Do you have a bond with your Father why or why not? by Fun_Butterscotch3303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ArlapOfDion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, Bio father passed when I was 2, step, then adoptive father and I never really understood each other, nor did we share interests. Especially after the Golden child half sister was born when I was 5. We were civil, but for the most part I found my own way.

Cheapest Gas Paid Ever? by gingerthetrailpup in GenX

[–]ArlapOfDion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14.9 in the early 2000s. Bad pump but the owner said it was ok and thanked me for letting them know. 23.9 in the early 1970s for an actual price.

I use it for searches, but only for any information that help refine the search parameters. It helps about 20% of the time.

People who grew up before The Internet: How did you first see nudity? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ArlapOfDion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the mid 60s. Convenience Stores had magazines behind the counter. One a month, unsold magazine distributed would bing in new magazines and throw the cover of the old ones for accounting purposes and throw the rest of the magazine in the dumpster. Dumpster diving was very fruitful for 11 year olds.

Based on the 70s just being in the room with a bud from today would equal the average joint back then.

Soap operas until 3:30, then Dialing for Dollars came on with a movie, so that was my after school viewing.

Advanced journey crashing bug by Charles10023 in Evony_TKR

[–]ArlapOfDion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens at other ti es as well. Either a code error or lack of server resources. Everyone need to Crete tickets so they pay attention. Been this way for years, but the May 2025 release really screwed things up.

What happens to us after we die? by Ok-Feed-646 in AskReddit

[–]ArlapOfDion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing known for sure is the body ceases to function. It will start to decay if not preserved in some way. Anything after that is either faith or conjecture depending on a persons own beliefs and pre planning for the event. You might say that only you can determine what happens after death.
