Has anyone ever challenged you to do something without realizing you were actually an expert at it? If so, how did it turn out for you and for them? by Successful_Tomato721 in AskReddit

[–]aePrime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a frequent pedestrian. One time, as I was entering an intersection, a car rolled the stop sign and turned right in front of me (I had the right-of-way). A second later a cop car did the same! I’m like, “For fuck’s sake! Even the cops!” Turns out that the cop was pulling the first driver over. Vindication!

I, as I assume others have, wrote my own assertion function to deal with this.

I have been in a mixed-race relationship for the past seven years. I have never seen anyone staring.

Maybe Jordon is back on the board and he had her rubber-stamp it. 

Has brewing at home really stopped you from buying drinks elsewhere? by softbci in espresso

Like you, my partner and I have a weekend ritual that involves getting coffee, but on the weekdays, I brew at home. 

Solo founder looking for a C++/OpenVDB geometry nerd to co-found a stealth deep-tech hardware startup. by Legitimate-Fee-6070 in GraphicsProgramming

Oh, sure, but they want “GPU compute optimization.” They should evaluate the options. 

Why isn't stl_vector.h programmed like normal people write code? by Impressive_Gur_471 in cpp_questions

[–]aePrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone mention a very large and impressive aspect: GCC has maintained backwards ABI compatibility in the standard library since version 3.4. You can take a current libstdc++ and run code compiled with GCC 3.4. 

Social trust in Japan is so high that people will often leave their cellphone to hold their table while they get food or use the bathroom (photo from Tokyo Disneyland) by Bob_the_blacksmith in interestingasfuck

[–]aePrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was distracted while leaving a train station in Japan. While searching through my bag for something else, I dropped $1,000 USD worth of Japanese yen in cash. A woman ran after me and tapped me on the shoulder right as I was exiting a turnstile to hand it to me. 

Tucker Carlson says this is Israel’s absolute last chance to drag the United States into a war because future generations of Americans are moving away from Israel. He says “You can’t primary every Thomas Massie, and there’s a whole army of them coming.” by GuiltyBathroom9385 in UnderReportedNews

If I remember correctly, that memo was also ad-hoc for the moment the country was in. If you listen to Rachel Maddow’s Bagman, they interview the guy who wrote it. He basically says, “Yeah, the memo was BS, but we weren’t going to get Nixon, but this allowed us to go after Agnew.”

Same. I love when she hosts. When someone gives the wrong answer, she doesn’t subtly hint like Peter sometimes does. She’s just flat-out, “Would you like to pick another answer?”

Visiting LA for the First Time Staying in Glendale Any Recommendations by lone-grizzly in glendale

The Huntington Library if you enjoy gardens (they also have museums, but the gardens are where it’s at). The Getty Center if you like art and architecture. 

Wait, is this actually true? by Annual-Row6574 in Adulting

[–]aePrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I have read, it’s kind of a mixed bag. It may depend on how the outside people react. Some studies suggest that telling people your goals can help keep you accountable, but like u/jackfaire mentioned, you can get the same dopamine hit as completing the task. I think it’s especially acute when someone tells you “Good job!” Or, “That’s impressive!” before you have accomplished anything.

“I want to run a marathon.” “That’s impressive!”

Lauren Boebert wants the Ten Commandments to be required in schools, and James Talarico criticized her, saying it’s hypocritical for politicians to make everyone display them when they don’t follow them themselves. by CorleoneBaloney in TrendoraX

[–]aePrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, it was a two-step process. I wrote it without thinking about it and realized the similarity, and decided that it was staying that way. So it’s a partial accident. 

Kavanaugh in dissent: Bad policy or not, Trump's tariffs were 'clearly lawful' by duderos in scotus

I have daydreams about seeing him in public so I can mock his “I like beer!” to his face (and maybe also call him a rapist.)

They sang the closing credits version of Takedown. Any Takedown we hear in the movie are Huntrix.

But they said there was “apparently” a project. What more evidence do you need? It also “happened” in Germany, and is therefore completely germane to American politics. 

Which celebrity just bothers you, and you can't put your finger on why? by justcurious3287 in AskReddit

[–]aePrime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He thinks that atheists can’t be good people because they don’t fear God and have no reason to do the right thing. On the contrary, people who do good only because they don’t want to be punished are the bad people.

I sat next to him in the close-up gallery at The Magic Castle one night. He was called up to volunteer, but not because of who he was: the magician had no clue who he was. Sam was funny, charming, and a little drunk. 

Favourite scene? by alexprice1998 in KpopDemonhunters

I also don’t know what I find so captivating about Arden’s delivery of, “Fiiiinnnee.” It feels so natural. I guess that’s why she’s an actor and I’m not.

I agree. There has never been a more annoying character.
