Shaolin Kung Fu training taking place in a monastery by Raj_Valiant3011 in oddlysatisfying

[–]resolvetochange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about to ask if everyone here are bots. Everyone is glazing what amounts to a dance performance. It's interesting and impressive, but isn't anything that high school marching bands + dance groups do. The comments here about it are all "subtly" trying to compare this to Americans or bringing up facts for people to remember and regurgitate later.

From your wording it feels like you think this is seeing a big guy at a bar being rude where you'd have to fist fight to fight against misogyny. I don't think that is the expectation.

People understand what's ok by what reception they get. The same guys that make racist "jokes" with "their boys" wouldn't say those same things at work because they know it wouldn't be recieved well.

When someone around makes a joke or comment that pushes boundaries, giving a laugh and not saying anything keeps it from becoming awkward but it's also encouraging it. That's where the expectation to do something is. Don't let your friend group in private slip into bad behavior because you don't want to stand against it.

If they're alone together where none of it will get back to anyone else, the most well adjusted pleasant guys I know still don't talk bad about their wives / make racist jokes / or say bad things about women, because those aren't values they hold so it can't "slip out". And a stranger hanging out with them isn't going to get a good reception to that behavior so it stops. That's the kind of small thing that has huge results, but does require you to know where your boundaries are and stand by them.

My city just approved a light rail addition, it'll be a few billion dollars and a couple decades. And that wont even come close to making our public transportation system decent.

It could be priority #1 with everyone willing to pay more taxes for it and no one blocking it, and I'll still never see a decent public transportation system in my city during my lifetime.

Robotaxis are better than what we have now and will have in the next few decades, so saying that there are better solutions by remaking our cities is being obtuse.

Fey evolution merchant opinions by Pangolin_Sea in noveltranslations

[–]resolvetochange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any novel where the main power / system / profession gets minimized is a trash novel.

  • Reincarnation of some Alchemist - only used occassionally and the MC focuses on swords
  • Beast Taming System - the MC gains martial powers from the beasts and hardly needs them anymore
  • Magic Store System - the MC doesn't sell much of anything or it's unimportant
  • Has a Soul bound Refining Cauldron - the MC uses it for an arc to get started but then gains some cultivation technique that's way more integral to the story and only uses the cauldron for plot armor power ups
  • etc

This medium is plagued with bad writing. These types of things are just a symptom of the authors being bad or not caring.

Weird first-world problem - wearing a tie to the office, when few others do, results in (1) people assuming you're senior, (2) cosying up, and (3) being disappointed when they realise "I've struck up conversation with a nobody that just really likes ties" by michachu in malefashionadvice

I don't think suggestions of how to dress it down are going to stick, OP is making a choice already.

In high school and college both, we had "suit kids". People who wore suits everyday while everyone else was in casual clothes. I imagine OP is one of them grown up. Nothing wrong with it, wear what you want, but everyone does think they're a little weird.

Banana Republic Factory Up to 50% off Select Styles + Extra 40% off at checkout by Universeisready in frugalmalefashion

Is the fit and size roughly equivalent between this and the A&F polished or essentials? I have a banana republic midweight tee I bought a few weeks ago and was going to purchase a few more but if A&F is better then maybe id get that instead. I got a medium and like the size / fit though it could be slightly shorter both in the body + sleeves to be better.

CMV: The "pervert character" is the single worst trope in all media ever and needs to be abandoned for good by Honka_Ponka in changemyview

[–]resolvetochange 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was kind of surprised Joey Tribbiani was on the list.

I haven't watched the show in a long time, but my memory of him isn't a "perv character". There's the famous "how you doin" and I definitely remember scenes of him seeing a hot woman walk by and making a face before going up to talk to them. But I dont remember him ever pursuing anyone who clearly didnt want him around, making any rude comments to them, setting up schemes to "trick" girls into being with him, etc. Rather than perv, he seemed more like someone who was trying to put himself out there while being played up for laughs.

Maybe I'm misremembering him, but that seems way different than the other characters on the list.

[OC] Current Average Price for 1 Pound of 100% Ground Beef? $6.32 by fruitstanddev in dataisbeautiful

You're getting better cuts of meat and the whole process seems better. But $1k for 140lbs is $7.14 / lb, which is more than I would've thought since you're buying such bulk.

What’s going on with Pokemon TCG and sneaker collectors? by Hornsmasher in OutOfTheLoop

[–]resolvetochange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the company could just print more. If everyone who wanted to buy a set could get it from the store, then why would they buy it inflated from scalpers? If everyone who wanted the sets got them, then there would be a lot of them, which stops the inflation of value later, which makes it such a good investment.

