Coworker is taking the midterms lost well... in c/insanepeoplefacebook@lemmy.world
[–] 11 points 1 day ago

It's funny how they always act like people don't understand them, and that their opinions are actually really straightforward to understand. But they don't get that it's the insinuations and passive-aggressive shit between the lines that people have a problem with.

Take for example their comments on same sex marriage. This whole "people can do what they like, I let God decide" is so weasely-worded. These are the same people who are hell-bent on rescinding gay marriage rights. And on top of that, the withering judgement is right there. He's basically saying "people can do what they like, but IT'S AN ABOMINATION TO GOD AND IT'S DESTROYING SOCIETY AND I WILL NOT REALLY ACCEPT IT AS REAL MARRIAGE!!"

Am I reading too much into this specific commented point? Maybe.

Have I seen this exact same sentiment and hypocrisy play out with every socially-strict conservative I've discussed this with (probably a couple of dozen of them over the years)? Definitely.

    I'm about halfway through my second box. It took me about 10 7 years to get through the first box.

    I agree about not knowing why people keep using the plastic disposable ones. Best I can see is a reluctance to change a habit and/or a fear of safety razors. But it's well worth the switch.

    What razor blades do you use? I started off years ago with Astra ones. They gave a good shave, and I like that I could get 2-3 shaved out of each side (so 4-6 in total per blade) before they became too dull. But they are made in Russia, and for moral reasons I switched to Feather (which are made in Japan). The Feather ones give a great shave, but they are really only useable once per side.

    Southampton manager handed suspended ban over Spygate scandal (news.sky.com)
     

    The head coach of Southampton FC has been given a suspended ban of six weeks and a fine of £28,000 over his role in the Spygate scandal.

    The Football Association announced its decision concerning Tonda Eckert after the German manager admitted misconduct charges relating to the observation of opponents' training sessions.

    TIL about Benner's Cycle - a predictive pattern created by an Ohian farmer in 1872 that tried to predict economic boom and bust cycles between 1873 and 2059 (en.wikipedia.org)
     

    For the most part the predicted market peaks and troughs are pretty accurate. This is more of a statistical analysis (using past numbers to predict future behavior) than a Nostradamus getting high and pulling predictions out of his ass.

    But still, there's a degree of confirmation bias influencing the believers (and conversely instinctive skepticism affecting doubters) that come into okay.

    Either way, I think it's an interesting tidbit from the past.

    Spain's Gavi: Argentina players shouldn't be punished for World Cup final fracas (www.espn.com)
     

    "No, to be honest, I don't think they should be suspended," Gavi told reporters on Tuesday when asked about the Argentinian players that were involved in the fracas.

    "I realize it doesn't set a good example for the children, but there's also that side to football that's a bit more violent," Gavi said.

    "Perhaps the most logical thing, in my view, would be to send him off during the match and leave it at that, but as I say, at the end of the day I think it's all part of football and that's just the way it has to be."
