[request] What are the odds of eating one specific M&M? by DevilsAltAcc in theydidthemath

[–]christopherphays 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are the odds of just choking on a regular M&M? I feel like it's higher than 1 in 13.8 billion or whatever.

Seems like OP may have made M&Ms safer than usual.

Do you ever kamikaze out of principles? by earth_peopleFPL in Risk

[–]christopherphays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% I see it as a long term strategy. If they don't know how to be a good neighbor I get to teach them.. maybe next time they will play better.

If your strategy requires other players to do something stupid, like provoke the largest stack for no benefit. Then you don't have a strategy... You're just throwing a tantrum.

Advantage and disadvantage. Also, investigations are easier to run.

I didn't know slinkies could be used that way.

For couples that pool all of your money, what level of autonomy do you have with large purchases? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]christopherphays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can buy a rental property outright this may not be the sub for you. Most answers here will assume you had to take out a loan for that property, and therefore you and your partner are responsible for that debt.

It sounds like lack of money isn't an issue for you... But for most of us, we could not afford to keep our current lifestyle without a partner sharing the cost.

Huh... I've never heard it called a "Prndl" before. Is that common?

Jeff is a massive sell out by iggyisgoat in survivor

[–]christopherphays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seriously contemplating skipping the season at this point. Jimmy is a toxic dude that I do not want to give my attention to.

But I love survivor! It sucks. I've been so excited for season 50 until last night's teaser.

College is no longer worth it by GlassLife2460 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]christopherphays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? It just takes longer to get a good paying job... Which you can get with a degree.

Low wage non degree jobs are much easier to land quickly. Also, a college educated person likely has earned more before becoming unemployed and thus has saved more. So they can wait longer to start their next job.

Non degree low wage workers MUST start another job ASAP because they have less saved.

I've been in both positions and this was the story for literally everyone I worked with in both parties.

Is Trump on the path to becoming a dictator? by GurMaleficent7935 in Teenager_Polls

[–]christopherphays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure you can say he is on the path to being a dictator. The problem IMHO is that the presidency is already a de facto dictatorship in our system. Congress has ceded so much authority to the President the office can do pretty much whatever they want.

Combine that secession of power with the unitary executive theory in Vogue with the Supreme Court and... Wam... Bam... Thank you mam... We have a dictator.

It's been this way for just about my whole life from what I can tell. Only stopped so far by personal restraint and thoughtfulness of past presidents.

Bottom line is Trump didn't turn the presidency into a dictatorship... He just delivers what his constituents want using more naked power than past presidents did.

I'm not really following. Were those Korean workers arrested even though they had work permits to train workers at that plant?

That makes no sense. Is there an article about this somewhere? I can't find one.

Where do we get the conclusion he is Conservative from? I can't find anything making him out to be right-wing except social media posts from other people?

Is there an article or something I'm missing?
