50 Random But Funny Posts Shared In An Online Group Aptly Named ‘Delusions Of Adequacy’
InterviewWhatever you tell me, you wouldn’t convince me there’s not a single bit of nerd in each of us. Whether you're referencing Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter or taking bits from Dungeons or Dragons to the real world, or still talking of Game Of Thrones, both praising it as a masterpiece and complaining about how bad the ending was, we all have our soft spot.
But if you’re a solid nerd-overlord, pointing out not-so-obvious things that make the rest of the crowd shrug in confusion, this corner of Reddit may be just for you. The Delusions Of Adequacy subreddit is a place to share random, nerdy, and geeky stuff all mysteriously explained by the group’s description “the road to adequacy leads through the dark forest of your own inadequacy.”
To find out more about this quirky online community, Bored Panda spoke with the creator behind it named Nick East. Nick is an aspiring fantasy author and self-confessed geek who runs both the Delusions of Adequacy subreddit and a Facebook page by the same name.
So let’s walk that forest road and see where it takes us right below!

Terry Pratchett was a legend. This should be much higher. GNU Sir Terry Pratchett
It is SIR Terry Pratchett. The queen did not do all that accolade-with-a-sword-and-medals-and-sashes for nothing, you know. Also, he definitely earned it with his books.
You know he made his own sword after he got knighted? Thunderbolt iron I believe.

Load More Replies...We spoke to Nick East, the creator behind the subreddit, who said it initially started with a Facebook page, which in fact has been running longer than the subreddit, “as a place for me to save and share memes with friends.” “On it, me and an old college friend both share memes, which I find interesting in a way, because we rarely talk, but in a way we do... with memes,” Nick explained.

The reason I’ve played halfway thru Metroid Prime 3x in the last 3 years. *facepalm*
Load More Replies...OMG yes please!!! I was stuck on stupid on Assassin's Creed Valhalla last year when I got it for my birthday, but then got busy and haven't played in months and now I'm scared to play again because I forgot how to do EVERYTHING lol
Dang I need this for school! I can't even remember what I was doing in most of my games.
Can we also have the 'Quick Complete for "FedEx" quest'? (get item, take to NPC, come back, get reward) "We know you are busy and have not had time to play. Use this to bypass the running thru world just to increase playtime *skip* to move along and enjoy the game more."
That would be warp, but more to the point, that's a design flaw, games are not supposed to put you up doing boring stuff

Part of the appeal of Delusions of Adequacy and the corresponding Facebook page has to do with the fact that many people find the groups so specific and miscellaneous that it’s not entirely clear what the whole concept is about.
But the quirky creator of the subreddit clearly has his own vision for it. “I prefer to let people make up their own minds, I guess I'm assuming those who get my brand of humor will understand it, and those who don't get it never will, no matter how much I try to explain,” he told us in an interview.
Nick added that sometimes he “may even be deliberately confusing.” His approach clearly reflects in the posts shared on Delusions Of Adequacy, where totally random content meets geeky and nerdy things, and even philosophy.

I Found The Perfect Description Of My Personal Delusion Of Adequacy
The term "common sense" has been so misused as to become meaningless. Don't have a rational argument? It's common sense. I recently saw a video by some anti-vax loon who was asked how he knew they use aborted fetuses to make vaccines. It's common sense he answered. Que?
Common sense is an illusion. It mainly consists of what society taught us is normal.
For some things, I feel like understanding basic cause and effect of natural law is a lot of common sense too.

There's No Time Limit On Having Fun, Unless You Put It There Yourself
Who says you can't have fun n do fun stuff as an adult!? 26 n im going to disney with mu mlm n dad ny mom n i are doing the cat im the hat ride!
The creator said he likes anything that makes people think about things, wherever that may lead them. “I just want people to try and think their way into adequacy.” In this way, you can interpret the subreddit as a lighthearted provocation.
It’s worth adding that much of the posts on the subreddit are shared by Nick himself. Thus, he believes, his sense of “humor is a big part of the appeal of delusionsofadequacy.” On the other hand, Nick is aware “it's not something everyone appreciates, but I'm okay with that, since I'm free to post my opinions, people should be free to let me know they don't like them.”

