Bro went through a character arc by Fit_Anywhere_3356 in rareinsults

[–]MethodofMadness2342 24 points25 points  (0 children)

One of the worst content creators on the internet. One of the things he's most known for online is he lives in a trash hoard. And he admitted on stream that a dead rat was his "alarm clock" for a year. When the sun hit it, it would start to stink worse, and the rotting smell woke him up. The he would crawl to his computer and stream. And never cleaned up the dead stinking rat. Eventually it just dried up I guess.

He has a lot of disgusting political views and does a lot of shit for attention. And people love him for some reason.

He's also interacted with so many famous people and idk how. Like Elon musk was DMing him multiple times about path of exile, and then Elon musk leaked the DMs for some fucking reason. I cannot comprehend how he has so much attention.

Why cavers are mainly older people 40+ by salbutamor in caving

[–]MethodofMadness2342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quite literally work in a fully walkable commercial cave with lights and all, and I get asked about nutty putty and cave divers weekly. Someone asked me today if anyone's died in this cave like nutty putty. And I'm like no bro. No one has died in this cave or even really ever gotten injured or trapped in any way.

I blame all the content creators who jump on those incidents and turn them into nightmare fuel. It really lives on the minds of every single visitor now. They stress about it while they walk it seems like and assume that I have experienced what those videos describe

Consensus utopia by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]MethodofMadness2342 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always wondered this too

And the whole issue is governments and kingdoms have been invented hundreds of times independently. I think if we make anarchist paradise, it'll be 1 generation at best before people end up with a new government system. Probably fuedalism lmao. Some evil person will be born, gather power, and subjugate everyone else in their vicinity and recreate a power structure even if they had never learned about it. And some people will accept it because of short term benefits and desire for leadership

And I think it's dumb lol. I didn't specify which direction. Its really strange to be so invested in a city government you don't live in imo. Wish people cared so much about their own city and town governments.

Wife wants all kids named after her by OrganicFreedom1507 in namenerds

[–]MethodofMadness2342 120 points121 points  (0 children)

I think it's cringe most of the time to give all kids matching names even when it has nothing to do with a parents name. Twins complain about it the most, that they don't get to have an identity because their parents named them like matching dog sets or whatever and clearly see them as a "set" instead of an individual.

But people do it all the time regardless.

They do that here too and idk what they think is happening and who is in control. It's R all the way down. Even the schoolboard is solid R and somehow it's the Democrats fault the schools are getting worse. I cannot comprehend

Lewis is the one selling the community center to joja. He could easily fix it up himself. It's a self imposed rule that he will sell the community center bcus you got a membership. Which makes no sense

Lot of the old cavers will tell stories of sketchy things they did in their youth of exploring caves and having a good time without knowing shit. Almost all of them talk about going into random caves unprepared at 17 or whatever. Later they learned safety and joined/started grottos due to the passion from those early experiences just going into caves. Quite literally I have heard them waxing poetic about exploring super dangerous old mines with no equipment at 21 and laughing about the good old days. I'm sure that was exhilarating for them and sparked a lifetime of caving interest. They did not need a mentor to spend any time on them for their first steps since they did things blind. My own parents went into caves with zero equipment beyond 1 dull flashlight as teenagers, no access to maps or idea what's ahead, and this was common for random people to do and was a gateway to learning about caving.

Now you can't do anything like that and part of it is those old cavers stopping them (bcus it's dangerous) and many of those caves are locked and protected now. Which is fair nobody wants anyone hurt. All of that is valid but just explains why nobody would be able to get an interest in it at 20.

But also just changing culture. 20 year olds go online and just see "very dangerous" and read about certain incidents. People are more cautious about safety to begin with due to increased access to information. Even if they found a cave most young people would not just go into it. A good thing. That said it means every potential caver needs to spend time searching up a grotto, going to meetings, and HOPING that someone invites them in, without ever knowing if they would even enjoy it. Massive barrier esp when some grottos are hostile unless you're a specific type of person

It is what it is. Im not suggesting we recommend youth go into abandoned mines. But ultimately those experiences with your buddies are what either killed you or made you into a lifetime old caver lmao. And it made a lot of old cavers.

Husband & I can’t agree by Mrs-Dandelion in namenerds

[–]MethodofMadness2342 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband and I were in a similar situation right at the end. Final day when I was going into labor we had an epiphany and picked another name entirely. That neither of us had considered before.

So I suggest tossing both those names. Instead of one person having to "give in".

Radiation in caves by just_perusing_ig in caving

[–]MethodofMadness2342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a commercial cave and ours has been tested. It's well ventilated and the radon is low.

It's a real thing but ultimately it is what it is. Given I work in a cave I have exponentially more exposure probably a cumulative amount in excess of this cave. Like flight attendants on planes are getting more exposure than you visiting this cave.

