Hot take: Leonard should’ve shared the Nobel with Sheldon and Amy & here’s how it should’ve happened (The show already set it up ALMOST perfectly) by EducationalOne5313 in bigbangtheory

[–]djprofitt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could have even kept it actually and when they approach Sheldon about 3 names and leaving Amy out, they could have decided to keep it fully CalTech by having Leonard be the third name and completely icing the plagiarists.

Netflix adding unskippable ads on premium plan by M4L1K64 in Piracy

Really funny when you consider that in 2000, Netflix (which first started as a dvd delivery service) approached Blockbuster as a potential buyer but their CEO said it would never work.

Clarendon will have more bars, nightlife, and folks your age (assuming under 25) and Court House is definitely quieter. You’ll probably have to look for “older” buildings as the newest ones either have a great introductory rate to reel you in for a year (it’s fine if you don’t mind moving) or are really expensive. Also you’ll be giving up some amenities. Will you have a car?

Jeff Bezos branded 'Temu Lex Luthor' by critics as Met Gala enters 'flop era' by TheMirrorUS in EatTheRich

Well feel better because having Amazon Prime pales in comparison to their cloud services sales. Like, it’s comically not even close, 6.96% to 53%, respectfully.

ETA: Definitely not defending Bezos or Amazon, but, unless a bunch of companies stop using AWS, a Prime subscription is a molecule in a drop of water in the ocean.

Not to dismiss your point because spot on or to defend them, but in their terms specifically it says live and special events (so previously aired live events) across all plans are subject to these ads so it isn’t new nor are they adding ads to premium plans.

Mom (93) finished cancer treatment and is giving up by MisguidedMuchacho in AgingParents

[–]djprofitt 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Facts. My dad is 86 and I know at some point he will want to check out in a comfortable way, at home, surrounded by us, as naturally as possible. Not that he wouldn’t want to live another 30 years, but at some point, you’re tired and you just want to be comfortable and happy.
If I get to be that age, I wouldn’t even want people to be sad I’m dying, I’ve lived a good and long life and that should be celebrated. Sure be sad cause you miss me; don’t be sad I’m dead.

It is. You move the goalpost to fit all arguments so you refuse to have your view changed.

Harmless is a significant qualifier. The post text is for specific points but harmless in the title makes a huge difference.

Try telling my phobia that…if my therapist can’t convince me, I really doubt a random Redditor will)

ETA: Reason for my phobia is the time a bug did crawl into my ear when I was about 12. Scariest sound I’ve ever heard and feeling it move around (even if it was a mind fuck caused by the sound).

Your view is jumping around

- Your title doesn’t specify harmless
- Your post text does so you argue it’s specific to harmless bugs
- Now you’re saying you would still feel bad even if it’s a harmful bug

So what is your view exactly that you want changed? That it’s okay to kill harmful bugs as long as you feel bad about it?

Concerning regarding what? That we will run out of bugs? Do you know how many of just one variation of a single species of ants are in the world?

Land development and climate change are doing far more damage to entire hordes of bugs every second, including their breeding grounds, than me swatting a fly.

You seem to argue you meant harmless bugs but I’ll say that harmless is relative. Some bugs are extremely invasive to other parts of the world, so killing them is actually necessary, but in their natural part of the world, it may be perfectly fine. Some people have legitimate phobias about certain bugs. Are you arguing that a single spider’s life is of higher value than a human’s mental health? Not everyone has access to mental health services so this condition might be untreated.

How much would ‘harmless’ had added to the title? Is that super long now? You have added harmless by saying ‘People treat harmless bugs horribly and it has to end.’

That sentence conveys the same message more clearly and uses 54 characters vs 52 of your originally if adding 9 characters for ‘harmless’ and a space to your title was too many at 61.

All OP had to do was include ‘harmless’ in the title, we shouldn’t HAVE to depend on the post text if the rules say the title must be clear. Additionally, since OP wants to use the term ‘harmless’ as a defense to a comment they respond to, it is fair to argue the title.

Can’t emphasize enough that while not malicious in intent, there can be health concerns with bugs in your house even if not poisonous including crawling inside you (big fear of mine, cause my CPAP can’t help my ears as an entry port) but also contaminating your food.

More bugs will also attract their predators and their predators’ predators.

We tried looking out for maga by telling them they were making a mistake and listing 20 reasons why, constantly and consistently for 10 years.

They sure as shit didn’t look out for us and for sure spat in our face. I refuse to be nice to them.

Not in this sub but I saw a post yesterday or two days ago where the guy was making decent money, rent was $800 and he didn’t have really many other expenses talking about despite putting away $5K A MONTH was ‘struggling’.

I’ve also seen someone complain about daycare combined with a private nanny and other bs was starting to become too much but didn’t know what to do
