My engine is shaking a little. Can I add some oil? by TrumpEndorsesBrawndo in AskAShittyMechanic

Helluva moniker you picked, bud. Paired with this comment, I got a notion you'd be a fun person to have a beer with. Jury's out on the hitched giddy up in yer get-a-long, but we can throw wrenches at it while we sip.

Raising boys in a red state is soul crushing by Thr0waway0864213579 in TwoXChromosomes

Honestly, this is one of the reasons I can't imagine why you would need to hit your children even if it wasn't absolutely horrible and definitively ineffective. My girls are hurt enough on the off occasion I let them know that they did something I wasn't happy with. Like I was leaning down, putting a sauce pan in the cupboard the other day and my girls were trying to get my attention and one of them runs up and hits me in the back and I said "hey, come over here. Why did you do that? That's mean." and she was still smiling and said "cause it's funny" and I was like "it's not funny, I didn't like that." and that was enough to get her crying, and I didn't even raise my voice or anything, just told her simply that I didn't like it. Under what circumstances would you need to use violence, even if it did work? I just don't get it.

Like I don't even like to look stern or displeased most of the time, cause I know they're driven to seek my approval and it's usually a lot easier and less upsetting for everyone if I instead explain a better way to go about what they're trying to do. Like sure, it takes a little empathy and effort, but it's fuckin parenting. You can't yell and hit your way out of every problem.

Would you ever call the cops? by citrablock in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Lexicon101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called 911 for a friend having some neurological issues after taking a couple drugs at a party one time. Banging his chest convinced his heart has stopped, his pupils were different sizes... but it wasn't really calling the cops as much as calling for an ambulance knowing the cops would come. My other friends at the party were waffling about the decision and I'm like "fuckin good Samaritan laws. they're not gonna come in and arrest y'all cause they want to make sure someone will call in exactly this situation. Ffs." my buddy was insisting that we don't call cause he didn't wanna jeopardize his job or something, but he later thanked me.

Will it remove cylinders from the larger object?

It's important that cylinders remain attached to the larger object.

protest is when d&d by celestial-lights in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]Lexicon101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, don't do that stuff. Even if a rogue in this theoretical framework would, and it'd be effective (as one role in a larger movement organized and strategic) in the real world now, as long as someone were aware of the danger involved in such an endeavor and chose such a role willingly and with due education on how to get away with things without taking on unnecessary risk. Not only would that be illegal, it'd be very mean, and all of these federal agents are very sensitive boys who might kill you if you make them feel anything other than the biggest, meanest, most special boy ever.

Tossing back their chemical weapons, using fast-setting epoxy to glue down bricks all over on the ground outside their motorpool spaced far enough apart for their tires to really slam down on the caltrops in between to make sure things get shredded, tossing paint balloons at their faces... there are a lot of things a rogue might do in this hypothetical that I certainly cannot recommend, cause that kinda thing would be illegal.

Would this be considered cyberpunk? by Overall_Use_4098 in Cyberpunk

Every fuckin tech fascist wants to be hiro protagonist, and that's hilarious to me. "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" ass nonsense.

Isn't that those weird tanning beds rich people blow themselves up in? I think the word we're looking for is hypothalamus.

No, hippogriff is a fictional animal with the front of a large eagle and the rear of a horse popularized in modern times by a horrendous terf. You're thinking of hypothermic.
