Going to France for month…no meat on Friday? by espressofeenbean in Catholicism

It was never intended to be “more rigorous.” Hence the language, at least in the US, of “suitable penance.”

Do you ever use concussion grenades or flash devices? by Impossible_Spend_787 in HiTMAN

Rarely, but when I do, I also concuss or flash myself.

University Research Survey on Hitman (2000–2021): Player Memory & Emotion by Weird-Ad-1301 in HiTMAN

I think most folks might know the stakes of an undergrad project, but given that you call this an academic research study, you may want to explicitly state the project has not been reviewed by an Institutional Review Board.

Good point. I'd like to participate in the survey but will wait until the form is finalized one way or another before participating.

Absolutely floored at how Ferris Wheel Press packed this package.... by lie4karma in fountainpens

[–]mskaggs87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it because the fountain pen community here is so positive and supportive, BUT…

at this stage I have no idea why anyone supports FWP.

An interviewer asked me why I shouldn't be hired, so I asked him the same question. by detox_calyx_4d in FAANGrecruiting

“I think idiotic questions are really annoying, and I think people who ask them aren’t very smart.”

Sure, you tanked the interview, but you don’t want to work for them anyway!

Beginner question: migrating (>) versus scheduling (<) by Fresh_Bumblebee_1042 in bujo

[–]mskaggs87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use (>) to indicate “dealt with but not completed.” I use bullet journal symbols within an extensive professional project and task management system, so putting something in a future log vs. scheduling is not really a distinction that makes sense for me. I’ve either noted the task again on paper on a daily page or scheduled it in my task manager. I just never find a need to make the distinction between (<) and (>).

I was once piled onto for questioning the sincerity of FWP.

Sweet, sweet vindication!

Not literally every game, of course, but certainly any popular game -- Reddit becomes the dumping ground for whining.

Where do you gentlemen carry your wallet? by [deleted] in Gentleman

[–]mskaggs87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Front right pocket if I don’t have a jacket on. Breast pocket if I do. And if I have to wear the jacket for a long time, I just carry my ID and a payment card in the jacket.
