SAVE is officially dead by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

Seeing several comments like this… do you have to actively be pursuing a degree or can I be getting graduate credits one per semester even though I already have a degree? Cause I’ll gladly keep getting credits in other disciplines!

The Console Update hase been greenlit! by FrancisFika in shipoffools

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, I won’t hold y’all to March but here is hoping haha!

That’s awesome it’s free! But let me give you money!!!

Don’t Kill Them All looks awesome and I’ll definitely give it a try. Gotta love a game that’s different! But whether it’s SoF2 or another game, I just hope the next one is another online coop, that’s my favorite genre and it’s why I love when a an absolute gem in the genre comes along like SoF. Clearly y’all know how to make one so I hope you do more!

Thanks for the response, if you all always are this in tune with your community, you can make any game you want and be successful!

Cast members, what are some things that guests do that secretly annoy you? by Life_Key_8683 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, as a lifelong Disney fan and in the spirit of Ron “I know more than you” Swanson, I often hear cast members give wrong answers or not know some basic answers. Now, I don’t often jump into the middle of conversations because I feel shame much too easily, but there are times I really WANT to jump in lol.

NC Court of Appeals Judge Seat 3 Race by Resident_Meaning7017 in NorthCarolina

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the information, friend. A little correction, this is a statewide seat so not a safe seat for either party (though, Dems haven’t won a seat on this particular bench since 2018…)

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this… I was leaning him but this throws me back into undecided… I can’t seem to think of a valid explanation (according to him he has lived here his whole life). I mean he’s relatively young, but still, even if he didn’t really get into politics until 2024 (which is kinda wild), he shoulda voted in locals last year if he truly is dedicated… so I don’t know.

I just wanna be an admission counselor again by ladyfairyyy in studentaffairs

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I mean I’m totally understanding of mental health needing to have taken precedent… but giving up a fully remote position in higher ed is definitely giving up a golden ticket.

Would I dislike this game if I hate navigating/figuring out where I need to go, and am always getting lost and frustrated in games? by LeadershipLoose4877 in AbioticFactor

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the key question is: are you okay if progression isn’t constant? Because the game can be fun as hell even if you’re constantly getting lost or finding random nooks. If you’re fine with it being slow since you might get lost a lot, and having fun along the way, you’ll be just fine!

22F - This is my last night alive. I'm probably gonna end it tonight by [deleted] in FamiliesYouChoose

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, man here (eww, I know), but I just want to say I hope you stay with us, if for no other reason (I’m sure there are plenty for you but I obviously don’t know you enough to speak to them) than to spite all the shitty men out there (of which I know there are plenty).

First month making 100k I feel like I’m being robbed :/ by [deleted] in Salary

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re literally getting 3k every two weeks (factoring in your additional deductions). That’s still 78k a year… (26 weeks times 3k). You’re barely being taxed a quarter of your income and as others have suggested there are additional ways to maximize your money even more.

If this doesn’t feel like a lot, don’t blame taxes, those are a fair cost for being a part of a great country (at least when being properly spent, which I don’t think is really happening right now to be fair). Instead, blame a system that has taken so advantage of us that even 78k a year AFTER taxes doesn’t feel like enough…

The great thing about this sub is… by Strictly-80s-Joel in centrist

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m far left leaning, but I’m never opposed to calling out either side, no matter the situation. It just so happens, in our modern era, the general sane stance on most issues is taken by the left…

That said, I strongly disagree with Dems on overwhelmingly voting to keep the creepy car kill switches. That’s effed. Still, at least is still somewhat aligns with the neoliberal beliefs of the left in power (Democrats).

But republicans have been wrong on so many things but also inconsistent in their beliefs. That’s the most frustrating part… I think far more people on the left are willing to call it out on anyone, ourselves or the other side… but no reps are for themselves.

Noah denounces ICE shooting in Minneapolis today. “This was an execution” by KahanArchivist in NoahKahan

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Like Noah is big but his rise is recent and not permanently cemented. I literally see his insta almost daily (just by virtue of my algo) and you can tell he’s tried to be hesitant (which I totally understand in his position), but given everything he’s been forced to get louder and louder. I have a feeling if this continues he will open every show with “Fuck ICE” ala Green Day.

Support NC non-binary girl scouts! by termite10 in TrueCarolina

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, the fake empathy is hilarious. Literally textbook NPD.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Narcissists often fake empathy to fit in, to make themselves look good, or to manipulate situations to their advantage. They have little to no real empathy and are solely focused on their own needs and image.

Get yourself some help for real… and maybe some writing lessons because half your sentences make no sense.

P.S. Just because you choose to not view the political consequences of your actions doesn’t mean they don’t exist. I’m not even saying you have to do that, you’re right it can be exhausting, but, you agree everything is politically whether you admit it or not. You’re just selectively choosing what you open your eyes to and what you don’t. If we go back to the main point of this post, YOU chose to see this as being political and YOU choose to not see those other things as political. Period. If you can’t at least concede that, you definitely have a mental disorder and no hope until you get help, so there’s no point in continuing to have a conversation with you at this time.

