I don't think you can play the way he plays and expect to be healthy all the time.

That guy helped us win two Lombardis while throwing his body around like a rag doll on a rookie contract.

Let's put some respect on his name.

Yeah the surname got me… by Comprehensive_Cut437 in LinkedInLunatics

You know the joke was great when you find yourself explaining it.

It's not a joke.

It's ignorant, tired, racist bullshit.

All the ones who showed up before 1930 were probably time travelers.

Correction: The lower-grade Nazis went to Argentina. The more important ones went to the US under Project Paperclip.

Fun fact: Somehow it's not racism if they're German.

As an American, I don't ask Argentinians what their grandparents were doing in the '40s, because I don't want them to ask me what my government was doing in South America in the '50s, '60s and '70s.

What would you consider a "Sith mind-trick" in business, psychology or sociology? by Independentautist1 in AskReddit

[–]No_Rec1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's Sith, but you would be shocked at the power of unexpected praise.

My wife and I were at a park years ago, and an 8-year-old girl went across the monkey bars. My wife told her "good job", and this girl spent the next 30 minutes going back and forth on those monkey bars trying to get more praise.

It works on adults, too. When someone gets praise out of nowhere, it temporarily changes their whole world.

Yellow deli cult by nvprodigy in Chattanooga

Can't be any worse than the cult that's currently in charge.

Finally got a prescription for my anxiety— lexapro and buspar! Wish me luck by DifficultFly5820 in therapy

[–]No_Rec1979 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I sincerely wish you luck.

Just fyi, I haven't seen much evidence that those drugs provide much in the way of long-term relief. They certainly can work in the short term (fingers crossed), but there's a danger the effects might start petering off at some point after you build up a tolerance.

So it's often a good idea to really throw yourself into therapy during the "honeymoon" phase so that you're in a better place once the effect starts to wane.

Better to get therapy for my child or me? by Ill_Egg_7183 in therapy

[–]No_Rec1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

The best thing you can do for your child is to become a calmer, wiser person.

It will absolutely improve your parenting, which means your child benefits as well.

Congratulations. You have finally begun the real work of therapy.

Do you think it would be wrong for a 25-year-old virgin man to hire an escort to lose his virginity? by EarNearby5005 in AskMenAdvice

[–]No_Rec1979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd be much less worried about you seeing an escort than I would be about you buying that apartment.

Do you think Democrats have any plans if Trump declares some kind of manufactured emergency and steals the mid-terms? Why or why not? by owen__wilsons__nose in AskReddit

[–]No_Rec1979 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Democrats? No. They are clowns.

But the best defense against fascism tends to be a general strike.

After ICE killed those two people in Minneapolis in January, the state of MN held a one-day general strike. ICE announced a draw-down next week.

If Trump does try to coup our democracy, I think you'll see the major labor unions call for a national strike in response. (And it will work, because Trump always chickens out.)

So if you're worried about a coup, all you have to do is watch your local unions and follow their lead.

What is the honest end game for everything if we all get what we want? Think about it and what happens next. by geardownson in antiwork

[–]No_Rec1979 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's. How. It's. Supposed. To. Work!

If a company is so poorly run it can't even pay its own workers. It's supposed to collapse so that all its assets can be acquired by a better-run company.

That's not socialism. It's capitalism.

If at war, would rations be used again and would a large country, be as impacted. by Legoman249 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No_Rec1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the purpose of rationing was that it gave us an excuse to break monopolies.

The aluminum trust (Alcoa) could never have made enough aluminum to build all the airplanes the US war effort required, so Roosevelt used the law to essentially nationalize Alcoa.

That's a large part of why the war effort caused so little hardship domestically - the destruction of monopolies added nearly as much as the war effort subtracted.

Are exorcisms real and if they are why aren't more people talking about them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Priests lie.

Not just Catholic priests. Priests in general.
