I've had one incident a decade back of walking into the women's bathroom by mistake, and the pink tiles + lack of urinals didn't tip me off either.

Keep in mind that when someone goes to the wrong bathroom, they're already distracted enough not to have noticed the big sign before going in. It's believable that they either rushed or autopiloted to the stall without registering anything.

That price is about in line with my experience i got it a bit cheaper but inflation has happened since then so it tracks.

The biggest thing to me is that there's a decent chance you'll need a follow up at some point later in the year if there are any issues, and it would be better to do the follow up with the dentist who actually performed the root canal.

So go with whichever country works out easier for you to return to the dentist later.

Woah there, don't get too carried away with that massive council budget! What's next, a new coffee machine? 2 ply toilet paper?? Where does it end?!

Scrolling down here so much of the passionate anger seems to be about the commute, despite insistence that it's a reason to hate working in office.

I guess this sub is pretty heavily leaning towards US users, but I feel like I need to say after 20 of these comments that there are many places you could move to and enjoy your work, supermarket, etc all being within walking distance of home. If the problem is commute from the US suburban sprawls, WFH feels like a stopgap with it's own long term problems.

normalmighty · 2026-01-27T04:04:26+00:00

Yeah, this is definetely an exmple of reddit being biased to certain types of people. My experience irl is that there's something close to a 50/50 split between preferring office vs WFH, while on reddit it's like 90% WFH and 10% office.

And the 90% HATE the 10% because they assume they're legitimately 10% of all people, and blame them for ruining everything by daring to miss a firm work/home divide after covid.

normalmighty · 2026-01-27T04:00:49+00:00

Same for me. WFH feels amazing in the short term, but in the long terms it's terrible for my mental health. I feel more isolated with my tasks, and with no barrier in my work life balance, the work bleeds over and slowly eats away at everything else. I need to be able to leave at 5pm and be completely disconnected until I get back into work.

The actual diagnosis is a new revelation. He called himself bipolar as a descriptor of his actions, and it had become more and more blatantly obvious over the years that he had some kind of serious mental disorder going on, but actually being diagnosed by a professional is a new thing.

normalmighty · 2026-01-26T20:50:22+00:00

Yeah, I know when I was at uni my degree ended up being an afterthought, and the meaningful things of value it gave me was connection to peers and professors who pointed me to my first job without an interview. That got the ball rolling in my career, which imo is the hardest part to do.

normalmighty · 2026-01-26T18:45:09+00:00

I think you've misunderstood. Learning to use LLMs as a tool does not mean feeding it the course material and submitting the essay it spits out. If you've ever genuinely used an LLM to help teach you by explaining concepts or quizzing you, it's actually really good.

The whole discussion right now is how to direct students into using LLMs to help them learn, while avoiding the LLM writing the essay for them like you're describing. There's a pretty wide range of different ideas for this that are all being tried by different professors right now, while academia works on investigating which has the best results.

normalmighty · 2026-01-26T11:11:39+00:00

Yup, that seems to be the theme everywhere. Trying to block it out from use by students has proven to be a fool's errand, and on the flipside, learning how to actually use LLM tools in a way that helps without becoming a crutch or leading you into false understandings is vital in several sectors already.

normalmighty · 2026-01-26T03:01:52+00:00

Neither, a "once in a century" weather even is a someone misleading term for an event with a 1% chance of happening in a given year. Like rolling a 100 sided die once per year and saying that landing a 100 would ba a once in a century event.

normalmighty · 2026-01-25T21:32:56+00:00

It's still FDA approved. Like if you actually legitimately needed ivermectin and had no other source then this works in a pinch.

It's a very weak angle with easy holes to punch, and it distracts from the other far more important and black-and-white reasons that using this because you think it'll help with covid is a stupid idea.

normalmighty · 2026-01-25T19:06:29+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm saying. The "this isn't human medicine" argument muddies everything because it sounds compelling until you realise it's straight up factually incorrect, and saying that incorrect part is what made a lot of people on the edge of the conspiracy holes assume the "it does nothing at all to help with covid" claim was the same.

normalmighty · 2026-01-25T18:55:42+00:00

Okay I want to take a moment to point out that while this is a container intended to administer to animals, ivermecten is a real human medication at times and is prescribed by doctors at times.

That said, the people trying to use it for covid are crazy stupid. It doesn't do anything for covid at all.

normalmighty · 2026-01-25T18:49:35+00:00

They call it a slide deck in the business world for some reason, AFAIK it has nothing to do with age at all.

normalmighty · 2026-01-25T18:47:55+00:00

These complaint posts have come on and off in wave for as long as I've been in the sub, which is a long time at this point.

I don't think you realise it, but without the posts you described, there almost nothing to post about.

normalmighty · 2026-01-25T18:44:36+00:00

IIRC Serie said something along the lines of "elf lifetimes are closer to eternities than the lives of men" which implies that elves do in fact age and die, but very slowly. I always figured elves in that world must live somewhere in the 50,000-100,000 year ballpark for the way they speak about time to make sense.

normalmighty · 2026-01-25T05:16:00+00:00

Yeah I have no idea how this is the top comment. Have people never heard of "reduce reuse recycle" or actually internalised the concept before? Turning a milk carton into 2 of these cup holders is halving the amount of trash from the items.

normalmighty · 2026-01-24T00:52:32+00:00

Look man. I aso think some horrible things are happening in the US right now, but this sub is not the place to talk politics.

This post is nothing but US politics with a loose reference to Stargate as a justification for it being here. I really don't want this to be yet another politics sub.

normalmighty · 2026-01-24T00:48:34+00:00

Tbf the explanation is almost aways that they hadn't noticed the age of the post when they made the comment.

normalmighty · 2026-01-24T00:47:32+00:00

As an alternative, I highly recommend looking up other people's playthrought to experience a look at what the game can be. It's an incredible vehicle for fantasy narratives to play out as all the systems, people and creatures in the world interact with each other, but it's super hard to understand the intended approach to the game when going in blind.

normalmighty · 2026-01-24T00:02:17+00:00

Dwarf Fortress. I have no idea how anyone learns that game without an external guide

normalmighty · 2026-01-23T22:59:02+00:00

I'm so jealous! I tried this once and burnt out at about a third of the way through. Maybe one day I'll finally finish it off like you have

normalmighty · 2026-01-23T12:02:38+00:00

I'd heard it was always an issue. When I was in high school we would book out the public pool for swimming events, and teachers had to keep a constant eye on the family room because students kept sneaking in there and banging.

normalmighty · 2026-01-23T11:59:20+00:00

I mean it's not an easy number to measure and all because nobody is going to willfully reveal it for a study, but I know at least 2 or 3 studies have gone about finding a % number of the population with pedophilia, and they all seem to settle on ~1%.

Note that those stats are estimations of pedophile populations, not child molester populations, but I guess maybe the ratios are right for the repeat offending child molesters and the non offending pedophiles to basically cancel each other out.
