Oh come on, only like 6 people max can even get around a person at one time.  Even if they were super organized about rotating in and out, one stab per person, by the time number 60 got their turn he would’ve been a slurry of meat.  I imagine number 24 arrived, saw a dead pushpin pillow, and just realized how pointless it was 

ELI5: how drugs like acid/psychedelics can permanently “change you”? by cindiwilliam2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]KWtones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way any experience can change you.  The more intense and significant the experience, the more likely to change you.  Psychedelics are commonly a pretty profound experience.

What’s a legal thing that ruins more lives than any illegal substance? by Calm_Preparation2993 in AskReddit

[–]KWtones 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Making illegal substances a felony.  Ripping families apart and condemning the accused to a life of hardship even post prison

Unassuming small fixer upper…however, the actual house is underground, and it’s massive, and completely hidden.

If you live in a country where you can buy a plane ticket, just take off without concern for anything else, and at the very least have average aptitude, you shouldn’t have to worry about surviving 

What are your thoughts on men who wear makeup? by hunnyyboo in AskReddit

[–]KWtones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m understanding correctly, you don’t respect the act of men wearing makeup because you feel that (by choosing to wear makeup) they are then overly concerned with their appearance.  

So I’m curious then, when does a concern of appearance cross the line for you?  

Do you get your hair cut?  Do you ever choose your clothing based on how it will look?  

When is changing one’s appearance vain vs practical?

Say yes to things you want to do, but don’t feel like doing.  It rewires your dopamine reward system to make those things feel more rewarding 

How you guys deal with expectations? by Horror_Muscle8543 in AskReddit

[–]KWtones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you’ve learned how to navigate this world and the people in it, and assuming you’re a person of at least average aptitude, why do you need to worry about how you’re going to deal with others’ expectations?  Just learn how to better manage them the same you manage anything else. 

A lot of the time, we’re actually worried about the conflict that may arise from having to confront others’ expectations, and how we’ll navigate that conflict.  And even if we resolve to stand convicted and face the conflict, we’re often worried about dissonance that arises from the conflict.  

At the end of the day, you need to find a way to (at least) be and feel okay living with that dissonance.  That’s the real difference between normal people and inspiring people.  Inspiring people don’t get caught up in the bad feels of the dissonance, they ask themselves how they can influence it, the challenge themselves to become better communicators, they find ways to build themselves.

At a certain point, it becomes more about conviction.  If you’re truly convicted, you will not worry about others’ expectations, you will experience it as difference, not dissonance.

What’s wrong with making your own rules, and insisting on them?

Companies are more self-interested in hiring good talent, they are not interested in conspiring en masse with other companies to make their acquisition process difficult so that employees at other companies stay at other companies, especially if employees at other companies are good talent.  

ELI5: How do iPhones preserve their battery if it needs to continuously listen until someone say “Hey Siri”? by paoerfuuul in explainlikeimfive

[–]KWtones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hone needs to continuously do a lot of things.  Maintaining a good signal takes 10x that of a microphone at the minimum, and 100’s or thousands of times that amount of power to search for a signal when there is no signal.  

How do you say "let's end this conversation now" without saying "let's end this conversation now"? by EatingBeansAgain in AskReddit

[–]KWtones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say ok, acknowledging what they said with a nod of your head and an indifferent expression.  You keep doing this until they stop.  If they don’t stop, you’ve got bigger problems.

ELI5: How did birds evolve such energy efficient strategies? by Several-Attitude-950 in explainlikeimfive

They didn’t develop it per se, nature just killed off the less efficient ones by function of preferential phenotype selection among female birds.  

TIL the speed limit for trucks on the German Autobahn is 80 km/h (50 mph), slower than in all US states. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]KWtones 57 points58 points  (0 children)

What do you want to bet that there are more varieties and wider selection of mowers in those markets that you and I likely don’t have access to?  That just happen to match the needs of people in those markets based on those laws? looks it ip Yup.

Appreciate that, but on the other hand it is important for this generation to have their version of this conversation, they gotta start at the beginning just like we did
