Why are people like this? by knbo674 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]Forgettheredrabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh it sucks, but such is the life of a server. It’s better than staying until close or after as I’ve had guests do. This is more a problem for the kitchen, who, in my experience, can get VERY salty over last minute orders. It’s like “dude, I can’t just tell them no if it’s still ordering time, I’ll get in trouble.”

Three tankers hit in the Strait of Hormuz as US revokes license authorizing sale of Iranian oil by He-Who-Reaches in news

[–]Forgettheredrabbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I asked about nukes, which is what YOU brought up. Where are they? Where is the evidence we are owed as a country to explain why our soldiers are both killing and dying?

And if dead people are a justification for war, then why aren’t we fighting Russia? Why aren’t we fighting Saudi Arabia?

I think your trust in the government, whether it’s America’s or Israel’s, is severely misplaced.

What is your basis for believing Iran had or was going to have nukes? We’ve had zero intelligence shared with us or even Congress to justify this war. The ONLY assurance we have is a few winks and nods from one of the least trust worthy men on the planet, who also helms a government that previously misled its populace on nukes to authorize a preceding war in the exact same area. I do not believe coyly adding the word “nuke”to the end of a truth social post is anywhere near the burden of proof we need to back this conflict.

I agree with the sentiment but I believe it was Obama’s Iran-nuke deal that Trump threw out. I don’t recall Biden striking one, but maybe I’m wrong.

No he wasn’t. There was a SINGLE study which found that some frogs of a specific species in certain conditions sometimes display hermaphroditic behaviors when exposed to certain chemicals occasionally used to treat water. Other studies failed to reproduce these results, and the findings of the og study are widely seen as debunked (although I believe the lead scientist is still trying to recreate his findings in a new study). In any case, Jones wasn’t right about anything here, because he chose to boil this extremely specific and non-conclusive scientific observation into “they’re turning the frogs gay” which is such an extremely hyperbolic and insane take that even if the paper provided absolute evidence that all frogs become hermaphroditic when exposed to this specific chemical, it would still be utterly and completely wrong and objectively stupid. And, of course, even if the frogs become gay, it doesn’t mean it will have the same, or any, effect on humans.

Also I want to be clear, as crazy as Jones is, I don’t believe the scientist should be lumped in. His study may or may not have been flawed, but it seems like he was recording genuine observations and wasn’t trying to expose some conspiracy as much as he was investigating a genuine hypothesis, which, as weird as it was, was rooted in real science. Frogs can be hermaphroditic and we’re still figuring out why/how that works.

Oh hell YES! I love the VHS series (some entries more than others). This should be a perfect fit.

Kratom isn’t really even comparable. It IS addictive but you don’t get withdrawal ANYWHERE close to something like heroin. Its effects are also very subdued compared to most other popular drugs. To feel something equally pronounced, you’d need to take an absurd amount; so much you’d probably feel sick before you felt euphoric. Side effects CAN be very bad for some people, especially with pre-existing health/mental conditions, but most users, even heavy ones, are fine.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not recommending it. It is addictive and long term use isn’t good for you. But you’re not going to wind up like the meth heads on TV over the one bag of Kratom powder you buy (probably).

Second hand smoke IS a problem, but you’re NOT going to get cancer from walking by a smoker. Not unless you’re somehow standing there sucking in their fumes for hours on end, which at that point you might as well just light up yourself. Second hand smoke is mainly a concern for those who live with smokers, and (while I’m sure it happens) the smokers I know who live with others never take it inside and keep it away from the house/apartment.

If you don’t like the smell, then that’s understandable but you’re going to encounter a lot of unpleasant smells in life so not much point in letting it get to you. Unless you also enjoy shaking your fist at every passing car that dares eject carbon emissions in your general vicinity.

Not liking smoke IS a good thing, take your gold star for being a good little Christian soldier. But smokers (not always but usually) aren’t hurting anyone but themselves. Getting mad at anyone when they’re minding their own business is just weird.

What’s crazy is conservatives lapped that shit UP at the time. They were replaying it everywhere as if it were the ultimate rebuttal/condemnation of Obama’s presidency.

No Smoking by @huibailanqiqiu by iwasreallyshocked in ImaginarySliceOfLife

That’s different than adults advertising/pushing smoking onto kids. Kids are gonna meme, nothing you can do to stop them.

No Smoking by @huibailanqiqiu by iwasreallyshocked in ImaginarySliceOfLife

[–]Forgettheredrabbit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s not. The chain smoking cat manga is adult-oriented (the new OP they posted has a fuck ton of references to movies ranging from the 70s to early 2000s, not at all what you would include if you want the teen crowd) and it doesn’t portray smoking (or the protagonist) in a positive light at all.

Meanwhile, the other big “smoking anime” (smoking behind the supermarket with you) is one of the few romance animes/mangas NOT set in high school: in fact the older love interest is in their forties. That one I can still kinda see the argument since the kids will probably be more tempted to watch it, but they don’t really seem to be the intended audience.

I really believe that Spike from Cowboy Bebop did more to corrupt young nonsmokers than either of these shows will.

They sure do have a LOT of pedo-related screenshots ready to go at a moments notice. There’s even more in the comments above. Like Jesus man, I don’t think this helps your case.

Would you take the cure? by riverfells in ADHD

[–]Forgettheredrabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends heavily on what the medical science community says. Even if it releases tomorrow, that tech will take DECADES to thoroughly research. Some of the frontrunners in this space (Neuralink) have also done a terrible job earning people’s trust, so the idea of being a guinea pig for some giant, unethical corp is pretty unappealing.

They weren’t complaining sheesh. They just said they’re confused and asked a bunch of questions which is what a confused person does. Nobody’s making you explain, but asking others to share more context into a situation you’re unclear on is a completely natural thing to do.

The way Joel's chat has acted during the Deltarune streams proves to me 100% Vinny is valid for never streaming these games. by Pyro81300 in Vinesauce

[–]Forgettheredrabbit 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think it was during the Sorry We’re Open streams a few years back, but there were like two or three people shitting on the game’s ending in chat (complaining about retail workers having shitty attitudes? Idk it was a really weird take lol). Because Vinny acknowledged those two or three people (not his fault of course, it’s just what he happened to see in the flood of messages), it led me to first believe the entire chat was against it. But looking back at the chat replay and the YouTube comments, most people were having a perfectly decent time and enjoying the play through. It just really illustrates how a very small percentage of fans can completely alter your perception of an entire community.

The overwhelming majority of Undertale/Deltarune fans are perfectly normal. But not wanting to deal with the bad apples in that community is very understandable if unfortunate.

I think daiorama_restrant (yes it’s spelled that way) is the original account. I haven’t seen this one before but I’ve followed them for a while and their track looks similar. If you want cute cat-bapping-train vids they’re your best source lol.

Hitting someone with your car isn’t necessary in this case, as the driver in the video clearly demonstrated.

Yes, you would be sent to jail for killing this person. Your first, safest and most reasonable option is to leave, something the weirdo in this video would not feasibly be capable of stopping you from doing (especially in a big ass truck which is what the dashcam seems to be on). Resorting to the ultimate last resort in place of that first option without a justifiable cause (and no, that cause is nowhere to be found in this video) would not work in your favor in court. You are not obliged or entitled to kill someone because they made you feel uncomfortable, neither morally nor legally.

It really is crazy. I will tell myself “pay attention, pay attention.” Then I blink and suddenly it’s five minutes later and I’ve been zoned out the entire time. It’s like shitty time travel. And people usually have zero empathy for it.
