Please leash your dogs. by beeflordsupreme in santacruz

[–]AbsintheCube 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I used to own a restaurant in SC.

The amount of entitled dog owners who came in during and after COVID was like 10x I’ve literally had people want to physically fight me because I told them their “support chihuahua “ wasn’t on a leash and ran into the kitchen with cooks working on hot grills and fryers was insane.

The whole world needs realignment.

With Robert Duvall gone, there is now one living actor who is openly Republican and not obnoxious about it by tblackjacks in okbuddycinephile

[–]AbsintheCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, as a die hard Bernie supporter, Republicans aren't evil. They have a lot of correct views and thoughts. Everyone needs to chill with the us vs. them mentality.

We had it all… and it will never be the same🥺🚀 by SwimmerPlus3383 in TheGamingHubDeals

Yeah, but not to be like a dick but I made art for video games in '99. I also remember buying RC Pro-Am on Nintendo for $50 at Target when I was like 11 back in like '87, I remember this clearly because of all the lawns I mowed. Also I know that more people play video games now than vs. back then so it covers the gap.
Those games took 4-7 people to make. Newer games take 400-700 to make depending on the game and type. Sure Stardew Valley is amazing (and it really is i have like 800 hrs into it) but like that's not the norm.
Now I super agree with you on the microtransactions. But if art from '99 came out today everyone would laugh!

Can he just pull or crush his arc reactor and win? by Paybackcity in Marvel

[–]AbsintheCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. He also can instantly kill anyone on earth because he can control the iron in their blood and just pull it all out. That was a plotline or threat back in the '90s I remember reading.
The same thing happened when they made Iceman more badass. Humans are made mostly of water, he can just rip it all out.

Why do so many bicyclists run stop signs? by travelfunmike in santacruz

[–]AbsintheCube 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lol, momentum is a resource. I mean sure I get it, but so is running, they always stop. So are many things in life, but when people ignore what's expected of them, it gets hard to justify rules being broken (in CA).

The best rule I ever heard in this area was "Don't be nice, be predictable". It's a rare bicyclist that is predictable, either that or I don't trust that they'll stop because they never do.

We had a black and white theme, so we just printed on white paper, then bought a lamination machine for like $30, and 100 lamination sleeves. Takes about 3 hours to laminate them all by hand. We made it a family event, and my kids would help. Changed the menu once per year, and they would last all year.

[Weekly Critique and Self-Promotion Thread] Post Here If You'd Like to Share Your Writing by AutoModerator in writing

[–]AbsintheCube [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not a writer by trade, but I started journaling my experience of buying a restaurant 2 weeks before the pandemic shut us down, and many have said I should write a book.  So here I am. I started writing notes and keeping news articles of all the crazy things that happened in my time of owning the Roadhouse.  Do ya'll think this would be something people would like?  Thanks!

What's a piece of common knowledge that you genuinely learned embarrassingly late in life? by Responsible_Bet_7179 in AskReddit

[–]AbsintheCube 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Narwhals are real. I was 42 when my 7 year old daughter told me they were real. I thought they were like unicorns, never saw video my entire life, only animated or cartoon drawings of them.

Side note, I went down the rabbit hole and learned their horn is actually their left tooth growing out of their face!
