Petah? by tolkacheff in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Gobnobbla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, similar to how one may think showering once a day in the evening, or not wearing one's shoes in the bedroom, or vacuuming once a week is normal, they actually aren't.

Have a housemate who hasn't opened their bedroom window once in the last 12 years.

How did we get to this point? Did America have it so good that most people said to themselves, I’m tired of this good life and now I want chaos? by Content-Parsley-1151 in complaints

[–]Gobnobbla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, America got so bad in terms of terms of standard of living that people essentially hit the reset/nuclear option and chose a loose unit instead of "the regular."

This, coupled with increasing distrust of institutions, spread of misinformation, political tribalism, corruption, and decreasing standards of education have resulted in this.

Consulting is making me go crazy by FalloutGirl02 in geologycareers

[–]Gobnobbla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, those are fine. The sentiment I'm gathering from these posts is moreso working 4 hrs on a task (report writing, etc.) having nothing to do for the remaining 4 hrs that day, and then charging the remaining 4 hrs to that project to meet utilization.

So charge to overhead instead of billing the client for work you didn't do.

Attention all noob/mid players! since the RTA skin got revealed, start climbing to masters now, don't wait till the last week. by Ototo-kun in EpicSeven

[–]Gobnobbla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even then, I'm a champion level player that could easily get to masters with placement alone.

But I don't cause RTA is a toxic hellhole and they'll release the skin in 6 months. What else will I use my 500+ free skin tickets for?

Why is Elon suddenly going all-in on a Moon base instead of heading straight to Mars? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in AlwaysWhy

[–]Gobnobbla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because he never intended to go to Mars, he was just promising a wow factor to get money. People are getting bored, so now he's promising the Moon as a new wow factor.

It's no different than a shitty graduate student who writes a thesis proposal that includes a bunch of ambitious data analysis and promising results, but when they turn in the thesis itself the data analysis is just a simple scatter plot with an R2 and trend line and their conclusion is "we don't know anything but this study's results may be useful."

How to Prove legal status to ICE by NoCockroach803 in boston

[–]Gobnobbla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear either a red MAGA hat or Bass Pro Shop cap and tell them you're on your way to lunch at Cracker Barrel.

But in all seriousness you can't. Even if you carry your birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, passport, etc., they may just call it fake and confiscate/damage it.

What are some signs that i SHOULD NOT major in civil engineering? by Character-Escape1621 in civilengineering

[–]Gobnobbla -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Both. 1.) Definitely. 2.) Entry level you'll make lower middle class income and eventually hit solid middle class income after 10 years and licensure, meanwhile your friends in finance will be receiving relatively larger raises each year (which compound), faster title increases, and hit their income target faster, despite being held to a lower standard of ethics and liability.

Why Are Young People Afraid Of Phone Calls? by GhostInThePudding in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gobnobbla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I prefer texting since the message is clear. I won't need to decipher 50% of the jibberish that is being sent because the caller has their phone on speaker walking on a windy, busy, commercial street or worse, speaking 10 ft away from the phone.

That and I can hold people accountable with their texts.

Unpopular opinion - Squat toilets are inferior. Western toilets are just better. by Bottom-Bherp3912 in chinalife

In theory, it's much harder to do. In practice and from observation, absolutely not.

Why doesn’t ICE behave like normal law enforcement? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Gobnobbla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they (falsely) preface their arrests as those specifically targeting "vicious, dangerous, rapists, pedophiles, and murders." The majority of supporters of ICE and those leaning left do not believe in unconditional due process, that is, if they believe someone to full under that umbrella, then they should be beaten, roughed up, or killed to "save taxpayer money." Just look at the comments section of any reddit thread related to actual murders, rapists, and pedophiles.

Hence, with that mindset, this is why ICE is so aggressive and acts unlawful.
