A straight fight when I am out hiking? Yeah 30 sounds reasonable out of a mob before you wear down, but I would definitely run away to get better tools for the squirrelpocalypse

Travel channel and Food network switch content sometimes

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,”  It’s like nails on a chalkboard every time I hear it. There is a very limited context where it may be applicable, but mostly it’s used to give up trying or mock someone for failing a task. Have you never gotten better at something over time? Learned an instrument? Played a hard video game? Learned to ride a bike? It stops problem solving dead and kills motivation making it less than useless. Oh and its misattributed to Einstein like every other shitty quote

Varjak Paw. Kind of hard to throw around as a recommendation because its at grade school reading level but its still a good story, the kind that makes you love reading

I have done something like this. You will feel like hell and depending how vitamin deficient you are you could end up in the hospital. When I did it I just bounced back within a few months so it was not worth it.

If you are trying to lose weight counting calories over a long period helped me lose about 50lbs. Just try to stay in weight loss range and exercise for 30 min a day to burn some calories

I have a PSN account and I definitely won’t use it to sign in. Why?

The ability to shape steel. Sounds basic but blacksmiths make the tools for everything else.

This man has nerves of steel. Dude said “you do what you gotta do I’m not running” to a man holding a gun in his face.

Yeah but I wasn’t for a long time. There was a spiderman cartoon where mary jane was targeted for murder because her name was in a database of organ donors and the villain needed her organs for his wife or something. scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and I had a knee jerk reaction when filling out the form I never really thought about. someone had to directly ask me before I realized I had based this decision on a cartoon I saw when I was 5.

*some humans with a skin condition

“These lines are only visible in those with a mosaic[1][2][3] skin condition or in chimeras where different cell lines contain different genes.” So yeah click bait article

well I have been rendered speechless on several occasions. The most recent is when I told an employee at a high level in our organization who was setting a password not to use his name, old passwords, or anything sequential like abc123. I spent the next half hour trying to figure out why it wasn’t accepting his password until I had him tell me one of the rejected ones. hisname123456789. He told me it’s not abc123. This man has multiple degrees and uses a computer every day. How is he this tech illiterate and just plain illiterate

Tuning a musical instrument by ear. I have tried to “train” my ear and all that but no dice. I can play well enough but if stuff goes out of tune I have no idea until I check it or someone tells me

I don’t think it ever sat right with me but I couldn’t say why at first. When I was pretty young the problem made itself more clear when we got a new pastor. I didn’t agree with what he was saying and perhaps more importantly what he was saying didn’t agree with what his predecessor was saying. I brought this up to my parents and they said that he wasn’t right about everything. Well that’s a problem then because it means all these beliefs are subjective. The more I thought about any one story parable text or anything, the more I thought that this is just another person who doesn’t really know anything. Even where it says “This is the word of god” Someone had to write it down. Someone had to translate it. The harder I looked for god the more I found men, and I do not have faith in men.

Ok even taking that argument at face value which is more than it deserves, is he implying he should not be politically correct in politics?

I buy stuff to support authors/artists that I like, and my dollar goes further if I keep as much money as possible out of corporate hands. Oh and if any scum bag puts ads in something I already paid them for I am pirating and seeding the torrents.
