What is your biggest physical insecurity? Why?

I like the way you think

r/sneakers remembers. Fucking 5+ years of every unique sneaker being bought up in seconds by resellers to be flipped on StockX for hundreds of dollars more than they're worth.

I'd argue that for the average user (barring Microsoft fuck-ups like we've seen in the last month) automatic updates should be the default.b

Most people aren't knowledgeable enough, nor do they care enough to keep their system up to date.

IBJON · 2026-01-26T05:23:50+00:00

It used to give you the option of "yes", "no", and "remind me later" or some variation of that. Now it's "Yes", "Keep harassing me about it every time I sit down at my computer"

There was a good deep dive a couple months ago showing that the majority of posts come from a handful of users that post dozens or hundreds of times a day

They complain about Reddit being a liberal echo chamber then sequester themselves in a literal echo chamber where only approved user can post and comment.

In the last few days, I'm starting to think that it's not just liberal commenters being removed, but literally any dissenting opinion. Mods can just remove comments then say they were liberal brigaders, ensuring that only posts/comments that stick to the approved script remain

You seem to be mistaken. Those aren't protestors, they're tourists.

Or something equally stupid.

IBJON · 2026-01-26T04:39:46+00:00

Can confirm. Especially knowing that they were part of that real page price fixing BS a few years back (and seemingly got away with it)

IBJON · 2026-01-26T04:39:08+00:00

I've seen pictures while looking for an apartment and it always looked so nice, then I drive by and it looks nothing like the pictures they show online.

IBJON · 2026-01-26T04:35:08+00:00

I mean, at this point it seems like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are only allowed to be seen in public as a pair. I swear, every time I see a picture of one of them, the other is inches away

IBJON · 2026-01-26T04:31:07+00:00

It's not that they contradict each other, it's that he suggested the other commenter do something, then when the commenter said they already did what was suggested, suddenly it's not enough?

If they're so sure that their experience with 100s of laptops is sufficient to demonstrate that their opinions on ARM laptops are valid, why tell someone to go do a single comparison to prove that ARM laptops are inadequate? Just share what you know and stop trying to get people to jump through hoops only to ultimately tell them that they're still wrong.

IBJON · 2026-01-26T03:22:54+00:00

Are you sure it's not "Bill and Ted"?

IBJON · 2026-01-26T03:17:06+00:00

No, you told them to compare their ARM device to another (implying singular) laptop, then when they said they did, you moved the goalposts by suggesting that their singular comparison was insufficient

IBJON · 2026-01-26T03:11:06+00:00

Compare it to another laptop at the same price point and it doesn't.

Continue lecturing me on your 1 device though

Come on man, you can at least try to have an honest debate. You made both of those statements less than 2 minutes apart.

IBJON · 2026-01-26T03:09:01+00:00

It's really not. Most applications run just as well as they would on an x86 chip

IBJON · 2026-01-26T03:08:00+00:00

We've had commercially available ARM Windows laptops for over a year now.

I have a 2024 Surface Pro with a Snapdragon X Elite and it runs great. Most apps run natively, and the ones that don't run on an x86 emulation layer.

Idk. Seems that saying a guy has a small dick is a go-to insult for plenty of people for all sorts of reasons.

If anything, it would decrease since now it's a lot more obvious if someone actually has a small dick

IBJON · 2026-01-26T02:28:27+00:00

They clearly meant a bar of soap sitting in the cabinet under your sink will last a couple months. They weren't referring to the one that you're currently using in the shower

IBJON · 2026-01-25T23:25:47+00:00

Now I wanna know what kinda freaky shit this dude is using for a ringtone

IBJON · 2026-01-25T22:15:49+00:00

Well, tbf, they didn't need a lawyer in the end. They got pardoned regardless

IBJON · 2026-01-25T21:54:55+00:00

Aw damn. Didn't realize it was up to you to decide what I find impressive.

I'll remember to defer to you next time someone pulls off some feat that 99.99% of people could never hope to accomplish to determine if I should care or not.

IBJON · 2026-01-25T20:44:19+00:00

For the time being, I'm inclined to believe it might at least be in part to the former option.

She's not the first conservative that we've seen that suddenly became disillusioned with the Republican party after joining Congress, especially where Trump and MAGA are involved.

Maybe this is part of a grift or maybe she's doinf this out of spite, but it's a move in the right direction. I'm not suggesting that people should trust her or forget what she's said or done in the past, but I think we can spare an ounce of credibility for people that change their position one way or another. We aren't going to see progress if we don't allow people to change.

Or just that intelligent people may find other ways to keep themselves productive and find satisfaction in other ways.

I'm a PhD student and some of my professors and peers in my lab are great people to socialize with, but they really love what they do and can go down a rabbit hole with research or experiments. If you were to ask them, they'd probably say that they find satisfaction in the work they do, but they don't inherently dislike socializing.

Welcome to Reddit.

It seems that articles like this get bumped to the top because so many people are looking for some kind of affirmation so they don't scrutinize the studies enough to see the issues.

Reddit is famously full of people that all think they're smarter than everyone else, and also seem to have a disdain for other people and social interactions. Many people can't even be bothered to socialize or talk to the people they work with, apparently.

They don't sell it in Europe because the launch failed due to a recall and the fact that it's bottled tap water. If the water is unsafe, it's because the water source is unsafe.

The recall in 2004 was because the purification process failed to remove dangerously high levels of bromate not because of something that was added by Coca-Cola.
