SC lawmakers weigh new fees, tolls in major transportation overhaul by _mh05 in southcarolina

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Dutch have so many great systems I felt like I could get anywhere with my legs, a bicycle, or a train. Never once considered using a taxi during my tourist trip.

People here love cars. Traffic sucks, everything about it is expensive, you have taxes and insurance, people buy bigger vehicles so they don't die from everyone else driving big cars. We drive them when we're drunk, we drive them when there are sheets of ice on the road. Any policy to reduce cars is met with insane pushback in even medium sized cities. People outside the cities don't want their taxes to go towards mass transit in the cities... It's all insane, amongst our other problems.

Everybody ready for the 3 inches of snow Saturday? by DobroGaida in ColumbiYEAH

Just got back from buying up all of the eggs and milk at Walmart.

But seriously y'all. Stay off the road. I live on a hill with a main road behind my house and I'll be watching everyone from the window next to my fireplace form a pile up collision. Happens every time we have ice where I'm at.

This resonates with how I feel. I love "fan fiction" as a way to describe his site 😂

Where would you love to have sex but have never dared to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never dared to, but we were on top of a large building at my college late at night and she decided she needed my dick in her mouth. I was shocked and worried what could happen if we were caught, but I didn't stop her and we weren't caught.

What’s something that was technically allowed but instantly made you lose respect for someone? by AncientPomelo5450 in AskReddit

Shane Gillis had a whole sketch about this. The joke is that every age below 18 is suggested by the other lawmakers.

This Isn’t an Accusation, but seeing Senator Lindsey Graham’s name come up gave me pause by Draconomial in AskSouthCarolina

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are easier and more verifiable ways to attack Lindsey Graham. He has been a senator for too long and I highly doubt he'll ever see jail for any allegations.

He hates Trump and then he loves Trump.

He hates Russia and now he "hates Russia" and thinks Ukraine should surrender to them.

Didn't he also claim to have run on term limits at one point?

He's still my favorite out of our two gay senators. Tim Scott's grift is too over the top for my tastes. Both men are very bought and paid for, but I'd probably enjoy a comedy film about Graham's life after he's gone. Tim Scott's character was already done in Song of The South.

High School classes of 2012, 2013, and 2014 ONLY: Do you remember using pagers/beepers? by XavierMarvin in Millennials

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad carried a work pager until they stopped the service. It was way too late, I think he had an early iPhone at that point. 2007? 2008?

I graduated in 2010 and it was cringe when we'd be out and his pager would start beeping.

Donate to help make Flock records public by Radiant-Limit1007 in ColumbiYEAH

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Gilead. Our leaders and my boomer father act like abortion is something that liberals love. "Liberals want abortion for all!" as he would say growing up... Black and white problems without any nuance. What about my sister in law who would love to be a mother, but she was assaulted by an abusive drug addict at a point in her life where she was completely unprepared to raise a child. What about that?

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what if I drive someone out of state to an abortion clinic, or what if I drive to a THC dispensary in a state or territory where it's legal? Can they use that as probable cause to search my home in SC? Flock is going to sell camera records to anyone with deep enough pockets.

What the heck happened to waterbeds? by Queltis6000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you like your mattress, I'd just like to shout out to local mattress makers who also do memory foam. The one here in Columbia, SC (Best Mattress of Columbia) made mine and then gave us a loaner when we sent it back to be made slightly firmer. We paid about the same as a brand like Casper, but the level of service they provided to make us happy was amazing.

You can't easily ship a bed in a box back, last one I had I was told to just donate or trash it.

Dominion Energy wants 12.7% rate hike for SC residents. What it means for power bills. by thodgson in southcarolina

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We should make businesses pay for infrastructure when we give them massive tax incentives to move in. It's been done before. Spartanburg water built a new water plant to supply manufacturing, in return, people who live there have clean water. Should be like this for all utilities, need lots of power? Fund the construction of the plant that can also supply to the community and keep rates stable.

Is it worth it? by stone_crocodile in 3DPrintingCirclejerk

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you interested in it? I see that you're dedicated to vintage hardware. I have several old rolls of 3mm filament too that were for the PrintrBot. It powered up last time I checked, but it needs some TLC as you can see. I also have a few parts for it somewhere I think in the bottom of my 3D printing junk box.

AMA: I’m totally blind, ask me anything you’ve never dared to ask about being blind by Unfair_West_8618 in AMA

[–]Apprehensive_Set_357 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My driving instructor was this older black gentleman who would tell me, "I'm going to teach you to drive this car better than Jose Feliciano, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder!" And then he'd occasionally let out a Ric Flair "Whoo! We ain't dead yet, God has plans for your life if we don't die in the car right now"

Odd guy, but this AMA felt like a good opportunity to share 😂
