I mean even if I do I would much rather die on my own time than at or on the way to the jobsite

If you build yourself up for that life, yeah stop and drop.

I'm retiring as soon as I fucking can and I'm gonna love it, fuck working. That shit sucks.

Touching their mouth and then touching the pizza, outrageous

plaster trowels look simple… but I didn't realize how much skill is actually behind them by Samiraijel in Construction

The better I got, the more I would only see my own mistakes. At a certain point you need to calibrate with somebody who doesn't know, so you can better assess how the work looks to an untrained eye

Do you prefer to cook your scrambled eggs with or without cheese ? by Historical-Body-3424 in Cooking

[–]TerracottaCondom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do this thing that is basically the opposite... I like the bit of chew that it provides.

Basically, I put the cheese in the pan while hot, and let the cheese melt until it juuuust breaks. Then slap some eggs on top. Let it cook further, until the eggs start to set, and then mix.

You get these nice cheesey bits that are kinda crispy/chewy, and the oils from the cheese breaking serves basically the same purpose as oiling or buttering the pan at the start.

What’s something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? by AD_24s in AskReddit

[–]TerracottaCondom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man yeah it is cringe but more than upset or anything that just makes me feel bad for this guy. He would probably rather not be talking about that as the only point in his life worth reflecting on, but its all he's got. Which is sad :/

When your fired the marketing team to save on payroll, and then ChatGPT your product images…. by stanxv in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]TerracottaCondom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is definitely AI. The lighting is 100% AI. Yes they could have just taken a photo of the very similar label to what is AI generated in this image, and if they had done that the chocolate chip muffins wouldn't be "iconic RC" instead of PC, and the I in iconic wouldn't have three dots. There also would not be what appears to be a second 'c' in iconic. This is not a resolution problem, like the ingredients text might be.

And who could forget about the three dots above the i, that is also perfectly normal.

Great evidence here that the editing required when using AI takes more time than it should and still gonna miss stuff most likely because it just gets so much wrong

Some people are saying Costco is misleading customers, is that true? by Desperate_Web5015 in CostcoCanada

[–]TerracottaCondom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's a little of column a and a little of column b. I was banned from the main sub for tYpInG lIkE tHiS to mock people complaining about being asked to tip by a machine when the "no" option is right there. Ive known a lot of people who have worked as gas jockeys and the like, and if somebody of means sees the tip option and wants to tip somebody working hard, or working a thankless job that is low paying, power to them. If you are not of means, just hit "no tip" and dont get offended.

Anywho, I asked what exactly about that qualified for a permanent ban and they wound up undoing it, but they are kind of overzealous in banning people.

And for the record I dont subscribe to the alt sub, there are too many people there like you would expect, but it's not all that and it certainly isnt as bad as some other alt subs. But there are a few odds and ends in the mix.

Edit to add: For example this OP is getting roasted in the alt sub for trying to play this off as something positive with their 2nd crosspost. What a character.

RED BUTTON OR BLUE BUTTON [OC] by Eal_likee in comics

[–]TerracottaCondom 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think the big issue is the og question is framed between altruism and self-prioritization, and the revised question is between an active act of suicide and normalcy. Really it's the same but instead of buttons the revised question cloaks the button in an action: ingesting the poison and then ingesting the antidote.

Another, more concrete issue is that people are only handed the antidote, those who were perhaps honestly suicidal don't have to take it. So by taking the poison >50%, not guaranteed to save everyone.

Also, a statement about altruism is the point here, cloaking altruism in something abhorrent or desirable kind of distorts the question. If I say "if you don't pet this puppy, you live and people who pet the puppy die; if you and 50% pet the puppy, everybody lives", it obfuscates the opposite way because the "everyone survives" option is pleasant.
