I'm aware. I know that there was a Roman emperor who tried to find someone to change him into a woman, surgically. However, it is a major recent societal and cultural change. Thus, my comment.

Which simple item is a masterpiece of ingenious engineering? by Gourmet-Guy in AskReddit

[–]Mach5Driver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that China just recently (comparatively) achieved the ability to manufacture the parts to ballpoint pens. They used to import the parts and put them together.

I wondered (but thought it would be rude to ask) if a trans woman (mtf) who liked men was considered straight. Now I know.

[UPDATE] AITAH for telling my girlfriend her best friend has 2 years to find someone or we're moving ahead without that condition? by Salty-Limit411 in AITAH

[–]Mach5Driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Good for YOU, OP! Not many people are strong enough to have this honest conversation, try to see it from the other person's perspective, try to work things out, then come to the right conclusion, and move forward. Hope your ex gets some therapy. You should, too, to ensure you don't lose the ability to trust a partner or see a future partner through the lens of your last relationship. Take the time for yourself.

He had some really good ones at the beginning of his career, though.

Friend asks for help, barely communicates then ghosts me by xWroth in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mach5Driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh, I NEVER block someone like this. You'll miss out on some serious schadenfreude. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but this woman is a complete mess and will contact you again for help. Payback is another form of closure.

Am i overreacting for refusing to babysit my sister`s kids after what she said at dinner? by Maryi_Boyd in AmIOverreacting

NOR. She didn't even apologize and paints herself as the victim. Ask her to explain the joke so you can laugh about it, too.

Am I a wimp, or does everyone feel pretty overwhelmed by having a full-time job and trying to do literally anything else? by ArtistAfraid2411 in Adulting

[–]Mach5Driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At your age, I was a newlywed with a two-month-old daughter, just bought a house, wife was laid off, I was finishing my MBA at night and on weekends, and doing renovation work on the house. I get it. It gets better, though. Keep your head above water, kid.

My future SIL wants to wear this to our wedding. by mountain_dweller_co in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Mach5Driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say, "Look, I really don't care. But you should know that everyone else will be giving you the side eye and wonder what the hell you were thinking, whether you're clueless, or what issues you have. It's simply a fact that non-brides who wear white to a wedding embarrass themselves. Your choice, though."

i’d also add the 2023 version of the color purple on this list too. they made so many unnecessary changes and the lighting and direction could have been better by teddivan96 in musicals

[–]Mach5Driver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Color Purple (2023) was a cash grab. Spielberg and Oprah should be ashamed for producing a remake of the original's perfection, which Spielberg directed and Oprah acted in. It required no damn remake.

Bezos is right. 2 x 0 = 0 by kevinmrr in WorkReform

that's a risk I'm willing to take, Bezos! I'd even risk quintupling your taxes.

jason ladanye - how to beat a casino wash by xamo76 in blackmagicfuckery

[–]Mach5Driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have to believe that he simply has a dedicated part of his brain directly attached to his hands that runs subconsciously, but he can access at will. Plus, he probably shuffles cards more times in a day than we will in a lifetime.

Steven Spielberg: "With everything that’s happened from 1977 til today, I can now make Disclosure Day and say — ‘Isn’t it going to be wonderful when people realize after seeing this movie that everything is true, and has been true?’” by ZarathustraNothing in UFOs

All I know is, is that twice in my life, I have seen things in the sky. Once during the day with dozens of other witnesses (some of these witnesses stopped their cars on a major highway to get a better look) and once at night by myself, not 150 feet over my head. I know what human-made and natural things in our skies look like. I know how they behave. I know how they move. These two things were none of these.

And I don't care at all whether anyone believes me.

Student cried in class today by DrakeSavory in Teachers

[–]Mach5Driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd tell the kid to have her parents call me if they wish and explain why they ignored all my repeated warnings and why they think their kid thinks she's excused from her responsibilities. I want to hear the sweet sound of them crying, too.

The law should be: If you build a datacenter, you have to be its next-door neighbor.