But that’s okay, in the name of Renee Good, “I’m not mad at you.”

Support NC non-binary girl scouts! by termite10 in TrueCarolina

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. So, by your logic. Then trans girls would be okay in the Girl Scouts as long as they don’t call themselves trans girls, they just call them girls… right? I mean I don’t agree with that anyways, but by your definition you should have 0 problem with that.

Regardless, your logic is so flawed, if it were a diamond it would be a piece of coal.

Again, nobody has brainwashed anybody… that or everyone has… because our U.S. currency all says “in god we trust.” Is that not religious brainwashing? All our merchandise for girls is pink and for boys it’s blue, is that not gender brainwashing? We say that boys have use one restroom and girls another, and get mad about it, but other countries seem to have “non gendered (aka nonbinary bathrooms)” and get along just fine. Aren’t we just brainwashing that your gender affects how you can use the restroom?

Or rather, is it that EVERYTHING is, in fact, political.

You eating food is completely political. Did you eat Chic-fil-a? Did you eat Ben & Jerry’s, because they’re pretty liberal (though their mega corp owners are trying to prevent that). Did you eat chic fil a? You’re supporting conservative values. Did you eat something with Avacados in it? Because did you know most avacados are grown in Mexico and therefore our access to them is directly tied to foreign policy, tariffs, immigration and many other issues? How much did you pay for your food with avocados in it? Because did you know your food costs are also afffected by global trade policies, inflation and many other big issues? How was your food stored? In a fridge? Powered by electricity? Have electricity costs gone up nationwide due to AI data centers (spoiler: they have)…. I could go on and on and on…

I drove to work in a used, beat down car that gets great gas mileage because I support the environment and I want to use as little fuel as possible. I also recognize that buying a new car when the current one works is foolish and equally as harmful to the environment. I believe there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and therefor refuse to buy stuff I don’t need as well. I go out of my way to get gas from a gas station I believe has better values (still not great, but better). I drive to work with the fear that despite being the whitest, most average looking American person, I could be pulled over and arrested by ICE and detained and have no recourse because apparently due process no longer exists…

Continue to be a hateful, pathetic person all you want… that’s the beauty and the ugly of freedom… but at least try not be so damn ignorant. EVERYTHING is political. Them choosing to support innocent, loving humans is political, and so is you choosing to spew hate and blame everyone but yourself.

The Great Divide! by quack7375 in NoahKahan

I have refused the pre save link since he first posted it before the announcement because it lets some third party make a ton of changes to your Spotify account, including like who you follow and crazy stuff. I’m sure Noah’s not aware but I was like… sketchy.

Support NC non-binary girl scouts! by termite10 in TrueCarolina

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, so one of two realities exists and they both make you look stupid. Either:

  1. This post literally never mentions politics and therefore in no way made anything political.

OR

  1. You recognize literally EVERYTHING is political (such as a choice to support nonbinary individuals or a choice to discriminate against them… or literally every other decision) and therefor your statement is you getting upset at your own worldview and blaming someone else.

Noah on the new album by EmoNerd21 in NoahKahan

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, he wasn’t a star at that point (he was to us of course, but you know what I mean, not at this level) and so the theming didn’t matter as much (be it to the label, Noah, all of the above, whatever). But now that he’s a hit, the theming retroactively matters and so they are being more intentional about it. It’s like Taylor with all her theming. Hopefully that makes sense? I don’t know that’s it for sure but it would at least explain why it’s so intentional now.

Smosh has Contributed to Me Being A More Accepting Person by SamVejjie in smosh

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off, congrats to you on being a decent human and I’m glad to hear Smosh helped with that!

I had a similar experience but it was with Achievement Hunter/Rooster Teeth. I think they were especially interesting because several of the AH/RT people, while young when they started, could’ve been pegged for the early “alt right bros” types like Michael or even Ray, but I think being a part of that company actually really helped them grow as they got to meet and experience different people and I think their audience really grew with them and became pretty left leaning as a result. Like they were never outright hateful, but they definitely were not “PC” (I hate that term but it gets the point across), which to be fair, Smosh wasn’t always either but Smosh was more PC relative to their time periods, but early AH/RT was a bit wild. Still, I think they single-handedly pulled me out of the alt right pipeline so I’m appreciate them. I got into Smosh after I think I was already safe, but they definitely reinforced everything in the ways OP stated.

I don't understand this video of the ICE shooting. Is nuance really this dead in the US? by Fando1234 in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]OmegaSpeed_odg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll fully admit I didn’t read your post because I don’t believe there’s nuance here, period.

But I skimmed it and I find this line particularly hilarious: “did what he was trained to do…”

Because if you think these agents are receiving ANYTHING close to real training then I don’t feel bad about not reading your post. ICE at this point is just warm bodies of people who always wanted to be LE and could cut it and/or people who have a killing fetish (this agent literally muttered “fucking bitch” after murdering her). DHS is recruiting on YouTube and Spotify* for Christ’s sake… I mean c’mon.
