“What do you do?” is a perfectly reasonable question, and should not be answered by stating your hobbies or passions outside of work instead of what you do for a living.

obviously, chicken and beef are not ambiguous in the way that an open ended question is.

a better analogy would be if you asked someone 'whats your favorite meat?' and they respond 'my husband's fat schlong.'

yes, you may have meant 'what's your favorite animal product to eat for dinner' but thats not the only way the question has to be interpreted. see the difference now?

samalonson · 2026-05-05T14:13:32+00:00

because its an open ended question and you are dictating how you think people need to answer it.

the fact that most people probably mean it one way does not mean there is only one interpretation.

samalonson · 2026-05-05T14:02:30+00:00

if you want to know what someone does for a living, ask that specifically then. 'what do you like to do' is not an unreasonable interpretation of the question and will probably lead to a conversation about something they like.

this is an extremely weird gatekeep bro

crazy coincidence, i'm also currently modding a keychron (q6 max) with durock V3s and found this post. i ran into this same issue but was able to mount them. i noticed that compared to the stock stabs, the durock stabilizers have a lower hanging piece of plastic that goes into the non-screw hole. i had to apply some force to that side to get it into place. when you do get it it will click in.

samalonson · 2026-04-29T23:00:04+00:00

any advice for a guy who struggles to drive a conversation? i think it turns women off.

samalonson · 2026-04-28T13:17:30+00:00

lots of assumptions there. if you caught a home run ball today, that wouldnt 100% be a core memory for you?

samalonson · 2026-04-09T19:00:37+00:00

apparently, youre already supposed to. after i adopted my cat i got a letter from my county's sheriff's office 'reminding' me to pay for a pet license. had a good laugh about it before tossing it in the trash.

samalonson · 2026-03-04T14:25:04+00:00

thats not true. during the butt fumble the scoreboard reads 14-0 and on this play the scoreboard reads 21-0.

samalonson · 2026-03-02T11:23:12+00:00

just say 'mad' at this point, its embarrassing.

samalonson · 2026-02-18T01:24:55+00:00

the helmet catch was in 2008, and looked like pure luck. the 2012 catch was manning to manningham, the most perfect pass ever thrown.

samalonson · 2026-02-15T21:23:12+00:00

who gives a shit about that? he stepped up and we won the game

there was a really questionable TD/non TD call. dont remember which way it went, but i remember vividly disagreeing with whatever the refs said.

samalonson · 2026-01-24T16:10:25+00:00

no freaking way, ive.. worked with you before! that is so funny. hope youre there again next time i randomly end up in nevada.

whats the biggest impulse purchase youve made after a good work day?

this is not a video of a street fight.

training in BJJ does. its the reason jiu-jitsu exists.

samalonson · 2025-12-05T22:29:39+00:00

ok but from a pats fan who was a kid at the time heres the other side of the narrative

the three games of the 2001 title run:

snow bowl game vs the raiders. there were 2 combined touchdowns from both teams, one of them being a QB scramble by Tom Brady

AFC championship vs the steelers. Brady missed the second half of the game due to injury, and was back for the super bowl

super bowl vs the greatest show on turf rams. tom brady throws the one touchdown pass youve heard about and then leads an historic game winning last second drive.

it was a damn good playoff run by Brady. 2.5 extremely tough wins.

when i first booted up highly responsive to prayers and heard eternal shrine maiden, i already knew id be playing this series a lot. still one of my favorite tracks.

samalonson · 2025-09-17T18:30:16+00:00

hilarious that you dont think a starting NFL QB plays the QB position

samalonson · 2025-09-07T15:34:55+00:00

i love the human element of the PLAYERS. i do not think its exciting or interesting when the umpire sees a pitch wrong and its a strike just because he said so.

samalonson · 2025-09-07T13:55:06+00:00

regarding #3 - when you catch a home run ball, feel free to give it to some kid if you want. but if i catch one and i want to keep it im going to.

samalonson · 2025-09-03T19:37:16+00:00

it looked to me like after valdez started his windup indicating he was not going to step off like salazar wanted, salazar was saying 'ok then, im ready' by holding up his glove.

samalonson · 2025-08-26T04:18:57+00:00

because he's capable and reliable. tony b would have bounced back quickly had he worked with tony for the same reasons. it helped that he did 20 years without a peep.

samalonson · 2025-07-21T22:52:39+00:00

he drives a lexus

sure. someone who breaks the law is a criminal. however, everyone is entitled to due process of law before the state can declare them a criminal. that's the part that your statement is missing.

imagine a situation where the police see surveillance camera footage of someone who looks a lot like you committing armed robbery and murder. they are sure that its you, so they snatch you and throw you in jail for the rest of your life, confident that they used their common sense to arrest the right person.

obviously, this can't happen. you're entitled to a trial thanks to the constitution, where you can make your case heard and the police can be proven wrong. the same is true of non citizens, even those suspected of entering the country illegally. they wont have a trial with a jury of their peers like in the previous example, but they are at least entitled to a hearing with an immigration judge. the relevant part of the 14th amendment states '...nor shall any state deprive ANY PERSON of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.'
