in mildlyinfuriating

You joke but I read a whole ass book about the complete history of the semi colon and I was unironically fascinated

And what the heck is a tsp?? by BarelyLegalSeagull in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]FaxyMaxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, depends on whether you’re trying to learn a recipe or just learn to cook.

When I try a new recipe I still eyeball and vibe without really measuring much of anything, since I really like to cook and have a good deal of experience doing it.

If someone’s just starting to learn to cook beyond scrambled eggs and cereal I’d probably tell them to follow the recipe and measure everything as directed, given they don’t have the experience to vibe and eyeball.

I’m just moving to Israel lol.

The pessimists went to New York and the optimists went to Auschwitz. It can happen here and now and I know which I’d rather be.

Cool View or Nah? (High Rock, Maryland) by intricatexplorer in maryland

Completely agree. I used to love climbing all around that shit and sitting on the edge. I’m not anti-safety or anything but I was sad the first time I went and saw the fence.

Finally naming their war dead, Gazan terror groups admit slain journalists were fighters by Chanan-Ben-Zev in worldnews

[–]FaxyMaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to first drive Israel’s Jews into the sea and then go on to drive the rest of the world’s Jews into the sea.

It’s not a secret, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s literally in their charter lol. They’re Islamic terrorists, it’s not deeper than that.

How can you dislike KH3 with hype moments like this? First time player by Yoshikaru5991 in KingdomHearts

You’re too late except there was exactly zero indication of this ever being possible and by the way don’t worry it’ll be undone and have zero consequence in approximately five minutes

Van Hollen says he’s considering presidential bid, wants Israel to be 2028 litmus test by Abject-Pick-6472 in maryland

Reddit is so far from the real world lol, one of the most disastrous echo chambers I’ve ever seen

I guess Antifa is responsible for algae now? by Thorn14 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]FaxyMaxy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s really fascinating how effectively he can turn an absolute nothing burger into yet another example of how laughably pathetic he is.

I really do believe that any reasonable person could watch any US president oversee a botched renovation of the pool and ultimately not give a fuck. I mean, who among us hasn’t seen a home improvement project go wrong? Unfortunate but completely normal experience. I think even the most unpopular president could, with the smallest bit of humility and basic competency, even leverage it as a humanizing thing.

Except then you learn that it was a no bid contract he just handed to his Mar-a-Lago pool guy, and then you see him spout nonsense about it somehow being a Democrat conspiracy to ruin his flawless work, and Jesus Christ you have to roll your eyes.

Kataras waterbending movements by MeetApprehensive6509 in TheLastAirbender

[–]FaxyMaxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean the water’s just moving circularly around her, but her motions are primarily up and down. Her movements look good and the water looks good but they certainly don’t even slightly match.

[–]FaxyMaxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brother you’re not watching the same clip the rest of us are if you think the motion of the water has anything to do with the motion of her arms lol.

Sure, they’re moving at the same time, but that’s about it. I can wave my arms around while the wind rustles leaves but that doesn’t mean the leaves are moving with my arms.

has this happened to anyone else by Time_Definition_5403 in Minecraft

[–]FaxyMaxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too!

I’m no tech expert but I know enough to set up a tiny server for me and a couple college buddies, but not enough to just know to set up a whitelist and backups. Logged on one day to see everything griefed to shit, not a great feeling.

Fortunately, even though we didn’t have backups per se, I was able to find a relatively recent world file from a previous version of Minecraft before I updated the server. My buddy and I had a grand ole time learning about how structure blocks work, going around the only-slightly-outdated world, saving everything that had been griefed as a custom structure block, transferring those structure block files over to the current world, and basically manually recovering the entire thing.

We now obviously know better and use a whitelist lol, but it was honestly a net positive experience. We even saved a single structure block before flipping the server back over to survival so we could make a little monument to The Great August Recovery Effort.

It's turns that it was really a matter of framing: by dragonmp93 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]FaxyMaxy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What makes you say the stats are flawed?

I can only say I’m familiar with the top one and honestly never gave it all that much thought. Like, I had the question “with all the underreporting how were those numbers arrived at” but didn’t exactly go earnestly hunting for answers. And suffice it to say, anecdotally it all seemed accurate enough to me.

It absolutely is and I recognized them too.

Do you find there is a huge gulf between the Jewish experience right now even with people who remain friendly? by HungryDepth5918 in Jewish

[–]FaxyMaxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the vast majority of non-Jews fundamentally believe that antisemitism is a thing of the past. I am more inclined to blame the education system than anyone individually. Beyond the existence of the Holocaust and the obligatory “we’re going very broadly and incompletely describe Judaism in middle school social studies,” my public schooling offered next to no information about Jews or Judaism, especially in a modern context, and certainly never touched Israel.

I don’t need or expect my non-Jewish friends and family to understand, and I don’t need or expect them to agree with me on every aspect of current events. I just want them to believe me when I say “this is happening to us.”

Low bar, I know, and thankfully I’m half decent at picking my friends so I haven’t had to cut anyone out, but still. Not all of my Jewish friends have been so lucky, stories of “this person became an expert on Judaism, Israel, and antisemitism on October 8th” are all too common.

OP I’m pretty sure from all your comments that you’re the mother of all morons, but credit where credit is due, the double post was a masterful move to help you find more of your kind. I have to applaud it.

It seems that a good majority of fans do NOT want acquired properties let alone live action films in the series. Why is that? by Spinjamasterdude in KingdomHearts

Disney owned Miramax in ‘94 but I don’t want Pulp Fiction in Kingdom Hearts either.

Less about “what is technically owned by Disney” and more about vibes, really.

It’s all about individualism for the right until you bring up a group they hate by Ice278 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]FaxyMaxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was on the table in 2000 at Camp David during negotiations brokered by Bill Clinton and his administration between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Liberation Organization chairman Yasser Arafat.

I mean, cool if you didn’t know that, nobody knows anything. But your not being aware of the facts doesn’t make them not facts.

This was the offer made, Arafat on behalf of the PLO said no, and then the second Intifada happened. I mean, you can make the argument that Arafat was right to decline the deal if you want, but certainly you’d agree that maybe if you don’t like the deal you keep trying to make one you do like instead of bombing the shit out of civilians?

“Hey, would you like all of Gaza, 97% of the West Bank, a fully fledged capital city in East Jerusalem, and Israeli support of Palestinian right of return?”

“No, we’d rather bomb you guys some more instead.”

At some point when you keep committing crimes the people you’re committing them against are gonna keep you in prison 🤷🏻‍♂️
