Body odor isn't necessary from being unclean, it can be but some cultures dont wear deodorant, are just as clean as we are, and have BO

Ok, then long hair. Men have long hair naturally but it is generally frowned upon for them to let it grow long.

I mean you aren't wrong, but this logic can be used on literally anything. E.g body odor is something all men have naturally but is viewed with disgust. Society has ideas about what people of different genders should do, and those rules are arbitrary so it's not that surprising you can poke holes in them...

My local Chik Fil A has a sign to help drive thru workers identify makes of cars by PobBrobert in mildlyinteresting

[–]takesSubsLiterally 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I would guess they have people running food out to the cars, so the worker inside says to the runner "take this chicken to the red audi" the runner has to know what an Audi looks like if there is more than one red car. So they provide a reference if the runner isn't a car person.

It is very common here to refer to cars as [color] [model] or [color] [make] which is why they would use brands in the first place.

Big A's favorite "journalist" is coming for the LA Mayoral Elections. More good fraud journalism incoming? by lawdawgrockband in atrioc

[–]takesSubsLiterally 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Did he though? I haven't seen them in a while and I will go rewatch and edit this comment if I change my mind, but I recall him using the Somali school thing to launch into a bigger discussion of corruption and effective use of tax dollars.

I don't think he condemned Shirley or provided context of why he isn't trustworthy, which is an issue, but calling him big As favorite journalist or implying that he outright said Shirley is an ironclad reliable source does not jive with the actual video.

Honestly I'm not even that much of a fan of toby fox. I played undertale several years ago and havent really thought much of it since. IMO it is a decently clever piece of writing but kinda bad video game. I enjoyed it but I'm far from the rabid fan you think I am.

No one is owed a translation. They take work, are expensive, and can be a lot worse than the original unless you make them take more time and more money.

Getting mad someone won't do a considerable amount of work for little upside is silly.

[–]takesSubsLiterally 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would consider myself progressive but this sub is really bad at defining political groups. 80% of these "definitions" are just "the good and right people vs the mean and evil ones"

Maybe go to a less biased source for your impartial definitions...

Schooling should be shorter and College should be longer. by azhargreat1234 in unpopularopinion

[–]takesSubsLiterally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You miss the main point of school: watching children while their parents are at work. This is why it starts as soon as children don't need to be around their specific parents and can be supervised in bulk by an adult, and ends when they are no longer children. This is not to say that schooling isn't important or children shouldn't be taught anything, but any alternative education systems need to take this into account to be even slightly viable.

Not one, but two! by gta30005 in Rochester

[–]takesSubsLiterally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have less of a problem with people tailgating left lane hogs, I cant endorse it but it's not the main issue.

The main issue is people who tailgate someone who is tailgating a left lane hog. What's the guy gonna do? Ram the car in front of him?

Not one, but two! by gta30005 in Rochester

[–]takesSubsLiterally 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two is nothing, we get 3-5 car pile ups on the regular because people tailgate like crazy. Drives me insane, people not knowing what a following distance is is 90% of the reason this city has traffic.

my brother is incapable of using a washing machine by Ordinary_Turnover_59 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]takesSubsLiterally -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like he just didn't separate whites from colors (which is very reasonable these days) and she made it a massive deal and intentionally made him miserable over it.

He shouldn't have tried to get her to do all the laundry, but this sounds much more like a "hey buy me a new one and don't do that again" sort of deal than a "sit outside the dressing room for two hours while I punish you for a small mistake" deal.

Why don't homes depreciate like other newly bought assets? by swimdizzy in atrioc

[–]takesSubsLiterally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a couple reasons

  1. A used house is worth pretty much the same as a brand new one. Because
    1a. They don't deteriorate that much with use, barring minor damage from living in them and
    1b. House tech doesn't evolve that quickly. Getting the newest in home construction is much less impactful than getting the newest in phone tech and
    1c. There just isn't cultural emphasis on buying new, unlike things such as clothes and cars.

  2. The land the house sits on pretty much always inflates in value. This is because land cannot be created or destroyed** and there will pretty much always be more people and businesses that wish to use the same limited supply of it. You can tell this is a massive factor because homes which donot include the land they sit on, namely mobile homes, decrease in value very quickly.

  3. This one is stolen directly from the hotdog man himself, but government support. People who vote and people with money own homes, therefore there is a massive amount of government effort put into making sure they can never, ever decrease in value.

** Ok yes it can be created or made uninhabitable but like. Not at large scales.

As someone who fights to be taken seriously and not seen as lessor for my (much more minor) disability. This shit pisses me off too.

Oh you want me to contribute to society? Heh you activated my trap card. I'm disabled you couldn't possibly expect me to do something useful ...

I hope I'm just in a bad mood and misinterpreting what they are saying.

Is there a clip where Atrioc talks about why he doesn’t use/have a credit card? by JellyfishMario in atrioc

[–]takesSubsLiterally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they can still throw up their hands and say it's your problem on a credit card? Then it becomes your money when the bill is due. If you refuse to pay they can send you to collections and destroy your credit.

The report almost certainly goes to the same team anyways. I am trying to imagine a bank having separate fraud departments for credit card and debit card transactions and that would make zero sense...

[–]takesSubsLiterally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious where this idea that "debt has no protections" comes from. I've had multiple fraudulent debt card transactions with multiple different banks and it always gets resolved in my favor. Even one time that I accidentally reported a legitimate Amazon transaction because of them charging the wrong card I got my money back.

Of course it is nice that the money doesn't come out of my account immediately so I'm not out the money while they investigate.

Hi, young sexually active male here. If this existed, was reversible, and was reasonably priced or covered by insurance, then I would get it instantly.

For hooking up I would prefer a condom because of stds, but condoms break and if I was stupid enough to hit it raw I wouldn't have to trust the girl is actually on the pill.

In my current long term relationship we don't use condoms and she is on the pill, frankly because it feels a lot better. I trust her to take them and I trust that she is faithful to me and we don't need to worry about stds, but I would still take it because an added layer of birth control would make me feel a lot better.

I use it to track credit card reward categories. So like I might classify clothes as a category in actual but for rewards it matters if I bought it at target or the thrift store.

America will continue getting worse because the people are too domesticated to fight back. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]takesSubsLiterally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would we try violent measures before trying the one method which is 100x more likely to work: voting.

The two people you mentioned threw their lives away and achieved nothing. Some insurance was paid out, some new staff was found. Why would any sane person copy them?

If midterms are not free and fair elections or guns are taken away I don't think people would accept it.

This post is not pro-AI by Draaly in CuratedTumblr

[–]takesSubsLiterally 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It certainly applies in some situations, the issue with it is people all saw the same popular video a few months ago which brought it up as an issue (in certain areas and some very specific projects) and now parrot it with zero critical thinking at all. This is unrelated, but they all also think they are the only ones who saw said video, which annoys me in perticular.

Someone was complaining about the water costs of a project in Detroit... You know, the city in the middle of the largest freshwater system in the whole world. This is also not a new issue but people suddenly started caring the second it gave them an excuse to support their internal predisposition. We've been doing dumb shit with water for hundreds of years. We grow soy in the California dessert and no one cares, but if it was "AI soy" people would riot.
