That’s how I felt about infinity war and endgame.

I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn’t watched it after a good year and a half.

Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I’d finally watch it.

I’m impressed you’ve gone this long.

Not guilty.

In-laws children have a severely limited reading ability. 12 and 13 year Olds can barely read some 4-letter words.

Their math skills are worse, sitting around 2nd grade level.

The youngest are still in the “learn to socialize with other children” phase of education, but all 8 of their kids need severe assistance in their education.

But when one of the answers to their homework is “why is math perfect? because God is perfect and God made math” then it’s no surprise.

I’m a simple man.

I see GROND

I upvote/compliment.

GROND

Yeah, I’m getting really tired of people saying “well it’s an illegal order so it doesn’t matter” and not giving it another thought, despite everyone in power treating them as perfectly legal, and nobody doing a goddamn thing to put a stop to it.

If trump issues an executive order calling for executions of minorities, it doesn’t fucking matter how legal it is if the powers that be let people do it, and let Trump stay out of prison.

We aren’t to that point just yet, but I fully believe something on that level is coming, they’ve just got to ease into it so it just doesn’t seem that much worse than the last thing that was done.

Until I see actual consequences that make a difference, my hopes are sitting around 0.

Luckily the issue of “cars park too long in spaces” is a solved problem.

Meters, meter monitors, timed parking in general has been around for a long time.

Tow the cars parking beyond the limit, and that becomes a non-issue. No idea what the maximum charge time is on compatible EVs but just put it a little longer than that, and nobody has a reason (beyond the normal things that affect all drivers in timed spaces) to stay there beyond the charging time.

Yeah, I definitely see those as contextually non-gendered, but the moment someone asks me not to call them a certain thing… I just don’t call them that again, and apologize if I do. It takes almost 0 effort to use a different word.

I volunteer to catch it!

Under five minutes.

I interviewed, accepted the job offer at the end, showed up for my first scheduled shift and found out my manager wasn’t the polite manager I interviewed with.

For the record, I was supposed to start at 9am. It was 8:45 when I walked in.

Manager, literally yelling from about 300ft away: YOU’RE LATE!

Me, confused: I’m 15 minutes early?

Manager: I EXPECT YOU TO BE HERE HALF A HOUR BEFORE EVERY SHIFT, IF YOU’RE LATE AGAIN YOU’RE ON THIN FUCKING ICE

And I turned my happy ass around and walked out.

I don’t care if it was some bullshit tactic to “weed out” people, that is completely unacceptable behavior and in my younger years I have gotten into fist fights over someone speaking to another like that.

I had another job inside a week.

I don’t care if they had someone to fill my spot the next day. It wasn’t worth the time.

An acceptable trade.

Yes. Yes it is.

Personal experience.

I have a 750w inverter plugged into my 12v plug, and it is absolutely more than enough to run the little 500w single plate burner I have.

I have used them together but I don’t do it outside of camping when it’s too rainy to use a fire. It takes forever to cook bacon eggs and pancakes on a single burner.

The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.

The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.

I liek spec

The interviewee is getting an opportunity.

Yes, thank your masters for considering you for further exploitation

This is normal

This is good

This comment belongs in its own post

Not even close to being wrong. No thank you is needed. Honestly I see no reason to thank them at the end of the interview.

And no down votes from normal people, this is absolutely an insane person posting this.

I’ll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.

I ate it because I kept reading “aquariums” and thinking the author meant protected wildlife areas, and it didn’t click until I got to “marine exhibit”

And now I can honestly imagine them allowing rich fucks to literally fish inside national aquariums for a price.

Every argument I have ever heard boils down to “in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant” and the people espousing such opinions don’t at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.

“My tinnitus means I can’t distinguish high tones well” okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?

“I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution” okay my friend, but many people either don’t have that problem, or they’ve found a solution.

“These leopards would never eat my face! They wanted us here!”

Treating a telescope like a jackhammer isn’t going to work well.

They just haven’t figured out your jackhammer just looks a lot like their telescope.
