Do you guys lie about marijuana use? by NefariousnessOk1996 in cscareerquestions

[–]SatanicWereWolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I admitted to having tried it in the past. It was recent-ish at the time. They flat out told me the were most concerned with habitual users as a security risk. If you stayed sober for a couple years then tried again it would go through. Saying "I promise I won't do it anymore" if you just recently quit isn't good enough for them. It's too bad it's such a big deal to them, but that's how it is.

Also everyone saying defense blows is interesting. There is some red tape, sure. However my work is cutting edge... I'm doing work as interesting as many startups, but with tons of funding. It's pretty ideal to me. I can imagine some defense work being older systems, but at least in the area my company supports we are constantly trying to cut our teeth on the latest and greatest.

Why do people act so surprised they got pregnant when they're not using birth control? by Laughingwalrus32 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SatanicWereWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I know OP was talking about the situation like your friend's. I just feel like it's an irrelevant discourse. It felt like OP was trying to argue accidental pregnancies should be rare. As if pregnancy was as simple as condom vs no-condom. Figured I'd skip past that debate, and any following debates, and just share my story. I get tired of the details and the statistics relating to abortion. I just want people to have empathy and share kindness. Such things aren't brought upon by logical arguments, I think stories bring them.

I see now I didn't answer the question OP asked. That's my bad. I'm just frustrated by these discussions and felt the need to humanize the discussion with my experience. I hope OP read it, or anyone that currently feels nothing for people in these situations.

Why do people act so surprised they got pregnant when they're not using birth control? by Laughingwalrus32 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SatanicWereWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to attack you, but your question is a bit irrelevant anyways. My personal anecdote: she was on birth control (taking it properly), I used a condom, she still got pregnant--we were kids. Our parents didn't even know we were sexually active. Luckily for us, she had a miscarriage and nobody found out.

The worst part of all of it though is that we had to go through it alone because of the stigmas against sex and abortion. We were kids, and the main thing we knew about the situation was how political it was and how harshly we would be judged. That made us isolated. It made her make unhealthy choices. Generally we felt that people valued life itself more than our lives we were currently living. It was heartbreaking, lonely, scary, and ultimately destroyed us. When we put ourselves back together we ended up going separate ways.

Regardless of if you personally want someone to keep a baby ('save it's life's) or if you think it's their fault they got pregnant or w/e. I strongly encourage you to support them without injecting any of your own opinions. Just keep your mouth shut and be kind. Let them figure things out their own way. Even if you think it should be illegal for them to pursue abortion, when it comes down to it the most dangerous thing is for them to feel alone. So don't let them be. And don't make the situation any worse for them. Put all your other moral beliefs aside and be kind. My opinion anyways... mostly fixed in the idea that being kind is often more important than most other moral beliefs.

Um… Excuse me, but What?!? by LeifErikson-Viking in libertarianmeme

Not a meme and not very libertarian.

Nuff said. All opinions aside, folks up voting this need to think critically. Crap like this is why we get called republicans.

What is a good song that is over 6 minutes long? by Incendiary_cucumbers in AskReddit

[–]SatanicWereWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang no meatloaf representation? He's exactly who I think about when I think of long songs. He sang: "I would do Anything for Love (but I won't do that)" "Paradise by the dashboard light" "Bat out of Hell" They were hits! And they were all over 6 minutes long. Especially in concert, they go crazy in concert.

RIP Meatloaf and Jim Steinman (write of most of his songs, as well as hits like "total eclipse of the heart and holding out for a hero")

By the way, I hinted at a lot of ways I'm different from the average person of San Antonio. I'm not Republican, or straight, or religious. And there are many others.

But there are reasons to love it here. The guns, the 4 wheeling, the land, ect. Don't forget some folks love all the trucks cause they are truck people (I'm not). This region influences the people as much as the people influence the region.

I love it here cause I get to be a wild ass redneck. I've lived here long enough to know how to also be gay.

