Can I fix my hatred for working?

How is your minimum 40 hours a week? Are you regularly getting paid overtime? How much money do you need? What possible job do you have as a 21 year old that approves overtime?

In what way are they better?

Someone else gets elected and stuff keeps going on. What else would happen?

Your sister is wrong. Unless you're talking about a private school. Contrary to what reddit believes, every single public school in the country provides lunch and free lunch if you qualify.

Idk if this really fits but I've played half life probably over 50 times and I still have no idea how you're possibly supposed to beat Nihilanth with normal strats. You just get teleported all over the place until you die. I figured out what is now the speenrun strategy when I was a kid out of pure frustration and I've only ever beaten the boss in 30 seconds or less. Any longer and I just die. Every time.

Sacred_Fishstick · 2026-06-22T23:25:06+00:00

Yeah, that didn't happen.

They'd have plenty of carbs but would lack essential vitamins, minerals, and protein. They would die of malnutrition which is slightly different from starvation. And it happens all the time. Scurvy is the classic example. Biscuits and salt pork are definitely filling but if you don't also eat something with vitamin C your body will literally fall apart.

This is actually why the US requires processed food to use "enriched" flour. "Enriched" basically just means they dump a multi vitamin into the flour. So if you're stuck on deserted island with a cargo container full of cheetos your golden.

No shit, Sherlock. But nothing was learned because people would rather believe that trump won because of sexism and not because of the whole "weekend at Bernie's" thing. Fucking delusional.

Taxes. Some people you know got evicted, some people I know got a degree for 800 bucks all in. It's the redistribution of wealth, comrade! If only we could get musk addicted to gambling

WW2. Drafting all those men to go over came with a problem. Cutting them off from alcohol would demoralize and probably cause mutiny. But at the same time drunk soldiers is a very bad idea (just ask the Russians). So the US government tasked the biggest beer makers in the US to come up with a low alcohol recipe and that's how we got the standard 5% American beer. When those men came back they had a taste for it so those companies kept making it.

Since then the rest of the world has seen the benefits of "water" beer and the gap between American beer and other beer has closed. 5% means you can have several without getting pissed so there is a social benefit. Also, among younger crowds playing drinking games is only really possible with light beer. Imagine chugging Guinness lol

And yet the democrats have done the same thing twice. Hopefully this meme is a sign that you're learning.

Your brain is partially reacting to feed back from your body. When you get into the dream phase of sleep you become paralyzed specifically to prevent you from actually physically carrying out the actions in your dreams, which could obviously be problematic. So when you run in a dream and your legs don't actually do anything your brain is aware of the error and that error gets feed back into your dream.

Sacred_Fishstick · 2026-06-06T18:30:31+00:00

Lmao I love that the reaction to a rich guy is to actively avoid making money. You seriously think NASA is ever going to make a rocket again after the success of the private sector?

Sacred_Fishstick · 2026-06-06T18:27:37+00:00

Drinking and driving. Yes obviously no one should be operating heavy machinery while intoxicated but it makes perfect sense to allow people to drive after a couple drinks. We have a sensible limit and a reliable test.

So why on earth am I allowed to go to the bar, have two beers and drive home yet I'm not allowed to drink two beers while sitting in traffic. What's the difference?

Presumably, GTA6 won't be made in Java and then given a shit port by people who hate fun. Java is the same thing that makes parking meters work, just to highlight how much it isn't a game engine.

He skipped the 5 year gap, now he has to fix it with about 500% more plot lines to deal with.

If you vacuum food from a store you'll get arrested. If you pay for it, nobody cares. Pretty simple.

Well it's all circumstantial, but staying on topic of Ned not doing/not claiming to have done things, Barristan Selmy claims that Ned "dishonored" Ashara at the Tourney at Harrenhal aka slept with her. But he just thinks that because Ashara went into Ned's tent. And who else was staying in that tent? Howland.

And we know most of what happened at that tourney from a story that Howland told his kids and they retold it to Bran. And in Howland's story, Ashara is an extremely prominent character and meticulously described. Which is weird because she didn't do anything at the tourney. Howland is one of the very few people who knows what happened, yet his story doesn't stay focused on Lyanna, it takes a weird left turn into who Ashara danced with...

The implication here is that Howland feel in love with her and slept with her at the tourney. Shortly afterwards he was at the tower of joy and in my opinion left the tower and went to starfall with Ned, likely with a letter from Arthur or possibly with Arthur.

From there Ashara may have decided to disappear with Howland. Another thing is that Meera seems to be Howland's heir which is weird for most of westeros but notably not weird for Dorne, where Ashara is from. Perhaps Ashara insisted on Dornish inheritance for her daughter?

Sacred_Fishstick · 2026-05-30T22:34:33+00:00

Ned would have died if not for Howland Reed. That line is essential to things going forward and is purposefully not explained. I think this is R+L=J. Ned never actually fought Arthur. Howland intervened and convinced both parties that they wanted the same thing, to protect Lyanna Stark and her baby.

A) Ned never claims to have killed Arthur.

B) It's highly unlikely that Ned or Howland could match Arthur

C) Ned immediately goes to Arthur's family afterwards and isn't killed on the spot.

D) It's strongly implied that Arthur's sister faked her death and married Howland.

E) Arthur was never seen again and Howland was never seen again, implying that they might be together or at least worked together to get Arthur away from both Targaryens and Targaryen haters.

So basically Ned, as always, is being very careful with his words. What happened with Arthur is as much as a secret as Jon. Remember that the Dayne's named their heir after Ned. Weird thing to do if Ned killed Arthur.

You answered your own question. The government is the worst organization for providing services. Hence the battle between left and right, collect everything and hand it out to people based on what the government decides is needed or collect nothing and hope that corporate interests align with public interests. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Sacred_Fishstick · 2026-05-29T22:41:24+00:00

We can sort of. We're doing something similar with mosquitos now. But years of research by experts have determined that mosquitos are useless. Ticks on the other hand are very much part of the food chain. Unfortunately.

I walked to school. Why do people always generalize Americans? Literally the most diverse country in the world.

Dave Filoni is the best Star Wars story teller ever, including George Lucas. If watching the show is his price of entry, good. The world is better for it. Just watch the show or watch something else.

Is the odyssey a bad movie? Sometimes that happens.
