| Topic | Medical people - I have a question about something strange going on with me |
| R_Jackal 03/14/21 5:25:41 PM #5 | COVxy posted... Not medical, but I would go to the doctor very soon and have them do an EEG to monitor for epileptiform activity.This, not a medical person myself but had a friend that had something similar happen to him. Highly recommend this course of action. |
| Topic | $100K, or unlimited hot pockets for life. |

| R_Jackal 03/14/21 5:09:45 PM #6 | Neoconkers posted... this sounds like the sketchiest, money-launderingiest thing going. Art's always been bad for that, and this seems like a way to skip the whole "art" bit |

| R_Jackal 03/14/21 5:07:01 PM #158 | Joeydollaz posted... It is related they saidNo medicine is going to be perfect, but the rewards generally outweigh the risks on this one. I'm sure some random people died from taking a proper dose of acetaminophen out there just due to a weird reaction, but I'm sure that's not going to stop people from gulping it down for headaches. |

| R_Jackal 03/14/21 5:00:28 PM #156 | AzurexNightmare posted... This is unnecessarily depressing and I'm tired of seeing people like you post stuff like this.Your prerogative. The subject at hand is risk of dying from a vaccine or risk of dying from a disease, though. Not every viewpoint is going to be a happy one. That said, not my intention to be depressing but to give a shot of reality in to things like this, sorry. |

Common and life threatening ones, my test was about 150. Still pricey but not bad. How I found out I was allergic to bee stings. |

| R_Jackal 03/13/21 11:01:53 PM #94 | I went to sleep fine one night, and woke up the next morning literally unable to stop bleeding from my mouth and looking like I caught a beat down any time something touched me. I developed a sudden onset of a condition called ITP that was one of the worst cases my doctor ever heard about, I barely had enough blood platelets to keep me alive. I say this because you can die for literally no reason at all. No doctor could figure out why I got it and it had never come back since. It's better to take the small chance of something going wrong to prevent you from dying to something like COVID. You can die pretty much every single step you take, but you really don't think about it, even the most mundane tasks can kill us. No reason to fear them. |
| Topic | A $1400 stimmy every month for life, But you must give up these 5 things. |

| Topic | I really hate Shuri's flex over Tony and Banner in IW (SPOILERS) |
| R_Jackal 03/10/21 9:20:06 PM #63 | Happens in literally every TV show, movie, or whatever as soon as the main cast encounters an advanced civilization fit the first time. |
| Topic | How much soda do you drink per day? |
| R_Jackal 03/10/21 2:04:28 PM #64 | I gave up soda entirely when I hit 20, and never regretted it. Stuff is just awful. |
| Topic | Wealth tax now. 5% on $1 billion. 10% on 10 billion. Scratch that, make it 20%. |
| R_Jackal 03/10/21 2:02:05 PM #12 | pure_temper posted... Make it global. They exist as global citizens already, not as citizens of just one country. For them they get to leverage the entire planet and its benefits and blessings. You do realize that will never happen, because no one has enough global authority to do that right? Plus, as said, they're wealthy. Best case scenario is before it passes they'd just turn everything in to hard to follow cash or other assets and fuck off to live on one of those mega yachts and use their immense resources to make sure people don't find it. I love the idea, but there's no realistic way currently to enact a plan like this. |
| Topic | Wealth tax now. 5% on $1 billion. 10% on 10 billion. Scratch that, make it 20%. |
| R_Jackal 03/10/21 1:58:10 PM #8 | The problem with taxing the wealthy that much is that they're wealthy, they can legit just fuck off and take their money to some random ass country that won't do that. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, but yeah. |
| Topic | Valheim General: Early Access |
| R_Jackal 03/08/21 12:41:29 AM #66 | The more I play this game, the more I wish chests weren't just trash. Kinda wish they'd at least hold as many items as your inventory, maybe a little bit less, but I really don't like them. |
| Topic | Was Scorsese correct... Marvel movies aren't cinema |
| R_Jackal 03/08/21 12:38:27 AM #123 | From the definition he was using they aren't, but idgaf about his definition. When I sit down and watch a movie I just wanna enjoy it. I liked the Marvel movies and pretty much all of Scorsese's movies for different reasons. Kinda feels like an old guy yelling at people for people spending too much time with their heads in books/watching tv/at a computer/whatever it will be in the future. |
| Topic | $1,000,000, or immunity to bullets. |

