This seems like sarcasm, which is valid, but what you said is also absolutely true. The primary virtue of the left is also its biggest weakness when it comes to implementation.

I try to make a habit of double checking, since most of my typos are Swype autocorrect to a different real word.

Preach. The other night I caught myself feeling envious of my wife’s dainty little fingers while she was typing away in bed. With normal screens, every time I need to type something that’s not in the swype dictionary I have to use my pinky like a stylus.
If you look at my history and notice that so many of my comments are edited right after being submitted, 9/10 times it’s because I had to fix a typo.

It kinda is. Obviously it doesn’t start that way, rejection is naturally unpleasant for everyone, but culturally, men are expected to initiate courtship. Unless you’re an absolutely gorgeous man, your romantic experience will almost certainly involve at least a few rejections.
The average adult man generally has enough experience with rejection to be somewhat desensitized, while the average adult woman has quite possibly never actually asked anyone out, much less been rejected.

Even the “slop” is quality content. Media colors our understanding of things, and for better or worse the general understanding of legal proceedings comes from things like movies and r/LegalAdvice disasters.
He provides informed and informative reviews of common level misconceptions through those videos, meeting people where they are to educate them about the facts. When a piece of media gets it right, and when it’s so off that you’d get tackled by the bailiff, are valuable insights to the layperson.

What part of the Hippocratic Oath does this refer to? If anything, the Oath specifies “us[ing] those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment”.

That’s what I’m saying. Some people want that, some people don’t. Some people wanna be passengers.
- Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better 5 days ago:
Some people would say the price of an occasional plane ticket is better than the hours of study necessary to get a license. “Better” really depends on your goal. Not everyone really wants to get a license.
That said, if you fly every day, it’s probably not a bad thing to look into.

The bigger “Umm, actually” is that during spawning season, their outsides are that color.

Real answer is probably that they’d be used in addition to trees, designed to fit in places unsuitable for a tree.

Agreed. And phone calls have some horrible compression artifact that makes them unpleasant to hear.

there are some bad apples
What do bad apples do, Mom? What is the consequence of a few “bad apples” that needed to be immortalized in idiom? Because I’m pretty sure the saying isn’t “A few bad apples don’t negatively affect the bunch in any significant way”.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 weeks ago:
The first and easiest thing would be to invent calculus. I’m sure other things would pop up situationally, I could probably get basic electricity going with a bit of experimentation.

- Comment on Covid․gov now points to a ‘lab leak’ conspiracy website 3 weeks ago:
That article says that a House Republican-led subcommittee came to that conclusion based on shakey evidence at best, made several other unfounded claims unrelated to the origin, and was criticized heavily by House Democrats. Their main piece of evidence was the Wuhan lab experimenting with distantly related COVID variants.
I would not call that “confirmed”.

- Comment on U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist 4 weeks ago:
That’s what I’m saying though. It’s easy to say “Hey, this is a problem that needs to be addressed”. It’s a lot harder to address that problem. People aren’t laying on the brakes because brakes don’t just materialize from the aether by magic right when they’re needed most. You have to harvest the raw rubber, vulcanize it, shape it into a pad, affix that pad to a caliper, wrap that assembly around a rotor, connect that assembly to some kind of actuator, connect that actuator to some kind of control mechanism, connect that mechanism to the brake pedal. These things take time, effort, and organization. Denigrating the collision sensor isn’t helping.

Not seeing a whole lot of leftist surgeons around here either, so.
- Comment on U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist 4 weeks ago:
Okay? What are the watchlist people going to do about that? They’re the diagnostician, not the surgeon. There are multiple different organizations in the world which do different things, or doesn’t make sense to blame an organization for not doing the things outside the scope of their power. They’re there to warn people and they’re warning people. Where’s your task force? No one’s going to swoop in to save us, this is on us.
- Comment on U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist 4 weeks ago:
It’s a watchlist, not a task force. The scope is to inform international travelers of dangerous destinations, not make those destinations less dangerous.
- Comment on Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is? 4 weeks ago:
I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I’d paid attention beyond “Oh, a notification”

It is without a doubt the most recent rap lyrics I’ve ever encountered.
- Comment on returning to SLA-resin printing: Which printer, curing station & resin? 4 weeks ago:
I use the Elegoo Saturn printer and Mercury curing station. No problems so far. I use an old plastic container for my initial wash, and reserve the included container purely for the final wash. I’ve had no issues so far. They’re fairly cheap, especially if you buy second-hand; mine came from the official Elegoo eBay page for refurbished products. I got both for about $300.
For resin, I basically exclusively use the Saturn for tabletop minis, so I use Sunlu ABS-Like because it has enough flexibility that arms and stuff flex a bit instead of breaking. If you want something more rigid I can’t really suggest anything.

I promote right-wing policies: you should always use the right wings for your airplane, using whatever wings you happen to have left in stock is a recipe for disaster. Left-wing policies are dangerous.
- Comment on Peak Trump Performance 5 weeks ago:
My grandad, a Trump voter, has several times in the past talked about how golf is like life: it doesn’t matter if the sun was in your eyes, or a dog barked in the middle of your swing, or a sudden breeze pushed your drive off target, all that matters at the end of the day is the number you put in that little box, no excuses. The irony is lost on him.
