At least you’re safe. It could have been a real pain in the neck.

When you leave a zit go too long without popping it, it’ll eventually pop itself.
- Comment on how do you only sleep 3 hours a day? (inspiration) 1 week ago:
When I used to work on the road, I’d sleep for maybe 3 or 4 hours a day during the week, but that kind of thing catches up to you fast. I usually made up for it on the weekends, but it was not a healthy way to go.
- Comment on Why is AI so bad at coming up with dialogue? 1 week ago:
You’re trying to apply logic to a system that has no logic, only data, to go off of. Of course it’s going to be shitty at it.

Mr tough guy should go to a pub in northern Ireland and try that crap instead of harassing some poor woman just trying to do her job.

Still is up here in winter when it’s -30 outside.

I’ve always used them so you can leave the car running or in accessory mode and still unlock the doors/trunk/glovebox.

Shit so hard all the water vaporized.
- Comment on When you realize it's time to trade in your old sedan for an SUV 3 months ago:
I find Sawzalls are better than a circular saw because they have variable speed and don’t tend to yeet things near as much. I tried a skillsaw once and it wasn’t pretty and didn’t have that great of a smell. (Given, it wasn’t exactly the sharpest blade)
- Comment on When you realize it's time to trade in your old sedan for an SUV 3 months ago:
Every diy person should have a sawzall or know someone who does. (protip: skill saws are messy and you probably have enough to clean as is.)

Alcohol companies used to (still do?) be part of the lobbying effort to keep weed illegal. They’ve known for a long time.

This is No Effort November sp it’s safe to assume he’s not putting a ton of work into this one.

- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 5 months ago:
Sorry If I didn’t explain that right… the guy was drinking non-stop every single day, to the point you could physically see his liver was shutting down because of his yellowish color. So the bar didn’t have much choice and had to cut him off. He was an awesome old guy so no-one wanted to boot him, but if he drinks himself to death the bar would be potentially liable for still serving him.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 5 months ago:
Yes, my dad was one of them. I haven’t gone to a bar for years but it used to be most smaller bars had at least a few regulars that basically lived there. I remember one old vet that used to show up every day as soon as the bar would open for his daily fix… It got to the point the bar refused to serve him, so he would try and get unsuspecting customers to buy them for him. (This was in the 70’s and 80’s, there were (or at least seemed to be) a lot more alcoholics back then.

Accidentally spill water in your bed and the next thing you know you’re getting adult diaper ads on every device you own for the rest of your life.

- Comment on Can you think of any now? 5 months ago:
Ah sorry, I totally misread that lol!
I think a lot of those are highly dependent on where a person went to school and who their teacher was, because some of them are pretty far out there.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 5 months ago:
Where did you go to school? I’ve never heard of either of those before.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 6 months ago:
Ya I get what you mean, it doesn’t always work out for everyone without getting the word out traditionally, but it does happen.
Personally I think advertising only goes so far before a company just starts looking desperate by saturating the landscape with ads.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 6 months ago:
While some now invest in some level of traditional advertising, it’s not what made them big. As you said with Tesla, they only started advertising when people started realizing they were crap, and even then compared to other vehicle manufacturers they spend little. Go Pro uses influencers and content marketing by their customers, the Dollar Shave Club made it to fame through viral videos.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 6 months ago:
I don’t know about that. Tiktok, Lamborghini, Tesla, Krispy Kreme, The Dollar Shave Club, Tupperware, Rolls Royce, Costco, Trader Joe’s, Go Pro etc all do little to no traditional advertising and do just fine.
Not that there’s anything wrong with some advertising to get the word out, but when you’re getting spammed with ads from every angle, that company starts feeling a little scummy to me.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 6 months ago:
The way I’ve always looked at it, a good product/service can typically stand on it’s reputation. If a company needs to spend millions on advertising to move their stuff, they’re probably not all that good or are overpriced. Someone is paying for all that advertising and it always ends up being the consumer.

Saw the video and ya… he won’t be walking that one off. Medical science has come a long way but that’s testing the limits.
- Comment on Imgur's Community Is In Full Revolt Against Its Owner 6 months ago:
I edited my other comment to include a site more like imgur, cdn.imgpile.com
- Comment on Imgur's Community Is In Full Revolt Against Its Owner 6 months ago:
It’s more similar to old reddit than how imgur is set up, but it’s more community driven, and everyone is very friendly and quite helpful in my experience so far. I can’t say much beyond that as I’m still learning more about it myself.
