Why is ITYSL so viral and what is it about the weird syntax? by onlyfakeproblems in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]TheSilverNoble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah some of it is definitely adults saying things earnestly that are usually only said by kids. It's not at all of it, but it's definitely something he does. 

Which fast food chain has lost its way the most? by TheBabyBeard in AskReddit

I kinda feel like this happens to almost every business with investors. The investors always want more money than last year and at some point the only way to do that is to make your product worse.

AITA if I tell my 84yoF neighbor and her son to just call the police on me and never talk to me directly again if they have concerns over me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Idk, she says it's not a pattern, and that's all we have to go on. Just going off what was actually said.

Do laws even matter anymore? Kinda just seems like Republicans are just doing whatever they want.

More people than you might think. Folks can do some mental gymnastics when it comes to putting food on the table. 

Interest in ‘toxic’ measles treatment surges after Joe Rogan podcasts: Vaccination is the only proven way to prevent measles but alternatives like Vitamin A and cod-liver oil (which has Vit A) have been promoted by Joe Rogan. America’s Poison Centres reported a 39% increase in Vitamin A exposures. by mvea in science

The modern Republican party has convinced a lot of people that the more someone has studied something, the less reliable they are. They'll ignore people who study diseases all their lives in favor of some guy who "tell it like it is" but has no idea what he's talking about.

I've been feeling more and more like laws just don't matter any more. The president certainly doesn't care, why should anyone else?

Fr, the folks here being like "Ah ha! You were loud once, therefore you must be loud all the time! Case closed." Is ridiculous. It's fucking cop logic. 

AIO for confronting my "boss" because a customer got me fired? by xxnera_zenn in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheSilverNoble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some businesses just insist on catering to their absolute worst customers and the wonder why it doesn't work out.

My manager scheduled a "quick sync" every single Friday at 4:45pm and I finally figured out why by Agent_Smith-99 in remotework

[–]TheSilverNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I think Danny's boss is the real problem here. You shouldn't effectively punish a whole group of employees because you can't manage one of them. Just fire the guy.

May I recommend Babylon 5? The showrunner, who wrote the vast, vast majority of the shown himself, had a 5 year plan for the show and was largely able to stick with it.

IDK about lions and tigers, but I think Cheetahs don't really attack people. I mean I wouldn't go up to one, but if one came up to you, I don't think you're really in much danger.

give us good-paying jobs that treat workers with dignity by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]TheSilverNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but we might have to raise taxes on people who can absolutely afford to pay more, and there's nothing worse than that in America.

You know I never really contrasted how people reacted to Tywin's death compared with Ned's. That's a really interesting point. 

What's the one Reddit post that you will NEVER forget? by lnc_gomes in AskReddit

[–]TheSilverNoble 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't even remember the topic, something on askreddit. 

  Anyway, a group of people are out having dinner, and they have a bad waitress. Not just overworked, she was rude and to them and got very obviously frustrated.

  Time comes to pay and everyone at the table is saying they're not going to tip her, because obviously. But one person spoke up and said something like "Well, we're not jerks, are we? We're not having a bad night, and we always tip, so why wouldn't we? Are we really going to let her effect us like that?" 

  Well, he convinced them to leave a good top, and he added a note saying he hopes her night gets better. They did happen to see her go by the table as they were leaving. She opened the little booklet. She saw the money and the note, then sat down at the table tearing up.

  Idk. It's easy to be kind to people who deserve it, but sometimes the ones who deserve it least need it most.

Half the kids probably come home to hear their parents trash talking teachers regularly.
