I'll double down on the slight pitch.

I never got the kick in the nuts, was back to doing stuff the next day. Even resting for the rest of the day seemed silly for me.

Most countries require that your passport is valid for 6 months beyond the date of your travel.

Having something that expires "in a few weeks" is also a just reason to deny entry.

It doesn't need to be true, just convey a point :p

As one in engineering, I think our work is less about precision and more about solving (challenging) problems with what is needed and nothing more.

Anybody can build a deck that stands up, an engineer can build one that's just strong enough to stand up (for rated load haha)

I mean, I agree. I don't know why trying to understand the perspective of those you disagree with is such an unpopular idea?

I likely share a lot of the same views as others on here, but that doesn't seem to matter because I can be sympathetic to the "other side".

Look, I do my best to listen to right leaning ideologies, but no matter how correct they think they are, there always seems to be hypocrisy and contradiction in the way they get to their opinion on most matters.

If anyone ever wants to convince someone to change their mind on some core opinion, then calling them stupid isn't gonna get anyone anywhere but listening and asking questions (without judgment!) can get someone to follow. Look up "deep canvasing", interesting stuff.

Anyways... The meme was funny, my joking comment wasn't. Oh well.

I come after the great reddit API purge. Haven't looked back and I'm happy for it.

I've gotten part of my life back as a result.
