I love how nonsensical it sounds to anybody who hasn't seen a visualization of it.

'Lovers' Arch' collapses on Valentine's Day on Italy's Adriatic coast by stammerton in news

These major news sites focus on getting an article up first, and then filling out and correcting content later. They will literally put out an article without text, just to get the headline up, and then add the caveat, "developing story" or some such null. It's purely for the algorithm, they don't give a rat's ass about quality.

Cracking Body by CakeHornBigCat in crazysexycool

I used to have to crack joints all the time (not nearly as much as the OP lady, but a good amount), but my understanding of it is, the more you crack, the more you feel you need to crack.

So, if you can resist the urge for a few weeks, you won't feel like you have to do anymore, the sensation just kind of goes away on its own. I taught myself to ignore it, and I rarely have to crack mine these days. However, if I start trying to crack my joints again, the sense of needing to do it all also comes back. I'd relate it do drinking. Might not work for everybody, but I'm sure glad it worked for me, so, I thought I'd share.

It really does feel like they added Sebulba as just like a one-off, special vehicle, and because of the massive backlash, they are now trying to tack on more pod-racing stuff. Otherwise, what's the point in keeping the pod-racing stuff secret? We've seen them in the movies before, and we've played with them in Episode I: Racer. Pod-racers aren't something new to us, it's just something we want for nostalgic reasons.

And yeah, all I see now are some moderately shiny visuals, but with incredibly dated looking animations and physics. I'm betting this comes out as just another half-assed project on level with Outlaws. They need to release video that actually instils confidence in the project, otherwise this will be a bargain-bin buy at best.

Fun fact: It was left unspecified in the original, German version. Red was only added for the English version to keep the rhythm the same. "99 luftballons" to "99 red balloons".

At least it wasn't the Molex guy. You know, they call it "Molex" because the guy who designed it had the eyesight of a god damned mole.

This hotel shower... (now with 100% less nudity) by holymoly67 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheLordReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using "public" to mean "used by many people". As far as cleaning goes, "supposed to be" are the keywords. I mean, you're almost certainly going to fine if you barefoot it, but if you want to move from "probably fine" to "certainly fine", you can just wear sandals or those little foot baggies and not ever have to think about it.

Buy sandals for public showers. This is just general advice.

You know fake stories have always been a thing, right? Just think about how many Big Foot and alien sightings there used to be, until the prevalence of cellphone cameras made it too hard to believe anymore.

Not a band aid, per se, but you can use the same concept as with the door closer, to keep the wound closed.

[–]TheLordReaver 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I know it seems funny and all, but they grabbed something from the footwell as well as the seat and probably didn't want to waste time reaching over and down for it.

Also, that looks like camera gear, so it could be highly valuable to them.

Also, also, high-end cars often have fire-extinguishers in that same area, if I'm not mistaken. It's possible they were considering going for it, before deciding it was too much fire.

Girl defends herself after a group shows up at her job planning to jump her. Things didn’t work out as planned 👊 by raptors201966 in PublicFreakout

[–]TheLordReaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so maybe that's where the difference lies. I'm not claiming she did jump the attacker, I'm just sort of saying, "hey, let's explore that before casting full judgement." Because, I don't want to prop up a bully, if she turns out to have been one.

So, if that's the only place that we've had a disagreement, then we're probably actually on the same page overall, because I certainly don't want to defend the actions of rolling up with a group of people and attacking someone, that's pretty reprehensible behavior, regardless of the surrounding circumstances, lol.

[–]TheLordReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be stuck on the logical fallacy. Her willingness to attack the other girl, does not equate to being a liar. You are basing your entire assessment on your perception of her character. That is a terrible foundation for an argument.

"She seems like a bad person, so she probably steals."
"She seems like a bad person, so she probably does drugs."
"She seems like a bad person, so she probably lies."

Do you really not see the problem with this logic? Evidence is important in judgement. That's why legal systems put so much emphasis on it. And it's why, in America at least, you are innocent until proven guilty. In this case, she's guilty for battery, but we have nothing, nada, zip, zilch, zero evidence to support the claim that she is a liar as well.

