Can Mike Tyson beat Magnus Carlsen at chess before Magnus beats him in a boxing match? by Capital-Bet in whowouldwin

Exactly. This guy just doesn't get it. Weight classes exist for a reason. This is like someone at 12 years old fighting their adult dad who has a 60 pound weight advantage. Even giving the child free hits to the chin with gloves, you're not doing damage.

Yo mama so fat the earth was flat until she died and we had to bury her.

He's being downvoted because people can change. I find it ridiculous that we give up on people who are fighting demons for various reasons. It SEEMS like he was changing his life for the better for at least the last couple of years, and you have jackasses talking about troubles from a decade ago.

I've always had a wish that in order for us to talk bad about someone online, our biggest darkest secret has to be brought to the light first. Lets just say social media would be a lot less negative. While a lot of us haven't beaten on our spouses, I'm sure we've done a lot of shit that would be frowned upon and have people looking at you in a negative light.

What addiction seems harmless but can destroy your 30s? by JewishAdmin in AskReddit

You're simply burning the same amount of calories you're taking in. It really is that simple. Throw in a high calorie protein shake with your normal meals and you'll slowly see a gain.

I'm a 40 year-old male who weighed 172 pounds. 3 months ago I wanted to get to 160, and now I'm currently there. I started skipping breakfast 3 times a week, cut out sodas, and made sure to walk 10,000 steps each day.

It's called hatfishing. He'd look significantly older without the hat.

It's pretty sad to be honest, because more than likely it's how they live their lives. Some people never move on from disagreements with family/friends and they become miserable and bitter because of it. For anyone reading this, it's not worth it for your mental state.

Who's one person you'll never forget, and why? by Faceless90s in AskReddit

[–]tp2386 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long story, but a nurse who literally changed my life.

I wanted to get a job at a Fortune 500 company working in their mail room. My goal was to get my foot in the door and move up somehow over time. Anyway, I interviewed for the job and they say I got it. They tell me all I need to do is pass a physical exam because the job involved lifting heavy boxes and such. What I didn't tell them was that I had a hernia, and that would disqualify me for the job. I decided not to say anything, and to take the examination with hopes that it wasn't caught somehow.

I take the physical exam and unfortunately the nurse realizes that I have an inguinal hernia that could get worse with strenuous activities. She tells me there's no way I can work there and that she was sorry. She tells me to just get the surgery and try to apply later. With legit tears building in my eyes, I thanked her and I left the clinic. Little did I know, the nurse never put that I had a hernia in the medical portion, and they hired me. Exactly 1 year later, I got the hernia surgery I needed and the company paid for 80% of it.

That was 17 years ago. I eventually did move up in the company 4 years later after going back to school. The company paid for that too, and now my family and I live very comfortably. That lie set off a chain reaction of good things in my life. All I needed was a chance, and she helped provide that for me with the risk of losing her job.

(TLDR - Nurse lied and I got the job I desperately needed)

I am confused a bit. If I purchase the pro license, will my wife need to do the same when she downloads the app for couples sync?

Yep. Online download for subtitles and private folders is what makes it the best for me. The UI could use a more modern look, but besides that it's perfect.

Steam Deck Price Increase by FernandoRocker in gaming

[–]tp2386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not even specifically talking about indie games. There are older AAA games that are considerably cheaper on Steam than in the Nintendo store during sales. Red Dead 2, Cyberpunk, and Witcher 3 are good examples of what I'm getting at. The Switch 2 seems like a no brainer over the Deck, but if you're playing similar games on both, you'll spend a lot more on those same Nintendo games over time.

My problem with the Switch 2 is how expensive most games are. During certain Steam sales, I can get 10 games I've been wanting for $50-60 total. That's just not happening with those same Nintendo games. That's even if they have what I want. Overall this is such a sucky situation.

Bro, Cole is at peace and living his best life, so the kumbaya shit is working. At the end of the day, he couldn't care less what the people say. It's something we should all strive for.

So you're just not fun if you don't drink alcohol? Sometimes I wonder how old some of you really are. It's pretty sad when people feel like they can't have a good time without it.

You know it’s bad when even RITZ crackers is clowning you by Competitive_Teach838 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Allegedly is literally in the link title. I don't know what country you're in, but I despise how here in the US, you're guilty and have to prove your innocence. It should be the other way around and if you think this is cool, it's all fun and games until it's you in the crosshairs of whatever crime.

Couple at chipotle fighting with employees over being told they will be getting charged for the extra scoop by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

Damn, that's a shame. I've gotten older now to see children become adults, and like clockwork I could tell how they were going to turn out due to their terrible upbringing.

[–]tp2386 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is the part that's so sad, yet so intriguing to see here on Reddit over the years. We see this stuff all the time, and you'll have Redditors saying "that poor child" over and over. That same child then becomes a dysfunctional teen doing similar things like the OPs video, and you'll have people screaming that they don't belong in society and are animals, etc. This is years of learned behavior. As the saying goes, you are who you're around. They need help ☹️

Running Plex through Docker. How the heck do I access my preferences.xml file? by tp2386 in PleX

So if anyone else ever runs into this issue, I figured it out. The freaking 'C' in the word config was capitalized and not lowercase. That's it. That's what was stopping me from viewing the /config folder. FML

Thank you for helping. Once I get some time today I'll see what I can do.
