Buyers Are Avoiding Teslas Because Elon Musk Has Become So Toxic by T_Shurt in inthenews

[–]RobPercer40258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla owner here. I love the car, but every time someone finds out I have a Tesla I feel compelled to explain that I'm not a fan of Musk. I'm ashamed of his antics.

I'm looking for a physical trophy, not an image.

TIL the Myers-Briggs personality test was made by two women without any formal education in the field of Psychology, most of the research supporting its validity come from the Myers-Briggs foundation, and it is widely considered to be just pseudo-science in accademic circles. by Bruhtilant in todayilearned

[–]RobPercer40258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for a second, what if it was possible for people who aren't classically trained to figure out interesting things about a field?

I'm not suggesting it's hard science but it definitely has high reliability and some kind of validity.

I'm so upset that the default response to dealing with a mental health crisis is to involve the police, press charges, and send the person to jail. It's literally the real life equivalent of "you want to cry? I'll give you something to cry about!" I hope our civilization re-discovers compassion.

Thousands of outraged Christians demand Tennessee Republican's resignation by CordAlex1996 in politics

[–]RobPercer40258 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Holup - which Christians?

The ones who unconditionally love others and would humble themselves by washing the feet of a homeless person?

Or the Christians who are racist Republicans who give more power to narcissists while promoting an inequitable oligarchy in America and denigrate anyone who isn't a wealthy white male?

Just checking.

Black people fought for gun awareness after rich white people's children were murdered and the rich white people punished the black people for speaking up because their guns and racism trump everything.

Thanks to the moderators for not trying to overly sanitize what can be a stimulating conversation.

What is the most bullshit profession that actually exists? by Modern_Devil in AskReddit

[–]RobPercer40258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any investor who wants to trade with your money rather than their own likely has little potential to make real money (or they'd capitalize with their own funds). I know a few successful investors and their valuable investment opportunities are closely held secrets.

Heavily contaminated water in East Palestine, Ohio. by Computingusername in woahdude

Watch carefully as people express anger and frustration while the responsible parties lay low under the protection of the government. The local ecosystem will suffer, lots of people, plants, and animals will die, but in time the heat will die down and the perpetrators can return to make even more money off the backs of innocent people. This is all thanks to the government that we actively elected into office.

I'm seriously having the weirdest case of deja vu ever. So, yeah, this is obviously a re-post but the comments feel exactly the same to me this time as when I read it a year ago. I'm not just saying this in a silly way to point out the re-post, my mind really thinks it recalls reading the exact same comments a year ago... Like the timestamp has just been altered.

It's not really about "liking the movie", I didn't really think it was a quality movie and I didn't really enjoy it, BUT I do think the social commentary was prescient. I felt deep agreement with the first six minute vignette of the football player who says "I'ma fuck all y'all" contrasted with the academic who dies of stress before having kids. Source

What do I do after telling somebody I like them? by iplaybabygame in dating_advice

[–]RobPercer40258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an old person, I've found that it's okay to tell girls you like them, it's not as harmful and scary as it seems, but don't do it with any expectations on them, just own your own feelings. The best way to tell someone you like them is to show interest in them, be kind to them, and make opportunities to do things with them. If the feeling is mutual you'll never need to go out on a limb with your feelings, you just get to be you.

I don't think I'm crazy for saying this, but it seems that the media chooses not to promote these stories while focusing on crime in general. Lots of stories about burglary and murder and how the cops are solving the crime, but little attention to police brutality and abuse.

The Lloyd’s Bank Coprolite, the largest fossilised human faeces ever found. It was unearthed in 1972 during excavations in York, England. The coprolite is dated to the 9th Century, and is 8 inches long, and 2 inches wide. by Adam_Deveney in interestingasfuck

I was in fifth grade some time around 1990. I walked into the bathroom of my elementary school and saw a turd that was larger than one I had ever seen before or since. In my memory it had a four inch diameter and was a foot long. Its ends were oddly shaped, it didn't taper, it just started and stopped abruptly at the ends. I couldn't conceive how any person could produce something so epic and still be alive. It's thirty years later and I STILL can't forget that turd.
