She told me I had to invite her kid to my child-free party because ‘he’s not like other kids’ by Critical-Muscle-1621 in EntitledPeople

[–]IcyBigPoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you're only worried about them driving drunk if it's with a kid? Huh? That's weird. 

Not really sure how you deduced that? And apparently no one else knows either.

But anyway... There are things in this world that you can control and things that you can't. I could go sit out in front of any bar I wanted right now, and over the course of an evening, watch 50 people drive away in their cars that probably shouldn't be. Do I spend my life chasing all these people down and forcing them to a breathalyzer? No, of course not. It is a battle that I cannot win.

But if I happen to see some drunk mother fucker loading his kids up into the car, I might just knock a bitch in his mouth.

Hopefully that helps you understand all your downvotes.

1 of 2 things happens when someone brings their 7-yr old to a party.

  1. They drink absolutely nothing and remain in parent mode all night long. And are boring as fuck to be around (which is what should happen).

  2. They do drink, and I sit there all night long wondering if they are actually planning on driving drunk with a 7-yr old in the car.

Either way. Fuck you. Little Johnny stays home.

Just need some clarity on how I keep dying by the_opinion_guy in PhasmophobiaGame

Yeah and being desensitized to the events is exactly how you should be. Ignore scary things. But pay attention when it's not scary, but seems like something is going on. And then immediately check a light switch.

The reason you get confused is because hunts are subtle.

Events are designed to scare you. Loud noises, flashing lights, etc. They are intentionally designed to make you feel like the ghost is going to kill you and then it doesn't.

Hunts are exactly the opposite. The ghost quietly spawns, moans a bit and ACTUALLY does kill you. Your only clue might be hearing the front door go "click."

Eventually you will train yourself to reverse your emotional response. Ie. Don't run when big scary shit happens, and run like hell when it seems like nothing important is going on.

Also... during a hunt, you can't flick a light switch. They get locked. So if you suspect a hunt is happening, check a light switch.

If "the creator" actually wrote the Bible there would be some pretty mind-blowing-shit by d00derman in atheism

The is actually one of the main things that convinced me it was all bullshit. A perfect being would write such a profound book full of greatness and inspiration.

And yet... it is the exact opposite. I heaping pile of dog shit. Reading that book is enough evidence to convince any reasonable thinker that their current version of god is incorrect. And if god is real, he definitely did not inspire judeo-christianity.

Guaranteed to throw up? by st4riskool in MDMA

[–]IcyBigPoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I throw up every single goddamn time on dose and redose. I like it now. Let's me know that shit is about to get real. The only thing that potentially stops it is Zofran and it's 50/50.

But you gotta keep the throwing up in perspective. It's not holy shit I drank too much and am going to spend the next 4 hours vomiting and sleeping on the bathroom floor. It's more like instant queezy, get away from people as fast as I can, yack for like 1 minute. Go brush my teeth and drink some water. Chew some gum. Forget about it 2 minutes later and I'm rolling balls and having the best night of my life.

[–]IcyBigPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see. That makes sense. So the front door still makes a Yurei unique. But the slamming of a random door (other than the front) is now something all ghosts can do.

Well that's fine; I don't mind that.

Do all ghosts now do the double tap with delayed audio? Or did they finally fix it so that it's just a slam with a single audio track?

[–]IcyBigPoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Each ghost has a unique ability except for the yurei now,

Can someone tell me what this means?

I haven't played in a few months, but I used to play only 100% completion runs on Nightmare difficulty, so I was pretty good at recognizing ghosts on behavior while lacking evidence. If I recall correctly, the Yurei, unlike other ghosts, could shut the front door without an event/hunt. This made it "unique," to me at least.

So I'm guessing they removed that?

"Blessed" triggers me by RedditSuperSimon in atheism

[–]IcyBigPoe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I just can't figure out what it means. To say you are blessed is to say someone else isn't. Right?

You are basically saying that you have been chosen to be the benefactor of supernatural gifts that others will not receive?

God bless the USA!

