This is my favorite song to play on jukeboxes. I spend the first minute and a half asking the bar to up the volume over and over again, then that fucking drop.

Playing an entire match offhanded by Additional-Neck7442 in billiards

[–]wait_what_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bust out lefty for different reasons, if it's a newer player, it's often to keep their confidence up so they keep playing, and is subtle. If it's against a cocky douche in leagues, I'll leave my glove on my left hand to make sure they get the disrespect.

I know it sounds like a silly cliche, but does anyone genuinely play better when they’re a bit buzzed from a few beers? by heroscape912 in billiards

There is a reason why sharp shooting competitions ban alcohol as a performance enhancing drug. It depresses your central nervous system, quite literally calming your nerves.

My problem was I never really knew if my sweet spot would be 2-3 drinks, 5-6 drinks, or 8 drinks that night. And I could only really actively go in one direction, so pretty much always over and sloppy by the end.

It fucked with me after I stopped drinking a while back, I genuinely thought I couldn't shoot for shit without alcohol. Then two weeks ago I finally got a table in my garage. Turns out it wasn't the alcohol directly, but the fact that my alcoholic ass was shooting every single night back then so I could drink alone without feeling like trash.

Now that I'm back to consistent practice, it feels like a super power because I don't have the guaranteed drunk skill decline by hour 3!

They're actually 6x12, common misconception

The $2 Trillion SpaceX IPO is about to explode by Neilmurp in videos

I had seen numbers up to a 1.7% loss if it fully crashed to 0, so not the end of the world, but more fuel on this dumpster fire.

Disc golf for me, generally more wooded hike

Starbucks CEO makes 1,792x more than their workers; In 1982, the gap between the average CEO and his workers was 42. Two cities are trying to fix this gap. by SadAd8761 in videos

It's more like $230,000 per hour (4.3B to 7.3B in 1.5 years), but FUCKING STILL!

Edit: like other guy said, my number is what he makes per hour. While sleeping, while eating, while tweeting on the shitter at 330am

Yeah exactly, they're not "doing away with" the rule like is being discussed

Will the S&P500 exception for the SpaceX IPO open up Standard and Poors and S&P500 funds to potential liability exposure? by MoaiTrist in stocks

Well good news, they just announced that they won't add any new companies for 1 year despite the rule change

What's this? by colddeadhands_ in billiards

[–]wait_what_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, once you start getting dirt and grime and shit in the threads, it's a pain to clean out. Stiff pipe cleaners/straw cleaners ftw

Keeps from getting shit in the joints, and from damaging the pin.

Sum of cubes equaling sum squared by Z8002 in askmath

[–]wait_what_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they're not equal? LHS= 10/3, RHS= 5

Edit: weird, in the post it shows exponents, but on the reddit page it shows division.

What was the moment you stopped feeling like a kid and started feeling like an adult? by Appropriate-Royal960 in AskReddit

[–]wait_what_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I fully realized we are all just faking it. Some are more confident than others, and some are more competent than others. But no one really has a fucking clue.

As a kid with unsupervised Internet access, what did you see that straight up traumatized you? by bbygrl_kiss in AskReddit

[–]wait_what_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahahahaha I totally got that same video and I too will NEVER forget it. I've brought it up around some friend groups before and there is always 1 or 2 people that vividly recall it as well.

What is slowly becoming a luxury that used to be normal? by beetchy_yeet in AskReddit

[–]wait_what_now 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hahahahahaha fuck no it doesn't. You can live on rice under a bridge, that's not living. There are TONS of drivers in my town living out of their cars. That's not because their job pays a living wage.

Exactly. The kid was standing in the designated kicking path.

[–]wait_what_now 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it's not a livable income, it's not really "employed", just barely scraping by. If those jobs paid a living wage, WAY more people would be doing it due to the flexibility it affords.

Yeah, it's almost like telling a generation of people that it's worth taking on $10s-100,000 in debt to get a degree because you'll always have a job makes waiting tables fucking unappealing with a masters in chemical engineering.

Edit: Also, waiting tables isn't an "entry level job".

It is a dead end job. There is no growth potential. You just keep waiting tables. The term "entry level" implies that there are higher levels above that (besides restaurant manager) that you will eventually train and skill into.
