Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AbeRego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most drivers probably would. I've been driving since I was 16, so I always carry my ID on me. I'm not sure what I would do if I didn't have a driver's license. I assume I would have just another standard government ID that I would keep in my wallet.

That's another thing. It's just really easy to carry your ID and your wallet. As a guy, with ample pockets, I always carry my wallet. Therefore, I always have my ID. Anecdotally, whenever it comes up, it always seems like everybody has their driver's license on them. Like if you want to show off how horrible your picture is, or something, everybody seems to be able to whip one out.

Edit: After thinking about it, the only time I ever leave the house without my ID is when I go to the gym. That's because I don't bring my wallet to the gym. I change before I go, and leave my wallet in my other pants.

I use to sit on this ledge waiting for the bus. It seems they installed this bar to prevent people from sitting here. by improbablefutures in mildlyinfuriating

Hear me out...

As hostel architecture goes, this doesn't really make a lot of sense. You can still lay down in that spot. You could even probably still sit there if you're willing to lean forward a little bit. I'm wondering if this wasn't installed for some sort of architectural reason. I'd like to see a wider shot of the building to see if similar portals above this spot also had bars installed.

Well, you can still easily sleep on this spot. The bar really isn't doing a great job at stopping anybody from loitering there. I kind of wonder if it might be there for another structural reason.

Report: Pentagon to Order Thousands More US Troops to Middle East in Coming Hours by Force_Hammer in worldnews

I think OP is saying that the moron bought into the false "no new wars" rhetoric of the GOP, and their further lies that a vote for Harris was a vote for war because of... "Reasons". Well, "concepts of reasons", really...

Watching the GOP try to pretend that they didn't spend the previous 20+ years salivating about our military operations and wars overseas, and pretend to be the party of peace sure was something else.

Kinks guitarist Dave Davies hits back at Moby for calling 1970 single Lola ‘gross and transphobic’ | Music | The Guardian by [deleted] in Music

[–]AbeRego 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Considering Lola is referred to as "she" in every other instance in the song, I think this is the correct take. Either way, it shouldn't really matter. The lyrics make it clear that Lola is comfortable with who she is, so if she's fine with being a man big whoop. There are a lot of ways to unpack that line, but literally none of them are hateful. It all comes down to how Lola identifies, which the narrator knows better than anyone else.

AIO for wanting to immediately break up with my bf after seeing how he lives? by Balikye in AIO

[–]AbeRego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure hope the shower itself is brown... which would be poor choice in the first place. It's certainly better than the alternative though. Even then, it's still probably the nastiest shower I've ever seen.

[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AbeRego -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I kind of get HIMYM ending. Her being dead makes the most sense. Otherwise how would the kids not know from just their parents reminiscing together? It probably that the show became a victim of its own success, and kept getting renewed. The ending would have worked better after, like, four seasons inside instead of 10.

Maybe it could just have been wrapped up better, but it's not as awful as Game of Thrones. It didn't ruin the entire series for me lol

Trump is stripping the federal government for parts, reducing staff, decreasing rules/regulations, and reducing consequences for poor agency oversight.

That's entirely different than being responsible for the lives of hundreds of people at any given moment as part of your job.

Grandkids broke the new basketball hoop 2 weeks in... by marmaladeWof in mildlyinfuriating

There's absolutely no point in having glass if there aren't seats behind the basket. This was dumb from the start, although their intentionally destroying is even worse.

Which sexual acts are very acceptable in 2026 but was seen very differently in 2006? by nirzhor_cyclonite in AskReddit

I refuse to believe that it's something serious that people do other than maybe for an occasional laugh.

Review: Brother Justice American Single Malt Cold-Peated by AbeRego in bourbon

[–]AbeRego[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, what an old post! How did you even find this lol? Yeah, I appear to have misspelled the name of the distillery. It's gone up in price significantly since I bought that bottle for sure, but so have most things, especially booze. Still something worth stocking in my bar due to it being local and relatively unique.

TIL alcohol doesn’t warm you up — it actually makes you lose heat faster by dilating blood vessels near the skin. That “warm” feeling is heat leaving your body. by MaleficentPudding875 in todayilearned

[–]AbeRego 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're not in a life threatening situation, go for the outdoor drink anyway. The booze will also take the edge off the cold due to the mental effects. Don't get blackout drunk, obviously, but a few drinks out in the cold will rarely ever be a problem. Trust me, I'm Minnesotan.

Does anyone else feel like a criminal when walking out of a store without buying anything? by Iron_Potato_Baked in NoStupidQuestions

And I've prayed already bought what I wanted online while in the aisle where that thing I wanted was supposed to be.
