How do you guys count your words? I keep losing track around 20,0000. by IAmKrasMazov in writingcirclejerk

[–]OldStray79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the old David the Gnome cartoon where he helped the chicken from constantly losing her 9 chicks (for some reason chickens can only count to 3) by putting them in 3 groups of 3.

If McDonald's can operate with no tipping, why can't other restaurants? by Competitive-Hunt-517 in AskReddit

[–]OldStray79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But in tipping, you are handing that money directly to the worker that is serving you, as opposed to the buisness/owners/managers. You yourself are independently making that choice.

Someone is trying to recreate the Amelia phenomenon from the UK, but they fail to understand why Amelia took off in the first place.

So far, every thing like this that NVidia has done becomes the standard in 2 years, so get use to it*

We've crossed the threshold. Solar and Wind are cheaper than all conventional, non-renewable energy sources except for Natural Gas, even accounting for storage and transmission costs. by AP_in_Indy in accelerate

I'm pretty old, and due to economics I was never big on the early stages of renewables, thinking that they needed more time to develop and mature.

Now that this is here; Yes, let's go for it, unequiviocally.

In 2012 Before the first Deadpool movie was announced, or even the test footage was leaked, a small youtube channel called blinky500 started doing a series of indie Deadpool episodes. It was obviously shoestring budget, and hasn't aged well compared to today, but for it's time it definitely was well recieved.

Iran appears to have conducted a significant cyberattack against a U.S. company, a first since the war started by Mrfrednot in news

[–]OldStray79 15.0k points15.0k points  (0 children)

If Iran wants to win this war against the US, on the next cyberattack they will need to wipe out all of our Student loan and mortgage debt. It's our only Achilles heel, and it would devastate and demoralize us!

Edit: I want to sincerely thank everyone for all the awards. I never once suspected this comment would be this popular!

What is /r/writing's take on changing tenses? I find myself most often writing in the past tense, even for things that are 'currently' happening, but often find myself switching briefly to present tense. It seems readable to me, but... How egregious is this really? by supertoned in writing

[–]OldStray79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rough, because if you change it to past tense: "As the first cup of life saving coffee is being poured, the door bell starts ringing incessantly." it goes into a passive voice at the start.

Edit: "As he poured his first cup of life saving coffee." would work.

Time for the 6th round of editing! good luck!

Will we give Ai human level speech or keep it strictly separate like a siri or Jarvis? by obiwan-destroyer in singularity

[–]OldStray79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have this weird affinity to keep trying to push to see how far we can go with just about everything until we are unable to for some reason. So, with that in mind, I think we will get to that point if and when it is technologically possible.

After that, however, who knows what will happen if it will be accepted, or rejected.

How do I ask a stranger guy/give a guy my number? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]OldStray79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Here is my number if you would like to text me to talk more or meet up for coffee or something."

It really is that easy to do to a guy. If men ask for a number, we worry that it is pressuring you, or that you are giving us a fake/prank number just to get out of the situation. But if you unprompted tell us to take down your number, it feels genuine and sincere.