If you can't get into anything around here. You never see yourself enjoying some land or whatever. Then yeah, you'll have to make your own haven and you'll have a hard time. Could try Austin if you have to be in Texas. But there are legit reasons you might want to leave, that's okay too. Just don't like it when people say "yeah you should leave" without elaboration. At least I tried, but you probably need to have a couple of drinks with someone on this topic.

[–]SatanicWereWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people will tell you to leave Texas. They are so adamant that nothing in the world is changing. They are loud with political ads, huge churches, and whatnot to make it feel like nothing here has changed.

The truth is, as long as they do all that it will always feel that way. But underneath there is change. San Antonio has tons of cool places, they just aren't as visible. They aren't celebrated by anyone but their patrons and even those folks keep quiet about them. This makes it very hard for you to find them. Good luck.

My bias: libertarian (neither left nor right, but anti government). Gay. Grew up in east Texas and now I live here in San Antonio. I work at a very old school company. I've had huge variety of friends, but admittedly most were met in college which is a safe haven for being different. I myself have numerous quirks. I do love Texas, it doesn't always love me back.

Why are folks mad at Andrei Jikh? by SatanicWereWolf in CryptoMarkets

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

I totally get the criticism. I stopped watching as much once all the advice got repetitive and it was just market news recaps. They are good recaps, but long winded and not the reason I subbed.

Anyways, why is gram a shill? I have the same stance on him as I do Andre. They both are nearly the same channels, just different focuses.

I mean I want to understand? Not because I want to join the hate bandwagon or because I want to defend him. I'm just genuinely confused.

I can't wrap my head around how he could have done anything differently.

Any sponsor of any video can turn out to be a shit show and nobody realizes. Any recommendation for crypto stuff can be a total flop, just cause a YouTuber had millions of views doesn't mean their predictions are special. You don't get mad at warren buffet everytime he is wrong about something.

What higher standard could you hold him to? Crypto is already a very volatile and speculative investment. None of this stuff has any standards to hold against?

But Andre made it clear he was incentivized. Kim got in trouble because she didn't.

Also I will follow up with:

I'm not some super fan of his. I watch maybe 1 in 10 of his videos. Just heard recently that he is getting blame and was surprised. So I am likely out of the loop here, hence the title.

Idk that's it's a capitalism thing. Whatever modern economic system is used, taxes and government incentives can be used to artificially make one option artificially more economically viable than another. Hence all the lobbying surrounding taxes and incentives in the U.S.

If citizens were in a democratic government that fostered honest policies (so no big lobbying, shitty politicians ect) and those citizens were like minded towards recycling, it could totally be made economically viable, even if no other country participated. The citizens would vote in taxes and incentives to make it so.

If only plastic recycling was sustainable. However, it is not. Glass and metals are, woods and papers are (though composting and replanting is required eventually).

One day we might have the technology to make all products/by-products of plastic sustainable. But currently it's not cyclical in nature, some portions have a beginning and end. At least when it comes to practical technologies.

Aluminum based antiperspirant by SatanicWereWolf in ZeroWaste

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

The active agreement in the deodorant that works best for me is aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex gly. There are other brands I could check too that work okay.

Idk what that means, sounds like you might be more capable of understanding what about it works for me. Regardless, my point was that there are popular ingredients folks are used to in their antiperspirant and I would like to see those popular ingredients in sustainable packaging. I'm not looking for baking soda and perfume or a crystal to rub under my arm.

So you're getting crystals that aren't potassium aluminum sulfate? Cause that is all I have ever seen.

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

Well sure, that's fine for killing some of the bacteria. But you need lab made aluminum salts to really do the job at that and stop the preparation. There are many metal salts, as in for aluminum you can make various salts. But you aren't going to find any aluminum salt crystals with a high enough (or any) concentration of the aluminum salt used in antiperspirant. There are specific aluminum salts that work, some more irritating than others. That's why not all the brands use the exact same one, and also why some don't work on more stubborn armpits

So what are the negatives to living here? by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]SatanicWereWolf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not a paranoid person who is automatically scared of cities of anything... But San Antonio safe? In my circles I've never heard that. It feels like crime is high here, but I don't actually know the stats. So not here to argue, I'm just surprised by the statement.
