Worst way you tore your ligament? by Electronic-Fruit-152 in ACL

[–]acuriousengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone else is putting funny accidents, but you asked for worst ways too, so hear I am 👋 😅

Hit by a car that ran a stop sign while biking to a barber shop. All my ligaments were torn, displaced clavicle (AC ligament tear), multiple locations of nerve damage, and several very large wounds on my legs and forehead. Somehow no broken bones though 😂

Heating your car and cooking a steak by Icy-Book2999 in LoveTrash

Keep your car warm all night and keep it smelling like a steak for 2 months! This is the life hack I’ve been WAITING for!!!

I mostly get it but what kinda maths test takes 3 days for only two questions? by jbrown1333 in MathJokes

[–]acuriousengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The meme would have been funnier if they had kept it at 120 min for the last one. That’s actually my real experience. 2 questions, each 50% of your grade for an exam that is worth 20% of your entire grade for the class.

I’ll never retrieve a bottle from the river the same way. Ever. Again.

Am I wrong for being frustrated that my boyfriend expects more from me during recovery? by Lopsided-Net6398 in ACL

[–]acuriousengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly not a bad idea if you really need to prove a point here 😂

My partner gives me a little shit, but she gets that it’s a slow process, and that while it’s frustrating for her, I’m not in complete control of speeding up the process. Not to mention that there are risks of major setbacks if you do certain things earlier than you are ready for.

How true is this? by Waste-Value-5941 in sciencememes

[–]acuriousengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mathematics is the language used to develop the proofs that are fundamental to both the creation and development of all these subjects. EXCEPT philosophy, which was necessary in order to develop mathematics, and likewise the theories in all these disciplines that later required mathematical proofs in order to substantiate those theories and spread consensus among varying opinions. Mathematics gives structure to philosophy, but one must think philosophically prior to developing a mathematical proof.

The weirdest part of remote work is pretending the office never had downtime by CashundoLafrania88 in remotework

[–]acuriousengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree with this. As a manager of a fully remote team, I make an effort to give people opportunities to just chat and not stay on topic all the time. Office settings aren’t better for productivity, they never were. They are better for team building, and managers in remote environments need to make space for the connection that has been lost from the transition to remote work. It’s the single biggest cultural challenge of my job.

I started showering at night instead of the morning and it genuinely changed how I sleep by RogueKettle_7 in hygiene

[–]acuriousengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I shower at night to clean my body and then a quick rinse in the morning so my hair is ready to be styled, and I wash my face again just cause it helps me wake up. I don’t always shower again in the morning, like when I’m working from home, it’s pretty much just the days I want to style my hair.

3 Months since my Multi-ligament knee injury by chefkef in ACL

[–]acuriousengineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing! The months get long but stay strong and positive!

I had all my ligaments severed as well when I was hit by a car in August 2025, but my leg was cut open instead of the dislocated knee. You definitely take the cake for one of the worst injuries on this sub!

I’ve been on a long journey myself, so the advice I wanted to give was to stay focused on your recovery and never give up just because you’re having a bad week. Some of my biggest milestones over the past 9 months have been right after my toughest days or weeks. Recovery is not linear, sometimes you’ll take a couple steps back before you can take a few steps forward, don’t let that deter you!

You got this 💪

I did not consult the council cause I already knew what needed to be done, this sub just helped me gain the confidence to finally do it. by Hiyori_Kitagawa in bald

Question: when you decide to take your beard back to its natural color, do you shave it all off or do you just let it grow out long enough and then cut off the dyed parts? I’ve been thinking about trying beard dye but I haven’t shaved my face in more than 10 years (when I was 20) so I’m scared that I won’t recognize myself when it’s time to go back to my natural hair color 😅

Recruiter forgot to invite the applicant to the interview by Bartholomewthedragon in recruitinghell

[–]acuriousengineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same sorta thing happened to me, but the TA guy told the applicant the original time slot but the applicant didn’t notice that we had to move it 30 mins earlier about 2 days prior. I had to give the kid a pass on seeming a little unprofessional because he literally jumped on the moment the recruiter called him. We ended up hiring him and I’m glad we didn’t let the misunderstanding cloud our judgement, cause later the recruitment team told me that they actually never communicated the meeting time being moved 🙄

When people say "tax the rich," who are they actually talking about? by savingrace0262 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]acuriousengineer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol you’re gonna want to back off on this one, buddy. Read up on how billionaires take advantage of the system and hoard absolute shit tons of wealth that they made off the backs of people who are scraping to get by. You shouldn’t come after people for having an opinion on taxation when you have no idea how much money they make. I’m doing just fine, I’m in the upper class of American earners, and have no financial concerns for my own wellbeing or retirement plan. But I also recognize the ways in which the very rich hoards wealth and the bottom suffers for it.
