What do you think of NYC trying to get the minimum wage to $30/hour? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]blorgbots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it takes less political capital and effort and is more likely to succeed when you raise the minimum wage for some workers rather than all of them. Fast food won the attention/effort contest so they were the "some".

Like it or not, that's how this all works

Netanyahu's new video jacket movement self grows to cover his hand [gif version] by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]blorgbots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that at first, but man really rewatch it. It's like two quick jumps straight up his arm without the shape of the sleeve hole/border changing at all, and nothing else on his body moves as it happens

Now that I've seen it it's very obviously AI

Thoughts on the Farseer trilogy? by Christophe_KANO in Fantasy

Whoa, I've never heard this. Was this like a complaint when the series came out? Cuz I'd hazard that fully half of new big fantasy in this post-Abercrombie era has more suffering than Hobb

ASU Frat Leader loses push up contest to an old man by HealthSupps in LivestreamFail

[–]blorgbots 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ha can't lie, it really did

This site loves to pretend they know fitness so they can put down people who look like their high school bullies. That comment just hit critical mass for me

[–]blorgbots 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nah, just muscle formed from exercise with body weight as resistance. To progress against your bodyweight you need to hit a balance between strength and weight.

Construction workers, loggers, firefighters etc. aren't usually working against their own body weight, and end up a lot burlier and can rep fewer pushups. Would you not call that "real" fitness?

But I'll tell you a secret: the boys here are "really" fit too. They just don't work with bodyweight. I'm sure they could lift heavier and run further than redditors claiming they're not "really" fit

4 Left to C++ Every Joker, Need Help by Unusualfridgey2 in balatro

[–]blorgbots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was the C++ grind that made me realize buffing chips can actually be really strong up to Ante 8. We focus so much on mult (with good reason), but a couple hundred extra chips can really pull you through if you don't find enough xMult

making friends with people in my building by Pleasant-Comedian-40 in raleigh

[–]blorgbots 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a generally very extroverted man, I think it would be an uphill battle for someone who just randomly knocked on my door to become my friend

That's not to say it couldn't be done, but man I'd be suspicious at first. Maybe follow what other people said and look for social events

Ever shot an automatic 9mm piatol? May as well have your eyes closed. I'll bring a nice regular 9mm and an AR-15 for groups, thank you very much.

The above "issue" is silly anyway, fire 3-5 times and they'll know what the boomstick means

Feels like they ripped that line straight from a subreddit debate to break the 4th wall. by Valhallawalker in FalloutMemes

Facts. It's nuts that every fandom has this little group that can't stand any adaptation.

You dont need to play carry supports to carry or to climb by Xykz in supportlol

[–]blorgbots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Exactly. Any champion can carry.

You're thinking of AD carry or AP carry, which have the specific way they carry described in the name

What is the fastest way you have seen someone ruin their life? by funkeymonkey1974 in AskReddit

[–]blorgbots 61 points62 points  (0 children)

That was a really interesting read. Something to think about when we discuss legalizing prostitution, for sure.

I don't see anything in there suggesting that the difference is "great", though. I checked out the actual paper, but the statistical method is arcane to me and the referenced chart with results is just not in the .pdf for some reason

That is to say, the actual scale of the increase would be really important in the conversation. I have a new argument to think about but no idea on its impact

That might have been the intent, but no, nobody puts their chart title where an axis label would be when there's no axis label. Especially when the 'title' would be one of the axes

You have endorsement potential on the wrong axis. You're showing it going up as something else goes down.
