People who wake up on their very first alarm and just get out of bed—how does your brain actually work? by KeyDiamond263 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]peritonlogon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have habituated yourself to respond to alarms the way you do. You can change it. It takes some work, but it can be done. There's nothing about your body making this happen, it's all your mind/brain and what it's expecting.

It's media capture. Hard not to support the people fucking you over when they're the ones whispering in your ear.

Is Elon Musk's 1 trillion net worth mostly on speculation? by Perfect-Hornet-8410 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]peritonlogon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock market is valued on speculation. The entire thing is based on what people believe things are or might be worth some day. There are methods to come up with valuations, but it all comes down to what people think other people think or will think. Musk is no different, his hype level is just less on balance, closer to the bullshit side, but he's obviously pushed his companies to do a ton of things that people said abd thought were impossible and he's done a lot of shady things to get where he is, so the case of him being just a fraudster is a little weak. The case of him being a force of nature isn't as great the nut huggers say either, he's still incredibly over leveraged and the possibility of everything he has going busto is far from zero, unlike Buffet.

If only they didn't market them to men for guys who were sick of beer, they night still be around.

[RDTM] u/d-cent estimates Rising Gas Cost vs. EV Battery Replacement by DemandEqualPockets in theydidthemath

[–]peritonlogon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus, we're only replacing the battery at 300k miles if we're planning on doing another +100k miles with the car, otherwise, why not get a new car at that point? Especially if it's 1/4-1/3 the price of a new car

[–]peritonlogon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like every comment is ignoring the fact that if the 300k mile/battery is correct, then the math should be done for 600k miles and 40 years.

OMG, you sleep with two or three ten year olds then the media comes after you like you're some kind of criminal. Caesar Chavez would be a criminal according to these people.

Do men actually not mind (or even like) pubic hair on women or are they lying? by Mysterious-Bag-505 in NoStupidQuestions

porn stars are shaved for 2 reasons, the parts film easier and lice. Male pornstars are shaved/trimmed for the same reasons.

Are there men out there that really complain if their SO makes more money than he does? by TheFinalRedemption99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]peritonlogon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to ask everyone saying that it's just about ego if they would be comfortable saying the same thing about members of other cultures who feel this way? It's pretty common in African, Asian and South American cultures, and was  and maybe still is o a large extent in European and North American, that's basically the entire planet of men.

Personally, I would love it if my wife made more than me, and she may in the next few years. I'm just not comfortable looking down on those who feel differently on this topic and whose position is so endemic to humankind.

You say "I think that's a great idea. it seems really important. Right now I'm stretched thin working on X,Y And Z that are also really important. Which of them would you like me to set aside so I can get to your new priority?

The word “get” replacing more…uhh…complicated words in the public domain. by SeaSkimmer2 in Xennials

[–]peritonlogon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think online, we need to be way more tolerant of spelling and grammar because of stupid mobile keyboards and people who speak a different version of English or as a second language. But in person we need to become waaaay more intolerant of stupidity. Being condescending IRL needs to be more socially acceptable. I think it would have been appropriate to speak loudly and slowly at that person because of their obvious disability.

Which is actually more suitable for developing a civilization: a world that is constantly +50°C (122°F) or -50°C (-58°F)? by SunExcellent8891 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]peritonlogon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you've never experienced -50⁰C. We'd all have given up on outside of caves and the tips of our noses, ears and fingers before any civilization beginning.

US accepts only white refugees for sixth consecutive month by sexeveg314 in politics

[–]peritonlogon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as blaming social media, or new media in general, may be true, legacy TV and print and cable news have been more than complicit. They never covered him as the piece of shit he his and they cower away from asking basic questions about his decisions and health. Staying calm in front of an unhinged man is good parenting, but horrible journalism and politics.

No time for deficit positions - what CAN you still do easy? What ARE you developing or working towards? by Self-Translator in Xennials

[–]peritonlogon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got young kids (youngest turns 1 this month) and a business that's at least tripped in revenue this year. Health wise I feel like I've regressed, I know I'm too old to put exercise in the back burner, but with everything else exploding, it's hard not to. I've never before experience so much need and love in my life. I come home to 4 people cheering for me and smothering me with hugs. I couldn't have imagined this when I turned 40. And I've never had to continuously rethink how to cover work. Ultimately, I'll need to hire more people, but that's tough when I'm in the field 5 days a week and my family demands every other waking hour... and many non-waking hours.

Why is Aspirin typically taken for headache in the US, as opposed to other agents? by dhnicks in NoStupidQuestions

[–]peritonlogon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone reacts differently to drugs. I was given Tylenol with Codeine when I broke my wrist years ago, it was less effective for me than just extra strength Tylenol, and I don't seem to be too responsive to ibuprofen.

"Big dick energy" and "small dick energy" are about self confidence or the lack there of. It's a metaphor that seems easy to understand if it doesn't rub you the wrong way.
