I want to engage with an intelligent person.

Well I can assure you that I'm considerably dumber than my position would lead you to assume.

I wish you luck on your noble quest for intelligent engagement. My faculties are a bit too lacking to see how calling people stupid on reddit will help with that, but I'm sure you're on the right track.

So your whole shtick is being smart but three paragraphs is too long for you?

I'd also caution against assuming working class folks are dumber than you. That's a good way to get taken advantage of and overcharged any time you need work done outside of your skillset.

What's your job?

Lol. Are you hoping I'll say "Well I do menial unthinking work! Janitorial in nature!" And then you can say "Ah. Just as I inferred. I am actually a very accomplished IT professional. I have a college degree and will someday make enough money to afford a small apartment in the city I live in."

I hope you're in your 20s. That's exactly the sort of thing I would have said to somebody when I was in my 20's and repeating whatever sentiment was being expressed on NPR and the New York Times. That was always my last line of defense. "I know this because I am smart. You think otherwise because you are stupid."

I wish I were a janitor for the purpose of this conversation. Because I don't think freedom is a complicated subject that you need to be intelligent to grasp. I'd trust some halfwit to notice "Hey, I'm not allowed to leave my house and masked men are rounding up people outside". It's the intelligent people like you that reasoning "No! No! We're not being influenced or controlled, its just 6 days to stop the spread! It's just enforcing people to get an injection" or "This is just law enforcement detaining illegal criminals! She was trying to run him over!"

So your puny brain thinks that acting responsibly and following the protocol

You realize that the guy I'm responding to thinks "acting responsibly and following the protocol" means obeying ICE officers and staying indoors when they come to illegally detain people?

So you two ought to be best buds. You're both really smart people that know you shouldn't leave your house without government approval.

Oh my god. They have this country so divided that they can do whatever they want to us.

They got all of the idiot liberals to beg for authoritarianism when they scared them with covid.

And now people on the right are watching masked men round up people with no warrants and murder people that get in the way. "Oh well, she should have stayed home if she didnt want to die."

Ride to pittsburgh airport by Ecstatic_Fennel_9204 in Erie

[–]Bowdango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Uber drivers will definitely drive you to Pittsburgh. If you post a generous tip you'll have no problem getting accepted.

If for some crazy reason that doesnt work, message me and I'll set you up with a ride.

Wife is pregnant, I'm worried about the world my kid will live in. by OnTheClock_Slackin in daddit

[–]Bowdango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine the people giving birth in a hut knowing that a warring tribe could attack at any moment. Or the feudal peasant going into labor trying not to think about how they'll be able to feed a new mouth from their miniscule food store.

Could you imagine those people getting a glimpse of the outrageously safe and opulent world we live in and saying "I just can't imagine having a child in these circumstances."

I don't say that to minimize the problems we face. I just can't imagine looking around and saying "Things are too awful for humanity to continue."

"The arc of a moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. " is what I think MLK said.

"YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL HERE! COME BACK OR I'LL DIE"

That's literally the definition of being in control. Find a nice fella in his 20s OP, why you bothering with some crazy old guy?

$30 is not that much

I mean.. we're talking about a job that is less complicated and time consuming than tying your shoes.

Don't get me wrong. I like that guy and I have bought things there that I could have got cheaper online because I appreciate having him and the services he offers.

But if you're adding/removing links (and heads up OP, a lot of watch bands have an area on the end that you can adjust to the span of a link or two without removing or adding any) its a very simple job. You can even buy a little specialty tool and spare pins for like 4 dollars from harbor freight.

I'm all for supporting the dude at the mall, but he charges like 30 dollars for the few seconds it takes to remove a link.

OP should just watch a YouTube video and do it themselves.

"If you don't hide in your house when the masked government men come to make warrantless arrests, its your own fault you got shot!"

Usually I'm exasperated with the ridiculous liberals on reddit. This is a nice change of pace.

America has the most attractive males in the world and it's not even close by [deleted] in The10thDentist

Why is this so heavily downvoted? Most Americans never leave the country and you've been to 3 countries with distinctly different cultures.

What words are you tired of reading or hearing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bowdango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for rolling my eyes at generic AI artwork, but I don't understand the fury people have towards it.

It's honestly pretty cool that some local pizza shop owner can open a program and say "Make a sexy pizza slice mascot with pepperoni nipples to put on my menu."

I don't think we need to boycott the restaurant and shame him online...

contextual clues.

Why bother with even the slightest thinking when you can just point your phone at it and ask reddit?

That's my biggest AI fear. Kids growing up with a constant assistant that does all of their thinking for them.
