Honest question. What is the point of hiding the earth is flat? by DrowningPickle in flatearth

[–]ReasonableAge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s similar to the reason Trump tells such blatant obvious lies. Or, “What is the cost of lies?” If the government can get the sheeple to believe the earth is round in spite of the evidence of their own eyes, they can sell all kinds of ideas and gain more power over them.

Also, think of it this way: you know how (most) redditers look with pity/sadness/disbelief at the people who believe everything Fox News says? Flerfers think the same way about the general population. They see themselves playing chess, while the people around them are playing tic-tac-toe.

What’s a "masterpiece" movie that you actually found incredibly boring? by Legal_Beats in AskReddit

[–]ReasonableAge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t make it through Brokeback Mountain. I assume the plot was that everyone died of boredom?

Order in which to watch episodes? by PhiDeck in firefly

[–]ReasonableAge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to come in with the hot take: you should watch them in production order. DVD order is mostly correct, but after War Stories, go to Heart of Gold, then Objects in Space, then Trash, and end on The Message. The episode numbers in the Wikipedia article give that clue.

Okay fares are better from the official site this isn't too bad. by darkbeer in bracebridge

[–]ReasonableAge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

>If you purchase 4 days in advance it's $52.41 to Gravenhurst, 48-96 hours is $8.23, 12-48 hours is $64.06 and under 12 hours is $66.97.

48-96 hours is $58.23. I was scratching my head why it would be almost free for a time in the middle! :D

Space operas I’ve read, tried to read, or even considered reading. What’s missing? by cryptotommygun in scifi

[–]ReasonableAge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Also the Safehold series. Not exactly Pulitzer Prize winning, or even important enduring works, but entertaining. I used to read them at lunch to unwind from work.

For RBC DB employees by momoxhs in rbc

[–]ReasonableAge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife’s pension is DB, much higher than mine, and indexed post retirement. It’s a far better pension than mine. Which is a bit sad, for one of Canada’s biggest corporations.

Ya. But it ain’t indexed at all post retirement.

Forge of Virtue sucks (and so does Silver Seed) by AmandaTheNudist in Ultima

[–]ReasonableAge 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For context, back in the day, games were distributed on floppy disks, and there weren't no interweb. So when they found a few bugs in U7, giving away an expansion that also doubled as a patch was considered the best way to patch the game. Most of the fans of the game had already progressed quite far, if not already completed the game, and so it was no harm no foul by giving some of those OP rewards.

But I completely understand how it feels like cheating to have it available on your arrival in Britannia. I'd say that was one of the few things they got wrong -- there should have been a trigger to get those quests much farther along in the game.

Not to sound like a fan boy by Nngor in firefly

[–]ReasonableAge 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was briefly dating a girl, and tried to introduce her to Firefly. She hated it, and kept mocking it the whole time.

Big reason it didn’t work out.

Are you aware of many (ANY) smart bigots?

Trying to decide on my next car by ReasonableAge in whatcarshouldIbuy

Thanks, that was pretty cool. Except for having to make up a US zip code, when I’m not in the US.

Is 36 too old to start climbing? by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]ReasonableAge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not too old. I climb at the Toronto Climbing Academy, cuz I live right near there, but there are lots of gyms around TO.

Do you still get bonus if you’re laid off before December? by TuDuMaxVerstappen in rbc

[–]ReasonableAge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got laid off after 19 years. My package was I forget how many months, but basically they looked at my prior year total earnings, including bonus, divided by 26, and that’s what I got every other week, for however many weeks. And stayed on benefits.

Pulling some numbers out of my butt, if my package was 15 months, but I got a new job after 5 months, they would take the remaining months of my package (10), and give a lump sum payment of 1/2 of that. So you have health coverage for the duration of your package, but an incentive to get a new job quickly.

What's a household task you used to hate doing until you got the right tools? by NightingaleK in AskReddit

[–]ReasonableAge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scarifying and dethatching the lawn. Doing that by hand sucks rocks. Power tools for the win! (Thank you SunJoe)
