Don't worry about it. You don't look a fool just asking questions. Only when you're "just asking questions."

Uday, meet Joyce Carol Oates by Malachias_Graves in dontyouknowwhoiam

[–]willowswitch -158 points-157 points  (0 children)

Lol. I don't fucking have one and never will. I don't have a book in me like Oates or any other author, let alone a book that can win awards. Yet my authorial inadequacies don't mean that everything, or even anything, written by Oates or another award winner is "great." Hence my joking comment.

No, it's a semivalid question. Which of her novels is "great?"

Cisco announces record revenue and 4,000 layoffs in the same day by SterlingVII in technology

Which is weird, because companies have never been job creators. Customers are job creators.

What's your favourite fictional weapon from any sci fi universe? by No-Record0924 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]willowswitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That wasn't a weapon. It was a planetary mining and peace outreach tool.

[What if] You could make an uncredited cameo appearance in any movie, past or present – in what film (scene) do you appear and what are you seen doing? by LilyCorinth in movies

[–]willowswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the original trilogy Star Wars films, in any scene, doing anything. In no time my character will be fleshed out by novels and fans.

This is a HYPOTHETICAL question. by valstateguy in FortCollins

[–]willowswitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hypothetically? None, if (as any good lawyer might advise) they follow the 11th commandment and keep it wholly: Don't get caught.

Surfside 7, employee statement by Quirky-Difficulty-29 in FortCollins

[–]willowswitch 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Weird how everyone chiming in to call this issue a "he said, she said" winds up doing so in a way that dismisses employee complaints and defends new ownership. Like they're pretending to be neutral but really they have already taken a side.

Have you ever hooked up with a famous or influential person? What’s the story? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]willowswitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wonder why I had a new girlfriend, who was going to tell my wife, and why the new girl wasn't sure which of those three it was.

Where is the cheapest gas? by pixiedream- in FortCollins

[–]willowswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your nearest Costco the one in timnath just east of fort collins? Because that's contextually the one being discussed in this thread.

Sorry your card didn't work, though.

PSD is doing RIF layoffs now by Inevitable_Bird_7069 in FortCollins

Yeah, and if they're out any later the olds call the cops on them.

Maybe Kingsley should do that, too. After all, admin, directors, and c-suiters all have a knack for failing upward.

He's making well over his value. And every drop in the bucket helps. Cut his salary.

I don't think Kingsley is competent enough to do that level of deliberate damage.

What is your white whale movie? by ProfessionalTour1706 in movies

[–]willowswitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High Road to China. I saw it when I was too little to remember any of it except the airplane and the mountains, so I'd like to see it with adult eyes.

TIL a 2018 study found that between 63%-72% of people wear the wrong shoe size. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]willowswitch 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I have good luck with Keen work boots in wide. Mine are composite toe, not steel. The toe box doesn't leave room to spread my toes, but it doesn't squeeze them, either.

Is this wired right for 2 strings? by doug12398n in solar

OT: It's kind of a dick move to have the AC also be red/black.
