None of that sounds like video games and pizza. What kind of weirdo are you?

Etterra ,

Looks like those pots of gold are gonna be putting on some weight soon.

It's best to judge people by their actions more than their words, but on social media, you only see people's words.

I know this sounds pretentious (which is quite ironic), but this is something I’ve noticed about the internet. You never read about what someone does, only what they say. You hear politicians claim that they’ll fix the economy, or celebrities make speeches about what they feel like, or what “message” a fictional movie...

Etterra ,

Although I’m curious to know if it’s a full or multiple round action. With traditional D&D having 6 seconds to a round, it might be two rounds, maaaaaybe three.

Etterra ,

As far as I’m concerned that’s a feature. If we let the normies in then it just turns into Reddit all over again. That slop pile can stay over there.

Etterra ,

Well enjoying a game of footie is your first mistake. Oh wait, I got confused, too many euros around, sorry about that. Footie is what I call soccer, aka foreign football.

Enjoying a game of football is your first mistake.

Etterra ,

That’s overboard; You’re fine just multiplying your Celsius by 2.75.

Etterra ,

Celsius is for scientists and nerds, Fahrenheit is for normal idiots. It’s not rocket surgery.

Etterra ,

No, we should go back to the ancientBabylonian base-60 system. So a chilly 30°F day would be ⟨⟨⟨°B (B for Babylonian) and a scorching 100°F is ||-°B, or ↓↓→°B if you like. There’s not really a solid way to write cuneiform on a cell phone keyboard.

Etterra ,

Maybe there’s a way to dumb down the technology with 1950s bypasses. Just skip the computer entirely.

Etterra ,

Whatever you do, if you value your life, do not try to join this club. Gate crashers will neither be accepted nor tolerated.

Etterra ,

Yes you are a savage. Putting it back where you found it is not the correct way to do things. It might have been in the 1970s, I don’t know when cart corrals first showed up because people were too lazy to take it back to the front of the store.

Etterra ,

See this is an exception that proves the rule. The fact that there was no way for you to return the cart to a cart corral means that it was a noticeable and memorable event, a deviation from what should normally be the correct way of doing things. If you had been a person who’d never returned carts, this would have just been a day ending with the letter “y.”

Etterra ,

2nd one’s still in there, you can see them (barely) through the tinted window.

Etterra ,

There’s a store chain, Costco or Aldi’s maybe? In America here that dies this but it’s only a quarter. Which is next to nothing. For reference, a load of laundry is between $1-2 in just a normal machine, plus dry time, (so 4-8 quarters). So just to wash and dry a single load of laundry for me, for example, is 12 quarters, $1.50 each of l for washing and drying.

So that cart deposit thing could use some improvement. Regardless I’ve never shopped at that store, but I do just return my cart like a civilized person.

Etterra ,

Show us one example literally anywhere that actually did that. Philosophy is not an excuse for being a lazy jerk.

Etterra ,

Have you ever worked in a grocery store? Because that’s literally not how it works

Etterra ,

Work in a grocery store for a month and tell us again how we should all be jerks in a way that will never impact their corporate bottom line but will absolutely make the workers’ lives harder.

Etterra ,

Okay so here’s a tip that I didn’t need to be told because I figured out of my own. Ask her what she likes. If you don’t want to do that for whatever stupid reason, then casually point out a ring you saw and ask her what she thinks. There are subtle ways to handle it. “I saw a wedding ring that used a sapphire, what do you think of that” or “hey look at the ring in this picture I saw online,” then listen to her opinion. If you do that a few times she might start to actually realize that you’re going to ask her to marry you and give you useful feedback, assuming she doesn’t state something useful in the meantime, such as “diamond would be better” or “I like that design but not the gemstones.”

Of course if you haven’t talked about that kind of thing already, clearly you’re doing something wrong. My fiancee knew I was going to ask her to marry her, just not when or how. Well she figured out on the day that was coming because your girl is almost certainly better at picking up on subtlety than you are, especially when it comes to you.

Etterra ,

Over heard it says that the engagement itself should never be a surprise, just the when and where.

Oh and I’ll add in to listen to her if she says she wants/doesn’t want something specific. If she doesn’t want it to be a big public thing, then don’t propose on the stadium fan-cam. If she likes hiking, do it while hiking (but not somewhere the ring can fall in a river or off a cliff). Stuff like that.

Etterra ,

Oh no police are always an exception. After all if they don’t have the right to shoot people for whatever reason they want to make up, how are they ever supposed to be able to do their job of a opressing people?

Etterra , (edited )

That depends on the state. States with fire problems, such as California, have extra restrictions. And since it’s not a firearm, ironically, the Constitution can’t protect it.

Is it really just ageing/ getting older? How is this supposed to work? How is everyone else doing this?

Edit: thank you all very much for your time, thoughts and effort to reply to this. I really appreciate it and I try to find a new doctor. Your questions and encouragement were very helpful and made me realise that my symptoms are too strong, considering my lifestyle. For those who asked questions, here are the answers: I eat...

Etterra ,

Two answers. First, WTF are you doing asking in here, go see a doctor. Hell, see 3 of em.

But also, life is just a meaningless struggle against empathy anyway. You’re best off just accepting it and trying to have some fun before your inevitable natural death.

And don’t worry, existential crises get easier to live with after your first few. It might help to get a low-dose anxiety medication.

Etterra ,

Not in America it ain’t. Here it’s spelled “Disco is dead.”

Etterra ,

Well I mean once you’ve blown your load you need to be able to GTFO as fast as possible.

Etterra ,

Whatever, car nerd.

Etterra ,

On the plus side, if we evolved on Planet Sunblaster then our hearing would have evolved to either dial down the volume or filter it out completely.

Etterra ,

1 if they’re rabid, no more than 6 if they’re not.

Etterra ,

Fansong in my ass?

Yeah that one doesn’t work.

Etterra ,

Wow, that’s too bad. Anyway make sure you’ve got plenty of Rubles in your bathroom for when they make TP the national currency, bub.

Etterra ,

India only cares about India, so maybe they can seek them more LNG or oil. Maybe Rupies are the new Yuan lol

Etterra ,

Carl deserves the chance to ruin those annoying little shits lol

Etterra ,

I want my funeral to be a roast (comedic) but my fiancee said no :\

Etterra ,

Cats: I’m an obligate carnivore and will giga-cut you.

Etterra ,

The Borg are more ethical. At least they’re honest. The terms and conditions are a lot shorter too.

Etterra ,

Have you never watched the news? Southern states only accept two religions as valid in any context: Christianity and GUNS.

Etterra ,

He was a man of vision. I didn’t care about his music though.

Threads is trading trust for growth (werd.io)

Ben Werdmuller, a tech leader at ProPublica, discusses the trust crisis in Meta’s Threads app after his comment about the Internet Archive’s legal issues unexpectedly attracted a hostile audience. He was surprised by accusations of engagement farming, prompting him to question the assumptions behind such claims. Werdmuller...

Nothing says “efficiency” like a racist, drug addicted manchild with untreated ADHD who never sleeps.
