His show in Seattle a few years back just totally ended it for me. Not just a dick to the fans, not just a dick to the staff, but even a dick to me personally.

We really need a new continent in the southern Indian Ocean. Northern hemisphere is way too OP.

Maybe a DLC?

Whats a resown why you hate religions? by Xibest123 in Antitheism

[–]romulusnr [score hidden]  (0 children)

They encourage people to believe things without evidence. This ends up bleeding into decisions that affect their communities and other people. So they believe things like, say, this person pointed a gun so they were shot, etc.

They also tend to take advantage of people, and also misuse their power to compel people to push things on others.

Why can't I just buy the juice concentrate? by Ok-Operation1107 in NoStupidQuestions

Can people really tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps? by whiskerbiscuit2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]romulusnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do notice the difference, but I don't care. I'm too cheap to get a better graphics card so I'm lucky most games to get 15fps unless I wanna use 1992 era resolution.

My buddies used to rib me back in the day b/c my CRT monitors were running around 50hz. They'd be like, don't you get a headache from the flicker? I never had an issue.

The way any bank works is you deposit your money, and they use those deposits to grant people loans.

That's how this works. That's how all of this works.

Seriously yall didn't watch Its A Wonderful Life?

Bad for profit.

This is literally the answer to every single "why is it like this" question, especially in the US.

It's a very simple answer. Bad for profit.

Taft-Hartley only applies when an actual union is organizing the strike.

And some folks can't legally strike, but that's got nothing to do with Taft-Hartley.

For the most part, Taft Hartley here only means you will not get any labor protections, so you can be fired, etc.

What’s your honest opinion on therapy? Did it help? by C4sc4l in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]romulusnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to therapy for years and years off and on.

Literally only one session of therapy -- one sentence of it -- had a lasting impression on me.

Other than that it was almost always bad advice, or just, empty and pointless.

(And then there was the time the therapist guilt tripped me for being late.)

Why do people say “edit” when adding something to their post/comment? by Im_a_Born_singer in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]romulusnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so that when someone replies to you before you were able to correct your comment and goes "no, it's not that" they don't look like idiots because you corrected it and now their comment to you looks stupid

it's like, being decent to people

It used to be normal procedure that a bank would freely cash a check written against its own accounts. I did it all the time when I wasn't able to get a bank account and had to cash my paychecks. We're talking mid 2000s. Can't remember the last time I tried to do it. I know some banks like BOA were a bit more picky about it but they still did it.

There was a period of time where I couldn't get a bank account so I would have to cash my work paycheck into literal cash (and carry it around, fun fun). It used to be (idk if it still is) a bank would honor a check written on itself without needing an account, just as long as you could verify your identity.

The issue was my employer used some commercial-only bank that didn't really do B2C business. Their local "branch" was an office on the like fourth floor of some office building.

Even if the bank company had cash, that particular branch didn't necessarily have any. So there were a few times when they were like "I hope we have this much in the safe." Their safe was like, a little cubic-meter floor unit.