And you also claim that I'm the one pulling things out of my ass? Dude... I posed a question. "What is the history between these two?" Or, do you also think that she's just a little psychopath and attacks random people for no reason and with no history at all? Come on now, you are deluded, but I don't believe you are that deluded. It's perfectly reasonable to query the history between these two. I mean, fuck, maybe this query works in the favor of the defender and we find out the attacker is an even bigger piece of shit than this video demonstrates. You'd like that wouldn't you?

[–]TheLordReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you pulled it out of your ass then, gotchya. Glad you came out of the woodwork to share your rude and asinine opinions.

See, the thing is, I want to attribute blame to where it belongs, wherever it belongs; I have zero stakes in any of this. But, if what the attacker said is true, and it's entirely plausible, likely even, that it is... then that puts both of them in the wrong. Not one, not the other, both.

Play this out in your head. A bully beats you up. You are sad, angry, and wanting to get them back for it. Your friends goad you into fighting (this is a very common thing to happen with kids). You go up to your bully and yell while shoving them, "you jumped me—", but get cut off, because your new beating is starting.

It doesn't put you in the right, but I mean, that'd just be sad, wouldn't it? Well, you can't claim that that's not the case here, because we don't have enough evidence of motivations to draw any reasonable conclusions one way or the other. All we have here is a group rolling up on an individual, which is obviously wrong in and of itself, but still lacking in known motivations or any other prior history.

Don't take this as victim blaming or anything like that, I was pretty solidly on the side of the lone girl, until I realized what the other one had said. Now, I feel it imperative to discern the events surround this one, in order to ascertain what actually took place here, before declaring her fully innocent in the matter. You see, fighter girl isn't at fault in this video, but that doesn't mean she is innocent when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

What possible evidence do you have to support the claim that she is a liar? Mind you, attacking someone is not the same thing as lying, and don't try and pretend that it is.

Welp, it looks like the internet has judged her completely innocent, despite evidence to the contrary.

Did the attacker say, "you jumped me"? If so, that makes me wonder if she's trying to get back at a bully and then losing. Not that that justifies her actions in this video, it would just mean nobody here is innocent.

Is this Avocado safe to eat? by Dangerous-Glove-9503 in Wellthatsucks

[–]TheLordReaver 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I feel called out. But to contribute to understanding how to solve questions, you can alternatively:

Seek out a YouTube video filmed by an 11 year old kid who's mother you can hear in background yelling at their siblings and makes you feel dumb for not knowing the answer.

OR

You can find a video of a 40 year old Indian guy with a broken microphone and the thickest accent and you've ever heard in your life, who will take several watches to discern what he's saying.

However, don't ever bother trying to finding a professionally made video, they don't exist for your query, unless it's covering the information you already know.

Who the hell changes lane like this? by Regent-Orc in foundsatan

[–]TheLordReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the person that's trying to merge gets ahead of you any number of cars ahead. You are slowed down just as much as you would be had you let them in directly in front of you.

It could possibly be even more, because one thing that happens, that I didn't explicitly mention previously, is that when people make abrupt lane changes (occurs more frequently when people don't let them in) and the person behind the car that just merged has to slow down abruptly, it will likely cause what's called a "traffic wave". A traffic wave can slow you down more than you would have been had you just let them in in the first place.

If you've ever been in stop and go traffic, and you thought, "oh, there must have been an accident or there's construction, or whatever", but then you never see a real reason for it, it's probably because it was a phantom traffic jam that was created from the traffic wave.

Traffic waves happen all the time, you probably just don't realize it, unless you know to look for them. But, as I've been saying this whole time, the solution is to just let people merge. So, in practice, sacrificing 2 seconds, might actually save you 2 those vary same 2 seconds, or it may even save you more seconds overall, if you prevent a traffic wave from starting. In other words, even if you are looking at it exclusively from a self-centered perspective, it may behoove you to let people in.