| Topic | Take Two CEO argues that players are ready for $70 games |
| R_Jackal 03/07/21 3:20:39 PM #73 | If they want the price to jump to $70 they better put out closer to complete games and less DLC. |
| Topic | How are we going to deal wi h overpulation? |
| R_Jackal 03/06/21 10:21:38 AM #38 | Iirc birth rates are declining as quality of life goes up now, most scientists don't think we'll quite hit 10b and it'll start declining |
| Topic | where i live, minimum wage is already 14 dollars and lemme tell you. its hell |
| R_Jackal 03/06/21 9:40:01 AM #10 | Yeah, I live in the middle of nowhere, Minimum wage is slightly above federal, and those are the prices I got here lol. |
| Topic | Is this tweet racist? |
| R_Jackal 03/06/21 9:36:13 AM #105 | Yeah it is. People don't realize you can say something true and still have it be racist. Every race of people have committed awful acts in general, admittedly with less global impact. Humanity in general loves to commit atrocities on itself. Not to mention you can easily blame people for these things when they had absolutely nothing to do with it. Mass generalizations about any race tend to be discriminatory in general and only help perpetuate more hate. |
| Topic | Have you gotten free shit on amazon? |
| R_Jackal 03/05/21 12:21:08 PM #9 | They sent me a box full of fidget spinners like eight months ago that I never even looked at nor ordered. Probably like 20 of em in there, all Dallas Cowboys themed. I asked them about it, it was legit and basically boiled down to they're not selling so they gave them to random people. Dunno what to do with them. I just left them out during Halloween and I still have some left. |

