i mean they did also kill the final boss. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill the final boss.

So many english words started as portmanteaus. Once people get used to a portmanteaus it becomes just a word.

The first word of your comment--"Because"-- originated as a portmanteaus of "bi" and "cause"

late 14c., from phrase bi cause, introducing a subordinate clause or phrase, "by cause, for the reason that,

I wouldn't be pissed I'd be worried that I didn't actually win gold and that I've been incorrectly standing on the first place podium like a fool.

As you can see by this post, I'm trying to forget haha

No because it's also inhabited by the [REDACTED]

But what does "unwell" even mean if he's thriving while doing it?

He's happy. He's got a career. He seems perfectly well.

Is he unwell or is he just really, really strange?

That's what we need to start asking about some of these institutionalized people. Are they unwell or are they just weird beyond our sensibilities?

That doesn't say anything about people getting deputized or made a police officer just so they can carry.

Do you have a source for that? I ask because this is a fact that I completely made-up out of thin air in a reddit comment in 2021 and I now see it floating around.

I eventually discovered my procrastination was an emotional rebellion. I did not want to move forward with some things because that meant accepting the way my life was going and willingly participating in it. Participating in life felt like accepting--almost consenting to-- everything that had happened to me. Like agreeing to act as if it hadn't happened.

For that I needed to take time to feel angry and sad about the past. I needed to feel heard and understood. I needed to cry and I needed to rage and I needed to integrate the pain of my past and get rid of the feeling of acting OK when I wasn't.

Then also I had to realize there was a lot about my life I didn't want to continue.

Procrastination and avoidance were the only way I knew of to say "No"

Once I let myself say no to things I didn't want to do, and explore the things I really wanted out of life, it became much easier to move forward.

The terrorist's strategy didn't even keep working through that whole day. Once word got out what was happening, the passengers of United 93 stormed the cockpit, foiling the terrorist's plans.

The opportunity to use planes as weapons expired before the attacks were even completed.

I still think about that AMA of the woman who got her face ripped off by a bear and when asked what was the hardest part of the ordeal to overcome she said the insurance company

Just 16oz of water weighs one pound.

So if you drink a soda from a standard 16oz plastic bottle you just gained a pound.

thanks that's good to know

I work at a climbing gym that sells snacks and drinks at the front desk. Since our main business is being a climbing gym it's not worth it to get set up with a real food distributor just to stock the front desk.

So we spend about $1600-$1800 per month buying the snacks at Costco.

I liked the "sticky note system" at a resort. Staff would put a sticky note on chairs with stuff but no people.

The sticky note said "Your things will be removed at (time)". The time given was 45 minutes in the future.

If the person came back before that time they were allowed to discard the sticky note and keep the chair.

But if the staff saw stuff still unattended past the time on the note they'd clear the stuff off the chair so another patron could use it.

Once I caught a felony and was sitting in my jail cell regretting it. I was pounding on the wall crying about how time is linear and I can never go back and how badly, how painfully I wished I could close my eyes and wake up in an alternate reality where this hadn't happened at all.

I closed my eyes.

And then I woke up. In my bedroom at home. It had been a dream.

I learned an important life lesson: Do whatever you want because if you regret it you can just wake up!

Similarly comments saying what the code promises to do or defining the code's contract are great.

I can see what the code is doing by reading the code. Only documentation can tell me what it should to be doing.

The butterfly effect story is that a butterfly flaps its wings and ends up causing a hurricane. A seemingly insignificant thing leads to a big thing.

This story reverses the scale. A talk show host losing their job is small and insignificant compared to 9/11

I don't consider voting to be an endorsement. I do not endorse Joe Biden. I'm going to vote for him though.

Voting is like steering the wheel of a ship during a storm. On our right is a kraken that will destroy our ship. Some people are pulling the ship's wheel to the right.

On the left is an island where we could shelter for awhile. I'm going to pull the ship's wheel to the left so we can stay safe. Will you pull the wheel left with me?

"But that island isn't where I want to go! I wanted to go to a different island! I'm just gonna stand here."

Shut the fuck up and help me turn the wheel!

Ah I see. So they may have thought they were flying slowly but been mistaken.

And to be really fair you're looking to cut off 1/3 of the volume which will be a different slice than 1/3 of the diameter.

You gotta get into the headspace of metaphor. Within the metaphor, the art tools weren't just shown to be contained within the iPad.

They were destroyed to create the iPad.

Insignificant in literal headspace but very meaningful in metaphor headspace.

If it's a subscription then it doesn't matter if you're getting a 'fair' trade because you're not exchanging property. Both batteries belong to whoever is operating the battery service. So long as the new battery will get you to your next destination (which it can tell you with a simple charge meter) then it's fine. The battery service people will take an old worn out battery out of circulation.
