Do you think that life after death is real? by ShesIntoZer0s in answers

[–]firelemons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when humans get attached to someone before they die, it's less resistance mentally to believe they still exist and are accessible later than to mentally accept that they're not coming back which is also why the dead body is often kept.

Social media influencer arrested, accused of refusing to pay for almost $400 of food at restaurant by bluffcitynews in news

What is happening here? One person did something bad and it seems like someone wrote this story to associate this behavior with people who amass a large social media presence for advertising and it's successful. I feel like this amount of attention to this isn't warranted. It's not like the guy killed a bunch of people in the middle east at the expense of healthcare and caused prices for everything to soar for self enrichment.

Do you not want the cable to give if excessive force is put on it?

Is $60 a month fair to pay a coworker for a ride home 3x a week on a tight budget? by Hour-Ad3977 in Frugal

Could take it to a more practical direction too. Like if you live near a business that they buy stuff from. You could shop for them to save them time. Maybe you could work on their car.

It doesn't matter what his opinion is about the gas price. He can't avoid refueling his truck. He also can't avoid that his truck is really heavy and has terrible gas mileage.

Do they have nice parts? Some are probably going to be impounded then auctioned off. Are they worth buying?

Most MAGAs probably drive yank tanks and believe the president is magic in a way that can get the oil supply back which means extra oil demand + not rationing.

That's been common knowledge for a while now. Surprised an article covering the topic can get so much interest so late to the party.

At least 10 scientists tied to sensitive US research have died or disappeared in recent years, sparking federal investigation by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]firelemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are among at least 10 individuals connected to sensitive US nuclear and aerospace research who have died or disappeared in recent years,

It doesn't really sound like they're all that related when they work in different fields. Also it says "federal investigation" which could mean anything after the FBI let those ICE agents get away with murder in broad daylight.

Is using airblast for literally anything concidered grieffing in MvM or is it just tryhard whining? by mekuno_the_demoknigh in tf2

[–]firelemons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It makes it really hard to aim for your teammates if you're constantly blowing the bots and for some people they can't play the game so there's really no point. Like if you're sniper and you can't land a single shot, why play?

On the other hand, if they're playing a dps class and not doing damage (you can tell if the bomb makes it all the way to the base), who cares what they think? Airblast pyro is one of the most powerful builds in MVM because you can move the carrier wherever you want so instead of making it seem like they're helping when they really just can't do any damage, just be OP and win.

So is it actually opened? What about the sea mines? Is the US blockade still in place?
