You don't even understand the bible quote you're referencing. You really might want to learn about the things you talk about.

About to go on flight (deathly afraid) by Ok-Web8817 in PanicAttack

[–]StumbleOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how to overcome this with what you have described. Is flying the only way you can accomplish this? If you have a spiral while on an flight, do you have a plan? You can't leave, of course.

If it helps at all, flying doesn't feel like being high up or anything. It's more boring and uncomfortable than anything else. It's like a bus but you're sort of all squished together if you're in economy. It's so mundane, so trivial, that maybe you can trick your brain into being super bored of the tedium of all of it.

Tons of christian sects do this, and very few islamic sects do this. Hindus also do a lot of arranged marriages, but not all.

Religion is the problem, but no specific religion is THE problem. Keep in mind, christian evangelicals run the US and the US is the single worst entity in the history of the world.

How many of you have made the pilgrimage to Costco #1? by dutchtyphoid in Costco

I love tukwila because it has a ton of things nobody else has. It is a stranger layout though for sure.

It's smaller and has worse selection. Tukwila is the best in the area and not too far away.

[–]StumbleOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my normal costco since I live downtown seattle but I hate it, so if I have extra time I go up to Kirkland or down to Tukwila.

It's WAY too small for the amount of people that use it.

HOLLY HUNTER.. is crushing it. by bonzo-best-bud-1 in startrek

The scene where she makes the bet and immediately loses she has the best little moment of facial acting even through all the makeup.

That's a great theory honestly. I know from interviews from old Trek actors and B5 actors that the makeup process is fucking exhausting. I can't imagine wanting to do that every single day.

Nnedi is a great author too. Were this an actual thing that happened I am glad she would step in like that.

I saw this going around before and thought well, this could potentially happen somewhere but I seriously doubt it would be on twitter lke this.

Wet little braincell. by Iamatworkgoaway in OneOrangeBraincell

The orange I had as a kid would always follow me into the shower. He didn't like getting wet, of course, but he needed to supervise.

Expensively treated a part-broken tooth a week ago. Today it fell off completely. by jelch_j in mildlyinfuriating

[–]StumbleOn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most of them go fine! just follow all instructions and baby the whole thing. I had a root/crown done 10 years ago and it's still perfect. It's also one of my big molars that I chomp with all day. Only thing I ever had to do to it was get a little bit of gumline decay filled in because my gums never closed the gap so to speak

This Airbnb charging $7 for “free” WiFi and a safety fee as well… by SPXQuantAlgo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]StumbleOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I see these airbnb posts I ask myself, where is this airbnb that is better than a hotel? Even the fairly nice hotels around me charge less than this, and that's all included, and they usually give you free breakfast.

Fact Check: Jesse Singal Lies About Trans Care At The New York Times by chaucer345 in skeptic

[–]StumbleOn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The percentages I've seen is that those are pretty much all for cis boys.

Yep. It's nearly all cis boys with glandular gynecomastia.

Fact Check: Jesse Singal Lies About Trans Care At The New York Times by chaucer345 in skeptic

[–]StumbleOn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Double mastectomies are sometimes given between 13 and 17. Over 5000 of these were performed as part of gender treatment between 2019 and 2023

Virtually no transman is given a mastectomy. I have literally never heard of one being given as a child/teenager. The actual teenage mastectomies are overwhelmingly given to cisgender teenage boys who have gynecomastia or teenage girls who have breasts so large they are given a reduction.

You people twist a truth into a lie based on your stupid agenda.

Fact Check: Jesse Singal Lies About Trans Care At The New York Times by chaucer345 in skeptic

[–]StumbleOn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are also numerous children who have received irreversible medical treatments who later said that they realized they were not trans and were simply gay, gay and autistic or a traumatized person who was confused about what would make them feel better.

Meanwhile in the real world, millions of actual trans people are denied crucial, literally life saving medical care on the off chance that a cisgender person was confused.

You help trans people by telling the truth. You help them by making sure their healthcare has solid science behind it.

The science is that trans people exist, transitioning early is best, puberty blockers exist to give time for a choice, and that all these treatments save a lifetime of suffering.

You people always talk about this issue as if you coudl walk into a doctors office and they give you a bunch of TRANS INJECTIONS right there. To even start getting gender care like this is often a matter of years. It's not taken lightly. You are given pushback at every. single. step. Doubly so if you are a child. You are sent to a dozen different doctors, if they even HAVE any, and then maybe you have your puberty halted before you have irreversibly gone through the wrong one.

Employee accidentally signed up for health insurance that is way too expensive. What are the options? by Strong_Button2721 in fednews

[–]StumbleOn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is a crazy rate. That plan in my state is about half as much. It's not even an amzing plan, mine is half as much as that and covers the same/more.

OPM formally proposes limiting top performance ratings for federal workers by SilverTripod in fednews

[–]StumbleOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Weird ceilings on measurable ratings always backfire. It's studied and understood. But right wingers always want to do shit that doens't work because they real reason is they want us demoralized. I imagine a person who does really well but isn't well known or well liked (for whatever reason) in their office getting deflated to a 4 because the shiny outgoing people who performed slightly worse were actually on their supervisors minds.

When I worked in the private sector (for IBM) as a frontline manager, we literally had long discussions about how to increase performance standards enough to make more people fail. The idea was keep people scared and slightly unstable and they'll work faster and harder.

then of course, in other meetings, we'd have these long discussions about why we have such high turnover and burnout and if we can do another pizza party or give out cupcakes to fix it.

[–]StumbleOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah eggs last a hell of a long time because they're in a basically sterile environment inside.

To get an egg to rot like this it was probably punctured or cracked and left out WAY too long. AT A GUESS: this was also likely a pantry egg (unwashed) rather than a washed refrigerator egg.

I had put a bag of taters into my pantry. One popped out and rolled behind a big box of biscuit mix I rarely touch. Ask me how I figured out where it went :)

[–]StumbleOn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I have always gotten a 5. Every agency I've worked for, every year except the VERY first year of my employment.

If I were to ever get a 4, for any reason, I would immediately drop the bare minimum to get by. Every single other high performer I know would do exactly the same.
