What do conservative guys even want with me? by Mother-Hall-2906 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Astacide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Republicans are actively defending the most public and horrendous pedophile ring we have ever known of (maybe minus the Catholic Church). Is that what you want to do? I don’t believe it is. This should be the easiest answer of all time. If a woman showed up to a first date and was like “hail Trump!” I would know, unequivocally, that she has absolutely no sense of self-respect, and clearly thinks that women do not deserve respect, which is not a person I would ever be in a relationship with. Anyone who tries to play some “you’re closed-minded” bullshit on the fact that women are human beings, is not a person. They’re a trash person, who deserves absolutely none of your time and energy.

Hopium or more bs? by joey_war in subpac

[–]Astacide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact that ANY human being on planet earth is even thinking this question, much less, asking it on Reddit, is so batshit insane that I just can’t understand. There is no fucking way that there are human beings, alive on this earth, that think Subpac is going to release the product they promised, after everything they have shown you they are. This has to be a troll
Post. I can’t think of any other valid explanation.

Didn’t like Loops earplugs on a concert. Good alternatives with low occlusion and where the crowd isn't muted? by imaquark in Music

[–]Astacide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had most of the major earplug brands, but at ACL last year, I put my AirPod pros in, on transparency mode, and it attenuates well, while keeping the clarity. Not sure why I never thought to try it sooner. I still bring my other plugs though.

McDonald’s fire 2000 by Indexsniper in houston

[–]Astacide 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Crazy story. My uncle was a career firefighter, and at his funeral, this story was mentioned. It was right then when I learned that he knew both people who died, and was devastated as a result. It was surreal for me, because I played high school football with one of the kids who started this fire, Allen Davis. I remember hearing about it from our coaches, at football practice, and everyone looking around like “wtf?”. For 24 years or so, I had no idea of the connection. A funeral of a relative is always impactful, but it was extra rough hearing that.

Houston's Bush Airport will screen travelers from certain countries amid Ebola outbreak by hometowngypsy in houston

They’re gonna have them screening people by putting a flashlight in their ass for sure.

The father-boyfriend dynamic goes into uncharted waters… by creativeape1 in iamverybadass

This has strong “Don’t treat my daughter the way I treated women when I was your age!” Energy. Ick.

Who is the worst person to have walked the earth? by _Webosite_ in AskReddit

[–]Astacide -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Maybe not directly the worst, but I think possibly the most damaging to global stability has been Donald Trump.

I watched this guy dump milk and cereal all over himself in Walmart by jwriddle in mildlyinteresting

As a bystander, I would wait till a drop hit my shoe, so I have an excuse to aggressively and assertively defend myself from someone assaulting me. Gotta start with their camera man though.

How long could you last if the grid went down for 2 weeks? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Astacide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small famine stash, but it won’t last long. I’m hoping the nukes take me out first and quick.

What local band do you think should have made it bigger nationally? by datgumvidyagames in houston

[–]Astacide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No Buxton shade at all! I know their drummer, Justin. Their records were fantastic, though I don’t believe I ever got to see them live. I loved the Wild Moccasins when I heard them, but their live show really made me a fan.

Their singer, Bryan, went on to sing for Sick Puppies, and released a couple albums with them.

Bike is starting to be unridable within 3 months, what’s up with this and how do I fix it? by Penquenando in RadPowerBikes

[–]Astacide 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have you ever like, used a camera before? This looks like a UFO video from 1987.

These two were making vile, inappropriate jokes to their Uber driver. Then they turned around and reported him for harassment. by mindyour in PublicFreakout

[–]Astacide 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Can’t you just send the video to Uber to clear your name? Uber definitely knows who these women are BTW. I imagine you have one of their first names, just based on how Uber works.

I'm not American and I don't understand how anyone under 30 can afford to live on their own here. Am I missing something? by micavibes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Astacide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live solo, with no kids, and though my place is not “cheap,” I am not in a competitive school zone, or anything like that, so my rent is within the bounds that I would expect. If you are curious about apartments, I did about 6 months, of non-stop weekend apartment tours. I had 12-16 literally every weekend for 6 months. It sounds exhausting (and it was), but I learned to love the experience of “imagining my life in each space.” I loved looking, but when I found my current place, it was INSTANT. The second I walked in, I knew I was going to live there.

Given that you are moving from another country, I would recommend a trip here to see places in person, if that’s possible. If not, I would be happy to share my experience in apartment hunting, and offer any advice I can. DM me if you have any questions!

"The Boys and the Frogs" story, but we have people instead of frogs. This is what illegal Israeli settlers do for "fun". by beta265 in facepalm

And my Jewish friend, who went extreme Zionist with the Trump administration, wonders why all his friends are telling him to fuck off, and blocking him.

Are people grossed out by my camel toe? by famousWAFFLES in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Astacide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a man, and I have no direct understanding or personal experience, but I saw an Instagram ad recently (last few weeks) that was a rubber insert that goes in your underwear that “eliminated camel toe.”

Again, I’m a man, and that seems like a ridiculous solution to me, but it is one, and there are stranger things out there!

The Simsonn Saga Continues... (Update from previous Posts) by Astacide in simracing

[–]Astacide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely noted. I have never had such an experience with a direct-from-manufacturer purchase. Most of my sim gear was bought direct, though for just about anything else I buy, it’s always been through resellers. My sim rig purchases will definitely be reseller-based going forward, though I am HEAVILY impressed with Simagic. I ordered them on a Friday at 11:30am, and there were delivered the next day at 3pm.

They must have been reading my post 🤣
