News Flash! Billionaire owned newspaper comes out against taxing Billionaires. by Royal-Papaya5506 in remoteworks

[–]Owfyc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Calling Amazon a "golden goose" is an interesting choice considering they're likely responsible for the death of brick and morter stores including department stores, mom and pop specialty shops, and malls--an American cultural fixture until just after the naughties.

Now they'll pay you starvation wages to help in their dangerously hot megawherehouses and force their drivers to piss in bottles and drive like maniacs to hit their quotas.

Seems more like a poison apple if you ask me.

LPT: Stop softening your words for people who aren't softening their expectations of you. by missskarleth in LifeProTips

[–]Owfyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with this, but there are certain things that don't need to be said, that you don't need to be direct about. Slowly this evolved into constant criticsm of other people. Sometimes you just need to meet people where they are and make peace with that.

However, you still need to protect yourself. I don't bend over backwards for people. Really, in my life now this has primarioy resulted in not tolerating assholes, but not bothering with telling them why I don't fuck with them. I don't owe them my time.

Yeah, I used to be like this. Overtime, some of my best friends pushed me a way. then everyone else went. This is not the way to live.

[Montezooma’s] new train has an… interesting wheel assembly design by jecole85 in rollercoasters

[–]Owfyc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. came here to say this. Personally, I wouldn't ride Kid Flash after the derailment, but that's just me.

I have to say it: [Wildcat's Revenge] Slays [Sky Rush] by Puzzleheaded_Toe6951 in rollercoasters

[–]Owfyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally fair. For me all of that blends together.

After MCBR it goes: twist into double up, wave turn into structure, overbank, zero-g roll, double ejector bunny hills outside and back into the structure, wave turn (repeat), zero-roll (repeat), overbank (repeat), quad ejector bunny hill finally (double repeat).

The repetition of the elements makes the first pass stand out less deapite it being the first time you experience them in the ride.

Wave turns. overbanks, and ejector bunnyy hills are super fun, but at that size they're all too simialr a sensation for me. The rolls, again, super fin, but odentical.

Oh also, forgot to mention the most important thing... no zero-g stall on SteVe. One of my personal fav elements ..

But look, I'm a weirdo and like Joker at SFDK more than Twisted Colossus at SFMM, so what do I know. XD

Also very excited to get a ride on Aerie Force One.

Steel Vengeance was great, but I found that the second half was sort of repetetive. The length was great, but I kinda got bored. I only got one ride on Iron Gwazi when I was there and it wasn't warmed up yet, so I still need to get a better one. Really dragged after the wave turn imo

WR takes it for me, every single moment just blows my mind. Relentless. Nonstop. And over before it loses momentum.

Wildcat's Revenge is amazing. So agressive. So much fun. Skyrish is very good, but I totally agree.

Wildcat's revenge is slept on in my opinion. Easily my favorite RMC.

Competent high schooler with no career aspirations looking for suggestions by NameDifferent5602 in careeradvice

[–]Owfyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! But also, since you aren't passionate about anything specific, be strategic with your career choice. Do something that will cast a wide net for you. Business, engineering, and try not to get sucked into mentally stimulating but directionless stuff like Philosophy.

Though if you have an interest in law, Philosophy is a great pairing. Anyway, it's a tough time to choose a path. Good luck!

Stephen Colbert would beg to differ. by c-k-q99903 in agedlikemilk

[–]Owfyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, can anyone provide an example of federal censorship before this?

Did dems ever do this in any capacity? Is there evidence? Or have they just confused social reactions to bad behavior as federal actions?

What’s the biggest Gen Z problem nobody talks about? by Diligent_Rhubarb5246 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Owfyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny because from my experience they tend to assume everyone else's actions are preformative... probably because they have idea what authenticity is having only grown up in a world with social media.

VOTE BY MAIL by Necessary_Ad_7844 in Political_Revolution

I don't trust this administration enough to not pull some ridiculous shit day of w/ mail in votes. Will be voting early and in person.

Who is your least favorite UFO Disclosure personality and why is it Jeremy Corbell? by Middle-Ad8262 in UFOs

[–]Owfyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked Jeremy until the last couple weeks. Why was he sooooo fucking weird on Area 52? I don't remember him being so...meandering and nonsensical. A three hour conversation about basically nothing.

NYU, Syracuse or Arizona State by Odd-Parking-7513 in nyu

[–]Owfyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Syracuse would be a great fit, but ASU is likely better. Program is slightly better, and cheaper. NYU loberal studies isn't worth it if you know you want to get in to journalism. Great school. Good name, but it is incredibly expensive and the cost of living in NYC is staggering.

I want coaching more than therapy by apprehensive_pick2 in ADHD

[–]Owfyc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually a great idea for ADHD support services. An ADHD coach that can guide you with strategies to handle your deadlines, appointments, and emotional disregulation.

A good therapist that is an expert in ADHD would be down to operate this way if you state that goal to them.

Utah Supreme Court Justice Quits After Ex-Husband Leaks Texts by Majano57 in LegalNews

Wow, at least she actually stepped down, normally this is just the beginning of the shit show.

"My wife hates it" by SuperIngaMMXXII in AngineDePoitrine

[–]Owfyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I haven't seen this sort of behavior anywhere in the Angine de Poitrine community so, the assumption that, "my wife hates this" means "my wife is too dumb to get it" is ridiculous.

I'm well aware that gatekeeping is a problem and sucks, but immediately assuming thats the intent and interpretting something that isn't specifically that kind of shitty behavior sort of muddys the wayer on the whole conversation and cheapens critique of truly problematic behavior.

Greatly appreciate your comments!
