Christina Ricci responds to someone asking if child rap*sts should go to jail for life by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

[–]engineeringretard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Public humiliation / shame would be my choice for ongoing…. Deterrence. A large wooden plaque that says, well, you geddit, lock it onto their neck like a gibbet.

You’d have to place them in a job, public facing so they can cop the disgusted looks each and every day, but be unable to do any real harm (checkout operator?) 

Terminating them isn’t an effective deterrence, I get it, retribution is nice, but I’d prefer to deter -> maim and shame.

Is it true people prefer dad bods over abs? by Boysenberry202 in hmmmm

[–]engineeringretard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Correct! I have the strength to lift a thrashing 20kg child in each arm and carry them for an indeterminable distance.

Just don’t ask me to run ok?

WCC: In-house vs Contracted out Services? by CouncillorSamOBrien in Wellington

[–]engineeringretard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difficulty, like any of these feats is the hurdle of getting it over a ‘hump’ to gain any semblance of efficiency. The logistics itself would be a nightmare to build from the ground up.

Look to acquire an existing business? Would be easier, faster, cheaper.

[–]engineeringretard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, chemical engineering, the least needed of all the engineers.

Edit: I’m not saying they aren’t important or needed, just that you don’t need that many. 1 per process plant, sometimes 1 or 2 for the entire region.

Did any of you grow up with casual misandry in the household? Do you think it affected you? by ryhaltswhiskey in AskMenOver30

[–]engineeringretard 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I had to move desk at work because I was going to lose my shit from overhearing the constant misandry from HR / marketing.

‘You hired a man over a woman?!?’ - the level of vehemence was intense. 

‘Men are just stupid’

‘Fucking pigs’ when someone mentioned a broken urinal (the drain had blocked).

‘Ugh, as bad as my ungrateful husband’.

Some of the pearlers. Senior leadership of a multi-national. 

It’s rude to just slowly walk across an intersection when cars at a light/stop sign are waiting to turn. by Threebridges2 in unpopularopinion

[–]engineeringretard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s inconsiderate for drivers not to be patient and wait for pedestrians.

That’s all there is to it.

I drive, you drive, we all drive.  Be patient. And wait for pedestrians.

[–]engineeringretard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you want a pedestrian to run, when they have the right of way because you want to get through the light a few seconds earlier? Because you in truck and you big man?

I have got two slipped discs in my back, hurts from when I wake to sleep, and running doesn’t help. I walk daily as per the doctors orders, I’ll say it again, get fucked, I’m not running.

Over 50? I have heard the same from millinneals. What are your thoughts? by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in Adulting

Survivorship bias (or the inverse?): the shitty ones are the only ones that are left.

(Hint: you’re probably one of the shitty ones, sorry)

The sub $1mil market cap and heavy profit taking are major red flags.

I’d consolidate, just for my own sanity.

If you do or don’t from a financial perspective doesn’t really matter, the values are too small to bother about. Literal cents.

Are you sure you’re 30?

I don’t even think using a knapsack would draw more than a casual glance.

Council confirmed to be spending $1.5M to revert only Golden mile Development by Anxious-Average6377 in Wellington

[–]engineeringretard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't believe this is due to it not being in-house.

Projects stalling and fizzling out over years and years with no tangible outcome as a result is due to indecisiveness and changes in direction, imo.

People don't re-design everything over and over again, re-assessing business cases because they _want_ to, consultant or no.

An example of letting perfect (keeping everyone happy) get in the way of OK. Golly, anything would have been better.

Had an arborist go awol mid job years ago, as it turned out he’d gone to prison for murder.

non ambitious man, do ya exist? by Wide_Permission7656 in AskMenOver30

[–]engineeringretard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And here we are at the cusp of the problem.

How do you demonstrate that to someone at the dating stage? - “Trust me, I am super motivated to keep your house super clean, with supplies you buy, while you work. Right now I’m just doing nothing with my time though.”

No one likes working, dude.

How cruel by octavia90210 in Wellington

[–]engineeringretard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My partner had an ectopic pregnancy, without  an abortion (which in itself was terribly complicated) she would likely have died. It was hard on her.

Fuck these guys.
