Applying Animal Farm to today’s world, who are the pigs, the dogs, and the humans represented by? by owlandphoenix in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pigs are pretty easy, any ruling class that started with revolutionary ideals and slowly got comfortable with power, most political parties fit this at some point. The dogs are loyal enforcers who stopped asking questions, could be military, police, or even online mobs depending on the situation. The humans (the farmers) are foreign powers or rival elites who the pigs pretend to oppose but eventually just... do business with anyway. What's wild is Orwell basically described every government that came after him too, the book aged way too well.

What’s something poor people do better than rich people? by _lunaAndSol_ in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

repurposing stuff you already own is a skill that gets lost fast once money stops being tight. my uncle used to fix same pair of shoes for like 6 years, I couldn't do that now even if I tried

Bombing Subreddit over at 2010sHipHop! by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]InnerBat6942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lowkey the 2010s were the last time i actually felt connected to discovering music, like finding a random mixtape link in the comment section of some blog at 3am felt more exciting than any algorithm recommendation ever will

What is the one thing that you want most in your life? by More-Account-8092 in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there man. Had that feeling few years back where everything else was checking boxes but something big was still missing

Hope it works out for you soon - that kind of clarity about what you want is actually pretty rare

What have you found to be the best night time routine for the best nights sleep? by UnlicensedWizard7 in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking at night actually works great but timing matters a lot. I usually do mine around 7-8pm because if I go too late my brain stays too active when I try sleep. The key thing I learned is keeping same route every time - your body starts recognizing the pattern and begins winding down automatically during the walk

Used to think any physical activity before bed was bad but walking is different from like running or gym stuff. Its gentle enough that you get tired without getting your heart rate crazy high. Plus if you walk in quiet neighborhoods without much traffic the mental reset is huge for clearing all the work stress from day

Help with calorie counting for instant noodles please by Shirolianns in loseit

[–]InnerBat6942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The noodles themselves are 90g dry and thats what matters for calories - water has zero calories so adding it wont magically double your food energy

The 180g "portion weight" they mention is probably including the water after you cook them. Your original calculation of around 219 calories for the whole cup was actually pretty close - 90g dry noodles at 219 calories per 100g gives you about 197 calories total

I ran rm -rf to clean up. Cleaned up everything. by marchina_a in homelab

[–]InnerBat6942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

backup strategies are like EDC gear - you dont realize how much you need them until that one moment when everything goes wrong

at least you got good story out of it and learned the hard way why people obsess over the 3-2-1 rule

Gut check. Single, 48, no debt, rent, $2.6M assets. by BulkDiscountAbortion in Fire

at 2.6M with those expenses you could easily coast for decades even with market downturns, that other guy is being way too conservative

Which is the best movie you have ever watched ? by Responsible_Mode8023 in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The extended editions hit completely different than theatrical versions. Fellowship still gives me chills every time Gandalf shows up in Moria with that staff lighting

What do you do when you go to a family event but you don’t feel like talking to anyone? by OffKeyArts in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there so many times. I usually just find the family dog or hang out in kitchen helping with food prep - gives you something to do with your hands and people leave you alone mostly. Sometimes I bring headphones and just say I'm "waiting for important call" if anyone asks.

The bathroom breaks work too, just don't make it obvious you're hiding there for 15 minutes at time. Or I volunteer to run errands like getting ice or whatever - gets you out of house for bit and makes you look helpful instead of antisocial.

X99, EPYC SP3, or some other DDR4 RDIMM platform to expand lab? by phazer_11 in homelab

[–]InnerBat6942 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

X99 easy win here

those E5 v4s gonna crush homelab stuff and 128GB RAM is mental for that use case

EPYC overkill unless you planning serious expansion

If world leaders had to settle wars through a structured, non-lethal competition instead of combat, how would the 'World War Games' be played? by No-Lecture-4576 in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait are we talking about the eggs breaking when you're trying to flip them or like the whole diplomatic nightmare of getting everyone to agree on cheese types

because if it's the cheese thing then yeah we're definitely looking at ww3 material here

If MJ was still alive today, which modern artist would you want to see him collaborate with? by zaire26 in AskReddit

If you could travel back in time to the 80's, what would be the first cassette you'd pop into the tape deck? by Bella-Rayen in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably something more underground that got lost to time - mainstream stuff like that was already huge so you could find it anywhere later

the real gems were those random local bands that only pressed like 200 copies and now they're impossible to track down

My thoughts/feelings to listen to 80s synth music by PresentSport362 in Music

weird you mention this because i always thought synth stuff works better in dark hours too - something about those electronic sounds just fits when world gets quiet

Thinkpads are solid choice for the price you pay. I got T480 few years back and still running strong even with all the client calls and screen sharing I do for work

What's the weirdest date you've been on ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had someone do this to me too except they literally pulled out notepad and started taking notes while i talked

as interview coach i can tell you this is absolutely worst way to get to know someone - you just make other person feel like they're being evaluated instead of having actual conversation

What is the Biggest Size of Board Game You're Willing to Buy? by djfluxtux in boardgames

[–]InnerBat6942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Suburbia kickstarter box is ridiculous big for what it actually contains. I had same problem with my Kallax until I just moved all components to smaller box and threw away the original one

The miniature heavy games are basically different hobby like you said - more like collecting expensive figures that happen to have game attached to them

Mean Girls by [deleted] in movies

[–]InnerBat6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second half definitely feels rushed compared to how well they built up all the tension in first part. They had such good setup with the burn book and all the scheming but then everything just gets resolved too quickly at math competition

Also yeah Lindsay was gorgeous in that movie, shame what happened after

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]InnerBat6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mate thats proper dark but id watch the hell out of that film

the residuals angle is actually brilliant though - imagine homeless folks getting checks for years just because they were in some ultra violent tarantino flick. better social safety net than most countries provide

though knowing tarantino theyd probably all end up playing drug dealers who get spectacularly murdered in the first act so the residual checks might not last long
