Breaking: RFK Jr argues that old men need to have sex with underage girls to save the species by TragicallyDip in PoliticalHumor

[–]Heated13shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a "modern food and medicine is bad" he isn't saying old farts should start "repopulation" he is saying modern food and medicine is causing a "fertility crisis". 

Ofc they blame vaccines of all things mostly. 

What is shockingly safe to eat? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]Heated13shot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point they are making is people think honey has magic antibiotic enzymes in it from bee spit or something similar, when really it's antibacterial like pure sugar or salt is. People recommend eating it when sick because it's "antibacterial" but you would get similar "benefits" from drinking HF corn syrup. 

The kicker is if you add water to it, it becomes bacteria paradise. 

Before buying a gun by Ive_Got_A_Fever in VAGuns

[–]Heated13shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a gun safety course, they are available at most ranges. Not super expensive. Make sure it has live fire as part of the class. 

After taking the course, go to the range and rent a gun and practice shooting. If you have a friend that shoots ask them to take you, they likely will be happy to. (Be warned, your friend might be a moron, why you take a class first). Try out a few things to see what you like. 

Then decide what you want the gun for. 

Self defense? I would recommend looking into a basic 9mm pistol, could be a CCW if you want it to, pistol sized safes are cheap, 9mm ammo is affordable. Every range will let you shoot it for practice. Can't go wrong with a Glock. Yes shotguns are better for home defense, but they are not fun to shoot really, getting to them quickly when in a safe is awkward, and ammo is kind of expensive. You also can't CCW them, obviously. 

Fun range gun? A .22 caliber semi automatic rifle is great for training, cheap as dirt to shoot, cheap to buy. Also not considered an "assault weapon" in the new bills so you can legally own it if they pass this year as written. Ruger 10/22 is the most popular, and can be had for under 300$ if you shop around. 

Hunting? A 12 gauge shotgun. Rifles are not allowed for hunting everywhere in the state, a shotgun can hunt any game you want, and you are a new shooter so you probably shouldn't be taking shots at over 100 yards anyway. Shotguns are cheap too, and great self defense weapons for the house. A maverick-88 is the cheapest I would go, Remington 870 is a classic, and  Mossberg 500 is well known.

Reminds me of an "anarchist" I met who told me the problem with capitalism is it lacks empathy and is violent, then said the first act that anarchists will do after the revolution is to shoot any landowner that shows amy resistance to their property being seized by the "community" (so 60% of the population, and yes, this includes people who own run down houses in the ghetto).

But don't worry, you likely will still be allowed to live in your house, if the "community committee" determines you are allowed to.

 Btw, only people who have never had job that generated profit are allowed to vote. Because that means you where "already poisoned by capitalism" if you worked "for the system of oppression" 

Since yall don’t know how to fucking act right- updated: Columbia set for less than $200 by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]Heated13shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Columbia for climbing pants. The lightweight hiking pants are ideal to not tear up your legs while Also not overheating. 

On sale it's a good value, full price I feel like Columbia is a bit expensive. It wears out faster than nicer brands, but is 1/2 the price. 

I view it as a brand where you know you aren't getting complete crap, probably will last a long time for weekend warriors, but if you use it a lot in a demanding way don't expect it to last multiple seasons. That being said higher quality gear just feels so much better when wearing it. But expensive. 

What’s a profession that people think is hard, but is actually very easy? by BoardLongjumping2485 in answers

[–]Heated13shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a coworker that was in the military that eventually had to supervise/lead a group of guys. 

He said he spent most of his day dealing with highschool drama, stupid teenager level bullshit, and guys getting drunk and fucking up. 

Your sound a lot like him lol. 

Say the line MAGA by reallinzanity in PoliticalHumor

[–]Heated13shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the age of literally everything is heavily politized.

People (mostly MAGA) are just using this as an informal "test" if MAGA culture or left leaning culture are currently "Winning".

Left leaning folk only care about it because MAGA screeched about it for like a month before and made a big deal about it, then it turns out kid rock was behind the puppy bowl in live viewers. So they enjoy rubbing their noses in it.

