“tastes great, less filling”

surewhynotlem,

How else am I supposed to sleep?

surewhynotlem,

Quit 10 years sooner.

surewhynotlem,

I see you’ve met my daughter.

“Moooom! Dad tried to make me eat broccoli!!”

surewhynotlem,

Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because its sterile and I like the taste.

surewhynotlem,

I don’t doubt that some small (or not?) percentage of the population do think and act and vote this way.

The rest of us allow them to exist and breed and it will be the end of our species eventually.

surewhynotlem,

non elitist

The second post is literally “what’s your super power”.

Hilarious. Just joined

surewhynotlem,

It is completely ethical to remove the funding power from those who would cause others to suffer.

Just sayin, you have options.

surewhynotlem,

He called me an idiot. I said no, I’m a pessimist

surewhynotlem,

They’re going to be conned. Might as well be by someone who can help them with that money.

surewhynotlem,

Argumentum ad pessimism, actually

surewhynotlem,

We have awakened musta-quack-ish. All shall despair.

surewhynotlem,

And my point is that support and service desk IT people DO call themselves engineers. The guy above us did so. So if it were insulting, they sure they wouldn’t identify that way.

surewhynotlem,

insulting to the workers

Then why do the workers choose to identify as such in public?

No one at Subway is going around calling themselves an artist.

surewhynotlem,

It’s exactly this. No one complains when IT infrastructure engineers design and build systems and call themselves engineers, even though they don’t have a PE certification. So if they can do it, why not support staff?

surewhynotlem,

I have been downvoted to hell for what I’m about to say, but I’m going to say it again anyway.

IT support people are now called engineers. No, I don’t like it. No it’s not proper “engineering”. Yes, language evolves and there’s nothing we can do about it. If that’s a problem for people, I recommend screaming into the void. It doesn’t help, but you feel better after a while.

Thanks! I really like the idea that it was a test of skill of a blacksmith.

Yet more evidence for Giant cyclopes

surewhynotlem,

Unlikely why?

Here’s a video of it being used for that: youtu.be/76AvV601yJ0?si=kvdh4ZLiBCmyldPN

I have seen people argue that "they are pretty intricate and expensive things to use only for the purposes of knitting gloves. ". To them, I would like to submit my wife’s $1100 sewing machine that definitely gets used, and isn’t just some weird status symbol among creative types.

surewhynotlem,

I disagree. You would see a correlation between those people who think they are informed and those who vote.

And unfortunately, people who are smart enough to know they aren’t informed are probably the ones who should be voting. Forcing them to do so will cause some portion to read.

People who are SURE they are informed are either the very well informed, or the idiots who don’t know any better, but who will happily vote for whoever they are told.

surewhynotlem,

Bad news though. Almost none of today’s voters are properly informed either.

surewhynotlem,

This guy boots

surewhynotlem,

I’ve always done this (bought and external drive and pulled it out) but I never knew it had a name. Thank you!

surewhynotlem,

shotguns a cock

That’ll cost about $350
