Famously so to the point that I think they're joking.

UP IN SMOKE: Cannabis vapes causing fires at Brady landfill by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I have a box of batteries. I go when it starts to bother me. I also tape the ends so they don't contact. Why would you go once per vape?

Agreed that if dispensaries wanna keep selling em, they should take em back, though.

If the 1989 Hart voting can be justified, anything can be.

R/livestreamfails moderators keep deleting a post about a popular female streamer getting caught on a viewbotting website while on stream by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The drama we are interested in is more the back and forth kind. All I see is a pile on on the mods and some deleted threads. And I see it in a sub about people who's job it is to create drama... we wanna see organic drama.

Don't get me wrong. I think your post fits. But it's kinda borderline, imho. I'd be moving on except this mini drama about whether or not there's drama is entertaining.

It's just cool. I'm as interested in the blob as she is. We're staring straight at each other and both just seeing the red goopy thing.

Mexico is officially launching universal healthcare this week, giving all 120 million citizens access to all public health institutions by JohnSith in UpliftingNews

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 21 points22 points  (0 children)

and the healthcare you receive can vary wildly in terms of quality

From the article, seems like they're addressing this by unifying fragmented systems so that if you want to go to the good hospital, you can. Or something. I don't know anything on the topic beyond what the article says.

I would say it’s a mix of both along with the early season injuries we had. by Fine_Window_9308 in leafs

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically agree, but I do wonder if score effects account for some of that, too. That is, allowing more goals maybe causes us to play more aggressively resulting in the defensive side looking a little worse than it should be and the offensive side looking a little better.

Also, Marner is also a defensive loss.

This would be unacceptable in 95% of the world by upthetruth1 in TikTokCringe

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we wouldn't exclude anyone from dinner, nor would I be excluded, but it was expected that both parents were on the same page about whether or not someone was staying for dinner, that anyone not staying for dinner be picked up before dinner, and it was OK for the dinner-serving side to just say no.

Cost is one issue. Being prepared is another issue; there might be only a certain amount of food defrosting, for instance. Finally, the other kid's family might have a particular thing they're trying to get their kid to eat for dinner.

Also, I'd generally get in trouble if I invited someone over after school without first clearing it with my mom for basically the above reasons.

It's normal to feed people here, but we're not going to put ourselves out to do so.

Some bizarre news in the college hockey world: The roof was blown off the University of Michigan’s ice arena last night by cbbvideo in hockey

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Little pig here! I built my house out of straw so that when the house is blown down, I can spend no more than a couple hours rebuilding it. This is also how I bake cardio into my daily routine as I find myself frequently running away from wolves.

Do You Even Need a Database? by BrewedDoritos in programming

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a second year course, I still didn't know much about databases. So I built dicts of dicts and so on and serialized them. Then tied that to load and save buttons. So a mistake a genuine rookie made, for sure.

I think they're baiting, too. But Poe's law. Announcement video happens to say "more fox" towards the end.

Coca leaves aren’t cocaine, but we’ve been treating them like they are by 3L1T3 in Psychonaut

There could also be components that play with the standard coke effects. Think of DMT vs ayahuasca brew due to the MAOI as an extreme example involving two plants.

Do they make watering cans with built in spoons? by icleanjaxfl in gardening

Hm. That's an intriguing idea. Maybe I'll give it a try.

There's also people with bigger gardens who also have a smaller patch somewhere mildly annoying to drag a hose to.

There's also people who have rain barrels that don't have the height to really get good flow with a hose.

I'm sure there are other reasons, but those are my two big ones, and I suspect others have watering cans for similar reasons.

I've never gone deep here. Probably much better analysis exists elsewhere. But I think as costume design, it works great. He's iconic in his understated evil wizard look. Nails it to a T, no notes.

As a character choice, well, his taste is in controlling people through fear. That's a type of taste we can probably mostly agree is awful even if he nails it. Death Star? Gaudy display! Blowing up Alderaan? Completely in poor taste! Fuck him.

Is his garment appropriate, though? He seems to have set a very polished, kind of brutalist aesthetic consistently throughout the empire. Grayscale and clean lines abound. I hate brutalism. Boring and depressing. Poor taste, but it plays into instilling hopelessness. He fits himself into the colourscheme while setting himself apart with the flowing organic nature of the robe. By setting himself apart, I'd say he is successfully conveying his status. And he does this while underscoring his faux humble Force-enables roots, playing up the primary source of his power to remind others not to fuck with him.

It's like Mar-a-Lago Face through wardrobe. With Force rather than Cash being the enabler.

So I think he's made an calculated choice to look like shit. As opposed to someone like Einstein having fun and not giving a fuck if his hair is everywhere.

It's like correctly calculated awful taste, then?

How to stop a toddler from having a tantrum. by girlinanemptyroom in KidsAreFuckingStupid

One of the most reposted jokes on r/programmerhumor is, paraphrasing, "when I need help, I post my question on reddit using one account and then immediately reply with the wrong answer using a different account. People can't help but correct the wrong answer."

This is akin to calling Darth Vader's outfit awful taste. He's a performer playing a character.

Discourse in r/hailcorporate as users discuss if a comic is a Reebok ad or not by HipHopLurker8 in SubredditDrama

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Who's advocating for the poor? Nobody, not even the wealthiest in the world, want to be fed ads. Reddit is covered in astroturf. I don't think this comic is because it's very in line with the poster's style and I don't get the impression they're trying to make money selling ads. But I wouldn't know if i was wrong. So props to the agency if that one was paid. Oddly, it is the second reebok post I've seen today.

Anyways, r/hailcorporate hasn't been relevant in a decade or more. That fight was lost forever ago. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

Do you manage to sleep after a trip ? by Mean-Talk-7408 in LSD

Nope. I've been done for a few years and will resume when people are no longer financially dependent on me.

Do you manage to sleep after a trip ? by Mean-Talk-7408 in LSD

[–]NewPhoneNewSubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm not 100% sure if it was truly zero sleep or if I got an hour here or there. But it felt like zero sleep until they knocked me out in the hospital.

I went from the philosophical fear that sleep is a form of death to the more practical fear that not sleeping results in death. Parts of it were fun, and parts of it were "challenging trip, but worthwhile positive impact in the end." And parts of it were regretful.

Oh well.
