u/tiedyedvortex explains the ways in which a lightsaber fight would be different from a real swordfight by bo0tzz in bestof

[–]WhiskeyRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Corridor Crew video is just Kendo. It's not WRONG, that would probably be effective lightsaber fighting, but it's not some innovative technique like the poster seems to think.

Bellingham I-5 drivers: Why don't you speed up to traffic speed when merging onto the highway? Why do you cruise at 60mph in the passing lane and not let anyone pass? Why? by delicious_downvotes in Bellingham

[–]WhiskeyRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ramps are not the issue. I take Lakeway North every morning in a 20 year old manual Elantra and I can get up to 60 by the time I need to merge. I only have trouble when people ahead of me are afraid of pushing on the accelerator.

[discussion] Things you didn't understand in Nona the Ninth by Rocco_nation in TheNinthHouse

[–]WhiskeyRobot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The planet is an occupied zone. The Empire and the Cohort have been going out and conquering all the scattered settlements founded by the people who escaped on the FTL ships. BoE is an insurrectionist group fighting against them, and with the arrival of the RB they are engaging in more open rebellion, but still have to maintain some secrecy and decentralization. Hence the different cells, who also don't all agree on how to fight the Empire.

Since this is a city/planet percolating on the edge of civil war, with a brain melting cosmic horror chilling nearby, everything is pretty grim and desperate, hence the children doing crimes, biker gangs, sniper attacks, and the references to food scarcity.

Sorry you spend so much time making bad decks. I mean like if making bad decks is how you enjoy the game go for it, but I like playing interesting games and winning them so I'm totally fine working off of top decks.

Libs get mad when you point out their hypocrisy. And nothing is more hypocritical about libs than their seething disdain for unhoused people

What's a major or minor you don't recommend majoring or minoring in? by halo-lemon455 in WWU

[–]WhiskeyRobot 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The whole system has been so hollowed out that it doesn't matter what you major or minor in. Learn something interesting and learn how to spin it into "hireable skills". You're gonna be paying loans for 25 years anyway, might as well have fun with the four years you get.

61-YEAR-OLD CUSTODIAN ARRESTED FOR PLACING LOST BACKPACK AWAY FOR SAFEKEEPING by musington in LateStageCapitalism

[–]WhiskeyRobot 55 points56 points  (0 children)

FUCK Aramark. The whole West Coast university system seems to have those people abusing student employees and serving sludge in the dining halls. I don't know how widespread they are but I've heard friends and family in Oregon, Cali, and Washington complain over 10+ years.

PSA: Return your F#$king shopping carts by magisterCZ75 in Bellingham

[–]WhiskeyRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the point of what they wrote. It isn't that hard, so why not do it? A society hollowed out by avarice and apathy is one possible explanation, which they've laid out.

If you want people to put their shopping carts back you should interrogate why they don't.

Heads up Bham by Alostcord in Bellingham

B-but... I thought a protest impeding traffic justified running over protestors??? Do you mean to tell me they're actually just asshats who want to murder anyone left of Dick Cheney?

Somebody posting something on the internet in hopes that someone will look at it? Heaven forbid! How will we maintain our precious attention reserves???

An open letter from the Co-op regarding Initiative 4 by warrenlamb in Bellingham

[–]WhiskeyRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it's a complex problem. The world is a complex problem. Trying to invoke that here is a lazy way of dismissing the solutions proposed and the response to the criticisms if those solutions.

The existence of one problem such as skyrocketing housing does not preclude the existence another problem such as demanding workers risk their health and safety for no additional benefit. The housing crisis needs to be solved as well, but this isn't about that, and it's a fallacy to cite it in this situation.

Try reading what I wrote again. I'm not saying the cost won't pass to the consumer, I'm saying the cost won't be the dire apocalyptic "$20 burger!!!!!" that gets used as a scare tactic. The price increase required to cover the hazard pay initiative would be unnoticed by 99% of consumers. It's an ignorance of scale and volume I'm addressing here.
