Christian teens promoting themselves as "rebels" because they chose to "believe" has to be the cringiest thing i ever saw. by General-Compote2138 in atheism

[–]FiggleDee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Their persecution complex is deep and severe. Everything they do is designed to isolate you and make you feel like they're your only family.

I was told not to say the pledge in class, and it singled me out as different. Sometimes that's all it takes to start a self-reinforcing path toward being bullied and feeling persecuted.

'How come you didn't wear one of those skirts from Instagram?' by snakebitesitstail in TwoXChromosomes

same. I generally don't advocate playing games, but getting an honest response to this particular issue is a matter of safety.

amen. make a point to find out earlier rather than later what someone is like when they don't get their way.

just look at that pepperoni! by maxlovesgames in FoodPorn

I thought cupped pepperoni was just a matter of what kind of sausage casing their supplier uses?

Fellas what do you think?? by sleepininja in terriblefacebookmemes

They're just mad because they go around posturing, revving their engines, and these electric cars are beating them off the line in utter silence.

Next time someone says "If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid" I'm gonna link them to your comment.

When it comes to depression, it's okay to do it half-assed or do half the job, too. Don't beat yourself up if you only do some of the dishes, or shower but don't wash your hair, or make a simple meal instead of some grand one, etc. Anything is better than nothing. You don't have to sprint, or run, or even jog. Walking first is fine. It will come to you in time.

Got a gap? Be a Director of Ad Sales by Fancy-Mention-9325 in WorkReform

[–]FiggleDee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been through this. They don't go out and get them, they ask you to give them a W-2 from each company you claim to have worked for. No proof, then probably no job.

Report: East Palestine soil has dioxin levels hundreds of times more than the threshold that causes cancer. by DoubleTFan in videos

[–]FiggleDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine it is, but what were the levels before the derailment? what are the levels in neighboring cities? I hate it when news stories give you a statistic without any frame of reference. Maybe everyone's soil is hundreds of times the cancer causing threshold?

Pixar level stuff by Perunamies in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]FiggleDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put both of these things down to BioShock's spiritual predecessor, System Shock 2 (and then, to some degree, System Shock 1.)

Because the designers wanted you to feel isolated (it was a first person horror game), but also I imagine due to technical limitations, SS2 told the story through tons of written logs, audio logs, and the occasional NPC over the radio or on the other side of a glass window.

This 10 Troy oz "gold" bar is filled with tungsten and covered in a thick layer of gold. Gold and tungsten have very similar densities, which means this bar weighs correctly and is the same size as a genuine gold bar. by Santa_Hates_You in interestingasfuck

I use it to fill out my gold bars.

I'm not sure I understand you. All of those things are tactile on a Tesla except HVAC.

Why do men behave like unattractive women offend them? by Modern_Snow_White in TwoXChromosomes

[–]FiggleDee 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Worse, sleeping with an unattractive woman harms your status among men who think this way. Spurning them, being cruel, doesn't just express that hate, it gains you status too.

They learned you were willing to go through six rounds, which is interesting, but that's probably about it.

This is Elon Musk's response to riots in France. by CrossingVoid in antiwork

Well, I'll bear that in mind.

And I mean things from the way he insults twitter programmers, to the big promises he makes about self driving, the way he tells other experts they're wrong, such as the rescue sub situation, or his opinions on LIDAR. He acts as if no one else had ever considered his viewpoint before. That sort of stuff.

[–]FiggleDee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would give him more credit if I believed him, but I don't. He has all the hallmarks of a narcissist, and I fully believe he lies about most of that, saying whatever he thinks makes him look good to his audience.

I have no way of knowing how much he does or doesn't contribute to any of these companies but I simply don't trust him to be telling the truth about any of that. The way he treats the opinions other engineers doesn't feel like someone who is, himself, an actual chief engineer (and not just in title.)

[–]FiggleDee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It makes more sense (to me) when you consider wealth is exponential. If someone started with nothing and applied that much effort, they might be a millionaire at best. What we're saying is that him being a billionaire doesn't make him smarter, more talented, or a harder worker than other people. But he sure seems to think it does.