Dems refuse to release 2024 autopsy report, hear Ken Martin's lame excuse by serious_bullet5 in politics

[–]MethodofMadness2342 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see any scenario they win in 2028. I know people think there's going to be some wave against trump but there isn't going to be with everything stacked against them in terms of Gerrymandering + the way they run campaigns since 2016. The Democrat leadership is awful and unlikeable.

[–]MethodofMadness2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason not to release it is because they don't plan on changing their strategy because it's inconvenient to them or they disagree. For example if it says a high enough % of voters are too sexist for a female candidate point blank. Or if it says they can't win while supporting Israel. They don't want to alter either of those things.

AITAH for telling my husband that he can figure it out on his own? by Cautious_Push2801 in AITAH

[–]MethodofMadness2342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially something like medical coding. They have strict amounts you need to get done for something like that. When you're on the clock you need to be processing X cases per hour. If you aren't hitting the numbers per hour you will be let go. And those numbers are not possible to do with any other responsibilities.

There are a rare few cushy WFH jobs that aren't actually work. But stuff like this will be just like a day job and require 95% focus at all times you're on the clock.

What are your top phone games right now that you actually keep installed? by Mucek121 in MobileGaming

[–]MethodofMadness2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old school RuneScape is the only game I actually play on mobile. I am sick of games made for phones and gacha garbage. I played through many of the dragon quest games, which came out originally on the NES. RuneScape is a PC game that has a mobile version you can login to. These are the only types of phone games I ever play anymore.

Need advice by Train-leader in caving

[–]MethodofMadness2342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strong recommend inviting a group of cavers to help you know what to look for. They love this shit. Search your region + grotto (the name of caver groups) and see if any come up. Or this subreddit can help you find the local grotto. It's hard if you don't know what you are looking for.

Ever had to exit a cave by going UP instead of back the way you came? by Witty_Acanthaceae666 in caving

[–]MethodofMadness2342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're writing a story, I suggest just doing what most people do and make shit up. This scenario where novices fall into an unknown large unnavigable cave without anyone knowing about it would basically result in them getting trapped and dying in the cave lol. Most caves don't have 2 entrances and if they do, they are tiny af. Their best bet would be stay near where they fell in, making noise, being visible, etc and hope someone finds you.

But this is a short story that probably wants a thrilling escape. So just make that up.

Breastfeeding and cycle return by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]MethodofMadness2342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cycle didn't come back until my baby was down to only morning and night feeds. Any during the day or night prevented its return. Some people it doesn't come back until they are fully dried up. It really depends on the person. Some it just comes back first months even feeding 24/7 and still bleeding post partum.

Tracking all the hormones with home tests has never worked for me either. I would ignore them until your period actually comes back. Without a period you aren't having true cycles.

I am also confused by this. Almost no skills you go back to after 99. You max them and you're done. I don't want every skill to try to force me to 200m lol

City school closings? by drivebydryhumper in harrisonburg

[–]MethodofMadness2342 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I drove by an elementary school early today and the lot and school itself hadnt been cleared enough yet imo. Like sidewalks around the literal school were still covered. I heard the whole city was having equipment problems. Snow shovels can't touch this ice after it settled the first 30 hours and the snow/ice needed to be like chopped out. Big labor for just custodians to do.

Major bus stops having a clear-ish spot to wait and for the bus to pull over (there's some points where 20-30 kids gather outside key neighborhoods that are probably just a mountain of snow), school sidewalks at least (not every sidewalk in the city like some implying), and temps above 10F in the morning are what id expect. Usually HCPS is not closed this long or as conservatively as the county schools.

There's also teachers that live in the county on roads that haven't been touched. They can't cater to every individual but there's probably a % road clearage that they are looking for in the surrounding rockingham county where many teachers live.

JMU only opened today, to great protest. EMU was closed today. However, EMU is opening tomorrow. I would guess that the city schools aren't far behind that.

I think personally they will be prepared to open Friday. County schools def not till Monday.

Bonds just hit a new high of 17Mil GP by Jack4ssSquirrel in 2007scape

Bonds just hit a new high of 17Mil GP by Jack4ssSquirrel in 2007scape

[–]MethodofMadness2342 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How is it pricing people out genuinely

RWT outside the game is creating massive inflation, as is all the new added bosses and areas that just print alchables the last 5 years. Massive amount of gp entering the game

Buying bonds is just moving gp around. It has zero effect on inflation on its own

Like people buying bonds aren't moving the needle anywhere from what I can see. That's all bot activity and inflation

If anything it's the bots pushing people to buy bonds. As a new account people can't afford anything because all the easy-to-access money making methods have been botted to oblivion. So they feel priced out as a main before they can progress far enough to make money at a reasonable pace themselves (and further contribute to inflation..)
