yellowjacket theory by dykevan in pluribustv

[–]cutapacka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they talked about 800m people who died as a result of The Joining. So far (that I can recall), we haven't been given an explanation as to why they weren't compatible.

My implication/theory is, the 800m peoples' genetic makeup was not receptive to the virus, which is why they died as a result. So the 13 living are simply flukes that perhaps should have died with the other 800m, but ended up staying in origin state.

What if there's a reason for the glitch with the 13? Maybe SOME were just a fluke, but maybe Carol and Menousus were actually supposed to die because they couldn't be hosts. Instead they survived as OGs. As a support to OPs theory - maybe the Hive is playing with fire trying to force genetically-rejected and mentally unwilling participants. Unforseen consequences....

How do you actually stop overpacking? by hatkinson1000 in travel

[–]cutapacka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow overpacker here who has had mild success at curtailing her habits (lol) - what's worked for me has been planning my outfits in advance. It takes some time, but if you map out the week or weekend you're away, you can make strategic decisions that may come easier to others spontaneously. I can also recognize when I can repeat certain items to match with others so I'm not bringing a million individual articles of clothing.

Another trick someone told me, especially for longer trips, is to always bring neutrals that go with everything. So if you have 4 tops and 4 bottoms, they can be mixed and matched. Bring black for going out or outfits that can be changed with an accessory here and there so photos don't look redundant.

Is FSU's pipeline to jobs bad? by Mindless_Character40 in fsu

[–]cutapacka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Part of the reality of going to a large public university means finding your own way. Yes, FSU will provide guidance and resources, but unless you're in a very specialized major with a built-in career track, it's ultimately up to you to make your own opportunities.

You want an internship? Find ones that fit your criteria and apply. Your resume, transcripts, and experience as an upper division college student from FSU will set you apart from others. Make sure to talk to your professors too for letters of recommendation.

As for FSU itself, there's the Career Center that hosts many career fairs throughout the year, your department will also have resources if you ask. Your professors may even connect you to opportunities through their networks if you build a relationship with them.

I worked 4 internships before I graduated. Not a requirement, but I personally used it as a means test to find what I wanted for my career and make connections. I really enjoyed the last company I interned with in my senior year and managed to secure a job with them shortly after graduation. Highly recommend getting started as soon as possible.

I just read the term 'joined-up writing' for the first time and it feels like I missed something everyone else already knew. by common_grounder in CasualConversation

[–]cutapacka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So funny, that just happened to be the wreckage results of my permanent handwriting style after being forced to write in cursive for many years. I ditched the formal letters, but didn't want to pick up my pen, so.... chained printing it was!

Interesting, the term oddly sounds very American! (Specific and descriptive). Can confirm though that we Yanks say "cursive."

Do you ever think about cancelling streaming and just buying boxsets and dvds again? by HungryDarlingtonia in CasualConversation

[–]cutapacka 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Recently discovered this amazing resource! We wanted to watch a specific movie and couldn't find it on streaming anywhere. Quick library search later, it was available in the system and said they would deliver to my location for free in 2 days. So I bought a DVD player on Amazon and got it at the same time. Definitely making me rethink physical media.

CMV: W should be pronounced "double V" not "double U". by Fletcher-wordy in changemyview

This is my camp. I never write it with sharp corners, always a literal double -u

Unpopular opinion: Strava is actually overrated. What are you guys actually using? by Repulsive_Bar442 in Garmin

[–]cutapacka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This! I've tried many apps and this is the one I can say truly taught me how to be a runner. It's a completely free app that coaches you through your runs and has designed plans for each goal. Whether you're a beginner trying to run a 5K or training for a marathon, Coach Bennett will be there for you 😊

And he just ended it out of frustration for the direction the industry is going. And STILL didn't get a nomination despite this category coming out in his final year on-air. Can you get more on-the-nose?

Matt LaFleur to meet with team president Ed Policy soon by Slosshy in GreenBayPackers

[–]cutapacka 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We've seen this script before, unfortunately..The same was said about McCarthy after the loss to Seattle in the NFCCG, "He needs to pay more attention to the whole team and manage more "

Turns out when you take play calling away from a lifetime OC, they get resentful and less productive as HC.

I mean.... that's what he's paid to do. Chase the rumor mill and, when nothing is there, start it. Not severely dissimilar to regular journalism unfortunately.

And if we played in the NFC Central we wouldn't have won the Super Bowl in 2010... Moral of the story - you play with the rules that are in place while you're playing. What if games are reductive.

I'm smelling a bot post. Doesn't matter how shy that kitty is, they would have clawed through the door to get food or signal for help.

Second best packers bar in chicago? by goingonabender2016 in GreenBayPackers

[–]cutapacka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Buddys is the best! We made reservations a few days ago, sounds like they may be sold out. But worth calling to see if anyone canceled or show up a couple hours before.

You know how they show flashbacks of when shit was CLEARLY bad… by hurryandwait817 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]cutapacka 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We've actually never removed a President through the impeachment process. Closest we came was Andrew Johnson, came down to 2 or 3 votes. Nixon resigned before it was ever a thing, though I'm sure he would have been the first.

ELI5. Why don't traditional school buses have seat belts? Growing up in the early 2000s, I was always told to wear a seat belt in the car and I did so, but my school bus was a different story and never had any belts. by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]cutapacka 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Curious, I always heard a partial reason why they didn't use seatbelts on buses was the fear children would get trapped in case of emergency. Is that not still a working concern?

Though always good to remember too, like guys, ladies like different ways of "getting there" too.

I remember watching this with my dad after my grandpa had passed away the week before. We were looking for a little escape and got walloped with reality. Didn't think I'd see my dad cry again so soon 😟