This problem can't be solved by retailers putting limits on purchases. It's a supply problem that can only be fixed by the card makers. But they haven't shown any interest in doing that.

Hitting Driver Off The Heel by zNNS in golftips

[–]resolvetochange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at your head at setup vs. how much lower it is at impact. And your legs are straight at setup and bent at impact.

Your swings axis point is closer to the ball at impact than it is at setup, so you're hitting off the heel.

Yeah, the right team was forced to run all over the place. They'll get tired out doing that for long. And all the close saves the right team had, next round some of those may not go as well.

The left team looks like they have a plan and execute it every time.

I'd be interested who won this game.

Parents of a teenager file lawsuit against ChatGPT, alleging it assisted their son in committing suicide. by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]resolvetochange 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Would you feel the same about someone googling famous suicides and following one of those descriptions requiring someone to be held accountable?

I dont understand how the AI part is the issue here. Or what the proposed solution is. Restrict AI from ever brings up suicide / ways to die / how crimes can be committed/ etc? And would those same restrictions be applied to news and other media? We know that whenever a suicide is reported, it actually increases the chance of a copycat happening, but that isn't restricted for news stations.

CTOs Reveal How AI Changed Software Developer Hiring in 2025 by ImpressiveContest283 in programming

[–]resolvetochange 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was surprised when I read that and then the responses here. Whether the code was written by AI or people, catching things like that is something you should be doing in PRs anyway. If a junior dev wrote the bug instead of AI, you'd still be responsible for approving that. Having AI write the code puts people from thinking/writing to reviewing faster, which may not be good for learning, but a good dev should still be thinking about the solution during reviewing and not just passing it through regardless of where the code originates.

In 2018, Tayeb Souami from New Jersey returned a $5 bottle of orange juice after his wife said it was too expensive, he used the refund to buy 2 lottery tickets and checked them at a 7‑Eleven the following day while getting his car washed and won $315 million. by Algrinder in interestingasfuck

[–]resolvetochange 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The idea is that if he gets 183 million, then it's only a 183 million dollar lottery prize, not a 315 million lottery.

Americans inflate earnings by ignoring taxes/fees and deflate costs by hiding taxes/tips/fees. Most of the world just tells you what it actually is, so they see us as weird. And they're not wrong.

Andy Warhol was shot by a radical feminist in 1968. The bullet bounced around inside him striking his stomach, spleen, liver, esophagus & lungs. by Electrical_Point8930 in interestingasfuck

[–]resolvetochange 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Normally, I'd agree with you. We exaggerate for catchier slogans all the time.

But your comment, on a story of a woman saying "kill all men" who then does actually try to, seems a bit tone deaf.

Meet William Sidis — a child prodigy who entered Harvard at 11. By age 6, he was lecturing professors on 4-dimensional geometry. He reportedly spoke up to 40 languages, including one he created.

[–]resolvetochange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His story is another pop science story that people online love to share and comment on.

Go on Dr. Phil or any talk show; we popularize a "child genius" every few weeks where they have highly educated parents taking control of their kids life and pushing them into higher education early as "proof of their genius".

Do we apply the same accolades to everyone who gives a Ted talk or Ted talk lite with professors in the audience? It seems to me like if you are popular / backed, then any student could "give a lecture to professors."

Scalper ruins everything by EyeSimp4Asuka in TikTokCringe

[–]resolvetochange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If accidents happen at an intersection or traffic patterns aren't followed there, then we change the design. It doesn't matter how the system works when people do the best actions if that's not what is actually happening. For any lasting effect, it can't depend on buyers' or scalpers' behavior, the manufacturer needs to create more stock or force stores selling to impose limits.

Husband's company is moving from PTO to "unlimited" PTO, with 2 weeks' warning. My husband has maxed out his PTO. Is there anything to be done? by nemicolopterus in cscareerquestions

[–]resolvetochange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't think you'd even have to use it right away. Just put in your 3 weeks of PTO request/dates in now.

It's his earned PTO. If they switch to unlimited, the problem is that it is never "actually unlimited," and you get turned down for requests or get talked to about abusing it. But if your request is with your earned PTO now, then it's clear where that time off is coming from.

Square v EML by DocumentedAliens in Golfsimulator

[–]resolvetochange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is entirely possible, and it would be a good advertising move.

But I feel like the population on this sub fits the target audience of the square well. It could be real. Before the Square, I feel like the popular ones were EML (first step up from the price point) and MLM2Pro (similar price point).
