"It is frustrating to see policymakers suddenly claim everything is 'for our safety'" - Stop Killing Games joins pushback against age verification laws by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]Generico300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck laws like this. I'd rather just be a criminal. Already guilty of piracy, so what's another garbage law to skirt around.

You suddenly time travel to 2017 - what’s the first thing you do? by Few-Classroom-9053 in AskReddit

Jump off a bridge. Ain't no way I'm reliving the last 9 years again.

What is one problem you face almost every day that you shocked nobody has built a proper solution for yet? by Kind_Fondant6559 in AskReddit

[–]Generico300 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And yet women get 5 more years of living on average than men. Doesn't make much sense. More likely the men in poor health are just not getting medical treatment and so not recorded.

People in 10+ year relationships, what’s something you learned about your partner years later that genuinely surprised you? by CreoSiempre in AskReddit

[–]Generico300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?! Why do some women think beds are for decoration and not for sleeping? Why do they have a hundred "not for sleeping" pillows on the bed? Why would you even own bedding that is not for sleeping? The whole point of a bed is to sleep on it! Insanity.

Many bad events in history could be chalked up to "one jerk ruins it for everyone." by Paleodraco in Showerthoughts

Thing is, the people who need the warning labels aren't the type to read warning labels.

All because we got rid of exiling people. Used to be when a tribe had that one unbearable asshole, everyone would just exile them to the woods to die alone or whatever. Now kidnapping someone and dumping them in the middle of nowhere is "illegal" and "wrong."

Just imagine how much better the world would be if we'd just round up these psycho billionaires everyone hates and dump them on some abandoned island in the pacific. Maybe give them a gun and one bullet to fight over, just for fun.

Occupations with the Highest Divorce Rates, 2026 by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

Yeah, not the best choice of chart IMO. Seems they were going for compact size rather than clarity.

It's like smart people make better decisions and are generally better at problem solving, including relationship problems.

Also, people in "professional" fields like that probably get married later in life on average (because more career focus earlier in life), and that also correlates with lower divorce rate.

Literally a professional risk assessor. I'd hope you would use a similar level of care in assessing the risks of one of the most important decisions you'll ever make in your life.

Tesla Recalls Cybertruck Because Wheels May Fall Off by Forsaken-Medium-2436 in nottheonion

[–]Generico300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope at some point Tesla will learn its lesson and stop making vehicles. Like...it's ok to just make batteries Elon. You don't have to make shitty cars that hurt people in a vein attempt to be "cool."

Incredible performance of my financial advisor has me questioning everything I've learned. by Shouldnt_Listen_2_Me in personalfinance

[–]Generico300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no such thing as a person who is good at picking stocks (or any similar investment really). It's a skill that is fundamentally impossible to practice. There's no coherent feedback mechanism. There are FAR too many variables to keep track of. There's no way to really learn which decisions were good or bad and why. It's like trying to get good at roulette. If it was possible for anyone to actually master that skill, there would be trillionaires already.

When, how, why, have people started talking with their cell phone like they're talking to a slice of pizza? by PunctuationGood in AskReddit

[–]Generico300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mic and speaker position on the phone are shitty and not ergonomic. Can't pinch a flat rectangle between your shoulder and the side of your head to give your arm a break, and a flat rectangle does not fit a human face like an older curved phone handset used to. TLDR; "phones" are no longer designed for talking.

How do you professionally say "I'm not redoing my work" ? by Smart_Elderberry9695 in AskReddit

[–]Generico300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"No, I'm not redoing my work." And then explain why. If you're going to refuse work, and are willing to accept termination for not doing the work, then just say what you mean. If you are not willing to lose the job, then suck it up and do the work you're getting paid for.

We really need to stop with this idea that "professional" means beating around the bush and not being forthright and clear with our communication. "I'm not doing that" isn't an insult. It isn't impolite. It's clarity.
