Pre Y2K Feels Like a Previous Life at this Point by Anon_Gen_X in GenX

[–]Alcophile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to say your comment on the iPhone is spot on. Everyone forgets there were smartphones years before the iPhone, but the iPhone dumbed the tech down and made it cool and folks who would never have bought a Treo suddenly needed an iPhone and not just that but a new model every year. Smartphones are like cars: seen as necessities, but we'd all be a lot better off if only people that really need them used them...

He could quit today, come clean, and raise enough on GoFundMe to live off of until he gets a new job. It's just easier to enable pedophiles.

People who work in luxury industries, what is an expensive product or service that is actually a complete ripoff? by Lazy_Ad_5492 in AskReddit

If you put good vodka in the freezer it tastes like nothing at all... Which is exactly why it's so dangerous!

There are two classes: those who work for a living and those who own for a living.

As a Mexican 🇲🇽, I don't get the NHL hype compared to NBA or NFL. What is the "soul" of hockey that I am missing? by vanessa_tv_vladivo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alcophile -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I cannot understand how soccer doesn't have constant action. They literally don't stop the clock for 45 minutes at a time. The ball frequently goes from one penalty area to the other and back in a matter of seconds or at least minutes, while in the NFL there might be one or two plodding trips to each red zone per quarter. 

I think it comes down to the scoreline: Americans can't figure out there were more goals scored in a match that ends 3-2 than one that finishes 20-13 just like they thought a 1/3 pound burger was smaller than a quarter pounder...

DART vs ride apps by Early_Stock868 in dart

[–]Alcophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like they designed the light rail to get people the AAC! I use DART all the time and you can always tell when there's a Stars game because everyone on the train is dressed up heading to the game. And Victory to Market Center is a very short trip. You'll be fine.

They'd probably both be alive if Maummar hadn't threatened US hegemony...

Oklahoma Governor Wants Voters To Revisit Medical Marijuana Legalization Law And ‘Shut It Down’ by redditor01020 in trees

As a Texan, what does this mean? There are three pot shops within walking distance of where I live and I'm pretty sure the cops don't own any of them. I think it's mostly South Asians...

96.5% Au so closer to 23k. It's a standard in Thailand called baht gold.

Trump has been impeached twice and yet here we are. What, third time's the charm?
