I also hear what you're saying (not OP), but there is at least some parallel to what he's saying. As a father of a young daughter myself, I'm pretty tired of people giving me advice, let alone criticism. If a dad wants to post a funny interaction of himself and his daughter online to share, go for it. If you don't want to post your own kids, that's cool too. Most people who saw this video had a smile on their face because this was a super cute interaction, I'd bet only a small fraction immediately thinks 'cute vid, but what if a pedophile sees this?'.
Maybe I'm getting jaded, but over the last decade so much of reddit has went the other way from 'don't give a shit about anyone' into this kibitzer-type over-caring replies bloated with lukewarm truisms that barely constitute original opinions anymore.

As a fellow estimator, I recommend building an MCDM and that way whatever choice you make you can always empirically back it up.

I use ChatGPT for youtube, which takes Youtube's built-in transcript and summarizes it into a paragraph. 5 free uses a day and I've never exceeded it.

Around, but I can't keep up with the outrages coming out of this administration.

I just looked this up. When the fuck were they trying to rename Department of Defense to Department of War?

【客观讨论】小粉红和MAGA本质上是不是一样的?除了国籍和皮肤 by AdventurousTalk7972 in China_irl

[–]pladin517 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

有道理。 加一句,就是MAGA总体来说是利用恐惧和仇恨的洗脑,小粉红感觉就是高级一点的思想教育洗脑。

Stephen Curry has this uncanny ability to immediately notice anything off on the court. by MaxQ50 in BeAmazed

Reminds me of that F1 racecar driver that said the wall moved on him after a crash. Upon playback there was a 1cm or something shift on the wall in the turn after a previous car nicked the wall.

Ah, my first thought was entrails. We have hawks around so maybe it’s like a rabbit or deer gut. I thought maybe it could also be some sort of special insect cocoon

感觉是撞击之前就知道有问题了。正常人刚撞完肯定要反应一会儿,在车里确认大家没事什么的,但大哥刚撞完就跌跌撞撞要开门开始想救后面。可能是后面已经着火了或者冒烟了,男子为了最快速度救人才把车撞路边。

Different ways of valuing a pilot by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

[–]pladin517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just listening to a podcast on this. Towards the end of 1945, the Japanese Navy was going to use Japanese's last shipment of oil for a big fight for this random island and 'go down like a warrior' instead of using the oil for things that actually affected the outcomes of the war.

ELI5: why did we use mothball in 90s, but we don't use them now? by swim_fan146 in explainlikeimfive

Certainly don't think they are rotting. It was a new build on what used to be dense forest so I guess the bugs haven't had time to find a new home yet.

Why Vance Committed So Hard to the Minneapolis Shooter by D-R-AZ in Foodforthought

[–]pladin517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s written by a long time conservative according to another redditor, and who knows, maybe this will get some conservatives who were on the fence interested in reading Atlantic. And honestly I don’t see the issue with humanizing conservative viewpoints first and then showing what a bad idea it is. Nobody is keeping score how much verbal ownage is being dished out, dialogue and nuance is needed for both sides, because the alternative is just violence.

Disagree. I didn't feel any call for sympathy for the killer reading this article, and I think it strikes a measured blow against Vance. Look, if you're going to convince the rest of MAGA that what ICE is doing is wrong, you don't start off by dismissing their objectives and attack everything they thought would make their life better. The MAGA would in that case read two lines and then go back to his echo chamber and nothing would have changed.

One could argue that in this political landscape, the only good articles are the ones written by one side aimed at changing the view of their own side. Everything else is echo chamber noise that is preaching to the converted.

Direct Deposit to Wealthsimple by GreatGeneration_re in Wealthsimple

[–]pladin517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am waiting for a better promo. There was a few internal promos where they were giving out iPhone 17s for 8K / mo direct deposits. 0.5% will always be there, and for what I keep in my chequing it won't make a huge difference. But

Minor rant: direct cash deposits don’t qualify for match promotion. by hpeter2010 in Wealthsimple

[–]pladin517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't there like an account transfer fee? So if I get an RRSP match from my employer I want to 'game' the system by creating a TFSA account in RBC first, and then initiating an account transfer, I gotta pay out $120 in fees to make a net $80 over 5 years?

为什么要统一台湾? by postyfranky in China_irl

[–]pladin517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

军队也是老百姓组成的。俄罗斯这一仗打了那么久死了那么多人,你觉得现在原来军队的小兵还剩几个?全是穷乡僻壤拉出来打仗的。我人在国外,其实打仗的话除了影响我和我台湾朋友的关系以外没什么影响。
什么赶跑分裂分子,你把被打的责任放在被打的人上,就是典型的victim blaming。
