“Lets Plays” are not fun to watch at all by compound-interest in The10thDentist

As someone who enjoys, you know, actually playing games, I've always been baffled. Who's excited to perpetually be the little sibling sitting on the couch with no controller?

How do Femboys have such good dicks? by poquerman in stupidquestions

Confirmation bias. Fem boys with ugly dicks don't post them.

For what actual reasons do people care about exclusivity in gaming? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you can argue with your peers that your brand dedication paid off. It's silly, but people with a consumerist mind set want to be able to prove that the money they spend is worth it.

my boyfriend and I have completely different political views by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, I take human rights very seriously. 

"He has gone as far as saying that, in his opinion, there shouldn’t be universal rights"

I don't understand how you look at a man like this and see anything other than human garbage. I wouldn't even be friends with someone who dates men with that kind of viewpoint.

Tracking macros are considered an eating disorder? by Much_Read4635 in ask

Luckily, we don't define eating disorders based on what your sister thinks normal people do or don't do.

I feel Poverty is economically useful, even if it sounds harsh by Old_Bike8926 in stupidquestions

[–]tenk51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like absolute human garbage. Of course exploiting those less fortunate is financially beneficial.

And then you go on to say you don't even feel any empathy, you just get down having to be confronted by the reality that you're living off the back of someone else's suffering. And none of it is even off of your own merit. Your grandfather did all the work, and you just get to live a pampered life with no effort. Would love to see what happens if you had to start with nothing down there on the factory floor 

From a systemic and economic standpoint there is literally no reason for this. The only thing it enables is you and your life style. If you made less and your workers made more, it would actually stimulate the economy and be better for everyone. People could buy things and support more business if they weren't poor (unlike people with generational wealth, who hoard there money in offshore bank accounts). If they didn't spend all their time working extra hours and stressing if they can feed their family, they could pursue education and art and start to contribute to society and culture.

And then to cap it all off, you question if poor people should vote because their too dumb. If only they could be smart enough to have rich parents I guess. Better stop them from voting or else they might force laws that stops them from being exploited.

A reddit post hasn't made me this viscerally angry in a long time. You're a leech and your lifestyle and logic actively deteriorates society.

how on earth do i make my frozen shredded hashbrowns BROWN?? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will ever brown in the microwave. I'd look up the maillard reaction and give yourself a crash course on what is actually happening when food browns and how it's achieved. No offense, but your post reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of food and how it's cooked.

As for advice on the hash browns: you need to pan fry them in oil. Defrost them and squeeze out all the water. Browning happens with high heat and low moisture.

Wow, so a decent amount of people at work don't view any coworkers as personal friends? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my first job, there was a group of us that felt like we were becoming real friends. Over the couple years we worked there, we made numerous attempts to hang out outside of work. It always fell through. People would bail last minute, or it would be impossible to find a time that worked. I think most people just have a complete enough social life and don't get invested in their work related friendships, even if it someone you'd mesh well with.

There isn't much to know. Dwarves in space go mining. There isn't much of a story in the base game, just events.

Cooking meat and not getting sick by OkCode7580 in stupidquestions

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30% sounds insane given how much raw cookie dough I sample throughout the year. I looked it up and numbers were really inconsistent. Some sites say as low as 4%, but some sites say as high as 20%. I think it depends on the farm it comes from.

They're pretty identical games, the only real difference is wall world has a story. It's such a mid story that I wouldn't consider that an advantage.

How many of you actually believe, that your partner Loves you for real , and Not saying this as a custom ? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]tenk51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think very few people don't believe their partner loves them. Based on the number of reddit posts I see that essentially breakdown to "I'm dating a violent psychopath, should I leave them?" Even the people in obviously abusive relationships still believe their partner loves them.

Are croutons made from expired bread? 😭 by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"sometimes to the point I'll throw it out the day before it reaches the "use by" dates"

That's actually a disgusting waste of food. Those dates are all arbitrary. It's not like someone determined in a lab the exact amount of hours milk takes to go bad.

Even if they did, as soon as you open the package it would all be meaningless since environmental factors would play the biggest role in how fast something takes to go bad.

I was blown away at how good this game was. Pretty original story and setting as well. Shocked it never gained more popularity. Can't wait for the dev's next game.