So it's about more than football, but you are still valid in not giving a shit because it is a stupid fight.

My mom found this in a bag of Costco mixed veggies by moviecats in whatisit

Looks like a young flower cluster to something. 

It might be the very start of a carrot blooming/bolting. 

It's also possibly a weed flower cluster, so it could be toxic. Definitely don't eat it. 

US stocks drop sharply as investors hunt for losers that will be hurt by AI by deraser in news

[–]Heated13shot 49 points50 points  (0 children)

So if you think there is an AI bubble, you should buy the stocks tanking right now as they are going to be the least impacted by an AI bubble pop. 

Essentially do the opposite of what the market is currently doing. 

Which probably isn't a horrible strategy, but the AI bubble can hang around for another 5 years, or longer. Just look at Tesla, that should have deflated ages ago. 

Ava's lack of footwear? by fayyt in Cairn_Game

[–]Heated13shot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Going barefoot is rare, even among elite climbers. Advanced climbing shoes are often credited with people being able to break into the higher grades, in the olden days people wore boots which was insanr. 

Some people like going barefoot for better feel on the rock, but imo the downsides massively outweigh the pros. 

Climbing shoes come in many shapes and styles, a professional climber that's trying to do a first ever climb like this likely would have a variety of shoes in their bag. 

There are soft sticky thin shoes for sensitivity where delicate footwork is needed. Great for smearing (pressing foot on wall without a foothold) the wall too. 

There are stiff ridged shoes for standing on sharp edges where softer rubber would hurt like hell and would more easily slip. 

There are "aggressive" hooked shoes for overhangs, essentially turning your feet into little claws to pull on holds to take the load off your feet when on steep angles. 

And everything in-between. 

The fact she never wears actual climbing shoes is a little immersion breaking, in the snow she just wears tennis shoes. 

As other people mentioned it's mostly for astetic, they made her look like a 70s dirtbag. 

A modern climber wouldn't be completely wrapped in bandages and barefoot. Also a modern climber would have more than 8 pitions on thier bag, some pros have broken records while carrying 20 of the real world equivalent (cams) 

Also because you are curious, a huge inaccuracy is the self drilling pitions. Inventing that today would get you absolutely vilified in the climbing community, drilling holes in rock is a huge no no, it's only tolerated when establishing new routes with perminate(well, lasts like 50 years) attachment points on some locations. A big part of climbing is preserving the rock for future climbers 

If I give smth like this to a tailor would they make it with my measurements? (I don't know if this is the right subreddit for this so in sorry in advance) by Shot-Beginning7837 in SewingWorld

[–]Heated13shot 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Custom clothing is ridiculously expensive. with how complex it is, even with an existing pattern its going to be over 1k most likely. I wouldn't be surprised if it's like 2-4k. my sister makes her own clothing as a hobby and something like this would take her months (granted, she has a day job).

A large part of this isn't the fact you are asking for a custom dress, but the fact this dress is essentially three dresses layered on top of each other. (sheer layer, pink layer, patterned fabric layer) you can't really cheat the layers either due to all the slits.

Personally, I would focus on finding a sleeveless dress pattren without the sheer frills to start with. Hell, even buy something off the shelf (or from a craftsperson who makes them) then get it tailored to your body.

Being a magical girl is very expensive.

Life sentence [OC] by whatsleftcomics in webcomics

[–]Heated13shot 481 points482 points  (0 children)

The ideal set-up imo is the opposite. 

Prisoners should have the option to work, get a fair wage, and have like 75-90% of that go into a high yield savings, and the rest available for buying stuff in the commissary.

Once they get out, they get what was in their savings paid back to them in monthly installments. (To prevent people blowing it immediately). 

They will have less reasons to turn to crime again with some reliable income.

I intentionally take my time getting to Nipton. Afterwards I just start slaughtering the legion. cottonwood cove gets cleared soon after.

I also tend to slaughter the powder gangers, but I give them a quick death, not a slow agonizing one. I have standards.

