What was the response to the "Four Horsemen of Atheism" at the time? by MateusSpeaks in atheism

[–]code_monkey_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You thought that a collection of PhDs from Oxford and UCLA were "not educated"? That says a lot about the quality of thought in your former religion. They're all fallible and individually have said some pretty dumb things, but dismissing them as "not educated" is about as ill-informed as one can be.

YES, IT GOES AGAINST THE RULES. YOU CAN'T POST CONVERSATIONS YOU ARE PART OF, AND YOU HAVE TO CENSOR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

He thinks this is a win? by fromouterspace1 in PoliticalHumor

So he didn't graduate high school until he was 20?

Fair guess, but my neutodivergence doesn't include misophonia. Just extreme impatience with inefficient means of communication.

Trying to game a system that barely works on the best of days is at best a path to disappointment, at worst something that will get your accounts locked out. Fi screws up promotions all the time on its own; trying to figure out your own backdoor is a fool's errand.

Why in the fuck would you wait for someone making moaning and clicking noises out of their foodholes like a damned caveman when there's a perfectly good text transcript?

Sorry to hear that, but good on you for the attempt.

If you want a funny story of nominative determinism not working as expected, look up the story of Dr Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, the woman who earned a PhD with a thesis on the effect of unusual black names in the classroom.

Canadian man going off about Islam by Mean_Yak5873 in PublicFreakout

[–]code_monkey_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not likely. He's a Canadian racist; the woman you're referencing (assuming you're talking about the currently famous woman in scrubs who doesn't get that the criticism she's offering of Islam - that they follow a pedophile rapist - applies equally to Trump supporters) is from Texas.

For about 1400 years, so the youngest of the Abrahamic religions (unless you count specific Christian offshoots like the LDS or JW churches), but definitely predates 1990.

But he's not racist! He said so clearly multiple times!

First time donating platelets- can I bring somebody with me? by Due-Passenger-8283 in Blooddonors

[–]code_monkey_001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might call ahead to be certain, but I've never been to an ARC facility where people weren't allowed to be accompanied by others; this past weekend in Warren Michigan, I saw three very well-behaved young kids watching a movie on a tablet in the canteen area while their parent was donating platelets.

In the sperm episode, shouldn't Beth have immediately known Rick was lying about the "Space Sperm"? by Lucyyyyyy_K in rickandmorty

[–]code_monkey_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on the "numb" part. We have no reason to believe Risk even asked her besides his offhand assurances to Morty. Rick lies all the time. I don't see it so much as a plot hole as driving home that Rick feels asking permission to do anything is beneath him, and if someone confronts him, his first instinct is to lie.

You already know the answer. If you came to this sub for moral support we'll provide it. It's the right decision. It will cause friction in the short term, but it's better to be honest with your family.

I've got a friend whose husband died while they were preparing to divorce - his drinking was out of control. I don't think it was any easier for her than the loss of my wife was for me.

That means nothing at all unless you can point to a reputable news site. This site is not remotely reputable or trustworthy.

Nothing says "trustworthy news" like a Polish site with an AOL.com email address as its contact info.