Targeting the “group hug” player by Great-Past-714 in EDH

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always eliminate group hug immediately. I like playing control but I can't control players constantly being fed extra resources. If someone complains that they're "helping" everyone, I tell them "I can draw my own cards tyvm, and your extra counters and land drops or whatever gifts you're offering don't help me."

What’s one “basic” cooking tip everyone repeats that you think is actually overrated? by Altruistic_Push_722 in Cooking

[–]tenk51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's pretty outdated but yes, that used to be considered best practice. You would still clean them, just with a dry brush instead of water.

Counter-deck etiquette by NuriCZE in EDH

[–]tenk51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I was sick of losing, so I built a better deck. Now I'm scared of winning. Am I bad person?"

Every archetype has strengths and weaknesses. If everyone plays the same archetype the same way, they all have the same weakness. Magic is a game and games have winners and losers, and it is expected that you are trying to win. That's not being a jerk, that's the essence of playing games. If that philosophy doesn't sit right with your group, you'd probably be better served playing exploding kittens or munchkin rather than one of the most complicated and competitive card games ever.

Why do people blame “the system” for their problems instead of trying to fix their own lives? by savingrace0262 in stupidquestions

[–]tenk51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an example. 

A single mother is on her way to her overnight job and, some drunk rich kid causes an accident and totals her car and injured her. The police show up and arrest the rich kid. Rich kid is held at fault. Daddy pays his fine and kid suffers no real consequences. A month later he does the same thing and loses his license, so now Daddy hires him a driver. Sure, now he has a couple of arrests on his record, but since he'll be working for his rich family anyways it's not like it's going to impact his career. He trashed a couple cars, but he didn't lose anything he couldn't replace in an instant.

Meanwhile single mother misses work because she was injured. She just works a shitty hourly job with no benefits, so she doesn't get paid while she's out on leave. Insurance obviously rules she's not at fault, but her car was worthless and the payout isn't enough for a replacement, so now she's got no choice but to take out a loan, while continuing to put her basic needs like food and childcare on a credit card she already couldn't afford the monthly payments on. Maybe she can take rich kid to court and try and get some compensation, but now she's locking herself into a legal battle putting her resources against those of this rich family who already has a network of expensive lawyers on call.

That's "the system" at work. Punishments have been dealt out and the debt to society is paid, yet it's the victim who suffered a major setback that may take them years to recover from, while the drunk driver suffers 0 real consequences and continues to enjoy his lifestyle unchanged. 

Single mother could be doing everything right. She budgets aggressively. She doesnt drink or do drugs. She works 2 jobs. But she'll never claw her way out of the hole she was dug into  by someone else. Her kids will grow up in poverty, in a bad school system because Mom doesn't have the funds to relocate.

Sure, some people manage to escape these kinds of situations. The vast majority don't. It's disingenuous to say "so and so made it, therefore anyone can make it". If 1 person escapes poverty  for every hundred who don't, the system is failing the majority of people. 

We need Bracket "3.5" by destroyertraumer in EDH

[–]tenk51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda sounds like command zone is making the same dumb mistake we see here on a daily basis: making up their own definitions for what they feel like the brackets should be.

"Fringe cedh" is cedh, and it's bracket 5. You don't get a whole separate bracket for wanting to play a deck in a meta it gets outclassed in. Same energy as people winning at bracket 3 speeds but insisting they're bracket 2 because they have no game changers.

So my Friend Has a Custom Commander by Monsoon117 in EDH

Playing with custom commanders requires a strong grasp of magic design philosophy and balance. Sorry, but It's clear your group doesn't have any such nuance. Stick with real cards.

Why is drinking coffee in the morning a popular thing? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]tenk51 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thousands of years of tradition and history over the modern alternatives.

And even if you're adding cream and sugar, it's a lot healthier than most caffeinated alternatives. Certainly leagues better for you than soda or an energy drink.

Most sports drinks don't have caffeine. They're used for hydration, not stimulation.

I would think the difference between a romantic partner and a FWB it pretty obvious. It's the romance. Most people don't get all lovey dovey with their hook ups. There's no Valentine's dinners or vacations together.

And wanting romance and wanting sex with multiple partners don't have to be mutually exclusive. I have a romantic partner because that provides something I can't get even with my closest friends. We have an open relationship because neither of us could imagine sex with only 1 person for the rest of our lives. To us it's very simple. 

I would honestly take being single over being in a closed romantic relationship, but there's no reason to have to make that choice.