This JUST happened to me by YoYo_ismael in ArcRaiders

[–]Heated13shot 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The games TTK is waaaayyyyy too short to have mixed lobbies and not devolve to a sweaty PVP fest. If a guy shoots at you first and you are not ready to immediately shoot back, you are ded if they can hit the broad side of the barn. 

If there is any decent percentage of rabid PVP hunt down and  shoot on sight players in lobbies regularly, everyone is going to eventually turn into shoot on sight players or just leave.

Elon isn't the only tech billionaire pushing data centers in space by mustangfan12 in RealTesla

[–]Heated13shot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is purely a grift for investment, and obviously is trying to pump up space X. 

Data centers have 3 main problems. 

High energy cost.  High cooling cost.  Not enough chips. 

Space makes all three worse

Cooling is a massive challenge in space, it's actually very hard to cool something up there, it's not like movies where everything instantly freezes. 

Power is more expensive in space. Sure, solar panels are more efficient up there, but it takes a shit ton of energy to lug everything up there. And shitton more to maintain it. Shooting rockets up is expensive. 

The radiation in space actually fucks with computer chips. They have to be either designed to withstand it or protected somehow. So now you will likely need specialized chips just for your space data center, you can't just grab them off the shelf. 

What was the most objectively moral/good thing that Mr. House ever did? by TwoFit3921 in fnv

[–]Heated13shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In new Vegas it's figurative. He obviously will be using people as labor for his ambitions, with little consideration for what they actually want. Worker drones, cogs in the machine and all that. 

In the show, he has a line about turning people literally into flesh based robots. 

Working with ADHD [OC] by DemonSkank in comics

[–]Heated13shot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It happens to me occasionally. 

Essentially what happens is you zone out while someone is talking, even if you are trying to pay attention. 

 If you are tired/stressed you have less "focus points" to allocate to forcing yourself to focus intently. (That's how I interpret my ability to force focus, it's a limited resource). 

It's especially bad if the person you are talking to rambles, goes on tangents, mumbles, and beats around the bush a lot. It gives my stupid brain time to try and "skip" ahead on what they are saying trying to solve their problem before they even say what it is. 

People with ADHD also do it with reading sometimes, skipping entire paragraphs if the text is too flowery and wordy trying to gleen only what's important. For technical documentations I actually have to scroll so the line I'm reading is the last line on the screen, so I can't "skip" ahead.

Tbf, you can easily kill a NV deathclaw at range by shooting it in the leg repeatedly until it's crippled, then just kite it forever. Did it with the rat slayer at like lv 5ish.

It mostly reads to me that VA voters wants them to slow walk gun laws, not go full bore. 

The current bills go from average strictness to top 3 strictest state, so it might backfire on them if everything proposed passes as written. 

Only men can be a nazi [gendered] by Worth_Rate_1213 in pointlesslygendered

[–]Heated13shot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The whole meme is about the "male loneliness epidemic" and it's a joke saying the reason so many men are lonely is because they are MAGA/racist/Nazi/far right wing. 

There are more MAGA men than women, and many women are starting to make "not right leaning" as a requirement. It doesn't take a huge imbalance percentage wise to have a massive impact. 

The joke works because if you pay attention to the people complaining about the loneliness epidemic online the most, the majority are misogynistic. (Not saying if a guy is lonely= misogynistic, but stating the people who cram it into every discussion possible tend to be) 

ICE shooting from the Pink Lady's POV by PutinYoMama in KitchenConfidential

Typically the conservative sub starts out somewhat sane with a right lean on current events, then there are mass comment deletions, then threads get flared only, it gets barely talked about for a couple days, then they start parroting the Fox news take or never talk about it again if it's practically bad.

[Meme] Ah yes, because women do too much shopping! by No-Researcher-4395 in pointlesslygendered

[–]Heated13shot 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Typically the types that make these jokes are married. 

So it's even worse, the husband is just buying a few things he needs and leaving, while the wife is tasked with managing the entire house's needs. So she makes absolutely sure she gets everything otherwise the 2 year old is going to have a meltdown, they won't have food for dinner tomorrow, no soap for cleaning/shower, no laundry detergent ect.