| R_Jackal 03/04/21 8:19:12 AM #4 | Lairen posted... Same garbage joycons. Hori makes awesome joycon replacements, no wireless on them though. Cheaper too. They also make a great Switch Pro Controller that has no rumble. Both are like 20 usd cheaper than the Nintendo ones and they're officially licensed by Nintendo lol. |
| Topic | Religion gets too much hate. |
| R_Jackal 03/03/21 10:42:36 PM #26 | Like most things, the fanatics ruin it for everyone else. Having looked in to a lot of religions a large portion of the popular ones todays general idea is "don't be a dick." Some people take this as "be a dick all the time." |
| Topic | Best careers to go into at the moment? |
| R_Jackal 03/03/21 8:25:29 PM #56 | Questionmarktarius posted... Everyone has been told, for three or four decades, that you gotta go to college. Then, after four or five (or more) years and a pile of loans dumped into a maybe-useful degree, the last thing you're going to want to do is stick your hands into a trash bin or car engine.That's just called foolish pride. Having grown up poor as fuck, I never gave a damn where my money came from as long as I got it--and yeah, I did go to college. Never stopped looking for a job in the field I wanted, but I was also working doing remodels. Reason why a lot of my friends followed my lead was I managed to completely avoid that "getting in to the adult world out of college in crippling debt" phase. |
| Topic | Best careers to go into at the moment? |
| R_Jackal 03/03/21 7:36:48 PM #48 | If you want to do it for a while, pretty much damn near every manual labor field is absolutely starved for employees best I can tell--most of my friends are in the field and constantly talking about how hard it is to get stuff done because no new people come in. That's everything from trash men to general contractors and auto mechanics/body work. Medical fields are in a weird spot with COVID, I predict it'll either flood with people or starve with no real in between--probably starve due to how much work they all had to put in. That said, IT, CyberSec, and Lawyers will forever be needed in the modern climate of things. Edit: I should specify these are likely super competitive, but if you can get ahead of the pack you'll likely make some solid cash. |
| Topic | Sex expert claims men can have sex with each other without being gay |
| R_Jackal 03/03/21 5:36:02 PM #277 | I dunno when these things became so complicated. I feel like if you're a guy and feel like you could have sex with another guy "just to get off" you're at least bi or unsure of your sexuality. Not like we're at a point in time where you'd be blasted for coming out for that, thankfully--and if you are for whatever reason ridiculed for it there's at least a lot of open areas/people/communities for support which is fantastic. Not a fix-all but better than it was even 10~20 years ago. Speaking as someone who never really had an issue with that, which means I'm probably at least a little ignorant on the subject, I've never been horny enough to consider doing anything sexual with another guy, and I've gone... a long time without sex in one part of my life, and I wasn't depressed or on anything to stunt urges. Even then, I'd say if you aren't gay and had got so horny you'd consider it, you're probably just the sort that has little impulse control regardless of circumstance. I'd say it's more about immediate gratification than even sex at that point. |
| Topic | I can't believe Auckland, NZ went on lockdown because of 1 new Covid case |
| R_Jackal 03/03/21 12:46:44 PM #16 | Kinda forget that this all ultimately started with a single person. Not just any specific areas thing but the whole pandemic had to start with "just one" somewhere. If we want this thing to die off or at least become less relevant moves like this are necessary. |
| Topic | Who else is excited that lockdowns are finished? |
| R_Jackal 03/01/21 10:04:48 PM #24 | Trumble posted... Part of my country just went back in to one on the weekend. And I'm not at all convinced that it won't end up needing to be extended to other parts.Yeah, I feel like watching how this is going the past year it's been: Stay away from gatherings, things get better--Hey, things are better! Let's all celebrate--Oh shit, things are worse again back inside--Hey things are better! over and over again and we can't seem to learn from it. |
| Topic | Who else is excited that lockdowns are finished? |
| R_Jackal 03/01/21 2:57:30 PM #12 | GregShmedley posted... What lockdowns? Should have been stricter and heavily enforced.This, too. If we actually had anything close to a real lockdown it likely wouldn't have been as bad as it was in the US. |
| Topic | Who else is excited that lockdowns are finished? |
| R_Jackal 03/01/21 2:54:36 PM #10 | Eh, may be done but I'll err on the side of caution. I feel like it's going to get a lot worse one more time with people lying about getting vaccinations and shitheads walking around spewing on things during this lift. But, I live out in the middle of nowhere so lockdown or no doesn't really effect me much in the first place. |
| Topic | Valheim General: Early Access |
| R_Jackal 02/28/21 7:40:40 PM #10 | Loving the game. Has the right blend of survival mechanics, building, and action. Also the janky PS2 graphics make me feel nostalgic lol. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite games to just chill out and play. |
| Topic | The woman I'm seeing just sent me a text "You're dead to me." |
| R_Jackal 02/27/21 3:46:52 PM #38 | Shoulda just out-gamed whatever was going on and not responded. If she sent another one coulda just responded that you were busy being dead. Best case, it plays out as some stupid shit and you get over it. Worst case, you avoid drama. |

| Topic | How is it like 80% of you have engorged brains and |
| R_Jackal 02/22/21 2:31:01 PM #30 | It's actually very easy to own property in pretty much any of the flyover states, and very affordably. It's how I got back on my feet after some serious bad luck. Definitely comes with tradeoffs but I ended up like a thousand times better off after living in one for a decade. |

| R_Jackal 02/21/21 11:16:14 PM #6 | ArianaGrandSlam posted... sure, but everyone knows Russia is really cold This right here is largely why it's considered a stupid move. |
| Topic | Do you consider yourself a democrat or a republican? |
| R_Jackal 02/21/21 9:08:37 PM #43 | Neither, tying myself to a party that doesn't actually give a fuck about me seems like a poor decision |

| Topic | Cut the bullshit and tell me how people are going to recover from this |
| R_Jackal 02/20/21 12:20:51 PM #7 | This is why I've always lived by the motto prepare for the worst and hope for the best. It's going to be awful though, there's going to be massive fallout when this is all over. Simple fact is the US has always valued debt above all else not money and now damn near everyone is going to suffer for it. |
| Topic | Bitcoin is literally free and easy money. Why are you not buying? |

| Topic | Name some PS1 games that you consider a "lost gem". |
| R_Jackal 02/20/21 10:53:48 AM #132 | Bishop9800 posted... I keep hearing about this one. It's called PS1's answer to Zelda. Is it good?It's very good honestly, it's kind of basic by current standards but it was all around top notch for it's time and had a pretty solid story. Just stay away from Alundra 2, it's a terrible abomination. |
