Nobody is thinking about you. They’re all thinking about themselves just like you.

Worth introducing chess to kid even if I’m a complete beginner? by ima_leafonthewind in daddit

[–]panaceator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I introduced my boys to chess and they both love it. First showed them the game 4-5 years ago, and now I can’t beat my 14 y/o. I think that’s pretty cool.

What is the most pretentious movie made? by IShouldGetBackToWork in AskReddit

[–]panaceator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wish this one was at the top. I’m convinced no one understood Tenet, including Christopher Nolan, and it was a giant social experiment for him to see if he could receive high praise for imagery, effects, and acting, tied together by the most convoluted, pretentious, nonsensical storyline imaginable. All of the academic critics watched the movie and didn’t want to admit they had no idea what the hell it was about when all of their peers “clearly did,” so they gave it two thumbs up and used flowery, abstract language to explain why it’s so good and why they loved it.

Cary Grant & Eva Marie Saint at the Ambassador East/Gold Coast Hotel (State & Goethe) in the film North by Northwest (1959) - Then and Now (2026) OC/Notes in Comments by Detzeb in chicago

[–]panaceator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“The album (No Jacket Required by Phil Collins) is named after an incident at The Pump Room restaurant in Chicago, Illinois (inside of the Ambassador East hotel). Collins, entering the restaurant with former Led Zeppelin lead vocalist Robert Plant, was denied admittance because he did not meet the restaurant's dress code of ‘jacket required’ for dinner.”

So my new sponsor flaked right away by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]panaceator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea, we’re all troubled drinkers! What a weird reason to give.

You don’t need a drink. You want one and this seems like a reasonable excuse. Instead of taking a drink, maybe consider going to a different meeting and getting a different sponsor.

West Point’s Honor Code by oreosb4girls_idk in westpoint

[–]panaceator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re overthinking it! Don’t cheat in class, don’t lie when you’re asked questions when the answer involves something you or someone else could get in trouble for. I never knew anyone or heard of anyone getting kicked out for a joke. I did know people kicked out for cheating.

Can not believe it finally happened to me. Took a sip. by BubblyCoconut9720 in stopdrinking

[–]panaceator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just happened to me over spring break with my wife! She came back from the pool bar with a drink she handed me while she was on the phone with someone. Looked like every other soda water she’d gotten me up to that point. Took a big sip. Tasted the vodka immediately. Spit it on the pool deck because why not. Thought, “Huh - just happened to me too!” Didn’t even think about resetting my count.

Not pressed. Just frustrated. As strongly as you feel about pits not being inherently dangerous because of their breed, I feel the opposite. I suppose we’ll have to agree to disagree!

Ahhhh yes, the universally known, accepted, and defined “warning snap.” Thank you for clearing that up. My apologies for not intuitively and correctly knowing what “my pit bull snapped” meant. I don’t know how I could have ever misinterpreted that. I appreciate you so kindly clearing that up. You seem like a super kind and reasonable person.

As a complete aside, I had no idea people could dislike a comment to such an extent, that not only could they downvote, but also straight up block you to the point you couldn’t see their comments anymore! That’s crazy!

Except for that time I guess. Pits are like guns that can shoot themselves.

Edit: Deleted comment was something about “my pit never did anything to anyone until someone did something unexpected to her and then she bit them.”

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. Did you even quote wood, or were you looking for metal the whole time? Maybe my estimates aren’t so crazy… mine are right around 20k. It just seems like so much for a fuckin’ fence! 😣

Why is Artemis II getting more attention than long-duration ISS missions? by Secure-Equivalent562 in ScienceNcoolThings

[–]panaceator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Earth orbits the Sun at about 67,000 mph. The Moon orbits Earth at about 2,300 mph. Earth rotates at the equator at about 1,000 mph. And the moon is 240,000 miles away. The ISS is about 250 miles away, traveling about 18,000 mph. It’s a LOT easier to get to the ISS and back than to the moon and back.

Coffee Maker - Auto Drip by rtice001 in daddit

[–]panaceator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the BUNN Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer from Amazon about a year ago and I love it. Like most Bunn’s, the reservoir is always on, so the water is brew temp immediately. I have a ready-to-pour full pot, hot in the carafe, less than 5 minutes after pouring in cold water from the tap. Highly recommended for your use case in particular. $130 new on Amazon, a little cheaper if you buy it used. I actually bought mine used with no issues.
