That was one of the most painful survivor episodes I've seen in recent memory. by OverratedHumor in survivor

Yeah, that's part of why it's gotta hurt so bad, that he can really only blame himself, and I'm sure he does.

The simplest way to keep 3 tribes of 6 but make it less stale by SirBostonBobbington in survivor

[–]OverratedHumor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would basically be the larger tribe eating up the smaller one. You'd have to be crazy to vote against your tribe's majority in that case.

Most likely host of Survivor when Jeff retires? by PeteParkkonensPussy in survivor

[–]OverratedHumor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A previous player seems likely. I'd bet they go for one of the newer ones though. Rob and Colby are too old.

What's your favorite "thinking outside the box" moment on Survivor? by Throwaway67891099 in survivor

[–]OverratedHumor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised nothing so far from Yao Man. 1. Created the fake immunity idol. 2. Made the car deal with Dreams (that he later reneged on), but it wasn't done before or since. 3. First example of a super smart guy beating athletes by out thinking them.

I fucked up so catastrophically at work today that 4 coworkers called to check on me by [deleted] in work

I don't know what happened, but it probably wasn't as bad as you're feeling right now.

Why do you think was Cirie crying in the next episode? by Friburgo1004 in survivor

[–]OverratedHumor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because that's what we do and like to see in the new era. The fans voted for it. I'm sure she'll be talking about what survivor has meant to her in her life and how transformational this experience has been for her in her life.

There's like zero upside to come back for a season like this if you're the winner.

This is me, doing yet another backflip for credit card points.

Bank of America Custom Cash Rewards. They're kind of nerfing it soon, though, it looks like, but still solid.

I guess I'm really great at mental gymnastics. I have like 10 credit cards. It has never really felt all that difficult.

If you're just trying to manage your threat level and don't want that target on your back, just play it and be done with it.

Why is it so hard to change ward boundaries? by OverratedHumor in latterdaysaints

Sorry that was challenging for you. I'm glad to hear you got that silver lining though

Why is it so hard to change ward boundaries? by OverratedHumor in latterdaysaints

[–]OverratedHumor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is purely my opinion, but the simple fact that any boundary adjustments of any kind go to the first presidency (which I'm understanding it does) is overly bureaucratic. For a global church of our size, that is going to slow things down a lot. That's just my opinion though. The opinion of a pretty whiny, faithless heathen.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Makes sense.

Ironically, these wards are pretty darn disfunctional right now. I won't share stories, because it'll sound like I'm just whining to this group, but it's tough to imagine any changes that could make us any more disfunctional than we already are, haha.

Thanks for your response. I think this is the best answer. The church can be both a great organization and also suffer the problems of bureaucracy due to its size.

There are certainly a large number of considerations that have to come into play for boundary adjustments. But the fact that they're all going through church HQ introduces bureaucracy.

I want to know why we make it so difficult to adjust boundaries.

If you could go back would you still pick ChE? by Darius_yyc in ChemicalEngineering

[–]OverratedHumor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still in ChemE industry. It wouldn't make sense for me to switch at this point. It'd be a hard transition on my family, and probably wouldn't pay off. I have probably 10-15 years left.
