All of that, but also “These poorly translated parts of the old testament which let me hate others can stay, though.”

Something I find interesting about other religions in the world is that most of them commit to the whole thing, or at least a lot of it, even when it’s inconvenient. Islam has so many things happening all the time, a lot of which involves fasting or not eating certain things, or praying at annoying times in specific ways. Then there’s Christianity, a religion where the most you really have to do is have an annoying bumper sticker and go to church where someone tells you to hate other people but that you can ignore all the bothersome stuff like no tattoos, no mixing fabrics, or any of that other stuff.

It’s a joke religion for lazy people who want excuses.

Why wait? What is with people trying to act so slick and cool?

Yes, it sucks, but it’s a) being used as if it’s intelligent, which is arguably much worse, and b) going to eventually get to a point where it’s at least not terrible(at its job, specifically, as it’s pretty bad for a lot of things).

For a personal reason, I’m worried about it because it’s very likely filtering my CV based on a work gap that’s only getting worse because my CV is getting filtered. It’s not intelligent, but HR companies and departments are using it for that anyway.

A guy at my last job had a major, fundamental misunderstanding of how the local building code was updated annually. He, and the partner who said I was wrong for “insubordination” when I refused to do the work using outdated codes, ended up in front of the professional engineers board and had to formally make a plan to show how they would never make that mistake again. It wasn’t exactly license revoking, but it felt great to have started that process haha

The best part was that I know the firm’s code nerd was spoken to to tell me I was wrong and they sent out a company wide notice about making sure your code was updated. No one ever apologized to me. I only submitted the report after they let me go for “not being a good fit”.

The “centrists” and conservatives will always be hostile. The world needs to stop playing their game, stop giving them appeasement compromises, stop voting center to avoid conservatism and getting it anyway.

There is nothing you can do to compromise with someone who believes that human life has no inherent value. There is nothing you can do to compromise with someone who still cannot admit to a genocide in Palestine. It’s not being a “purist”, there’s still so much nuance and diversity of opinion that exists once we strip away the absolute bullshit and throw it in the fucking trash where it belongs.

If you don’t vote in the primaries then of fucking course your candidates are “too left to win”.

There are so many fuckin’ losers out there bitching that who they’d prefer “doesn’t have support” while actively not supporting them. Of course they’re losing, you’re deciding they’ve failed before it even happens and leaving them in the dirt.

It is a failure of voters, too, but it’s a failure of the Republican voters and the “centrists” who fight hard to make sure that nothing ever gets done.

That’s where you’re at? Blaming people who are fed up with the US’ god-awful system? Mad that they didn’t vote for the same party that enables this crap?

Up here in Canada, we have a progressive option and I am so fucking mad that people refused to vote for them. This “enable the conservatives masquerading as the center” thing is old and tired, and I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’ve never fallen for it, and I’m so disappointed in people that tell me that it’s my fault despite being one of the few people actually doing the right thing.

I will never blame people for sending a message and doing their best to use what little voice they have. The Democrats couldn’t even beat Trump and all they had to do was admit to one of the most obvious genocides in history. The people who refused to vote for them are well aware of what happened, and as far as I’m concerned their names are clean.

Be mad at tens of millions of people who actively and cheerfully voted for Trump. Be mad at the “moderates” who tell everyone to suck it up and vote slightly-less-conservative but who will never make any effort to make a progressive compromise. Don’t be mad at the people who didn’t want their name marked under “actively supporting a genocide”. It’s not their fault the US is a flaming shithole that deserves nothing less than to be thrown into the fucking sun.

Go after the people actively causing the damage or go find a tall bridge over fast moving water.

The solution would then be to reduce car traffic, honestly, not tell people to be ok with this. I remember my roommate trying to be quiet in the other room while talking to someone and it was keeping me up(several perfectly acceptable reasons I let it happen, one of them being I knew it would end, but still).

I have a friend on a groundfloor who has trains go by their place somewhat regularly, but that’s also not frequent and they got to choose to be there, where these people where there first.

I’ve experienced situations like this, it’s not fun. The unceasing nature is probably the worst part, where you can put up with a lot specifically because you know that it will end at some point but if it’s just going on forever that’ll drive ya nuts.

Super strong “If I told you who I really was you’d never have slept with me!” energy.

It’s called consent. If people wouldn’t want to engage with the content unless they were misled in some way then that amounts to manipulation and a violation of trust. Looks like Epic Games just told the whole world that they would lie to their customers if they felt like the truth would give them too much choice.

Fuck ‘em.

He literally talked about how the sound never went away like with highways. I live in a city, night time is significantly quieter without all the cars ripping around. Cities are actually pretty damn quiet, it’s the cars that are loud. He said it felt like a low conversation that never, ever stopped and that it was impossible to get away from, even in his own bedroom where us city folk are pretty safe from too much sound.

I’m sure that sounds we can’t hear are also really bad, not arguing that, and I am also not arguing that the data itself would be awesome(they may be compiling and not ready to put all the data out yet) and thank you for the acknowledgement.

Literally you can hear the thing in the video. I don’t need to trust his words if I can hear the fucking thing clear as day. I also hadn’t heard the noise like that yet, so it was new to me. You’re just moving the goalposts to justify your shitty attitude.

With allies like you, who needs enemies?

You called it “pointless”, thay was the problem. You could not see any worth in the video without seeing the number. Yes, it would be nice to see it, but holy fuck, dipshit, you can kick rocks with attitude.

And let the door hit you on the way out.

Did you not hear the noise with your own two ears? Are you that fucking deaf and willfully ignorant that you you need to see a number and can’t, without it, hear exactly what he’s talking about?

“It’s a conversation that never stops, is in your bedroom, and you can’t turn off, ever. It’s not loud but it never stops.” should be more than enough to make the point abundantly clear especially when you can fucking hear the sound in the video.

And out of the people who do need them, vans are still a much better way to go for many of them. Vans which have at least a margainally better field of view with their short, sloped hoods.
