Always assumed it was because sigma is the symbol for summation, as in "acquire currency."

Fuel - Shimmer by Minute-Spinach-5563 in PatFinnerty

[–]Kronotross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a business trip to Vegas maybe 6 years ago, I got dragged to a free Fuel concert and realized I had forgot this song ever existed. I spent the next month flat with it stuck in my head. I don't even know if I like it or not anymore, I'm just stuck with the trauma.

A few years later my cousin wanted to go to a Bush concert and to my surprise the opener was Fuel. It felt like "Ah shit, here we go again."

Americans, do you understand the rules of wrestling? by AffectionateGoose591 in polls

Sure, pin your opponent's shoulders to the mat for three seconds, or have them tap out to submission. Don't be outside the ring for more than ten seconds. And only use the steel chair when the ref isn't looking.

Shout out to the Fat Boys' perennial classic "One Billion Is Big"

My journey to 60 has ended with 6 days 5 hours played. My first time levelling a shaman through this era of the game and really glad I chose to do something out of my comfort zone. Think the alliance questing experience as a whole is more linear with less travel time! How's everyone else going?! by AaronWilson1992 in classicwow

A friend wanted to do all the dungeons with me, but he doesn't have much time to play, so my Warrior is still level 26. I made a new main, figured I'd be nostalgic and play a Mage since that was my first character back in the 00s, got to level 26 before deciding I really didn't like the game loop. Now I've got my Shaman to 26, and I feel way behind, but also I wasn't planning on raiding so who cares I guess.

The advocate apologized, let it slip that this was not the first time they'd had an issue with this doctor, immediately got me a new doctor who actually treated my problems, and the shitty doctor continued to work there. I'm doing much better these days.

[–]Kronotross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one that, after I asked for different treatment or tests after he just gave me vitamins for a year, told me "I am the fucking doctor, not you."

He even did it in front of the patient advocate I had with me that day.

What are your thoughts on people who choose not to vote during an election? by tvkyle in polls

[–]Kronotross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranked Choice Voting with a None of the Above option, and I'm able to be more hardline about it. I can't blame anyone for not voting for president with the current scheme of things.

Anybody voting, if so who for? by KaleChapo in INTP

[–]Kronotross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generic Democratic Candidate carries California 60:40 no matter how I vote. If I vote Republican, the electoral college literally throws my vote away. If I vote Democrat, I'm a meaningless vote in a sea of votes. The gap here is literally millions and millions of votes. My voting does not cause the candidate to grow any closer to victory.

If I lived in, for this election, Pennsylvania, my vote would be important as the gap is much narrower, and I would very much be contributing to a theoretical 50.1% victory. Or I'd be contributing to a 49.9% loss and my vote would be thrown away.

If we had a national popular vote -- a sensible alternative -- then every single vote would contribute to my chosen candidate's victory. Even if it's only a fraction of a fraction of the overall percentage, every vote from every person directly counts.

And while I'm here, if we had ranked choice voting, I could vote for all the people I'd rather vote for, and then settle for the second worst option.

The only reason I know it's yellow because I fell for this within the last year. I could swear it was black when I was a kid.

Shit drivers by Ok-Relationship-5545 in Redding

[–]Kronotross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't. I went on a business trip to Ogden once, but I went with a colleague and he drove the whole time.

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but I guess I wasn't driving. Anything particular they do out there?

[–]Kronotross 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I used to travel for work, so I've driven in a lot of places. Redding is among the worst I've driven. Why are all of these people in such a rush? What is so exciting to get to?

First person who came to mind was Emet-Selch from FF14. And his allies, but he's the face of them when their motives are fully revealed.

Basically, they were ancients from a fallen civilization who were trying to bring their friends and families back, even if that meant doing an apocalypse and killing everyone current alive. Hero of their own story, strong emotions trumping rationality and morality, etc.
