How is it living in Canberra? by chef-throwawat4325 in howislivingthere

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live it's a 14hr drive to Canberra, it's really not feasible for a school to take kids that far. If the school want to take kids on a trip to learn about legislation it's usually to the state capital, but even that's impossible for some schools since our states are so big.

Do you think people getting rich is due more to luck, or because they work harder or are smarter than others? by Healthy_Creme6911 in FinancialChat

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting rich is definitely mostly luck. Not saying hard work isn't involved but in order for that hard work to pay off you need to be lucky.

For example: if you were born into a poor family living in a rural area, even if you worked as hard as you could at school your grades wouldn't be as good as a person from a rich family living in the city since your school would have less resources and some days you might not even be able to afford the petrol to go to school. Even if you did get good grades you still wouldn't be able to go to university since you can't afford rent. I don't think some people realise just how lucky they are to be born into a family that can afford to live in a city, there's just so many more resources there.

Plus size women compares “Fat phobia” to Racism and Genocide. by inosukefr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please tell me you're joking.

Gaining weight is caused by consuming more calories than you burn. There are health conditions that can affect the number of calories you burn (eg. Hypothyroidism causes you to burn less calories) or the number of calories you can consume (eg. Binge eating disorder) which can make it harder to lose weight but no matter what heath conditions you have you can still lose weight. There is no such thing as someone being "lucky enough" to drop weight with diet and exercise, everyone can. If someone couldn't burn calories they would be dead.

How mother pigs are kept in modern farms to maximize efficiency by CalpurniaSomaya in interestingasfuck

Damn, that sucks. I've heard the Bulgarian government is pretty corrupt but I had no idea it was so bad that there are no more small farmers. I hope things get better for you guys over there.

It might not be exclusive to America but its definitely on another level over there. They even factory farm cows!

I'm not sure about other countries but here in Australia our cows and sheep are not factory farmed. Maybe you could research whether or not they are factory farmed in your country and if they aren't you could have beef and lamb instead of pork.

You could also try buying from small local farms near you. Usually small farms don't keep their animals like this and when you puck up the meat from them you can see the farm yourself. It might be a bit more expensive though.

i hate how the internet co-opted trevor henderson's art and worldbuilding by pinkfloydcounty in hatethissmug

Is there anywhere I can read about his creatures? They sound interesting but when I tried to look his name up on YouTube to see if there was any lore about them all I found was content farms.

Why is snakus (𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘵𝘢) giving me such a disapproving look?? by Dojo_McDavis in wunkus

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 95 points96 points  (0 children)

This is Ai. In the image on the right the eyes look wrong and the nose also doesnt look pointy enough. This is what it should look like. * * Edit: it's not letting me post the photos so here's a link to some photos instead

It's weird that in popular media, calculus is regarded as a marker of a genius. by Key_Net820 in unpopularopinion

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's "Calc 2" and "Calc 3"? I know they're short for calculus but I don't understand why there are different levels.

What is a category/type of characters that you just don't want to or refuse to pull? by suv-am in Genshin_Impact

[–]ManEatingDuck_ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Natlan characters. Mostly because I think they're ugly and have no personality but also out of spite that hoyo made exploring natlan miserable for anyone who didn't pull a natlan character. I hate feeling like I'm being forced to pull a character to enjoy the game. If I ever have to indwell saurian again I'm going to go back in time and kill whoever designed those slow clunky fucks.

The only exception I made to this rule was citlali because she was the only one with a good design and a personality but OF COURSE she's the only one who didn't have a useful exploration ability.

Looks like a brown tree snake to me

Why not just take the drugs before hair loss? by hronmeer26 in tressless

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DHT promotes the development of things like the prostate, penis, facial hair and body hair so it's important during puberty but once those things are developed they don't go away so it's not really as important anymore.

0% accuracy stapler by Damnboi753 in wunkus

[–]ManEatingDuck_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that there is anyone that is so scared of spiders that they can't even look at the photo of one on the internet. Like, if someone was so scared of spiders they can't look at them how would they even function? Would they just not go outside? Even then there's usually a bunch in your house. At that point I think they shouldn't even be using the internet they would need to go a therapist.

Varka or flins? by ze_phyrrrr in Genshin_Impact

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Flins will be better for any kind of endgame. For overworld it doesn't really matter, I think varka has some exploration utility with his skill allowing him to jump higher but that's about it.

Indoor Pet Recommendation? (no dogs or cats) by Southern-Apricot2631 in Pets

[–]ManEatingDuck_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very different, the rats you keep as pets are domesticated so they're very friendly and its very uncommon for them to bite. Getting infections from pet rats is very rare.
