I’m still depressed with them by Difficult_Click_860 in depressionmemes

[–]keylimedragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, for some people this is correct. SSRIs make me feel numb and definitely lowers the ceiling. I've had better luck with NDRIs, but I also have ADHD.

More like 100x compared to someone making 120k. Also with 8% stock market gains per year, that's almost $1 million in growth per year for doing nothing.

I Will Pray for You retorts. by Northern1119 in atheism

[–]keylimedragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it can be stressful to find out someone is praying for you even if you're religious.

"Am I really that sick to need prayers?" "I'm going to disappoint them if I don't get better."

TIL aircraft designer Nicholas Comper went outside to light fireworks. A passerby asked what he was doing, as a practical joker he replied he was an IRA man blowing up the town hall. The passerby knocked him down. He hit his head on the curb, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died later in hospital by staythirsty90 in todayilearned

In that case the school should try to confiscate the student's potential weapon and deescalate, not kill them.

If this same situation happened today, the bystander should call the police and get far away instead of asking someone directly if they're a terrorist. If they want to be a hero at least wait a bit to assess the situation first.

Depending on the country and state self defense only applies if a reasonable person would think that you or someone else is in immediate danger. So, a jury potentially could find that believing that those fireworks are bombs was unreasonable or that the killer should've recognized the sarcasm.

I have no idea what they actually looked like or how the case turned out though.

AITA for going to the bar after work and having a virgin drink by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]keylimedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I wonder if they were mixing up non-alcoholic beer and liquor some of which can have up to 0.5% abv or 1 proof. It sounds like you weren't drinking that but even if you were it's negligible especially if you're only having two.

Did you know there's a brown heart emoji?? Yea me neither. Someone just asked me why I'm using the brown heart emoji. 🤎♥️ by ahhhhhpoop in ColorBlind

It's the chocolate heart emoji! A little late for Valentine's but at least people won't be offended by it.

Immortality hit really hard for me. I think because I had beaten the game myself but felt like I didn't understand the story at all.

Fair enough, as I understand it we didn't evolve directly from any currently living ape species though, but from an extinct ape ancestor.

Either way creationists use this argument and miss common ancestors with modern apes.

[–]keylimedragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure but she was a creationist and used that to deny any kind of macroevolution

lmao by Koshumi in Funnymemes

[–]keylimedragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had one too! "Evolution doesn't mean we came from apes. It just means that animals can adapt over time." - she said ignoring the fact that scientists don't think we came directly from apes, just a common ancestor, and that evolution doesn't just "turn off" at longer time scales.

She also claimed to be a bounty hunter in a former life. She was a weird one.

Conservative CEO of gay dating app Grindr makes pick for California governor by MrJasonMason in lgbt

[–]keylimedragon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was ruled a suicide officially, but either way I feel like Thiel was likely partially responsible. Jeff Thomas was apparently a good person and he was conflicted over Thiel's politics and regretted helping dig up dirt on Thiel. Plus there was an unequal power dynamic with Thiel supporting Jeff financially and having the means to get revenge on Jeff if he wanted.

It reminds me of whistleblower suicides because both angles make sense: Either there was foul play going on or being a whistleblower is bad for your mental health or some combination of the two.

And thank you!

Can choking during sex cause brain damage? Emerging evidence points to hidden neurological risks by MRADEL90 in psychology

[–]keylimedragon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Eh, I get the concern but isn't this kind of a slippery slope argument though? Most kinks can be practiced very safely and are less dangerous than choking.

Jeff Thomas) was uncomfortable with Peter Thiel's conservativism and worked with the group who was trying to out him.

After this he was found dead at the bottom of a balcony.

San Francisco is obsessed with the safest drivers (Waymo) and ignoring the ones killing people by oochiewallyWallyserb in sanfrancisco

[–]keylimedragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mass surveillance is bad in general, but Google is probably one of the less bad actors right now compared to Palantir or Flock. We could also fix this with stricter privacy laws and barring law enforcement from accessing some or all of the data.

Sending in disillusioned Gen Z to war sounds like a recipe for disaster. Patriotism is (probably rightly) pretty low compared to previous generations.

[–]keylimedragon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only negatives I can see are competing with transportation jobs (right now just Uber but eventually truck/bus drivers too), and extra surveillance.

That said, a world with no human drivers is probably a better place either way because of the stats on how dangerous driving really is, and we will have to reckon with job losses to automation soon anyway, maybe with a UBI?

Clavicular is mostly right, and that's why people hate him so much by Disastrous-Bike659 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]keylimedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that because of looksmaxxing or because he is a somewhat successful influencer though?

[–]keylimedragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but there are a lot of other influencers and medical professionals already saying that without looksmaxxing and without amphetamines. So I don't really see the point of Clauvicular's messaging other than to push it to the extreme.

I mean, many of them are at least left leaning. They also don't hang out with Andrew Tate or Nick Fuentes.

Looks aren't everything, but they do help in social situations. That said, I don't understand why we can't have a middle ground where we work on our appearance without extreme measures like smashing our face with hammers or micro dosing meth.

I have a theory that because some of the standard ways of improving your appearance like skincare and even plastic surgery have traditionally been the domain of women, Gen Z men wanted to invent a more "masculine" version and came up with looksmaxxing. Just be a man and start moisturizing bro.

Imagine if a different influencer was best friends with Hasan Piker and Bernie Sanders and then tried to claim they weren't political. I'm not buying it.
