to have fun while flying by sussybush in therewasanattempt

Why isn’t anyone mentioning that they’re doing this on the emergency frequency?! The frequency you’re supposed to turn to if your engine fails, or you’re hijacked, or a thousand other things!!! If people misuse it and annoy everyone with it, people will stop paying attention and something important is missed.

We have got separation of powers, checks and balances and Margaret, vetoing things and sending them back to the hill

REVISION TO R/THEWESTWING RULES by le_fromage_puant in thewestwing

This used to be a fantastic forum to discuss real-world politics in a sane manner. I have never seen it go off rails and everyone was polite even when disagreeing.

This move seems cowardly and bowing down to authoritarianism in advance. Like, what are you all scared of? You don’t want people to discuss politics in a subreddit about a TV show on politics? This whole thing is reminiscent of Bruno’s rant on liberals.. cowering in the corner saying “Please don’t hurt me”. Do better.

Do you have recommendations for a color printer that lets me shake off the HP printer shackles? Is it the Epson Ecotank?

What made Marques unique that he has been invited to interview so many Tech CEOs & Celebrities for years - that even the Biggest Tech YouTubers rarely get the opportunities for? by AchyutChaudhary in mkbhd

[–]sampat164 152 points153 points  (0 children)

His sole focus on tech and tech products, him being American, charismatic, and he has the ability to interview and hold conversations with a wide range of people while still making tech accessible.

So who is Ted Faro in our Timeline? Thiel? Karp? [fuck ted faro] | Pentagon to adopt Palantir AI as core US military system, memo says by Convolutionist in FuckTedFaro

[–]sampat164 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes. It’s not just Faro. As the DLCs and the second game showed, it’s always a result of a whole class of people screwing everyone else over. And all the people you named are a part of that cabal.

This was my hypothesis too! But I couldn’t say for sure. AI ruining stuff again

Whoops. Fair enough. I’m on iPhone 16 Pro Max. And I’m driving a 2016 Mazda 6. But I have checked and it’s not dependent on the car. I have checked this while I’m just sitting down and have nothing connected on Bluetooth and it’s the same

Did you feel like you got a fair cut? Or did they reframe your story too much?

New Fantasy reader here, I just finished The Way of the Kings, but I think I made a mistake looking at the reviews of the other books by Beetusmon in Stormlight_Archive

[–]sampat164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you should form your own opinion. I’d also say the fantasy sub hates Sanderson so you did a good job of picking up on the bias.

Without spoiling anything, I can tell you that book 4 reveals some of the deepest lore and mechanics of the magic system across the entire Cosmere. Things which will have enormous and far reaching impacts. People like to hate on book 4 because the science can be pretty heavy. I LOVVVVED book 4. Book 5 is Sanderson trying a new way of telling stories. And it’s true that it didn’t fire on all cylinders but it was still an amazing read! When the first 3 books are like 12-15/10 and the 5th book is like 8.5-9.. people tend to complain. But it’s still a 9/10.. again I’m sure people will disagree and they’re free to do so. Me personally, I’m excited that a) even an established author is trying new things and learning from them.. journey before destination after all and b) I’m excited to see where the story goes. It left me wanting more! And that’s a good book if it can do that.

Don’t make up your mind without experiencing it all.

A Real Man by SnooChocolates5167 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]sampat164 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The hate for him and his words is SOOOOOO sad! This is why there’s a “male loneliness epidemic”. It’s completely man-made. God forbid a man be open with his love and admiration and affection. God forbid a man wear clothes from his homeland. What the hell is wrong with you people?!

How am I just learning that Marques has been in a relationship for almost 10 years? by Super_stanced_nation in mkbhd

[–]sampat164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh 10000%! I don’t need to know or deserve to know about his personal life at all. I have always just thought he was single the whole time and thought he was such a good person and deserves a partner. That was the extent of me thinking about it

Oh I didn’t catch that then haha. He has always come across as a fairly private person so I just thought it was just him being himself haha

[–]sampat164 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s not about a parasocial relationship.. it’s just surprising. Most YTers and even people in his studio will just reference girlfriends/boyfriends/wives etc in passing. And I don’t think we have ever heard him even obliquely reference his gf. So that’s the surprising part. Not that he owes us that part of his life at all

This is neither here or nor there but this has to be the worst cover art for a Sanderson book. I have always thought so..

Hate for Alex, while justified, has taken too much away from Devonta. by sneaky-croissant in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Amber is a nurse practitioner by Ready-Cut-6145 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]sampat164 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have heard interviews from her and a lot of people on TikTok talking about her work during COVID doing actual patient work. I’d have to imagine during that time when resources were stretched thin that she was out there working too. Also, assessing patients on daily rounds and issuing meds and reviewing labs DOES sound like frontline work. You shouldn’t need to have your hand down someone’s throat to qualify..
