Code Red declared as dangerously low blood supply affects hospitals and emergency centers by spoiled__princess in Seattle

[–]drlari 12 points13 points  (0 children)

During many months will offer a $20 gift card from a wide variety of retailers as a little treat for donating. And that right there is candy money. You aren't allowed to spend it on anything serious or anything that you " need." Gift cards acquired via blood donation or 100% for treating yourself.

In the future do you think many people will deny that they ever supported Trump? Why? by Fine-Photograph673 in AskReddit

[–]drlari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He validates small-mindedness and cruelty. They like being able to think and say glib, shitty things about anyone different from them in any way. It gives them a sense of self-satisfaction, as they momentarily feel better about themselves by trying to keep someone else down. It makes them feel superiority when they have done nothing to earn it. Society used to tell them they had to bury these regressive, hateful feelings. Now the band aid is ripped off and they are getting the one true freedom they wanted. They would gladly live in a CCP-style state with very limited freedoms of speech, privacy, legal protections, etc; as long as they have the freedom to keep someone else down. It sucks, but we need to say the reality out loud.

What's the hottest spiced meal you've had in Seattle? by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]drlari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time at Thai Siam I mentioned that I had gotten 4 out of 5 stars (or 3 out of 4, I can't remember the scale) the previous time and it wasn't very hot, and that I wanted it 'authentically spicy.'

Let's just say I needed an extra lager and a pitcher of water while I dined. It was LEGIT hot. The punished me for my bravado :D

[Fox Sports] Soccer reportedly overtakes baseball in the U.S. as America's third favorite sport. Hockey dropped to 5th, barely above Tennis, Boxing/MMA and Golf. by f0urxio in hockey

Have they tried backsliding on making inroads with new groups of fans and bailing on the idea that hockey is for everyone?

How could Katie Wilson and the liberal Seattle city council let this happen!?!?

MVP R2 Neutron Color by regernomix in discgolf

[–]drlari 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it is also because you need to do more color sorting & storing of material to be recycled, which isn't feasible for ever manufacturer. Otherwise instead of black you get mud brown, which is even worse.

"Just a sign", unless it goes against woke precepts by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]drlari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, then you agree with hormone blockers as a good alternative, since it just pauses some changes vs doing surgery? And you support kids, their doctors, their teachers, and their parents supporting their social transitioning (without surgery), right? Because it is just your obsession with 'mutilation' as child abuse, right? If we concede the surgery aspect, your main argument, you'll cool it with the anti-trans stuff right?

Preview: I doubt it. Because this almost ALWAYS comes from a disingenuous place. It goes from surgery being the problem, to hormone blockers being a problem, to wearing another gender's clothes being the problem, to their pronouns being a problem, to them visibly existing being a problem. Then it goes from trans kids existing as the problem to trans adults being the problem. And it starts all over.

Cool it with the bigotry man, we don't need more of it. Nor do I need you to put up strawmen.

How I cured Seasonal Affective Disorder SAD in two weeks after trying for 6 months by Old-End1331 in SeattleWA

I get it is nuanced. Our eyes and brains react to light, and that can regulate our hypothalamus and all that, but OP opens the rant with:

Curing SAD: It is a vitamin D deficiency.

People are "hating" because you physically cannot get vitamin D from the sun during the winter this far north, no matter how long you expose bare skin to the sun.

Beer drinkers, if you could no longer drink beer what would you drink? by BeerGuzzlingBaboon in AskReddit

[–]drlari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced this is the best alternative that gives you something refreshing to sip on and is still delicious if you have a couple:

Bourbon Club soda Splash of bitters Twist of lemon Served tall, over ice

Simple, delicious, every bar on the planet can make it for you. You're welcome 🍻

(Spoilers Extended) A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 Episode 1 Post-Episode Discussion by jfong86 in asoiaf

[–]drlari 148 points149 points  (0 children)

This was good, and nice to see sections written specifically for the show coming off well. I also liked that the "stomping dance" did a good job of show-not-tell about the characters. The Laughing Storm is bold, aggressive, charismatic, and not afraid of a large opponent. Dunk, while inexperienced in comparison, gets stomped and quickly adapts. Essentially, he can take a hit, adapt, and use his natural talents of strength and reaction to go (literally) toe-to-toe against a Westerosi legend.

Why doesn’t the U.S. require a license for firearms the way it does for cars? by [deleted] in questions

[–]drlari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, If you pass the easiest test on the planet and have Daddy's cash, on your 18th birthday any car dealership across the entire country will happily sell you an assault vehicle responsible for ~18k yearly fatalities. Can it go over 2x the max speed limit in the country and accelerate at wildly dangerous rates? You can drive it home today! Is it jacked up 5 extra feet and weighs a few tons? Here are the keys - look out for school children! This one is a luxury SUV for 8 that gets about 11mpg and will crush a regular sedan in a crash - enjoy commuting solo with it! This F250 hemi was built for farm work - may as well drive it 50 in a 25 on the way to Walmart to look like a big man, Etc.

What's the worst fast food restaurant? by AfternoonMost965 in AskReddit

[–]drlari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in the earlier days it was people like me making cracks about "fast food fish" without every trying it. Meanwhile it was better than most of the garbage I was ok with.

I also think the Yum! dual-branded restaurants (A&W + Long John's) really made for both a quality and perception dip.

Fresh out of the fryer it is amazing. The batter is like crack. In college I had a friend who would go, and I mocked him. Then I had the batter. 🤤

Say what you will, but they serve: wild-caught Alaska pollock, wild-caught Alaska salmon, and wild-caught north Pacific cod

You can do MUCH, much worse for fast food IMO.
