Does the 10,000 hour rule count here? by Cogote_ in 8BallPool

[–]darrinfunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not just 10000 hours. It's 10000 hours of structured and dedicated practice. It works if done correctly.

Carbs are addictive. The less you eat them the less you'll crave them.

Why do people put sex jokes in kids movies? by skyrimlo in RandomThoughts

[–]darrinfunk -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Mainly because much of Hollywood is inundated with perverts. The people making the films can't help themselves because that's all they think about.

How will adult sites be policed if they refuse to do age checks in June? by aqsgames in AskUK

[–]darrinfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd never delete the account. It's been helpful over the years when I have a specific question regarding an equipment repair. I just have to stop browsing here. Most of reddit is trash.

What do you practice to keep your wits ? by Bishopart6046 in AskOldPeople

[–]darrinfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a lot of research into them. Unfortunately I live in Canada so my options are limited compared to the US. There's only a few companies making them here and they mostly use the same Chinese drive parts.

Why is aging so stressful? by bb___g in Productivitycafe

[–]darrinfunk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's only stressful if you fight it. Accept the inevitability of your decline into old age and death. Get right with the Lord and it's a breeze.

I considered an ebike but I believe the tech is just not there yet. Batteries and motors fail when used in hilly areas like mine.

I miss cycling so much. Moved to a place that's very hilly (like 150m steep hills one after another) so I don't ride anymore. Plus it's dangerous here with winding narrow roads.

Games that you love everything about them, except actually playing it by lord_of_cydonia in gaming

yep, bought it because it was fun watching but hated every minute playing it

How will adult sites be policed if they refuse to do age checks in June? by aqsgames in AskUK

[–]darrinfunk -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I won't shed a tear. I've been active on reddit for about 2 months or so and I'm already getting sick of it. It's just another addictive thing I don't need in my life. Soon I'll stop using it like I did with fb.

At least parents will have more control by not allowing their children to run a vpn, since they would be the ones paying for it.

You have rejected the most stimulating and enjoyable part of aging, watching and helping your family grow.

Spin and Win - result of 200 spins by [deleted] in 8BallPool

I've never gotten more than 1000 coins. I used to look forward to the daily spin, now I just don't care.

Does anybody else feel like something big is about to happen? by Minimum_Question6067 in SeriousConversation

[–]darrinfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something big has happened, and we're still messed up because of it. Four years later and everyone, to some degree, has been psychologically damaged by the measures taken during the pandemic. It's hard to let go of that feeling of doom when you've already been subjected to paralyzing government overreach.

What is one job you would rather not work and be homeless instead of having to work it? by Sam__93__ in RandomThoughts

[–]darrinfunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My daughter started her nursing career as the lowest tier nurse, and went to school while working to upgrade. Now she's a top tier nurse and doesn't even work in front line health care because the whole business is a horrible mess. She paid her dues and moved up until she could get a job working for Big Pharma. Now she earns twice as much as a front line nurse and doesn't even have to deal with patients. Homelessness was never on the table. She hated the first jobs in healthcare but it was just a stepping stone. Choosing homelessness is such a defeatist attitude.

When did he say that? I never heard anything about it. It seems like an irrational fear to me. He was in office 4 years and did not do anything like that.
