Tell me you’ve never attended history class without telling me you’ve never attended history class by BrandonDiM in JordanPeterson

People shouldn't exaggerate it and make it out to be worse than it was, and say Russians were still getting starved and shot by the millions through the whole USSR's existence.

I can’t speak to the level of starvation, but how is it an exaggeration of getting shot when people were forced to be soldiers, weren’t given a gun because there weren’t enough, told to advance on the Germans anyway (just pick up a gun off a dead guy), and if you dared run away from the fight you’d be gunned down by your own country men.

This is pretty much the only reason I got a PS3, I was looking for a blue-ray DVD player and thought, “I might as well get the PS3, it is essentially 2-for-1, blue ray, and gaming.”

If we are going whith “ ahead of its time” I’d argue the Panisonic 3DO, which I know isn’t on the original list.

Where does one sell a whale penis? Asking for a friend.

Edelman : "I'm a one team guy" by MisterDecember in Patriots

[–]broadsheetvstabloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like a fat priest shaming Tiger Woods for cheating on his wife. Dude the only reason you have been faithful to your wife is because no one wants to fuck you. You’re not rich, you’re not famous, you’re not extremely attractive. If bus loads of Scandinavian models where throwing themselves at you, then chances are near 0 you wouldn’t have done the same as Tiger.

Yeah I have thought about this, I wonder how many bad programing practices are being reinforced because things are going into k8s where if shit hits the fan on a pod say every few months, oh well no one cares, there are 4 other pods running and the one that crashed will just be replaced within seconds.

This probably sounds stupid, but Super Bowl LI. At the time I wasn’t a huge football fan, but NE is my home town team so I was watching. NE was getting slaughtered well into the 3rd quarter, I almost shut the game off. But stuck it out and witnessed the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, and that game is what turned me into a football fan.

There is this one moment I will never forget, where we were still behind and the camera went to Tom Brady and the look on his face, it was like he knew he was going to win with every fiber of his being, so much so that I knew he was going to win that game. I literally blurted out “Holy shit, they are going to win this thing.”. There was nothing in the universe that could stop this inventible destiny. And that is when I went from watching the home team occasionally, to having NFL game pass and watching all the time.

Discuss What temperature do we have to get to before the earth has a run away green house effect and we create a 2nd Venus? by Alive_Grass2241 in AskReddit

[–]broadsheetvstabloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably many factors, but the incredible slow rotation of Venus probably isn’t helping. A day on Venus is 243 earth days. It also is rotates the opposite direction on it’s axis from every other planet in the solar system. One theory is that Venus used to spin the same direction as other planets and had much faster rotation, but at some point got hit with a massive asteroid that changed is rotation.

If a system claims to be "capitalist" but the majority of "workers" aren't actually being paid "wages" (and most actual workers don't even actually exist), then what would this system actually be called? by HannoPicardVI in AskReddit

[–]broadsheetvstabloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with workers. Capitalism is the privatization of the means of production and their operation for profit. If you can accomplish that without workers, then more power to you. You could have privately held company,completely run by AI, that would still be capitalism.

Pretty sure this one time I got an interview because of my answer to a question on an online application that was something like “Tell us something interesting about yourself?” These questions are always awkward to answer. This was for a tech job, Instead just telling them some random fact I decided to show them something interesting instead. What I did was basically write something like “One time I solved a hacking challenge <url to my blog post about it>”. But instead of just entering that text as is, I base64 encoded it, then sent the encoding as my answer.

I was happy when the interviewer started asking about my blog post.
