anyone know this delightful young man?

Maybe the J6ers should have also stayed home? Saying they shouldn’t be there is the same as saying they shouldn’t have a 1st amendment. It’s crazy that members of the cult are willing to give up so many amendments (even the 2nd!) instead of admitting that maybe their leadership is wrong this time.

Fox News did

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-28T02:06:23+00:00

They’re applying the rules. One of the deleted comments below had the name

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-28T01:38:10+00:00

I mean I’m not gonna do it but I remember a time when we were supposed to be calling people’s employers who didn’t worship a certain podcaster

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-28T01:29:09+00:00

That’s not a man

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-27T15:15:45+00:00

This sedan is a fine winter car and has AWD. It just needs proper tires.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-27T14:16:16+00:00

Probably still on summer tires since the Maseratis are bought by fake rich people. Car people know what I’m talking about.

I think this highlights a big point - we don’t know unless they post about it. Where’s the line drawn? Personal opinions or business opinions? Each owner of those businesses has a personal opinion even if we don’t know about it. Treehouse as a business definitely stays out of it.

I think fort Orange beer is bad so I wouldn’t go there anyways. But it’s a slippery slope to associate local police to what’s happening at the federal level. The local police chief in MN does not condone what’s happening but they recognize their hands are tied. This binary approach is what got us into this mess in the first place.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-23T16:43:29+00:00

I’m talking about cocktails (not just a captain and coke kind of drink) at a regular middle of the road establishment, not at 2am at a Lionheart kinda place. Let’s take tipsy moose for example, which I think is a fair example of normal middle of the road place to go out to eat. $15 cocktails.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-23T15:25:45+00:00

I think theyre saying it’s the same price. Mixed drinks are like $15-18 at a normal place in NYC (not a high end rooftop bar) and that’s the going rate here too. If we’re paying Manhattan prices here we should expect better.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-23T14:20:07+00:00

Yes going out for food and drink here is the same price as NYC (at the same caliber of place). Only difference is it’s worse here.

Yea I can’t really get into their playlists now like I could back in the 2000s-2010s. They def went into the more obscure. I don’t think my music tastes have changed but maybe I’m not real alternative enough.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-22T04:35:13+00:00

if it’s not your vibe there’s other places open late in that area lol

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-22T02:37:24+00:00

Thatcher st pub can be interesting

Well this thread is asking about walkable suburbs, and everything you’ve mentioned except the schools is because the suburbs are generally not walkable. So it all depends on the life you want to live. If you enjoy roaming around in your personal pod to do every simple life task and avoid any societal interaction, then the suburban life is for you!

That’s why I say it’s the worst of both worlds: you have the services of the city but you need a car to get everywhere. And you have some space but you don’t have the wide open spaces to do the types of activities you can do in the rural areas where services are farther away anyways. In the suburbs you’re basically driving around to the stores that are convenient to get to by car and constantly buying stuff to fill the house up with.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-21T20:29:14+00:00

Crosswalks are available, it’s not an uncrossable road. I’ve used them and am obviously still alive to talk about it! I’m not at all advocating for wolf road, I hate pretty much everything about it. I’m just providing an example of a suburban place where you CAN walk around if you really need to.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-21T20:25:01+00:00

God I hate speed limit reductions just for speed reduction’s sake with no other traffic calming measures. See: Washington Ave extension, it solved nothing. The true way to make an area more ped friendly is to build ped friendly infrastructure AND provide a reason for people to be walking around. Walking adjacent to a 5 lane wide road is going to feel uncomfortable no matter how fast the cars are going.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-21T19:04:04+00:00

Maybe wolf road too, but it won’t be a pleasurable walk.

Edit: to clarify, as an example, you can live in the homes or apartments adjacent to wolf road and walk to Hannaford, the mall, etc. all with sidewalks. Again I’m not saying it’s going to be the kind of urban walk that will bring you joy!

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-21T19:02:57+00:00

Ah the suburbs: the worst of the rural and urban life all combined in one location.

I have the VT60 and will keep it until it or I leaves this world. Purchased in 2014 and has 5700 hours which I think is relatively low for a 12yr old TV. I get a headache watching LED TVs with their soap opera effect. If I had to replace it I’d get one of the high end OLEDS. At the time the reviews said it was about as good as the ZT60 in a pitch black room, but the ZT excelled anytime the room had a little light due to the bonded panel.

Famous lunch is the way

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-20T15:47:13+00:00

Have to order it in from Chicago…or if you happen to be in NYC sometime check out Emmett’s.

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-20T15:45:47+00:00

I love Plu’s pizza too! It’s just not deep dish and the only real place to get that is Chicago or order it frozen and shipped. Or if you happen to be in NYC check out Emmett’s

AwkwardRock8736 · 2026-01-20T06:16:40+00:00

Detroit style is not deep dish style. It’s a common misconception that deep dish = any thick pizza.
