It's interesting seeing this on here, I saw it on Instagram a few days ago and it was full of a bunch of misogynist mouthbreathers talking about how unimpressive it is. Saying things like "I'd like to see her try that in a contact league" or "of course you can get away with doing moves like that if you're playing against girls" and a lot of "yeah ,she wouldn't last a day playing against men. Her head is down the whole time, she doesn't have any situational awareness"

Being in Utah I've met a bunch. From the creepy old pedophile types to smart young Mormon dudes getting their masters (the church tells them all how to vote). It's all types unfortunately.

I literally had this argument with my boss a few months ago. And he has a masters in astronomy. Out of 5 people in the room, two agreed with him.

I had a person argue with me that where I lived was too dangerous to work or take your family because there are "roving gangs of black teens" that will kill you on the spot, for no reason. In downtown salt lake city, Utah. People have refused to come visit my house unless they're carrying, because they need a gun if they're going to "the West side"

I literally live next to an elementary school and everyone I've ever met in my neighborhood is super nice. They just happen to be brown.

Hopefully this doesn't double post, because I replied but it didn't take.

My computer at work has a better GPU than my one at home. So it forever renders people's blender projects on Sheepit (a free community render farm) which gives me points for rendering my own projects.

Google has just told me roughly 27grams per kilometer. So about 2.4 lbs for all 40 km.

I've had some pretty bad human therapists (betterhealth). I think a good human therapist is preferable to an ai therapist, but ai therapists would be much better and probably more ethical than the worst human therapists.

Fair, and yes. But the half used notebook didn't entice me enough. It was too used :p

As someone who works at a planetarium/science center, go there and befriend the staff. 90% of them will be somewhere on the trek spectrum (among others)

Report it to who though? Let's assume that one good cop exists and really believes in making the system better, and cares more for the community than himself or his career. If the rest of the system is broken and corrupt there's literally no way for him to fix it through pepper channels. At best he'll be kept in a shitty position where he can't enact any change, at worst he might be fired or killed by other corrupt cops. Definitely not defending cops as a whole, but I think there's more nuance.

As someone who works in a Planetarium that has an exhibit on exactly this, the answer is the sun.

The way I see it is the half assed scribbles are how you get the good art to appreciate. All the people doing cool art started out as some kid spraying complete garbage somewhere. There's a couple taggers in my city that I look out for their names and I've been seeing them get better for years now. It's kind of cool to see their skills grow in real time.

And then there's the other contingent of "normal" people that likes seeing the tags and treats it almost like birdwatching. My wife and I are always pointing out tags that we like or when new ones go up. To me a city without tags feels like a boring sterile suburb and it looks better with them.

This may be a surprise to you, most women that wear makeup aren't doing it because they're ugly and need to compete with "beautiful girls that don't need make down". And this imaginary beautiful woman that you're referencing would probably get asked if she's sick or tired if she wasn't wearing makeup, because people look at anything that is less than Kabuki stage makeup and thinks girls aren't wearing anything. Then say dumb shit like girls that are actually beautiful don't need/wear makeup.

Ooh, quality burn calling it make down. That's some high quality wordplay mr.toast. I hope for your sake and any women in your life you can eventually learn to not be a tool.

Yeah, basically every time I walk into the room I say either "hey! You're cute", "are you aware that you are a cat?", or "what's up you fuckin thumbless loser?"

@op I too live in an at will state and got fired for a dumb reason. It doesn't hurt to try anyways. When I applied for it they asked if I had been on any sort of warning or improvement plan. The company 1. Didn't give me a chance to improve and fix their perceived problem and 2. Didn't keep good records to show their defense. So it got ruled in my favor automatically. You may still have a decent case, and it only costs time to try.

It's definitely what they're used to, I have two shop cats turned house cats. They were fine around all sorts of heavy machinery, they'd stand on my workbench and watch me run the table saw or CNC. They knew which tools they could climb on and which ones they'd get in trouble for because they were dangerous. But now they've been in the house for a couple years and they're at chip bag status.

This is the only form of American exceptionalism that I accept as canon.

My main takeaway from this article was "you sued a school district because your son got detention, you are in both a different tax bracket and delusion level than a significant portion of the world"

Totally understand the feeling. Plenty of friends have referred to me as an ally, and I would definitely consider myself one, but saying it myself feels akin to "I can't be racist, I have a black friend". That and it feels congratulatory for what should just be the default. Brains are weird.

I have been trying to read this book for years "the ADHD effect on marriage", but keep adhd'ing it away and not finishing it. But my non ADHD wife read it and highly recommends it. Our relationship improved quite a bit after she read it and learned how to work with my brain better, which in turn helped me a lot with learning how to work with my own brain better.
