  Maybe you need to follow more communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You could try bring an overactive listener. Ask a lot of questions “What does that mean?” “Can you give examples?” if you time them right, it’ll completely mess up his for when he’s monologuing.

  Or, at the very least, you can have fun trying to see who can ask the stupidest question about Uncle Dave’s obsession.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Russian Roulette come to be? I find it hard to believe someone came up with it one day saying see how lucky I am today? I include suicidal people in this too.⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It probably started with less voluntary players. As in two people betting on whether their prisoner lives.

  Eventually some one decided it wasn’t hard enough and turned it on themselves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite Metroidvania?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Super Metroid. I really haven’t liked any others that I’ve played.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it were possible to travel back in time and manipulate events, we could take a book back in time and publish it before the author historicallt does... as a prank...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Plot twist: The first time machine HAS been invented, but the creator thought it was a failure because there’s was no previous machine to transmit to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like your profile is an identity of you?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not so much an identity, but more of a reflection of myself.

  It’s kind of like I’m standing around the corner where the rest of you can’t directly see me, and Social Media is a mirror that let’s you look around the corner and see a glimpse of me, and also let’s me see an image of all of you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s the one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That kind of sounds like it fucked you up. Glad to hear you’re doing better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That would make me feel better!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just saw a video the other day about some guy who got seriously addicted to that stuff.

  He started out as an occasional user and even set a “never two days in a row” rule for himself, until he broke it. It fucked him up bad. Do be careful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say it’s unnormal.

  It’s a bit more severe, but I don’t know anybody that doesn’t feel uncomfortable when people are arguing near them. Some definitely mind more than others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if tRump is Secretly bisexual but forced to be deeply ashamed of it like the rest of his generation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What a bizarre response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if tRump is Secretly bisexual but forced to be deeply ashamed of it like the rest of his generation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and no.

  Obviously, someone with no Jewish lineage could convert and they won’t start developing the generic traits of a Jew, but from what I understand, even they themselves consider themselves a different lineage than gentiles.

  Not unlike how people say they are Italian or Irish, even if they’ve never been to Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have a twin, so I’ll never have perfect eggs. 😞

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how we do it. Works great!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We* emphasize exclusive access to objects more than we ever did.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  More than ever? Probably not.

  Theft has pretty much always been a crime. Picking an apple from the King’s orchard could get you killed in some places.

  I’d say it’s probably about the same, aside from a few specific cultures that weren’t built on the concept of property.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if tRump is Secretly bisexual but forced to be deeply ashamed of it like the rest of his generation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even then, I wouldn’t have any sympathy for him. Like you said, he COULD have been an ally, he COULD have done something to make future generations not feel the shame he felt, but he didn’t. He clung to fame and fortune and inflicted even more suffering on many types of people.

  If anything, it would make me respect and sympathize even less than I already do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if tRump is Secretly bisexual but forced to be deeply ashamed of it like the rest of his generation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see why. Being bisexual has nothing to do with being a selfish narcissistic child rapist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the Hijack Horseman universe, gender reveals have probably been replaced by Species Reveal.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At least gumball and his sister look like their parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you respond to unwanted advice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think everybody has pretty much nailed how to verbally respond, but I think it’s important to mention how to internally respond to it.

  Any advice given should be honestly considered. It’s human nature to think our own idea is better than anyone else’s.

  Sometimes the situation is unique and other people don’t know all the finer details like you do, and what worked for them just doesn’t apply to you.

  Other times, they may know more you think they do. Don’t take it as gospel, but consider any warnings or possible solutions that didn’t cross your mind before.

  More information and diverse perspectives create better solutions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents were smart enough to find an AC adapter and a car charger for it. There’s no way they’d buy that many batteries for us to keep it alive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US we have Breast Cancer Awarnes month and a bunch of others. All we do is throw money at a problem and hope it goes away How come the Gov don't take care of people from starving?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like a fool for getting pumped about Fetterman. He really sounded like a stand up guy before he ran for senator. But, considering the alternative was Dr. Oz, I don’t think I would have changed my vote even if I knew what I know now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You get to drink from the fire hose!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. Six AAs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't care about the Epstein files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m also prepared to accept that, but something’s bound to turn it around eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't care about the Epstein files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I do care.

  We don’t know how many children were raped on that island. Dozens? Hundreds? More?

  It’s not about “getting Trump” or political theatre, it’s about justice for the victims.

  If nobody investigates the Epstein files, every single one of those child rapists WILL continue to rape children. Epstein is dead, but another will fill the void and become the next Epstein (if they haven’t already).

  I don’t think raping children is a joke.

  I don’t think raping children is funny.

  Some crimes go neglected and unsolved, and there isn’t much most of us can do to correct that, but in this case we KNOW what the crimes are, we have evidence that could incriminate rapists, and if we don’t demand an investigation into this we are collectively telling those children “We know you were raped, and we don’t care.”

  Maybe I can convince you to care as well, maybe not, but either way, I refuse to be that person.

  Best case scenario, we lock up everyone who committed those atrocities, but even if the rich and powerful find a way to prevent that, we are at least sending a message that crimes like this will NOT be ignored and that next time they may not be as lucky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Croutons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Make your own and just lightly drizzle them with olive oil, and some garlic salt and lightly toast them so they’re still soft inside.

  So much better then those bread based bricks in a bag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit sucks right now, more conversations about what’s fun can only help!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to practically surveil everyone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would work until it didn’t.

  Just depends how long it takes them to realize it’s happening.

  escapism in the form of weed & late night gaming after the family has gone to sleep.

  I second this! Whatchu been playing?
