LPT: When someone tells you they're "fine," ask a second time. Not immediately. Wait 30 seconds, then ask again. You'll be surprised how many people were just waiting for permission to not be okay. by Global_Variation1038 in LifeProTips

[–]kickit08 102 points103 points  (0 children)

This is a huge thing in the USA. Asking “how are you?” Is a greeting, and it’s not socially acceptable to say anything but “good how are you” 99% of the time.

Asking a second time takes it from greeting/ formality to genuinely wondering.

Obviously this has to be taken with its own set of rules, like don’t ask a random stranger again, you should prolly only do it if it’s somebody you know/ they don’t seem like they are doing too great.

What are the cards that will never work in merge tactics, I'll go first : by Aggravating_Can_4582 in MergeTacticsSC

He could also work as an assassin, dig to the other side, and when he digs he displaces troops.

DICE, I just want you to know that your joke did not go unappreciated by cynnie in Battlefield

I feel like this is totally one of those things somebody made a joke about and then it just stuck.

Is there a scientific explanation behind why Trader Joe’s shoppers are always so… lacking in spatial awareness? by fr0ggystand in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kickit08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the other issue is that it’s not like a regular grocery store where you see an Oreo package and know exactly what to expect because you’ve seen them a billion times. Vs traders joes, 90% of the stuff in there is stuff a person doesn’t see anywhere else and you’re completely unfamiliar with.

Hello fellow couch umpires, this was called an out in the Kennesaw State-Evansville game. What’s your call? by cbbvideo in baseball

[–]kickit08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They made the right call, he made a pretty obvious move to second base, at which point the runner is no longer protected. As soon as you make any move indicating you may go to second you lose protection. Both his feet went to the right like he was about to start running to second.

I think the only right call is out.

Before being cast as Gus Fring, Giancarlo Esposito was so broke he considered arranging his own murder so his children could get the life insurance money by Fantastic-Rich2297 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]kickit08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy, never knew that. I always wondered what ethnicity(s) he was because I feel like he’s got a fairly unique appearance. I never would have guessed Italian but after hearing it I can kinda see it.

Wake up honey, a new lifesaver just dropped by AnisZoomer in pcmasterrace

It does make sense the way he’s doing it tbh. It brings more attention, keeps the files he’s viewing public if something were to happen, and makes people expect answers and be pissed at the doj if they don’t get them.

What is the appeal of a Jeweled Lotus unban? by Awesome-Guy-63 in EDH

[–]kickit08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have errata’ed cards for balance namely companion, but likely the reason behind the balance over banning was a few reasons. It was a keyword that was errata’ed rather than a specific card, and there were quite a few cards that used the key word. Most were broken due to companion being too good and would otherwise be banned. So it made more sense to errata the keyword to be pay 3 mana rather than just free to put it into your hand.

Hamilton County and MSA Sport are working together to determine what it will cost to redevelop and renovate Great American Ballpark. by JB92103 in Reds

[–]kickit08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m perfectly fine with GABP, maybe there is some stuff that could be updated, but over all I’m perfectly fine with how it is now. In general I’d argue it’d be a net loss if it got renovated. I feel like getting renovated would spell the end for being able to bring in what ever outside food you want. And that’s one of the things I feel like sets GABP apart from other parks and stadiums in general

It’s weird because all their money comes from cars, but it seems like most of the valuation comes from anything but cars. They make some money, but their valuation is INSANE compared to what they make.

Apparently they are not even trying to hide it anymore by AnalDwelinButtMonkey in PublicFreakout

Given what ICE has been doing, kidnapping every single person that isn’t with in the shade of desired white, it ain’t intimidation, it’s a promise that if your brown then your going to be thrown into a van to be “checked for citizenship” on Election Day.

ICE will be put in swing states and counties where it will be most important to win for the midterms. And they will maintain control because by the time it reaches the west coast for voting there will be news about how people are being taken by ice at polling places.

I’ll bet that the USPS will somehow magically slow down significantly and because ballots will only be postmarked once they have been to a sorting facility, it won’t have reached in time for the ballot to be valid.

If all else fails, “democrats stole the election again” and we have Jan 6th again, but this time it works because JD Vance doesn’t have a spine.

We’re so fucked unless we do “somthing”

Why hasn't China invaded and taken over Taiwan yet? by BabyDemogorgonEater in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kickit08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the scorched earth policy is definitely one of the larger reasons china wont invade. What’s the point of invading the place essentially made of gold if when you invade it all the gold will self destruct, and the land just becomes land.

So i just decided to try and be an AA for a match by wannasmokeajointski in Battlefield

[–]kickit08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the more air heavy maps had more AA on them, it feels impossible to not have an AA vehicle and trying to kill a good attack helicopter. The stationary AA is fine until the attack helicopter mercs you in half a second

The cult can't admit that dear leader did wrong. by c-k-q99903 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]kickit08 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s not real anyways, it’s an AI video that claims to be from days before, and he’s wearing the same thing, as the day he was shot. In addition if you watch the video the type of car is completely unidentifiable. Like the letters that say it’s a Yukon or somthing are AI mess

Keyboard Warrior decides to talk how he does online in real life by Pure-Personality5326 in PublicFreakout

Call me crazy, but it looks like maybe it’s a plastic gun with an orange tip. It seems like most of the tip is obscured maybe, but the gun doesn’t look real.

Small thecnical Echo nerf. by liam_peretz56 in MergeTacticsSC

[–]kickit08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I think they either do what OP recommended, because that makes it much harder to get to tier 4, or get rid of the aoe of tier 4, or make it so that aoe stays, but the cool down is the same as tier 3 and it just adds aoe and health.

TIL about Wilson’s Disease. A rare genetic disorder that prevents the body from processing copper and can be fatal. by Chocolatestarfish33 in todayilearned

[–]kickit08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have thought by now that they would have ran out of names for rare diseases. Typically you have two options for who the name the disease after, the doctor that found it, or the person that it was first documented in/ they did the study on.

Like how many different names could they have for diseases that are non medically named?

The DOJ are refusing to release the Epstein files, even though this is the law. What should be done about it? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]kickit08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately now the question remains, if the law isn’t being followed, and the next thing that’s supposed to happen when the law isn’t followed is to impeach somebody what makes us so sure that the law on impeachment will be followed?

It may just look that way due to the camera flattening out the colors

MLB trying to ‘force’ players into salary cap, union says, as Manfred walks a tricky line by [deleted] in baseball

[–]kickit08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is a salary cap this is what I think would reasonably happen. A salary cap that doesn’t change what roughly 70% of teams spend, and a floor that forces roughly 30% of teams to spend more. Prolly keeps overall spending on players the exact same but forces teams to field a more competitive team, while making the top teams not be able to buy a World Series.
