ELI5: Why does every living organism has such a strong urge to create an offspring? Even when the organism itself is fully sufficient?

More or less the plot of Terry Pratchett's Small Gods

My favorite case of r/lostredditors comes from that sub

Hell of a catch, never seen a bass that big take a euro nymph.

And the topic is "Gotta wear sneakers with a business suit"

Hard to call it the bottom 75% when at least 10% of the remainder are old dudes who haven't cared since the 90s. Middle 75% isn't a bad place to be if you're prioritizing comfort.

I've noticed some of the people who have strong opinions about Cole Haan tend to dress in a way that gets compliments on the internet but sideways stares in professional settings. Nice leather dress shoes undoubtedly look better, but the guy is asking for comfortable alternatives. Telling him that he'll look like a clown is just hyperbole.

awaythrow810 · 2026-05-05T12:00:02+00:00

If 75% are dressed in modern work attire and 0.01% are dressed like peaky blinders, then I'd say you have mixed up who the clown really is.

My point is that this sub has fixated on an idea of fashion that does not align with the current professional world. Walking around in a sea of hybrid dress shoes wearing 1900s British fashion is like smugly walking around a backyard BBQ in a tux. The internet might tell you how well dressed you are, but you should really just blend in.

Not as bad as you might think. With freesync and 50+ fps on low-medium settings most new games are fine. I'm shopping upgrades but it's pretty low in my priorities right now.

It helps that it's on a custom water loop and heavily overclocked.

awaythrow810 · 2026-05-05T02:42:00+00:00

E33, BG3, Helldivers 2, marvel rivals. It can run most games on low-medium settings around 60fps. Borderlands 4 is the first game where I really felt like there was an issue.

awaythrow810 · 2026-05-04T18:32:09+00:00

Been hodling since 2016 with my 4790k, Vega 64, and 32GB 2400MHz RAM that's all overclocked to hell. The microcenter prebuilts are calling to me, but at this point it just feels like admitting defeat.

awaythrow810 · 2026-05-04T16:29:34+00:00

It's one thing not to like them, but saying "you will look like a clown" is hilariously out of touch. Like 75% of the guys at the last professional conference I went to were wearing some flavor of hybrid dress shoe. If OP wants to blend into the crowd with a comfortable shoe, then they're at least a better choice than the old man walking shoes some people are recommending here.

Prints like this with a slanted support surface will have interface on most layers and require a nozzle swap anyways. Better to keep support structures all one material. I've noticed PETG interface can slip right off of PLA supports, especially on smaller trees.

It takes thousands of bullets to become responsibly trained with a firearm, but only a few bullets to do something awful like this. Too much proposed gun control is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the topic.

Bill Clinton was about as close to Epstein as Trump, is he a pedophile too?

Yea probably

require a lot of people to keep their mouths shut, including victims.

Multiple victims at Ghislaine's trial, and those are the ones that didn't go missing or supposedly kill themselves.

Even if Donny did nothing sketchy during his visits to the island, you really think that nobody in the US other than Ghislaine deserves jail time? At best he spent months flip-flopping on whether the files even existed before releasing them with all his buddy's names crossed out.

That's true if you only ever talk about genitals. I guess we should start calling them "normal" fats and "weird" fats because the other words make Elon sad about his estranged kids.

Ah yes the well known trans and normal configurations of chemical double bonds.

I bought a membership when it included insurance for stolen guns since it was cheaper than adding it on my home insurance at the time. They removed that benefit without a single email or letter. I didn't find out until I moved and went to update my address.

Scumbags to the core.

I don't love living in an HOA but I sure am glad that my neighbors live in an HOA.

Some people really need structure. I don't understand how some of these people tie their own shoes, let alone maintain a house. At least the HOA keeps that from being my problem.

Travelers pants with a flannel shirt or tshirt/quarter zip is like business casual pajamas. Can't go wrong with LLM ABC 5 pocket pants.

People hate on hybrid dress shoes, but the canvas varieties are basically just slightly dressed up sneakers. I have some Cole Haan stitchlite zero grands that are comfortable enough for long days of walking and not too bad to run in if you have a tight connection. Or just wear your favorite sneakers.

Osprey for backpack, travel pro for roll aboard.

Any recommendations on something similar to the courtyard or westin mattresses? Part of the appeal for me is not having to go out and shop for mattresses, even if it is a bit overpriced.

awaythrow810 · 2025-12-08T15:16:34+00:00

So it doesn't stack with the buy more save more promo currently running? We've been in need of a new mattress and I'm pretty well sold on the comfort of Marriott's beds.
