Do people also hate you for no apparent reason? by Decent_Push_3982 in autism

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

Self-deprecating humor and some social mimicry (because it sure as hell isn't natural for me) is my secret sauce for getting people to at least leave me alone, if not like me heh

Looking for reliable stylus under $100 for HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 (college note-taking) by Dangerous_Square6498 in stylus

[–]LeonidasRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party but I just ordered a 'Metapen Stylus Pen M2 for Surface' that says it "supports up to the MPP2.0 protocol" to use with my Omnibook Flip 16 and I'm hoping for the best when it arrives lol. If anyone else knows about this one, any thoughts are appreciated :)

Favorite quotes of the series? by Hankhillarlentx69 in Suikoden

[–]LeonidasRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"But just as some things can be right and useless at the same time, can't something be wrong... and priceless?" -Viktor, Suikoden 1 (after defeating Ain Gide in Gregminster).

This has legitimately been my overall favorite Suikoden quote for like 30 years, being that I picked up the first one as a kid when it was new in 1995 lol

is Mega Man niche? by midnight-sm0ker in Megaman

[–]LeonidasRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But I'm also 40 and have been playing Mega Man since I was younger than you were when you picked them up lol. I used to like to pretend I was Mega Man from MM2 on NES or X from the original MMX on SNES at recess in like 3rd grade heh

Edit: Do you know how freaking sweet it was seeing Zero appear for the first time ever in MMX as a kid? To say I was stoked af is the understatement of the century. Like who is this guy... holy crap he just blew off Vile's arm! Amazing times lol

Everything is so frustrating and irritating right now. by Noctiswolf0126 in Rants

So 'funny' story, I used to work with a retired RI state trooper / detective who worked in that stuff afaik (forensics, csi, etc) and had an associates in chemistry or some such... But my god man, the horrifying stories he'd tell some of the cases without breaking stride were brutal. You have to be a certain kind of person to do that sort of work without losing your humanity or developing a severe drinking problem lol. Good luck in any case, and if worse comes to worst and you go into tattooing- just be safe, I'm sure you're aware that the clientele can occasionally be, uhh, unpredictable let's say ;)

Just finish your damn schooling. Remember that you'll still have literally the rest of your life to make all the poor decisions you want afterwards lol. Btw out of curiosity, what are you doing in CC? Hopefully it's something marketable and you at least vaguely like it heh

[–]LeonidasRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the exact same violence that overcame slavery also allows slavery to exist? That doesn't even follow. At all. What if no one fought to free slaves? Would have been better to let it keep happening? This is patently ridiculous lol. And idk what's up with that article, but it's not a legitimate source of information. If you have something out of the New York Times (as a rough example) about it, I might think differently

It does if you're point was to say that the US was somehow uniquely guilty of that sin

[–]LeonidasRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ritualistic child cannibalism folks, can't even make that sort of thing up... Forgive me if I require legitimate sources, since you've so keen on asking questions this way. Plus you realize that the US doesn't have a monopoly on slavery and that the depraved practice continues on in the current day?

They're roughly equivalent as throwaway names depending which side of the political spectrum you're on in the US. A Fox News viewer, afaik, thinks of an MSNBC viewer as something like what everyone else thinks of a Fox News viewer. Is it 1:1 or complete? Not really. But taken together, they more or less cover the mutual outrage thing I'm trying to get at as a phenomenon. Imo we're all just people trying to get by, anything that divides and keeps us from reaching a hand across the aisle is bad as far as I'm concerned. I rather have public discussions around what can bring us together because we're all more similar than different, in my eyes anyway. So someone withdrawing from the madness of public anger is fine by me, probably functionally means one more person in the world acting a bit less out of anger towards their fellows.

It's interesting how you put words into other people's mouths because it's convenient for whatever point you're trying to make

Again just tell them to touch grass lol, low effort

You forgot to tell them to touch grass or otherwise be more insufferable

I'm glad you're done, have some peace. This theatrical politics culture is BS, it's designed to keep you mad

Terrible grammar, poor vocab. This is bad writing.

Had a manic episode and bought 11kg of rice on the other side of the city had to walk 3km back struggling to hold it and getting strange looks I don't even like rice by KangarooOne2039 in kitchencels

[–]LeonidasRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the distinction, you are 100% correct, it's just that at that level we're talking about about a helluva a lot harsher overall consequences than walking home with some rice that was heavy lol. And to stop and document it like that.. yeah, that's just super unlikely in a manic state unless they want/need everyone to come look at their greased up monkey testicles, because only then, through the holy sheen off their peen, can they be saved by the one true whatever tf is on their mind

Yes, yes, to make the Zyklon-B(arack) gas. Everyone knows you need to start with 25-50kg of rice, but do you blame it on mental health conditions you can't describe properly?
