    Correction: someone did a study at MIT about aluminum helmets, not tin foil hats. The important distinction being aluminum vs. tin.

    Word to the wise: Only buy tin for your protective day wear, as it hasn’t been proven ineffective at blocking radio waves by MIT, unlike aluminum. Stay safe out there!

    Quick addendum: This is a bit. Don’t come after me, Big Aluminum.






  • Trivializing is taking very real and major struggles that certain humans experience to much greater degree than others and pretending it has the same gravity as minor annoyances that a wide range of people experience.

    If your comment is a joke or otherwise intended to be lighthearted, I apologize, but people saying in earnest what you said is a pretty major pet peeve of mine.

    Just like a sword is protective against another sword, a gun is protective against another gun.

    Someone swings a sword at you? Simply parry the blade.

    Someone shoots at you? Simply shoot the bullets out of the air.


    Nah, but the honest response is that guns are relatively commonly referred to as ‘protection’ (at least where I am) and I thought the word bit would be funny here, and also because it was my first thought. For what it’s worth, I agree with you that guns aren’t protective as a whole.

    Pre edit: Spoilers for FF legend II.

    Edit 2 electric boogaloo: We got spoiler tags up in here!

    spoiler

    FF Legend II is a fucking crazy game. If you get a game over, you meet Odin, and he makes a deal with you to bring you back if you promise to fight him later on.

    Well sure enough, you gotta fight him, and after you win, there’s no option to come back on a gameover, cause you killed the dude who brings you back. It’s just the option to reload a save after that.

    Not sure if I’ve ever seen a game before or after that with that kind of mechanics change on a boss kill.

    I was even thinking of deleting my previous comment because I figured someone would try to explain how my awful experience was normal and justified from the perspective of doctors/insurance, but I left it, and here we are. Go figure. I gave you the summary. There’s some important context left out, but I didn’t wanna write a book, so maybe just understand that people aren’t putting their whole life story into each and every comment.

    There was no risk management involved, just shitty doctors, and shitty insurance companies. I went to urgent care, then a dentist, then urgent care again. Every time explaining that I had a bad tooth, was eating, cracked it, and was in immense pain since that point, with swelling to follow. None of them gave a shit, no referrals, no antibiotics, nothing. I got in with an oral surgeon without a referral, only because my mom knows that guy, and he told me to immediately go to the ER where he personally would come pull my tooth.

    Is that enough context for you? Or do I need to continue justifying my experience like I had to with my doctors in this exact story?
