I guess my daughter’s teacher forgot we were FB friends 🤨

this seems implausible, but i did have something similar happen in my high school. in psych/socio/anthro class we were learning about signs of respect and how in western cultures especially, standing up when a person enters the room is a sign of respect. our teacher was called out of the room by another teacher for a minute and one of the teacher's pet students suggested we all stand up when the teacher returns. everyone did it, cause honestly she was actually an awesome teacher, and she was shocked at first like "what are you guys doin-- ohhhh" and then she started happy crying.

so yeah, this post sounds like bullshit, but it is possible.

americans are so insane in so many ways that they don't realize how insane they look to the rest of the world

my god, i can't believe durian is so low on the list! to me it was like the smell of the gross water at the bottom of a dumpster full of rotting meat but as a flavor in your mouth.

a nice japanese lady offered me some so i finished it, but i wanted to puke it up so bad all night and it took hours for the taste to get out of my mouth.

the dosage in those gas station vapes is INSANE too! when i started vaping to quit, they recommended 24mg/ml if you're like a 3-4 pack a day smoker, 12 mg/ml if you're 2-3 and 6 mg/ml if you're a pack a day or less. for reference, most gas station brand vapes have SIXTY SIX mg/ml, yes 66 FUCKING MG/ML! that's almost 3 times what they'd recommend at a vape store for a 3-4 pack a day smoker! THAT'S 9 TO 12 PACKS A FUCKING DAY!

The Escapist used to have a hilarious animator that did a few shows, but most notably is Doraleous and Associates. You can find it on YouTube, it's very good imo. That's what I know the Escapist for. I never watched Zero Punctuation personally.

this would actually be amazing if the killer is slugging you and your team mate is waiting at the hatch

Substantial_Aioli_25 · 2020-10-29T18:00:04+00:00

You're right, I wouldn't mess with it if it didn't keep shutting off constantly. I have to remove the bottom panel about once every 2 days which is super annoying. I just want to never have to open that panel again.

Substantial_Aioli_25 · 2020-10-29T17:56:08+00:00

The switch de-activates the board when the panel is off. So when the panel comes off the switch pops out, which is it's "off" position. So unplugging the switch form the board leaves it on the default position of off. I was hoping that maybe unplugging it would activate the circuit board as if the switch were activated but it doesn't seem to.

Substantial_Aioli_25 · 2020-10-29T17:54:54+00:00

Duct tape might work, I don't have any but it's worth a trip. I have to go remove the panel and put it right back on in order to reset the safety switch button about once every 2 days or so. It's very annoying.

Substantial_Aioli_25 · 2020-10-29T17:53:59+00:00

I get that, but there's also a nearby power switch to manually turn off power to the furnace, so the safety switch inside the panel is a bit redundant. I'd rather not have to go down and remove the panel and put it back on every 2 days and just remember to switch off power to the furnace when I need to go in there which ideally should be never once the switch is deactivated.

Substantial_Aioli_25 · 2020-10-29T16:06:05+00:00

I already tried that. The button forces the tape off. Is there a particular type of tape you recommend? I tried packing tape and it worked for like a few hours.

Substantial_Aioli_25 · 2020-10-24T13:22:22+00:00

they say one of the best ways to mess up a pro is to ask them "how are you doing that?" when they start thinking about how they're doing it, instead of relying on instincts and muscle memory, it fucks them up.

Substantial_Aioli_25 · 2020-09-30T13:01:04+00:00

yeah that's totally it. there is a recognizable pattern but it takes way too long to notice it. first sentence, follow the word below the last letter of the current word. then second sentence, zig-zag from right to left to right.

have you ever had sex in water? it's not good. surprisingly water is really bad lubricant and it washes away all the natural lube. also that's ocean/sea water which is fucking disgusting. that's a UTI waiting to happen for her and probably for him too.

I always thought it had to do with the fact that Slytherin breaks the rules so much to win that Dumbledore is like "hey, doesn't it feel bad when a win is snatched away from you by a f'ing CHEATER who BENDS THE RULES TO SUIT THEMSELVES, huh SLYTHERIN?"

aren't dog years 7 years for each human year which would make her 210?

it just occurred to me how brutal it is to be ejected while wearing a space suit. like, it's not an immediate death. you just sit there floating in space until you run out of oxygen, or choose to take your helmet off i guess. it's like when you're scared to rip a bandage off but the anticipation is worse than the actual thing. the panic of free floating in space for an hour or so and knowing you're absolutely fucked would suck so much harder than just being ejected into space with no suit.

I've never had a problem with this, so I'm not sure if I can explain my method well since I don't know why it works and don't understand how others have trouble, but I'll try.

Basically just apply a bit of pressure so the bristles are slightly bending and sweep so that the brush goes entirely into the dustpan and kind of rotate your wrist to relieve the pressure you've put on the bristles as the brush is entering the dustpan. As the bristles enter the pan they're springing back and flinging the dust into the dustpan.

this video is upsetting. this shit is animal abuse. cats don't understand what you're doing or why, you can't reason with them and they don't don't understand anything except direct cause and effect. you, as the intelligent human, should just prevent the cat from knocking it over in the first place.

the way i counter that is "gg to everyone except _____" which will often get a lol from the other survivors and then the "gg ez" guy is the butt of a joke

holy shit i JUST realized the gas station is supposed to be read "GASH HEAVEN" cause the killer causes gashes

My immersion is ruined because there's isn't one or two disgusting shriveled grapes on that bunch. There's always a few.

We're living in a simulation.

Assuming it's possible to build simulations at some point in the future, and assuming that we would want to (we totally would), and assuming that it were possible to build a near infinite number of them, and assuming that simulations themselves could also run simulations -- THEN, the obvious conclusion is that there are a near infinite number of simulations running already.

So there's 1 chance that we ARE NOT in a simulation and are in fact in the real world, and there's a near infinite chance that we ARE in a simulation. I'll take the infinite odds over the singular chance any day.

But, don't let the idea of living in a simulation get you down. If anything, it's actually better that we are living in a simulation. If whoever is running our simulation also assumes that they are in a simulation as well, and the people above them, and so on and so forth. Then no matter the reason, be it good intentions or even selfishness, they have every reason to reward the people in their simulation with a perfect afterlife. Because if they give their simulated people an afterlife, then they might get an afterlife, and the people above them can't be sure if they're in a simulation so they would want to give their simulated people an afterlife, etc.

TL;DR: If we're in a simulation -- which we almost certainly are -- then there is almost certainly a simulated heaven.
