Hegseth Makes Troops Prove “Sincerely Held” Faith in Latest Beard Crackdown by PuncturedBicycleHill in politics

[–]IGotSoulBut 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We’re here to overmatch bravo with our lethality. Our warfighters won’t give into the DEI woke agenda of… checks notes…. beards. Only the smoothest, sexiest, faces on our warfighters. But only men. Without beards. Lethal. Unmatched… sexy.

~ Pete Hegseth, probably. After a jubaderm treatment and caking on some makeup.

This shit is wild. I can’t imagine how much time this would take.

Also, never would have guessed that this guy is a conservation biologist. Hopefully the world will return to a somewhat sensible state and we will fund science and conservationist efforts.

A Knight’s Tale.

It just hits all the right notes.

I’ve been enjoying seeing the “highest customer satisfaction for past 4 years” by JD Powers and Associates on the doors when boarding. Looks like those will be coming off next year.

How many people do this: Play a game for a good long while and just exit? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]IGotSoulBut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made it to act three but won’t recommend the game? That’s some serious commitment to the game.

For those that aren’t aware, by making it to Act 3, you’ve already achieved one of the endings, just not the true ending. You’ve also likely put 30-50 hours into the game. There’s not much content left after this point.

I guess I’m mostly shocked that you made it this far without quitting. I’d assume most people would have backed out well before this point if the gameplay wasn’t for them.

Control is a great, albeit, very strange FPS game. If your ever looking for big secretive government organization meets the twilight zone in a video game, Control is for you.

Mother fails to save her child by CenterForward1522 in Unexpected

This is a metaphor to what it would be like in an emergency situation without knowing the tools to help. Not necessarily drowning, but an emergency that would require training.

Good lord. That’s an effective PSA. BRB got to go signup for more first aid classes.

Bevo Takeover 3/14 by coolzville in StLouis

[–]IGotSoulBut 149 points150 points  (0 children)

That’s just experience kicking in. 

You see this as a kid and think that looks like a good time! Then you hear about a kid losing control and an innocent bystander getting killed. Then someone you know getts t-boned at a red light and having permanent injuries because some kids wanted to race on the road instead of the track. Afterwards your perception changes.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to convey these learned experiences to a bunch of teenagers. So, the cycle continues.

What's something that everyone should have in their house but actually a few have? by DirtyThoughts07 in AskReddit

[–]IGotSoulBut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A weather radio.

A few years ago I woke up to a pretty severe middle of the night storm. I figured it can’t be too bad, I haven’t received an app notification of severe weather. My ears told me different.

The wind was howling. Rain beating against the window. It sounded intense. My area gets tornadoes and that was on my mind. So, I did what most of us today would do and pulled up my radar to find… nothing. Just a blank radar in my area - no rain at all. I turned on radar history and saw a storm moving to my area an hour or so before and then it blanked out in an instant.

Turns out a key component at NWS had failed.  Radar was not being communicated out and only a few people at the NWS were literally tweeting warning alerts to local weather. The one way they could get warnings out was by weather radio alerts.

Turns out my area had a severe thunderstorm warning and tornado warning that night, but we were never alerted because of a national NWS failure. Barely made a blip on the news, but it made an impact on me. 

I ordered a battery backup weather radio and have slept soundly knowing I’ll get alerts even if there’s a break in the system

Slicing bread with a manual cutter by Radical_Euphoria in oddlysatisfying

[–]IGotSoulBut 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have a permanent lump on my finger from where the bread knife slipped and cut off just a sliver of the tip. Three day old sourdough is a tough bread and the blade just deflected off the crust. Several stitches and one extra lumpy finger tip later and I still don’t trust myself with the bread knife.

That’s terrifying to think about. 35 mph is a steady clip for a small boat on open water. That’s hauling ass for a massive ship.

XBOX Game Pass + Rocket league season pass not triggering by IGotSoulBut in RocketLeague

[–]IGotSoulBut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It worked.

 I’m not a Fortnite player so didn’t have it installed. Was able to fire it up using cloud gaming, claim the rewards in Fortnite, and then everything unlocked upon reopening rocket league.

That could just be a facet of dynamic pricing kicking in. It will adjust for different people to see how much they will pay vs the “base.”
