Now excuse me, I gotta go swiff my floors.

With one tongue-in-cheek sentence you unraveled your point lol. The difference between the ground outside and the floor inside is that I regularly clean the floor inside while outdoors remains outdoors. I don’t think people are wearing slippers so their floors will be perfectly sanitary and able to be eaten off of, it’s so that you’re not bringing in piles of dirt and nastiness every time you come inside. It helps keep your floors clean for longer and makes cleaning them easier.

I don’t mean this in an insulting way, but have you ever come close to accomplishing what this woman did? NASA officials are not “random people”. Wanting to receive recognition for your work is a very human thing and it’s weird that you’re trying to make it weird.

Is that such an odd take and/or did I fail miserably to communicate that?

I mean it’s a bit of both. I understand where you’re coming from in being proud of what you’ve accomplished regardless of what a website says, but when it’s something that you should be recognized for, and have been recognized for, and it’s taken away from you for such insulting reasons, it’s a different story than just “a record someone has about you”.

And regardless of what you’re trying to communicate, telling someone who went from being homeless to working at NASA that they need to touch grass is a pretty wild take

It’s less archaic if you’re familiar with the term “vague posting”, meaning to post something specifically about someone but not to mention them by name (but usually enough information for those who know both parties to know who the post is about).

Seems like it’s been shortened to just the first word.

That’s fuckin sick! Thank you for sharing.

Can you explain the joke?

Fantastic reply. Thanks for taking the time to write it out and thanks again for the insight into the very important work you do.

Uhh… ok? Not sure what I did to offend you, but sorry, I think…

Edit: can someone else tell me what’s weird? I don’t think anyone would compare seeing a mentally unwell person fondling their wiener to getting straight up assaulted, and I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t try to stop someone from being assaulted if they could help. Where am I off?

A random homeless dude jerking off in the streets is not even in the same ballpark as someone getting raped in a bathroom, cmon. And it’s not something you “sign up for”, if you’re not a piece of shit, you see someone in danger that you can maybe help, you try to help them. They aren’t saying there’s literally just a group of dudes sitting in a bathroom waiting for someone to try something, they’re saying in a bathroom full of dudes, there’s a pretty high chance if something does happen, they’re not all going to just sit around or walk out.

This is the second time you’ve commented about men “whipping their dicks out” in public restrooms.

You seem to have zero worries about men bringing their children into bathrooms where women are whipping their vag out though…

Is it because women don’t whip their vag out in public restrooms? Well, have I got news for you about what men go to the restroom for…

(Hint: it doesn’t involve whipping.)

Man, zooming in and looking at these icons was like a blast from the (not too far) past.

Plastic knobs are more your mom’s thing.

These knobs are usually painted plastic, so it’s reasonable to think it got broken or something.

Pretty much the only direction to take this in is a rant from the human engineer

I see. Frustrating that I don’t recall the program giving any kind of warning or message that what I was trying simply would not work. I guess this is something a “real” Linux user would know.

That might’ve been the issue, I have an SSD with all my games/programs installed and another SSD with my OSes, Proton is probably on the OS SSD.

Idk about that. I put Linux on a second drive in my main PC a couple months ago and tried a handful of games, I don’t think I got any of them to work.

I know I tried baldurs gate 3, The Forest, and I think Satisfactory.

I’m sure that someone is going to call me an idiot for not being able to figure it out, but the point of the parent comment was that Proton is “really good now”, implying it shouldn’t be a headache, and if it takes more than 5 minutes for a game to simply launch that’s exactly what it is.

In your grocery example, is your argument that the person should just stand around the store, offering to hold people’s stuff with no compensation, and no fallback if compensation is withheld? I was expecting the “holding person’s” terms to become unreasonable but everything sounds just about right.

That isn’t even remotely close to the same situation. Most people have never actually paid for OneDrive,they use the free version and then this happens when it expires. And if you do pay, then decide to cancel, that isn’t “not tipping” them, it’s… not paying for the service anymore.

If you load all of your groceries into someone’s car, and tell them you’ll pay to have them delivered, and you never do, they certainly can leave with your groceries.

These two comments are incompatible. It can’t be, “they just didn’t hire another artist for a second package” as well as “deliberately misleading”.

What makes you say it’s deliberately misleading, rather than saving money?
