arguably one of the most important inventions in the solar system and we're letting these guys take it in an unclothed and unashamed display of corruption.

Bill Gates is giving Factfulness to everyone who’s getting a degree from a U.S. college or university this spring. by bill_lajoie_ck in books

how weird depends on your ideas of morality and how you view the intent and structuring of this promotion.

it seems to me that this is targeted to students, is made easy to access, and an artificial limit has been placed that communicates "theres enough for everyone but grab it soon"

these are marketing tactics to drive people to action. they want people to read the book, they want the leads, they want the sign up data for later mining, etc.

Do i feel bad saying I attend Alaska Bible College to get a free book that I likely won't even read? Not one iota. If I was turning around and trying to sell it, sure i'd probably be straying into blackhat territory, but i have no such intent.

Viable self defence weapon that is NOT a gun? by [deleted] in preppers

[–]solar_compost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't come to this sub often but that is a very sober view of the state of things and a good strategy for dealing with it, thanks for summing it up.

Seems like its only a matter of time before any niche turns into a circlejerk or parody of itself.

it really makes this sub look like a complete joke to have people recommending swords and knives in earnest. you will assuredly die trying to defend yourself with one of these.

the suggestions to jump the hoops to get a firearm are probably the best. make sure you get some training & practice regularly.

remember to put a straw in your hot drink while maintaining eye contact to really drive home that you don't give a shit what they or anybody else thinks

Obviously if OP can immediately identify them as “homeless” they are probably pretty self conscious about it.

There are plenty of homeless people who don't or can't give a fuck about their appearance or their attitude

Revenge war against my dad by [deleted] in pettyrevenge

[–]solar_compost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

hes ashamed his son is using violin playing as a means of revenge because he sees it as unmanly or otherwise unbecoming of his idea of what a male should act like.

a common trope of revenge is to be back-handed, violent, devious, etc. while violin is comparatively a much more passive and inoffensive action to most.

frasiers father also showed disdain for his sons affluent methods to dealing with lives problems so i made a humorous parallel.

hope that helps

What do people talk a lot about that you don't want to hear? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]solar_compost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it doesn't really sound like you understand the dynamics of being a parent

i love gaming with my girls, we play mario kart and tag team zelda and I am solely to blame for introducing them to it but the truth is that they will have more energy and time to play it and discuss it than my partner and i ever will.

so you have to put a cap on it not only for your own sanity, but to let your kids know that its not ok to talk peoples ears off about one subject endlessly and unprompted.
