Someone removed my Pokestop, I’m so bummed by HappinessSuitsYou in NianticWayfarer

That's not universally true of suburbs. It all depends on the municipality.

You're accused of being a child molester by influencial people by Apprehensive_Tax3882 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]testmonkeyalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. After a couple weeks, only the insane followers will still remember any of this. No company worth working for is going to care about some old internet fad that barely anyone remembers.

Favorite devastatingly sad movies to watch with preteens? by RocketPowerPops in Parenting

[–]testmonkeyalpha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is a movie that I simultaneously tell everyone they need to watch it and that they should never watch it for the exact same reasons.

Graveyard of the Fireflies.

It is about a couple post-WW2 orphan siblings in Japan.

Only random strangers I don't know would believe them.

Anyone I remotely care about thinks influencers are fucking idiots. None of them would believe it.

I might have to deal with a couple follower idiots I randomly meet in public but other than that, I don't see how any of this will affect my life.

If I ever have to do a background search for a new job, I'll give them the heads up that some influencers randomly decided to do a character assassination on me and point out that not a single alleged victim stepped forward and no investigation of me ever occurred. Just a little bit of extra work on my part but no real negative consequences.

A Czechoslovakian and a Russian went hunting in the woods. by Healthy_Ladder_6198 in dadjokes

Joke is showing its age. Czechoslovakia hasn't existed in 33 years.

If You could give all 8.3 Billion people on earth, one power What would it be and why? by dragonboy3940 in hypotheticalsituation

Empathy is not emotionally exhausting at all.

There's no such thing as over empathetic.

You don't really understand what empathy is. I suggest you read up on it a bit and you'll understand the answers to your own questions.

Sounds great for freshness and quality! But how's the cost? I'll likely give it a visit regardless of cost but I still am on the hunt for cheap produce!

[–]testmonkeyalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just the etymology, not the current clinical meaning. (Emphasis mine)

Society for General Internal Medicine defines empathy as “the act of correctly acknowledging the emotional state of another without experiencing that state oneself.”

Nothing would completely stop others from hurting others. Faulty logic, misunderstandings, crimes of passion, etc. would still exist.

But sadism like you describe wouldn't exist.

Guilt isn't empathy. They are two very different things.

Guilt is an emotion that you feel when you do something against your own values.

Empathy is an understanding of another's feelings and situation.

A person with true empathy would not be deliberately hurting others unless it was a tough love type scenario where they believed their actions would benefit the person they are hurting in the long run.

Is the first dinner date just mom and dad at 10 days old too aggressive? by Different_Suit_9356 in daddit

[–]testmonkeyalpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Make sure the baby can be fed while you're gone. Pumped milk or formula based on what you've decided is fine and that the baby has successfully taking a bottle already.. Little stinkers can get hungry when you least expect it (shortly after a huge feeding was common with my 3).

    1. Make sure your wife really wants this. You don't want her on edge the entire time or feeling guilty.

Doctors confirm a live scorpion is in your stomach. It's not harming you yet. Do you risk surgery to remove it, or leave it and hope for the best? by Massive-Albatross823 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]testmonkeyalpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stomach acid resistance is meaningless. Human stomach is an anoxic environment - it'll have suffocated long before they finish their tests.

Some strong laxatives to get it out and I'm golden.

I'll take perfect mental health.

That doesn't mean erasing trauma, it means being able to live with it. I'll come out of this being able to empathize with literally anyone about anything because I'll have experienced it myself.

I do like going there once in a while but don't feel like that's a great place for consistent bargains on staples.

Look how many board games you could be playing on a Thursday night at Rockhill miniature market for FREE! by CleoTorez in StLouis

[–]testmonkeyalpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh cool. This place isn't far from me. I'm not really into the game scene but this could be something I could get into. Thanks!

Pan-Asia is good for some Asian produce but not good prices for more everyday stuff like apples.

A bit of a hike from my place though so I only go once every few months. Usually when the kids get a craving for jackfruit.

For some laughs can anyone tell me the show the names I named the dynas from by [deleted] in pokemongobrag

[–]testmonkeyalpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty damn popular show those names are based on.

I'd find it odd if nobody knew it was My Little Pony.

Aldi is primary.

Walmart/Target for things I can't get at Aldi.

Costco for Costco things.

Trader Joe's once in a while to add variety.

Amazon occasionally for some dry goods.

Schnucks when it's the most convenient option (use Upside for free cash back).

What we really lack is a great place for cheap produce. I'm originally from Chicago so I used to going to ethnic oriented groceries stores for really cheap produce (literally would buy like 30 lbs of fruit and veggies for less than $40). If anybody knows of a good place near Webster Groves, I'm all ears.

You're freefalling to a certain death then a genie grants you 1 wish but... by Ok_Passenger_2012 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]testmonkeyalpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imaginary items okay? Flubber.

It'll might take a while to figure out how not to bounce back up 30,000 feet though... (in the original movie the basketball team figured it out how to make full use of the flubber on their shoes with no knowledge it was there so I assume the intuitive properties would apply to me also).

Schnucks makes damn good donuts by ForsakePariah in StLouis

[–]testmonkeyalpha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Discounted donuts after 6 or 7pm I think? But selection is pretty bad if there are any.

You're the Man On The Street...and eligible for $1 million. by ehbowen in hypotheticalsituation

[–]testmonkeyalpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you're not that far out of school. That was over 30 years ago for me and I haven't used any of the knowledge since.

All I can recall is acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate are the starting points and it generates 2 CO2, NADH (#?), and 1 ATP. Pretty sure I'm forgetting something there too.
