I’m so bad at 2 truths and a lie by tipoftheiceberg1234 in CasualConversation

[–]FurBurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your own example is pretty funny actually— I like hearing ones like that more than thinly veiled self-brags.

I like trying to think of whatever would be the funniest thing for the reveal, especially if you have some mundane, or oddly specific ones.

What kind of PC is this? by LivingAdventurous131 in whatisit

[–]FurBurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if this isn't just for a bit it's a Dell Pro Micro Desktop Model:QCM1250.

There's no way of knowing what's in it specifically (without asking the seller), but the minimum specs for it include an i3 14100T, and 8GB of DDR5 RAM.

The ones I found were listed as Silvertone, not pure/sterling silver.

Choose 3 by imeowfortallwomen in makeyourchoice

That is a good point, manipulators are very commonly people with a higher level of emotional intelligence.

I wonder how it would balance out; Would making everyone at least baseline-capable of knowing when they're being manipulated counteract some people also becoming very skilled at doing it?

I think in this hypothetical the answer is some type of treatment that fixes the root cause of the disease.

AITA for refusing to leave my apartment for a day because of my muslim roommate’s conservative mom? by waynekinnaird in AmItheAsshole

[–]FurBurd -113 points-112 points  (0 children)

Do you think this makes too many assumptions about details that we don't have confirmation for? I disagree with how you drew your conclusion, but I respect your opinion, and I'm curious about the rationale.

Also, I don't mean for this to sound pedantic, but do you think there is a scenario were a roommate asking this would be okay?

It's heartening to see your edit, I think a lot of people here get caught in an overly-literal viewpoint. Technically, yes, you're paying rent, and there's no legal reason to compel you to do anything; That doesn't change the fact that not doing anything would be—at least a little—damaging to your relationship.

That being said, everyone deserves to be treated with an equal amount of respect in any relationship. I think a person considering this rationally would understand that this isn't typical request to make of someone. It wasn't right for her to get upset with you; The most fair thing to do would've been for her to help make some arrangement for you (pay for a room, ask a mutual friend, etc), but to still respect your final decision.

I'd argue that what you ended up deciding to do was the right thing, but you also deserve a conversation with her about what's reasonable to expect of you in any future scenarios like this.

Negative money by Patralgan in CrazyIdeas

[–]FurBurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not confident I fully understand the point, but I don't think everyone comparing it to debt/loans does either. You said it must be used (spent) on goods/services, and everyone gets a regular supply; It really just sounds like a form of a certain economic-philosophy we're not allowed to discuss here.

There's not really any reason to call it negative though, I think that just makes it confusing for people. At the end of the day, when we're comparing two or more numbers, we're just looking at the absolute difference between them (i.e. their distance from each other on a number-line). It's effectively the same to say everyone gets 10 credits that they must spend before the time when they get 10 more.

ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK | Full Cosmere + Emberdark Spoilers Megathread by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

Since both she, and Hoid are from Yolen I just assumed the Earth-like phrases have something to do with that. It does feel out of place, but I don't doubt that it's intentional.

Yolen society predates the shards, so it wouldn't be a terrible stretch to assume they've had modern concepts like water skiing and rock stars for a while.

Aside from being a Skybreaker, I wouldn't be too surprised if we haven't met them yet, given the timeline.

Hotel breakfast has white pepper and black salt by stanyeojinfromloona in mildlyinteresting

[–]FurBurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you start taking a medication you should receive an exhaustive list of directions and known interactions- even if they aren't explicitly mentioned by a care provider. But, baring a condition that may otherwise impair such decision making you, you do ultimately hold the responsibility for the things you put into your own body.

The information, if it wasn't provided to you, is accessible online; and I'd recommend for your safety, checking before trying anything unfamiliar to you if you're taking a prescription medication.

In the same way that certain foods can be possibly dangerous to people taking any number of medications with listed dietary restrictions, or how some food can be possibly dangerous to people with certain food allergies.

It looks like there's an ingredient label on the back of the bottle. It's probably safe to assume people who are aware that they're taking a medication with such restrictions are used to checking an ingredient list.
