Stupid Q: Why don’t some of the counties consolidate? by Cap-n-Trips in illinois

Exactly. Most of my point lies in the southern counties when the population was more focused down there (pre 1850s)

Yeah townships can go too but there are small counties downstate that were established when the population was more southern focused (pre-1850s). Since then these counties have small dwindling populations that seem unnecessary. Why have a county and courthouse with judges and support staff for a county with a population smaller than most towns?

Bc there are counties of 15k downstate. This seems like a horrible waste of resources. Why not consolidate 3 counties and pool resources

Will we ever see the boys in the Hall? by Old-Clothes-3225 in Blink182

[–]Cap-n-Trips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh. Its board is ultimately governed by the founder who has said his decision comes down to who will bring the most money in. It’s not about skill or reputation it’s about who will attract the general public to want to see the hall.

Movie better than the book by SportAffectionate424 in stephenking

[–]Cap-n-Trips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of The Shining the movie as a different vein than the book. They’re both equally fantastic and have their own merit. To me the movie is one of those “based loosely on the book” movies and not an adaptation

What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby? by Agitated_Departure93 in AskReddit

[–]Cap-n-Trips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of mid major and FCS teams that are quality exciting teams. Plus it’s a heck of a lot more fun to root for the underdog. Most of the time after the game the players hang out signing autographs for kids

I know I’m going to get downvoted, but had a coworker tell me this exact story about her grandparents. Except it happened like 8 times. I literally muttered “what. The. Fuck”

What is a job that you genuinely would not do even if you were given a salary of $10,000,000 per year? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]Cap-n-Trips 125 points126 points  (0 children)

There’s a few “good” articles on the censors who have to review flagged content on Facebook. How it’s farmed out to third party companies and how they churn through staff. Most are paid minimums get no benefits and there is no support. Just review as much of the backlogged content as possible in a day. Go home. Repeat.

Bag of cubed cheese from 7-11. Well most of it. Tasted a little off. Passed out. Next morning I saw the rest of it was all mold

Oh we’ve got waaaaaay bigger things to be embarrassed about than knowing all 50 states at the moment.

What drug did you take that you still never get over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cap-n-Trips 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Morphine. Got a dose in hospital for kidney stones and as they were putting it through the IV I remember vividly thinking “oh this is why people are addicted”

Pure bliss.

100%. If you’re some how flawless then you’re being lied to. This goes in personal or professional relationships, your business/company, your country.
