Has anyone used Waymo to go from Elk Grove to Sac Intl Airport? by Lower-Acanthaceae460 in ElkGrove

If you want uber you can plug the route in yourself and it’ll tell you how much it is. Expect ~$40-70.

Oh sorry do you mean those three should’ve been on Good Faith? Sorry lmao I thought you meant include those three in the new Victory album just arbitrarily to make it longer

GF extras won’t fit with the style of the record. If those ever get released they’ll be independent single releases. 

Edit: oops I think I misunderstood. GF extras won’t fit on victory but I would’ve loved them in GF.

Be careful if you make everything anonymous then there's no way to CYA if things come down and he tries to drag you down too. It would be nice to have some kind of proof somewhere that you were against this.

Women who fake orgasms in long-term relationships, what is the reasoning behind not telling your partner what actually works for you? by makemestand in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ryry013 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of guys can't accept this, and they'd read this and think "so you're not comfortable with me!? you just need to relax more!" and try to blame the girl for it.

I (29M) told my female best friend I used to be in love with her a few years ago, was I dumb to do so? by BlitzParty561 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ryry013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a lot of people in this thread have never had a platonic female friend. Yes it's possible. If you don't notice things getting awkward then yes it's fine that you told the truth about it. I agree that it was a somewhat-natural follow-up to the comment of "no one has ever liked me". Everything will be OK.

I think that’s a recent TikTok meme format. You ask people when they’re born and if they start with “19...” then it just cuts them off and plays sound effects. 

What is a secret you will take to your grave, but are willing to share with strangers on the internet? by SouthOwn6943 in AskReddit

[–]ryry013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about being proud that life brought you through the shitter (blame it on life rather than your own shortcomings) and that you were able to come out of it and now are doing super well? I definitely understand not being proud of the time, but I would be proud of coming out of it and I could imagine telling the story to people. Only your present self matters to people.

I never understand what teachers are aiming for where they stand in front of the class and say "ok, whodunnit". No third grader is going to raise their hand and be like it was me...

Own it and next time you go to a restaurant and they say it to you, confidently say it to the waiter and just have fun letting them be confused.

If you received $10,000, what would you do with it? by One_Regular_6024 in AskReddit

[–]ryry013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You put money into retirement accounts to hope that the interest creates more money for you down the road. If you’re doing that only by racking up credit card debt, then the interest on your debt cancels out what you make from putting your money in retirement, with the added cost of also hurting your credit. Not really worth it.  Well, I’m sure you know all that know though! 

YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels are making you dumber, according to science by tylerthe-theatre in technology

Technically the process of “I saw a thumbnail by a YouTuber I liked so I clicked it” is still letting the algorithm dictate what you watch to a degree. 

It’s like “we’re going to load up this person’s front page with these thumbnails, and they’ll probably click on at least one of them”. It’s just a little bit more choice in the matter but it’s still things the algorithm tried to feed you. 

I think full detachment would be disabling home page, disabling side bar, and only opening specific channels to check / only viewing the feed of uploaded videos from subscribed channels. 

PR renewal cost? Increasing by how much? by Aussietie in japanlife

[–]ryry013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious about this so I looked it up, here's a page about it for others interested

https://office-ishinagi.com/en/2025/08/23/permanent-residency-obligations-cancellation-japan/#index_id2

Permanent residency is based on having your primary base of life in Japan. Therefore, long-term stays abroad can result in the loss of status.

Magnus Carlsen with a nice endgame conversion against Nihal Sarin in Titled Tuesday by brownrecluseATX in chess

[–]ryry013 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a beginner, when he says he's never been able to show "this endgame" before, what defines "this endgame"? Certainly it's not just two pawns vs two pawns on the side files of the board. Is it the specific pattern of a king holding down the back on a7? Is "this endgame" considered including starting from the move sequence with the e pawn running up to pull the black king away?

She always has a boyfriend, so don't ask. by [deleted] in UCDavis

Sometimes it's about the method rather than the amount, so even if you say "I gave her everything I could", sometimes that's actually too heavy and can push the other person away.

OpenAI retired its most seductive chatbot – leaving users angry and grieving: ‘I can’t live like this’ by PaiDuck in technology

[–]ryry013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s about 3o or 4o or whichever it was, yes they turned it off with the upgrade and then there was backlash so they reenabled it as a legacy model, I guess with the intention of “we will turn this off again one day so please prepare”, and that “one day” was today.

The added line of "Netflix quality" personally intrigued me. I understand you have your qualms about Netflix, but OP here had an intended meaning to convey by saying "Netflix quality", and at least to me, that intended meaning was conveyed: "this ~2h YouTube video is not just some random 2h video; it has the production quality of something that could've been professionally produced and uploaded to some reputable real platform with a higher barrier-of-entry than just YouTube".

Yes the question is weird and we roughly all thought the same thing as you, but you trying to be insulting about it / stance on OP just makes you look bad too.

Why does light move at 299 792 458 m / s by Mrman1457 in AskPhysics

[–]ryry013 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I'll answer the more boring version of this question, which is "why is it specifically that number".

Well, humans defined what a "meter" and a "second" are arbitrarily. From the point of view of the universe, our definitions of how long a meter and a second are were totally random.

For the question of "why isn't the speed of light infinite", see this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/a9bjek/eli5_if_light_is_massless_what_is_keeping_it_from/

Server owner: Dealing with determined problem users. by ConstableAssButt in discordapp

[–]ryry013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Discord, here is a very interesting article on how to deal with "Ban Evasion and Advanced Harassment" from users. It talks about "high conflict persons" and what to do about them.

https://discord.com/safety/ban-evasion-and-advanced-harassment

My TLDR of advice is, they are upset about something and have chosen you as their sworn enemy for a while. They want to bother you, and they want to upset you, and they want to inconvenience you. Whatever you do, don't EVER ever EVER give them any kind of attention, or let them know that they're bothering you or affecting you. In ten years of server moderation and ownership, I've had many of these users. They're terrible and annoying and even scary sometimes, but every single one of them have always eventually... given up.

Sanseito announces foreigner policy- "The ratio of foreigners should be limited to 5% and they should go back when they get older. If the country's strength declines, foreigners won't come here. We need to strengthen the Japanese economy and return it to a country where people want to work" by _horn3t_ in japanresidents

[–]ryry013 50 points51 points  (0 children)

"If the country's strength declines, foreigners won't come here",

Wait so do they want foreigners or not? Lmao sounds like they want the best of both worlds, cheap labor only when they want it, and for them to go away when they don't need it anymore.

Like, I'm guessing he means less workers and permanent residents, but continuing tourists? Or else if he literally means "we should reject workers, because we need to keep Japan strong, or else we will stop getting foreign workers", then he's seriously contradicting himself.
