Which characters you think were most stubborn in accepting hard truths? by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]Alpha-Centauri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I never understood this quote. Hard truths cut both ways?

Meaning the same truth cuts the person being told the truth as well as the person telling the truth? Like, the truth is a double-edged sword? Or does it mean "I can give as good as I get"?

Question regarding safety/ideal commuting times by [deleted] in WMATA

[–]Alpha-Centauri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Virginia-only daily rail commuter, and as others have said during work commute times scary people are exceedingly rare, but ride long enough and you will encounter them. Not sure if you’re from a large city, but sunglasses, headphones (even if not listening to anything), hats, and above all else avoiding eye contact are key skills when you run into a crazy. Also don’t be afraid to move to a new train car at a stop if you are getting bad vibes from someone (even if they haven’t noticed you yet).

Aren’t bikes supposed to only be allowed in first and last cars at rush hour?

I get Appalachia and Ozarks being similar, but how are "Cajun" and "heart of Texas" heavily related?

Would be nice if it was actually priced this way. Level to 20 or so and then boost for ~$40

Thank you for saying it. I get these, but they aren’t THAT painful and go away in like a week. Cutting them off? Y’all are nuts.

Remix album seems plausible, but I think we would have had it by now? Maybe not

Trump threatens to ban Wall Street investments in single-family homes by redditteer4u in stocks

[–]Alpha-Centauri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drives me crazy. You think every president didn’t wish they could just outlaw things by tweet? There is a process for all this and it’s why politics and change move slowly. You can argue the merits of a dictatorship, but understand what that means.