References Should Go Both Ways, Just Because I'm A Dick Doesn't Mean You're Not One Too
That's why during an interview you ask if the position your applying for is new.
In Tennessee, a prospective employer can only ask to verify the dates of employment. However, an employee can be fired for any reason the employer cares to use.
This should be mandatory. It's a good idea to check employee reviews online (numerous sites offer this service) to see if the company is up to your ethical standards.
I guess so if they came to you recruiting you for the job. But if you came to them applying for the job then maybe not so much. 😬

Water itself cost barely anything when it is the mass of a bottle. You are paying for the bottle. BAN PLASTIC BOTTLES!!!
Actually, the bulk of the cost of bottled water is transportation. Don't buy Fiji water unless you live in Fiji.
Load More Replies...I have worked for one of these company you can find their bottles almost everywhere around the world, they are located in the middle of nowhere pumping water directly from the ground, they don't pay taxes and have around 20 employees, everything is automated and it costs them about 3 cents to produce a plastic bottle... their only expenses are the subcontractors delivery service.
So like Coca Cola pay the Australian government around $2 for an Olympic sized swimming pool of fresh water, then they sell the bottled water for $3 per bottle. That may have changed now- the government has been selling a lot of our land and assets.
I use the bottles for so many other things tho. Same with plastic grocery bags.

So when you are free from obligations (or shackles depends on how you see it), then you are free to to be yourself. Still within the boundaries of public acceptance to a degree.
Guns Akimbo is the last thing I would want to watch, but I gave it a shot purely because of Daniel. It was funny and crazy and I loved it. Kudos.
Hey - my ultimate goal in life is to have enough money to be considered "eccentric" instead of just plain weird. Give the boys some respect!
Definite respect. They each took a chance to break free of their long-haul roles, opening up a vast array of opportunities. An actor who doesn't break free ends up in the unemployment line.

Concept of time is easy: “People assume that time is a strict progression from cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.”
The thing about science is that we know we don't know stuff. We don't necessarily know what we don't know, so we keep going until we find out. And the point behind science is that we never know everything. If we did, we'd stop.

5, Final Answer!
Until they have their eyes closed so they can't see you do it.
Maintain eye contact, occasionally nodding. Look thoughtfully concerned. absentmindedly take a bite and chew slowly, as if your not even aware you are doing it. When both the sad story and the corn dog are finished, have a moment of silence. Look around absentmindedly and mumble that you thought you had a corn dog. Go back to thoughtful concern and ask if they are ok. Would they like a corn dog?
There is no set amount of time. However, you are required to take a bite and then hold it up next to their mouth in case they want to comfort eat. LEARN SOME MANNERS!

Which is weird, because he was supposed to understand physics. He must have believed in some kind of magic “technology” that would make interstellar travel actually practical, despite all evidence showing that it’s not. Also, there’s just no reason other than insanity (ie religion) for any civilization to come at us as enemies or seeking to take our resources. There are far more raw materials available beyond Earth than on/in it, and if they’re looking for habitable planets, we are then assuming they’re biologically compatible with ours, and that Earth-like planets are rare (which we have no reason to assume).

Individuals Must Save So Corporations Can Waste...
Just a reminder that those corporations manufacture goods and provide services that we the people consume. Its supply and demand. Its easy to fail to take accountability for one's own actions when you think it won't make a difference, but when everyone in the world takes that view? It adds up. The only way change can be affected is if it is tackled on all sides. And that means world governments coming together to pledge to reduce emissions as has been done with the Paris accords, businesses adapting their ways of working to meet these reduction targets or face heavy fines, NGO's and civil society keeping pressure on gov's and businesses to stay the course, and we as individuals to make more informed consumer choices.
Corporations spend a LOT of money making sure that you make the choices they want you to make. In some cases this includes funding research into how to make their marketing campaigns more successful. The vast majority of consumers can never make informed choices because they simply do not have appropriate information available to them.
Load More Replies...This is also a good time to remember that soda companies started manufacturing billions of plastic bottles (instead of glass that used to be collected and reused) and then paid for campaigns explaining that individual littering was the problem.
Yes, we all need to be more conscious and responsible about our consumption; however, large, polluting corporations have historically pressed the blame and responsibility onto consumers. All the while continuing to capitalize on their own pollution.
News telling people that you shouldn't have a pet as it pollutes the environment while Saudi Aramco is just standing there like: egg-from-g...4dd2e8.png
Dutch government: "Listen y'all need to cut down on this CO2 pollution. And that why we'll tax your cars on fossil fuel to the max." Also Dutch Government: "Yeah, of course can you organise 3 days of F1- races next to one of our most precious nature reserves. We'll even build a road straight through the nature reserve for your convenience. Now we have 2 nature reserves and we also have compensated for the CO2 pollution that didn't happen during lock down. Win-win."
Corporations are 91% of all pollution. Ocean liners are like, really really bad too.
Journalists should be required to present the truth. Corporations are major polluters, but if we weren't buying, they wouldn't be selling. This mess is something each and every human being is responsible for.
How about the fact that here in Canada we make about 3% of emissions yet we have carbon taxes and all that s**t.

As a male myself, I just don't understand why women get so upset about this. It's been explained to me that "female" can apply to any animal, and so the term is interpreted as dehumanizing, but it just feels like people are trying a little too hard to be offended. There's real problems out there to address if you have this much energy.
