  • Because it drains your battery like you poked a hole in it?

  • Wait, do you just keep your Bluetooth on when you don't need it? Is that... are people doing that?

  • I'll shed a tear either way.

  • First, what does "paltry"mean (non-native and shit-faced at that, sorry). Second, why do US workers accept this (assuming you are US)? That sounds like kerosene to revolution.

  • I don't know what that means, exactly, but 10 sounds too much in any case.

  • I told my colleagues, I'm proposing the following new policy:

    Your luggage isn't weighed. Instead, the passengers hopeful are put up in a line. One after another, they get their luggage thrown in the face. Those who survive may board the plane.

    Additionally, luggage scales will henceforth only have one reading: "If you need to weight it, it's too heavy, idiot."

    Also, for adding the weights in both reasonable and imperial, you are the MVP of the day.

  • Say that again when you've worked at an airport and handled the idiots' stupid heavy luggage.

  • Ursaring, Pangoro, and Beartic are all weak to Fighting. So, just make sure you've got your Lucario at hand and Calm Mind-ed up, and pummel them with Aura Sphere. That way, you can also keep your distance.

    (Yes, I know Pangoro is a panda and not a black bear. But, uhm, uh... shut up!)

  • I'll just get a spray bottle of mercury and fuck your aluminium assface right up.

  • Though, isn't being part of a group the closest you can get in terms of relatedness?

  • Medical terms being used as an insult is a very specific (and problematic) case. And they also weren't turned into their own opposite. They were equalized with stupidity.

  • The worst part about that is, game theory is an actual field of math. You know, an ACTUAL theory.

  • I accept it in colloquial discourse. I'm not happy about it, and I will smartass at everyone who isn't asking, but I accept that I'm probably fighting a losing battle. But in science, it's absolutely non-negotiable for words to mean what they mean, and not their own opposite.

  • I don't think money should be an incentive at all, in the long run.

  • Not in person, no. But I've had biology profs say that something was "just a theory".

  • Both egoism and altruism are human nature. We are capable of both (for the most part). Currently, we have a socioeconomic system that rewards and encourages primarily the former. Why not try it the other way and see where that brings us?

  • I work at a large airport this summer. What is this "fully staffed" you're talking about, and where can I get it?

  • Normally, I'm all for language changing over time. If some word is used a certain way, so beit. But not here. Not in a case where people can end up saying dumb shit like "Evolution is just a theory." I will physically fight people on that, If need be.

  • Science shows us why the world is excting and lets us find even more exciting things. That beings said, it's still a funny joke.

  • thank you
