Rev3rze , 1 month ago to Memes in The fuk? Please help me complete this insane captcha

I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we'd have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.

Tiny nitpick: I think you meant 0.5 by 0.5 cm (or 5 by 5 mm).

The final frame in this comic portrays strong anger at rejection

No, it doesn't. It shows mild anger at being insulted for no reason. Are you running on the assumption that he's asking her out in this scenario? The only rejection he got was unsolicited. Like if I walk up to the next woman in the street, ask if she's single and when she says "yes" I respond "nevermind, you're not good enough". Now she's upset and understandably so.

I'm in full agreement with your point, but this comic is not a representation of that in any way.

The judge would use this sign to make an example of you.

As they should. It seems like common sense that this sign should be enough and anybody that ignores it "is an idiot that has themselves to blame for the discomfort of food poisoning". But it's suddenly a whole different story when your grandma of 82 has died a painful death from severe salmonella infections just because she forgot her reading glasses that day.

The risk of death is tiny but nevertheless an unacceptable risk to assume just so some other people can keep buying their snack for a couple of days instead of shutting down the machine.

I'm assuming that's a side effect. Looking it up it seems to have started because the people of the time believed it reduced transmission of STDs and that it lessens the urge to masturbate.

Yeah, I don't believe these megachurch pastors believe the word of God at all, or they wouldn't be in that line of work.

Somehow in being an atheist I'm a more honest Christian than them in that I at least state outright that I'm not a Christian. That's more honest than pretending to be Christian just to leverage people's hopelessness to scam them into an even more dire and hopeless situation.

I had the exact same infuriating experience the first half hour of using my OLED panel but it turns out it was simply because Firefox doesn't support hdr. You have to use edge or chrome for hdr content online. So now I use edge purely for YouTube and Firefox for everything else.

I simply can't eat fries without mayonnaise... I do suspect that the mayonnaise we use for fries here is different from what you get in the states, though I've never been there so I can't say for sure.

My eyes were shut to this for such an embarrassingly long time. One time while on the phone with my sister she was catcalled/harassed. I could hear it and asked "what the fuck was that?!". She shrugged it off. It was normal to her. The fact that she was so cavalier about it really opened my eyes to how different the female experience is in this world and it breaks my heart.

Girls, feel free to be loud about this (if you feel like it, if course). It's a big deal and (assuming my experience is typical) the men in your life might be clueless to the severity of it.

Wow. What an incredible let down. He really has abandoned science. Any biologist worth their salt understands that biology is never binary. He fucking knows better and chooses to present it as black and white while wilfully ignoring the massive spectrum in between.

I really expected more humanity from him.

Ah shit. I'm out of the loop. What did Dawkins do?

Rev3rze , 5 months ago to Lefty Memes in Life goals

It's always been in my contracts, a month's notice is the norm here. I've never broken that but I've also been fortunate enough to work at places where work and life are balanced. I wouldn't have wanted to disrupt the work for my colleagues and my managers have always shown their respect for me to the point that I want to work with them instead of against them. I don't think I'll ever work for an employer that puts the company over the wellbeing of their employees. I've seen what being a real team means. People cooperate freely and go the extra mile for eachother if necessary and cut massive amounts of slack to anybody in the team that's having a tough time and needs to focus on their life outside of work for a bit.

That said I won't ever get any bonuses or make large amounts of money in my career either but that's not what I'm after if it would mean putting work before life.

I'm not from the US but I always assumed "at-will employment" works both ways. You're telling me it doesn't?

Don't know what the 2019 yaris is like but my 2006 yaris with 335.000 KMs on the odometer regularly sits in the drive for a week, sometimes two at a time without moving. I had a battery die on me after towing a caravan in 38°C weather with it for a whole day. This was in 2018, that battery lasted me until last year when the mechanic told me it was going down and needed replacing. All this to say that unless Toyota has gone to absolute shit over the years then I'm guessing something isn't quite right with your mum's yaris.

(okay yes, I also wanted to put my trooper of a yaris in the spotlight. My first car ever and the best deal I will ever make in my life).

Well, you did a good job condensing where you were coming from in two paragraphs. Enough to make me realise that I mistook your original meaning completely. I hadn't heard the 6 hours of work a week number before. In fact, I've never really questioned the logic I was taught with regards to agriculture being the start of civilisation due to freeing up hands and allowing people to settle down, because hunter gatherers would have to roam around at least a little to follow herds or seasonal effects on available forage. That understanding was based on what I've learned in history 101 at high school though.

I started out a bit argumentative because I read your comment as an overly dramatic lamentation that I took to mean something like: "people are so bad I wish we weren't born/evolved". Thanks for taking the time to kindly explain. I'm always interested in having a possible blind spot or internalised assumption revealed and to reassess entrenched beliefs.
