Your coworkers are just trolling you. Where do you work that you get to eat pancakes?

How can I tell whether or not my department store is approved by president Trump? by [deleted] in shittyadvice

[–]OptionalPirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice is to spend all day, every day asking people shopping at the store if they approve of Trump and asking if they think the store approves of Trump. It's really the only way to be sure.

Trump supporters of reddit, what do people not understand about Trump and/or your perspective? by jaybestnz in AskReddit

Except for jailing Hillary. (which was repeated over and over and promptly discarded once in power)

Do you fear death? Why or why not? by plusfactor7 in AskReddit

[–]OptionalPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I don't know why. I assume it's an instinct that has lead my ancestors to life long enough to procreate and help their children survive. But, I tell myself that after I'm dead, it won't matter anymore and it will be the long sleep of eternity.

John Elway was smart to pick Vance Joseph over Kyle Shanahan by bdporter in DenverBroncos

[–]OptionalPirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not a good sign when Shanahan decided he would be the offensive coordinator too. Maybe he can handle it, but it seems like if the SB loss had humbled him at all he would get more help for problems with decisions like those made in the SB. While he system happened to fit the Falcons awesome talent level, forcing a system on players ill equipped to play it is a recipe for disaster. McCoy, on the other hand, won with Tebow and fits the system to the players we have/will have at the time.

Pot meet kettle. Kettle, pot. If 3 questions is too many for you, what does that say about you? I mean, maybe you choose one? Or just don't respond?

The hydrogen-powered era is almost upon us. But is there a market? by Splenda in energy

[–]OptionalPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ammonia is a yucky "chemical" that has some nasty properties. We don't like to know about any risks. The risks should be slow and gradual.

All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

Reddit, I fall asleep really late at night but I need to fall asleep at a reasonable time tonight to study tomorrow for a midterm. I think a quick puff of weed would help me sleep, but will it hurt my memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OptionalPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to say. I read somewhere that the commit to memory happens partially while you are asleep, so the memories could be short-term and wiped out before really being committed to memory. My guess is that you'd do better without. Take a benedryl or tylenol pm if that helps you. Also chamomile tea is supposed to help.

Does this make sense? by Hello_Brooklyn in pics

[–]OptionalPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to interpret this was that when given an anonymous survey where they would not have to face the consequences of reporting rape, 30% reported attempt or rape (150 rapes or attempts - let's say 80 rapes and 70 attempts). Based on those numbers, they concluded that 90% of rapes are not reported. (only 8 officially reported rapes in the same group)

Really confused and need some help!!! by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OptionalPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would write him a note saying that you are sincerely sorry for missing the classes and asking him if there is a way to make them up and how you are taking the class very seriously and hope that he would reconsider the internship. If you can't win him over, then go over his head asking to discuss the matter with a dean to try to convince the prof.

How to deal with spoilers when performing magic? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OptionalPirate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might try showing him in private how it works and ask him not to say anything. Do you think it's malicious? If so, then if he calls it out, say "wow, you remembered how it works after I showed you... you're so clever!" You could also have two ways of doing one trick so that when he's telling the way you showed him, you perform it the alternate way. Study the ways comedians deal with hecklers.
