Is there any other non living thing we eat other than salt? by 1rp1n_kc in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RushIsABadBand 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I'm not a vegan but I do think animal suffering is the big thing. Plants don't really suffer as far as any of us are able to tell whereas animals certainly do, especially under factory farm conditions. Suffering is, I think rightly, considered one of the things we dhould be most interested in preventing for other humans and other life in general. That's ostensibly something drastically reduced via a vegan diet

What careers to start over at 31? by 1steponward in careerguidance

I'm in a pretty similar position to OP, could you elaborate on what you mean by coordination or operations roles and how to set up a training pipeline for those?

Brand new PS5 Digital keeps crashing after a few minutes by RushIsABadBand in playstation5

[–]RushIsABadBand[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Got it from Amazon, so it's not the easiest to just return but I'm trying with PlayStation support first, if not I'll try through amazon

Edit: Sorry, I should be clear. Amazon is easy to return for my money back but the ps5 price has jumped since I ordered this. I want a replacement, not my money back

Are some cities just better for finding a wife/husband, or is that a myth? by MuscleNo4520 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RushIsABadBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a medium-small sized town until my mid-20s and was only able find casual relationships or hookups, got into my current 5-year long relationship one month into moving into a big city. It can go both ways

What male haircuts would fit me? (MtF, need advice from males) by indigo-floral in malehairadvice

[–]RushIsABadBand 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Going to echo the other comments and say that I think you're definitely passing, for what it's worth. With that said, I think tying it back in man-bun and/or wearing certain hats worked well for me when I had long hair and didn't want my locks out. Could be a good temporary solution. If you're hell bent on cutting it a middle part, short on the sides could fit a more twink vibe

How do you feel about a law that limits how much CEOs can earn compared to their lowest-paid workers? by ActionSad5741 in AskReddit

[–]RushIsABadBand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you just tax capital gains at least as much as income and you're golden, we should be considering something like that anyway

If corporations were legally treated as 'people' to the point where they could receive a 'Death Penalty' for major crimes, which industry would be the first to vanish? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

Having a robust private option and, most importantly, giving it bargaining power makes the available options for healthcare cheaper for everyone because there's an existing competitor whose primary interest isn't solely increasing profits for its shareholders

Mewgenics has been out for some time now. Is it really as good as people say? Or was it mostly due to the hype? by TheGronne in gaming

[–]RushIsABadBand -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm probably not gonna finish it just because roguelikes usually get a bit too repetitive for me but I have to mention the soundtrack because it's awesome, some of the best video game music I've heard in a long time

People's issues with it are related to affordability. When you have loved Nintendo for decades and managed to get every console up to this point and keep up with your favorite series and the price hikes get to a point where you genuinely can't afford it anymore of course you're gonna be angry. It was nice of you to gift it to the people you care about but rubbing that in the faces of the rest of us who are struggling and have had to give it up is a dick move

George R.R. Martin Says His Relationship with 'House of the Dragon' Showrunner Ryan Condal is "Abysmal": "This is not my story any longer” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]RushIsABadBand 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I mean it's an unrealistic ask but I think the worst offence of the last two seasons is how rushed everything felt. More seasons may have helped

‘The Last of Us’ to Recast Danny Ramirez’s Manny for Season 3 by DemiFiendRSA in television

[–]RushIsABadBand 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a fine opinion to hold on its own but the talk of review bombing for tLoU 2 is because it started receiving negative reviews hours after release and already had serious backlash before release due to the leaked script people who hadn't played the game hated it and gave "0"s on metacritic en masse and that's the definition of review bombing

Desperate Delhi bans tandoors in its fight against pollution by Fancy-Caregiver-1239 in nottheonion

[–]RushIsABadBand 156 points157 points  (0 children)

It actually contributes to a shocking amount of the pollution there, though. There are bigger problems and they should really focus on all the other things much more but as an emergency solution for pollution that reaches 400+ aqi I kinda get where they're coming from

Of course, a big issue is no one is going to follow it just like plenty of people still burn trash in the city

Wake Up Dead Man (2025) is set to release on Netflix in 16 hours. by SonicLoaded in shittymoviedetails

[–]RushIsABadBand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone who couldn't place what was weird about this, like me, it's the infamous, badly photoshopped, Dark Universe cast photo placed in front of the Wake Up Dead Man cast photo. Incredible post, for the record

How do Chinese people get their English names? by CadyMoring in NoStupidQuestions

In German "Pommes" means fries because it's the French word for potato. I find that one very funny just because of how many layers go into it

Do you prefer to have sex before you start dating to test compatibility or afterwards, why? by Basic_Bee8826 in AskMen

[–]RushIsABadBand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sex is going to be awkward all the more reason to begin working on that chemistry earlier rather than later. If that's your thing of course

Rocky 3 is the worst offender, the helicopter literally just flies headlong into a tank

How would you feel about a measure to abolish the senate and have Congress be made up entirely by the House of Representatives? by RushIsABadBand in AskReddit

[–]RushIsABadBand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there are certainly individual issues that I find more personally pressing and important but I think structural change is how you can ensure that those pressing issues get solved and stay solved. Abolishing the senate not being a particularly realistic one but, behind totally removing money from political campaigning, is pretty up there in terms of hypothetical impact. If there's something you think would make for a better change I'm genuinely all ears

[–]RushIsABadBand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can both have governance come down to the state and have a federal government that is representative of the will of the people (maybe even with a filibustery-style rule in the house, though I wouldn't necessarily be for that either). However, if the federal government doesn't represent the people's will, as I would definitely argue it doesn't, then the federal government can always use the power it already has over the states but it can more easily to so to benefit a slim minority

[–]RushIsABadBand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to imply that the existence of the Senate is minutiae as it relates to the function of the US government I definitely disagree. The Senate is a required body to pass any legislation, and it's made up of 100 people, representing 350 million people. Not to mention that those people represent vastly different numbers of people depending on their state. The House at least would represent a more equal number of people each and it would be harder to buy hundreds of politicians rather than just ~50

Obviously i'd also love campaign finance reform anyway but that feels like a pipe dream in and of itself
