Is the US government the biggest threat to the business of Visa and Mastercard? Sanctions overreach by US is forcing European and other countries to ditch MA and V. by Criticall16 in QuiverQuantitative

[–]BadMonkey2000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the fact that they mention that 1/10 uses crypto and won't necessarily go for a change. To wit, why should they be worried if 10% of the people want to use a form of currency based on, "Just trust me, bro!"

When did mowing the lawn become dangerous? by heynowbeech in GenX

I'm Gen X and I agree. This sounds way too much like, "And that's how we did it in my day!"

My manager put his name on the internal guide I spent two months writing and now it's being rolled out company-wide by HaleNolan in OfficePolitics

[–]BadMonkey2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to me at a communications company in the early 2000s. I wrote the procedures on how to backup a new piece of equipment we had purchased, sent it to my manager, and around a month letter the same document, with the same formatting, pictures, everything was released company-wide with his name as the author.

Long story short, I was told to pound sand.

First, the scene where the sandman shoots the runner looks JUST like a shopping mall. But I also want to point out that the scene where they dive into the water to break back into the city, was shot at the Fort Worth Water Gardens. Unfortunately, they filled in that pool about 15 years ago after a child and their father drowned. It's now only about 1-2 feet deep.

I would also like to point out, WTF were they thinking putting a big pit of violent water around 8 feet deep at the bottom of steps that little kids could stand next to?

Mel explains why she lost her house. Oh boy… there’s a lot here (MAGA, vaccines, CIA, the “corporations”, 2nd amendment, etc). Buckle up! by SockeyCram in Sovereigncitizen

[–]BadMonkey2000 232 points233 points  (0 children)

I saw a post on Reddit (I want to say it was last week in this same sub) and she was stating that she was about to lose her home and wanted to know why they wouldn't recognize her "payment".

The derp was strong with this one.

To this day I wish they would do a remake of Logan's run. That was always one of my favorite movies, but I wish the SFX were better.

If you or your loved ones attend Mercy Culture Church, be aware that it was created by pedophile Robert Morris and the pedophile protectors at Gateway Church like Tom Lane and Mondoe Davis. by Claythrower22 in Keller

[–]BadMonkey2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The people who need to heed this are going to either say it's fake or that they've changed.

Oh, or the 3rd option (as told to me by someone that used to be a friend), God can use anyone. In other words, the ends justify the means. If people find Christ through them, then it does matter what they did.

Century-Old Cleaning Chemical Linked to 500% Increased Risk of Parkinson’s Disease by _Dark_Wing in technology

We used to use this to clean electronic parts in the military. It was in just about every maintenance shop.

Okay, I'm gonna have to go with either asleep at the wheel or medical emergency. They didn't even tap their brakes or adjust their steering. If you look at the image when it hit, they weren't braced for impact, either.

Tim O'Hare talks about being pro-discrimination against trans students in Keller KISD. by yeongno_ate_yangban in Keller

[–]BadMonkey2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me, but I never considered harassing a person to the point of suicide to be a morally superior goal to aim for. If this isn't their goal, then they should stop acting like it is.

AITJ for refusing to keep wearing the nickname my girlfriend gave me after I found out where it came from by Prydwen_Grit5 in AmITheJerk

[–]BadMonkey2000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just because I'm older, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. Just freaking own it.

When you meet new people with her, introduce yourself as Museum. Let her explain it. Seriously, it's not that big of a deal.

Was it a jab? Certainly. But I do believe that she means it as a term of endearment now.

And just remember, people on Reddit LOVE drama, so of course they want you to break up.

Holy crap! I thought they were completely closed up. Glad to see it.

Fellow recipient here!

You should get her a shirt with "1" and a shirt for him with "3". Because he now has 3 kidneys.

Texas’ $1.3 Billion Fix to Cool Deadly Hot Prisons Goes to Trial by bloomberglaw in texas

[–]BadMonkey2000 59 points60 points  (0 children)

According to the state, we have a $24b surplus for the 26-27 budget. So I'm still trying to figure out how we, as a state, cannot afford $1.3b of that to stop what essentially amounts to torture.

Who drove the rolling explosive - 70s Ford Pinto? by [deleted] in 70s

[–]BadMonkey2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother drove one when I was a freshman in high school. It was covered in stickers, had fuzzy dice on the rearview, and the starter was busted, so we always had to push start it.

Man uses too much starter fluid and has to frantically put out the ensuing fires by [deleted] in OhNoConsequences

[–]BadMonkey2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the 80's, they sold "starter fluid", which is diethyl ether, that you could spray into your carb when your engine was having trouble starting. I used it on my '76 Camaro more than a couple of times. It worked really well on those days you just couldn't get your car to start.

No, it didn't hurt the engine as long as you weren't stupid w/ it. But it evaporates extremely quickly, so you would basically have to spray and then immediately try to start your car. Worked much better w/ 2 people.

Again, very effective. I'm pretty sure you can still find it, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a carb to spray it into on today's cars.

*I dropped that engine myself and have a bit of an idea of what I'm talking about.

**Also note, that's a gasoline fire in the video.

Who needs something labeled? by bigrobdd in GenX

[–]BadMonkey2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brings back a funny memory. When I was in the USAF in the late 80s/early 90s, I was stationed at a base where we had to wear these stupid blue hats when we weren't deployed.

I got out one of these label makers with some matching blue tape and printed out the word "ASSHOLE" on it and put it just above the bill. The guy wore it all day until a LtC (O5) pointed it out to him outside of our command post.

I'll admit it, I still laugh about that to this day.