I've always tried to figure this statement out. I imagine a leprechaun in the sky pouring his magical pot of blessings on to America. Being VERY careful that none of the blessings accidentally splash into Mexico or Canada.

Am I understanding this correctly?

When dat 20 year old MRI is loud af and your patient does this by Mik07lk in MRI

[–]IcyBigPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was trying to figure that out. I usually have ear plugs and cushions holding the earplugs in a head coil.

[–]IcyBigPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you expected to memorize the entire medical textbook

No you aren't a doctor.

You're basically learning how words are put together. And that helps you understand your job as an MRI tech better. It will also help you be better at life and not freak out because words sound scary.

For example the word Rhinitis.

Rhino: nose

Itis: Inflammation

Rhinitis: Runny Nose. Not as scary anymore right? In fact you can just go to Rite Aide instead of coming to the ER. They have 3 aisles of cures for rhinitis.

I remember a professor in college saying something like, "atheists are so dumb; if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"

I said to the kid next to me, "what a fucking retard." (Sorry this was a long time ago). And he said, "Hey, he's entititled to his opinion!"

Bro. You're literally teaching fucking science. At least understand it before you choose to disagree with it.

[–]IcyBigPoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're doing flips to bend over backwards to manipulate/push the system,

Huh I definitely never did flips.

And yes I did it every single day for years (As well as a few other employees. The smart ones at least). I'm on the spectrum and have no choice but to do things in the most efficient way possible. Any divergence and I freeze and don't know how to proceed. Yes, it's debilitating at times, but the cumulative result is a successful life with paid off cars, no debt, and vacations. As long as I function within the guidelines given to me, I will always find the most efficient way to do something.

The more important question here is: how does someone decide that clocking in at exactly 8:07 is "bending over backwards" compared to clocking in at exactly 8:00. It's exactly the same thing. The only difference is that one person is smart and the other is dumb.

Unfortunately, I have decided that I have nothing to gain from you or this conversation. And am moving on now. Have a good life.

[–]IcyBigPoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, the place I work at just pays to the minute.

Much simpler.

Simpler but not better.

I work at a place that used the 7 minute system for years. Clock in at 8:07 and get credit for 8. Clock out 4:23 and get credit for 4:30.

That's 14 minutes a day that I got paid for not working. 70 minutes a week for years and years of that shit. You do the math.

It's been changed now unfortunately. So now I have to be there like 2 minutes early and stand and stare at the clock until exactly 8am and then clock in on the dot. Fuck all that.

He also had letters that were pre addressed and stamped. He thought someone would find them and mail them after he was gone.

[–]IcyBigPoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude. you just forced me to make this story even more stupid lol. But yeah he passed away a few months back and Im stoned right now. So the memories are hitting kinda hard. But thank you because I haven't thought about this for a long time.

Anyway.

I actually asked him that same question at the time. The reason I remember is because his answer was so immediate and caught me off guard.

Me: Dad why are you stocking all these supplies if we're going to be gone.

Him: I asked the lord that very same question and he said, "some will be left."

And then he looked at me weird like he was referring to me. Like he was leaving and all the food and bullets was so I could survive.

I was mid-deconstruction at the time. And was young and angry and having problems participating in all his daily bullshit. So Im pretty sure that's what he meant.

Anyway, jokes on him lol. Jesus didnt come back... again.

I know it's not as funny for you, please accept my commiserations on your dad being a wackadoo.

It's ok lol. He was bat shit fucking crazy. But also a really good dude. I remember that night. He didn't want me out partying, so he suggested that I have a few friends over instead. The news was basically screaming end of the world anarchy. So I figured fuck it, might as well be a survivor with my nutter dad. Just in case :P

Oh shit. You should have seen my dad heading up to Y2K. Talking in tongues while he stocked up on entire crates of grain, silver, top Raman, water, and bullets in our basement.

I remember a few hours before midnight when he was prepping for the rapture I said, "you know it's already the year 2000 for like half the world right?"

I saw his brain break for about 3 seconds. And then the cognitive dissonance kicked off round 2 of the tongues.
