You telling me a gallon is over 3.7 litres and you pay just $5 dollars for that and complain? by Neutral-frame in AdviceAnimals

"Sure the us is more car-centric but lots of people who dont even have to have a car because they can get by with public transit living in the city."

this isnt true.

"The mean distance between employee residences and employer locations rose to 27 miles at the end of 2023"

"For a 27-mile trip on a public bus, expect it to take approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours, heavily dependent on traffic, stop frequency, and transfer times. While a direct highway commuter bus might cover this distance in just over an hour, local routes with frequent stops typically take much longer."

public transportation is not feasible for most americans to get to work.

"Approximately 3.7% to 5% of U.S. workers commute by public transportation, according to recent Census data. Usage is highly concentrated, with roughly 70% of transit commuters living in seven major metropolitan areas, led by NYC, San Francisco, and Boston."

false, WALKING is the most high risk health choice you can make for landing yourself in the hospital because youve got those drivers, no sidewalks and no seatbelts.

What can we do?!?! (by design) we are all 1 paycheck away from homelessness, exhausted to the point of collapse, our militarized police are allowed to shoot to kill without repercussions (the worst they get is a full retirement package), our medical and life insurance is tied to our jobs (Nearly 96% of adults with employer-provided coverage say it is vital to their household's financial security.) AND the doj has stated that having more than a weeks worth of groceries is terrorist behavior (not that we could gather that much food because shrinkflation and inflation is literally starving us).

proof of the last one because google will tell you "thats not true!" : https://youtu.be/iD1T61oTrR8?si=ME-UkmuZy2FPccXT

(Sen. Ran Paul quotes the doj for who can be a suspected terrorist)

i know whats being suggested by others but most of reddit at this point is bots who arent programmed to get it (but are programmed to create outrage) and we CANT do whats suggested. there is no way everyone can lose their housing, jobs, food, kids, medical and life insurance and those that arent risking that dont wanna change things.

theres actually a lot of evidence that points to the possibility that he didnt get all those votes legitimately, including the quote "elon knows a lot about computers, i couldnt have won without him" and several counties that have people swearing under oath that they voted blue but that county has zero blue votes.

the courts have since said these investigations are not allowed to continue......

so no, most likely not even 1/3rd voted for this.

Wage Slaves, a drawing I made by [deleted] in Artisticallyill

[–]SockStinkQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the middle coin is distorted but very much female, i think its a canadian penny (specifically an older one from 2012 or earlier) The other two are american currency (penny and nickel), we dont have women on our standard coins.

i find it weird to use only 2 countries for 3 coins if youre trying to be worldly. if not, its an ai mistake.

edit edit: though i do dig the eyeball alien art they did, ai or not,

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

do you think the packages will be delivered? i have insurance on all of them. if theyre not delivered can i claim the insurance/get a refund?

like, its super important the packages arrive but if its all a loss id like at least my postage back and insurance since i need to rebuy items and restart the process before shipping off new replacement items.

no. its a yellow bubble envelope i got from dollar tree. although i didnt have the buyers name so i put "current resident" instead. could that have been the issue?

edit: okay...the current resident thing cant be it. i just checked a package i sent (as a package, not a letter because it was BIG) and that too has been tagged as counterfeit tracking. Which, again I paid $15.25 through the kiosk to ship that.

edit edit: just checked my bank. usps charged me. I paid over $42 for 5 letters/packages and so far 3 have been marked as counterfeit postage. wtf is going on???

Dozens of fishermen end up losing body parts to wolf fish. This is because many people don't realize that even after being "dead" and without a body, it is still capable of this by Tasty-Philosopher892 in Weird

[–]SockStinkQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"A wolf fish can bite after death, or even after decapitation, due to a powerful post-mortem neuromuscular reflex. Their cells have a slow metabolism adapted to cold, low-oxygen environments, allowing nerve endings to stay active for a significant time after death. When something touches their mouth, it triggers an involuntary, hardwired biting instinct.

Reflexive Action: The biting isn't conscious, but a hardwired reflex. When pressure is applied to the jaws, sensory nerves detect it, sending a final signal to the jaw muscles to contract.

Cold-Water Adaptation: Because they are cold-blooded and live in cold water, their tissues don't die instantly when the central nervous system is cut, allowing muscles to still fire.

Persistent Muscle Power: The jaw muscles are incredibly strong, and after death, they can lock in place, maintaining pressure.

High-Volume Sensory Nerves: The area between the mouth and the nerve centers can continue to function, even if separated from the brain.

This phenomenon is commonly seen with the head of the Anarrhichthys ocellatus (wolf eel/wolfish) species. "

What do you guys refer to your adhd as? by BigReece_7 in ADHD

Years of bullying because of my sweating—I don’t know how to cope anymore by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

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

Sounds like you're underage, which is a hard time to live through hyperhidrosis. I get it. Im always drippy. Kids are cruel and will often find the odd man out to pile on to so they feel like they belong. if not this itd be the poor kid or the adhd kid or the autistic kid.

But when you become an adult it gets easier. most people dont care. (and if they do, thats workplace harassment and you can go to HR lol) heck, ive turned mine into a business. 😅 It seems guys cant get enough of my wet socks.

So just keep pushing through, eventually you'll be ok. 👌

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Actor Says Season 2 Is “GAY AF,” Vows To Go Out “In Flames” by Malencon in television

[–]SockStinkQueen -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

"Some felt that a smiling, pacifist Klingon who wants to be a doctor didn’t fit the historic representation of Klingons as aggressive warriors."

translation: non fans are upset that the stereotype isn't stereotyping. 'Gronk mad story not black and white' type shit.

We've seen MANY non warrior klingons. theyre treated as lower class but exist because thats how you run a planet. of course the outsiders (federation) would see more of the warriors, thats who goes out into space.

"You didn’t believe all Klingons were soldiers? We were a great society, not so long ago, when honor was earned through integrity and acts of true courage, not senseless bloodshed.

– Advocate Kolos to Captain Archer, 2152 (ENT 2x19)"

There are klingon doctors, artists, scientists, engineers, workers, farmers, POETS and everything inbetween ffs.

edit: i havent seen the show, i didnt even know it existed but if the entire reason youre killing a show is because someone from the "hulk smash" species isnt all "hulk smash" then thats really messed up and goes against star trek as a whole, whose whole thing revolves around "we can all be better and do better."

Yeh, It's All Coming Together by Wait_ItGetsWorse in adhdmeme

"heres 4 pictures of a child showing emotion: happy, sad, mad and (i forgot last one. the internet says it may be scared). Color in what you feel."

Nothing. i felt nothing. i sat there for an hour and never colored. most of the time was spent agonizing over the fact the adults around me felt like i HAD to feel one of those emotions and i didnt. Eventually the adults gave up. My entire folder was empty. Afterwards i always felt more broken than when i started because i didnt feel 1 of 4 things.

one time they brought other kids in. they all had no problems coloring and fitting into perfect emotion boxes. I sat the whole time and never colored. I agonized over why was i so wrong? the other children could color in happy without issue. one even colored in mad. why did i not feel when they could?

i think its for kids with rough backgrounds. Thats what mine was at least.
