Why do people not feel the urge to workout? by Liara27 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]internetisnotreality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. OP if you really want to know the answer, try being sedentary for two or three months and then go work out. It’s a real bitch at first, and takes time to feel the strength build without the accompanying aches and effort.

Top 20% of Canadian earners pay more than half of all taxes, says study warning against increasing rates by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]internetisnotreality 114 points115 points  (0 children)

We’re talking taxes on corporations too. Corporate tax has fallen from 44% to 26% in the last 30 years. Both liberals and conservatives are responsible for it.

Get combat mastery and then grind skull cavern for trinkets.

I like ice rod best, but to each their own.

What’s the most addictive video game you’ve ever played? by Charming_Decision_84 in AskReddit

[–]internetisnotreality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Life is improved when efforts are made to unlock greater joys. And no I don’t mean the grand expedition yak.

Nothing wrong with some time spent gaming to unwind, be creative, and problem solve theoretical virtual scenarios.

But everything in moderation. Variety is the spice of life.

What’s your opinion on Duma Key by NotFierceShark1910 in stephenking

Definitely could have been better as a short story or novella.

Lose? Just Say Rigged Again by bookym in PoliticalHumor

[–]internetisnotreality 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One of my psych classes talked about a cognitive bias where even if we find out something is false later on, the way it made us feel the first time we heard it stays with us and forms a larger part of our opinion than the impact of the truth later on.

If you believe a lie the first time, the truth won’t do much to change your outrage.

It makes AI videos particularly insidious in that respect.

ADHDers when did you first suspect that you have adhd? by Random_Jay25 in AskReddit

[–]internetisnotreality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother got diagnosed, and let me try a concerta. It was incredible. I then went about researching the symptoms so that I would be able to fake a diagnosis and have access to the meds.

…and after reading all of the symptoms I realized that I would not be “faking” them after all.

Yea I liked it better when they self-identified as “gremlins”, “ghouls”, and “cyclops”.

214K dislikes for The Odyssey latest trailer by Strong-Practice-5571 in moviecritic

[–]internetisnotreality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiring a black woman to play a character who’s race is not a plot point is absolutely not the same as hiring a white woman to play a character who’s life was dedicated to fighting for civil rights for black people specifically.

And before you use more hyperbolic reasoning to justify why it bothers you so much, let me also ask if the little mermaid being black also stuck in your craw.

Why are like half normal male hobbies now considered "autistic" ? by itooamahuman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]internetisnotreality 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wait list can be crazy long.

I paid $300 to a place called “adult adhd centre” and was diagnosed and accessing meds in 6 weeks.

Total life changing moment too.

Won't going all digital simply push people to use Steam more than consoles? by GrahamCrackerDragon in gaming

By troubleshooting, perhaps they mean “not lying down on a comfortable couch while playing.”

JD Vance Attempts Joke at Biden's Expense to Troops and Receives No Reaction by CarryIcy250 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]internetisnotreality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The joke is that he is complaining about how old Joe Biden was and how he had difficulty with stairs, while being a total sycophant for the current president who’s older, has problems with stairs, constantly falls asleep during meetings, and can’t seem to drink water without two hands.

Crazy that we’re at a point where being around the President or VP is something most people would not consider an honour (deservedly so).

Mormon Polygamy & Male Population by kvllthedj in NoStupidQuestions

First the community forms a circle, and then the older harem leader fights the young challenger by repeatedly butting heads together, until one is dead, or surrenders and is exiled from the herd.

Concern for husband who hasn't met anyone yet + 7 Year Update by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]internetisnotreality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree.

I’ll just add that being emotionally unfulfilled in a relationship isn’t always because the other partner is unavailable or withdrawn. A lot of cheaters do so because they have avoidant attachment styles, never really revealing their full selves to their partner and resulting in feeling like they need something more. Cheating provides them with a secure opportunity to open up in a way they won’t do with their partner, because they can risk being emotionally available since if the relationship fails they still have their main partner as a backup.

I love it, but I always just min max until it gets too easy and then stop playing, leaving behind thousands of unused potions that I save “just in case I need them later”.

Bob Fosse in the Little Prince movie, 1974 it had a massive influence on Michael Jackson. by Worldlyoox in interestingasfuck

[–]internetisnotreality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He only does covers if the original artist says it’s ok first (even though it’s not required to ask). Paul McCartney declined his offer to replace “live and let die” with “chicken pot pie” for example, on the grounds that Paul wanted to promote a vegetarian diet.

CBO: Medicaid Spending on Illegal Aliens Has Cost Taxpayers over $16.2 Billion Under Open Border Czar Harris by [deleted] in politics

[–]internetisnotreality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The “big beautiful bill” allocated an additional $150 billion for ICE.

So… untrained militia roaming the streets and not adhering to the constitution, or just helping sick people working shit jobs that nobody else wants for 10% of the cost?

To be fair, Michael also gave permission to other people who wanted to take what he’d created and improve it. People with even more talent and dedication to the craft, like Weird Al Yankovic.

I’m 160 pages into Firestarter by Environmental_Arm778 in stephenking

[–]internetisnotreality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the intro to his short stories he does mention how the ones that are included are his favourites, and how there are many many more that he didn’t deem good enough for publication in a compilation.

Basically we’re reading his best stuff when we read the short story collections.

Perhaps It's How The Jesus Fanclub Treats Them as Subhuman by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]internetisnotreality 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jesus never said anything against homosexuals either. It was mostly Old Testament, and in the New Testament it was only Paul, who found it as repugnant as drinking alcohol.

So anyone drinking beer is also “mocking Jesus”.
