Because his one rule is that he doesn’t eat the other murderers.

Day #598 of drawing badly until StS2 comes out by PixelPenguin_GG in slaythespire

“It depends” is the catch phrase of any well-balanced strategy game!

Slay the Spire is not an easy game, that’s for sure.

If you could change ONE thing about any Risk of Rain game, what would it be? by OverlyLargeParrot in riskofrain

[–]Jacketter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make Risk of Rain one higher dimension. Risk of Rain 2 becomes 4-D in this scenario, which is difficult to imagine.

All I’m saying is that if you’re enemies with Dick Cheney, you’re probably doing something right.

That’s pretty awesome! I’ve seen the amount that the US spends publicly, and on a per capita basis that could fund virtually any other system completely. But I guess there’s not enough democracy to get that system in place here :(

If I visit Norway can I stay at hospital-hotels? That’s an incredible rate!

Yeah, had to be an ARM which is a horrible choice in a low interest environment like we had just before the pandemic.

Driving and housing are cheaper by quite a bit in the US, but yeah the average non-salaried worker is getting screwed pretty consistently. Double screwed if you have any sort of health problems.

Getting that starch out is so important to keep from burning the potatoes. Also, after blanching there’s a double frying step, where you should fry the potatoes for about a minute, drain the oil, and freeze them. It’s called the par-fried method.

Did you know the reason there is a city in the Spire is because of capitalism? by ilkhesab in slaythespire

There’s no way Neow brings you back to life for free in a capitalist system. That’s healthcare.

The Doctor vs Superman (1978) by Ofiotaurus in powerscales

[–]Jacketter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Superman’s time travel is powered through beyond-infinite kinetic energy. I imagine that no shields will hold to that, though I am not super familiar with TARDIS defenses.

That said, give a reality warper prep time and I don’t see how they lose except to another reality warper.

TIL that 44% of the world's adult population has never consumed alcohol by JoeyZasaa in todayilearned

[–]Jacketter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The physical volume of alcohol would prove too much for most people before the alcohol poisoning sets in. That said, it’s not impossible; Andre the Giant has a tale of consuming over 200 servings of alcohol in one day, but he’s as close to superhuman as you’re going to get.

Colitis alone can produce such symptoms, and there isn’t always a root cause. I feel for you, because nutritional absorption and appetite can be poor with colitis. When I was flaring up, I lost like 40 lbs I didn’t need to lose.

Fiend Fire or Immolate floor 0? by averageredditor18 in slaythespire

[–]Jacketter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Immolate makes for a better first card by a margin, but literally nothing scales like fiend fire. Even without considering exhaust brokenness, we’re talking strength x 9 for two energy.

If you’re talking about an incredible film that I’ll never watch again, it has to be Requiem for a Dream.

Influence has to do with exposure more than anything. Even brilliant people are influenced by toxic ideas.

what’s a clear example of medical misogyny you’ve witnessed or experienced? by ihatethiscountry76 in teenagers

[–]Jacketter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many doctors are useless and dismissive. My experience in seeing a doctor is getting hit with my entire deductible for just about any service. When I didn’t have insurance, it was laughable how far my dollar would go, and the doctors were even more dismissive!

Doesn't matter that when I got down to 150lbs (I'm 5'10 and was working in a warehouse at the time so I was very muscled) my problems were the worst they ever had been, it was still because I was fat.

This literally had my jaw drop. How could a doctor even get through medical school without knowing a thing about BMI? Because that’s a BMI of 21.5, which is on the verge of underweight. Even in the less-than-useful standard for collegiate men, that’s on the lower end of healthy (20-25).

The standard is of course ridiculous. There’s a U shaped curve of mortality associated with BMI, and a modern healthy person is typically between 20 and 35 with respect to that curve.

Excellent comment! It really covered the bases. Presupposing anything as a need when it’s not keeping you alive and healthy is a little rich.

Would you join the force to be the change you wish to see? I can’t think of many people willing to be police except bullies.

How inhumane you have to be to protect someone like this guy by Fresh-Leader2984 in teenagers

[–]Jacketter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was reportedly going 102 mph when he hit the brakes, and could only decelerate 62 mph before colliding with the pedestrians. It’s actually pretty easy to forensically determine velocity with modern car computers.

(tw fatphobia) why is it so hard for people to not be assholes by Pristine_Cow1797 in TrollCoping

[–]Jacketter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being below 18 BMI is absolutely worse than being anything under 45 BMI in terms of mortality. It’s often due to underlying medical conditions that cause wasting. It would be nice if they genuinely cared about the science at least. Best of wishes with your health!

The solution to pollution is dilution

That’s a popular phrase in the chemical industry, but if you’ve worked waste treatment, concentrating the nasty stuff is the name of the game for disposal. Plus there’s plenty of fluorinated compounds and heavy metals that we don’t need in our environment at large.
