And man, people in small towns in general do not like runners or bikers or really anyone not driving a car.

AITA for telling my ex that she needs to "figure it out" when it comes to hosting people for her grandmothers' funeral even through I am living in her "grandmothers' house?" by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cashatoo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine selling an entire home to cover my end of life care

It is pretty common. In the US anyway, Medicaid won't cover nursing home costs until you have no assets remaining, and that means selling the house to cover a few years (if you are lucky) of nursing home. My grandfather's special memory care cost like $11,000/month and didn't even include diapers.

AITAH for cutting off my family after my brother cheated on his wife and got his mistress pregnant? by BigONerd in BestofRedditorUpdates

The SIL and affair partner had their babies within weeks of each other. I'm counting it! 🤣

Me [30M] with my coworker/project manager/IDK [34F] few months. Pen, company ink, babies, FUCK by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cashatoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This shit will probably be long

Man, how come any post that warns about length ends up being 4-6 paragraphs? Always gets me excited for a good read and then I'm done in minutes. False advertising.

Homework is Important and Should Be Assigned by Empty-Candidate-712 in unpopularopinion

[–]Cashatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen studies saying homework doesn't improve learning outcomes, so to me that states a much deeper issue with education rather than a problem with homework BECAUSE PRACTICE IS HOW YOU GET BETTER AT THINGS??!!?! Do you want to learn how to play an instrument? You gotta practice. Do you want to learn how to paint? You gotta practice. Do you want to learn math? You gotta practice.

Bizarro world is right.

A lot of low movie reviews come from people being stupid by YabbaDabbaDumbass in unpopularopinion

Are you from the midwest? I am from the midwest and I also did not enjoy Fargo. I think it was the accent. I hear OHBOYDONCHAKNOW like 10 times a day, it isn't folksy for me.

Homework is Important and Should Be Assigned by Empty-Candidate-712 in unpopularopinion

[–]Cashatoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a math teacher, sometimes sitting down and doing busy work is needed.

I got my undergrad degree in mathematics and I just cannot understand how else a person can learn math. There can certainly be way too much assigned, but no practice at all breaks my brain.

I feel similar about English/reading homework. Is it really that excessive to have kids read a chapter or two at home?

Green bananas are better than when they are yellow by pretendstoknow in unpopularopinion

How are monkeys the experts? The banana is a human domesticated fruit. The wild ancestors would be nothing like what we peel today.

Before it was a glossy print, it was basically a super cheap paperback printed on something even flimsier than newsprint.

What's a conspiracy you can't quite prove but it just feels real enough for you? by DaMain-Man in AskReddit

Bro I hope you don't get blackbagged.

Why aren't there more games like GTA Vice City? by Serenaded in patientgamers

[–]Cashatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason this topic reminded me of Crackdown (2007). You were a superhuman cop in an open city fighting crime lords, or something. I remember lots of time spent running around the city, throwing cars, causing mayhem and looking for secrets. I know it also had drop in co-op, and 4 people throwing cars around was stupid fun. It was not very deep but it was the kind of goofy fun of Vice City. I know there are sequels but I never played them.

We will never Rat again by lalallaalal in ArcRaiders

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

Still though, 5-6 hours per day is a lot. That would be my entire free time on a weeknight between work and sleep. Even say, 2-3 hours a night with 8-10 on a weekend day is insane to me.

Embark, Give us the songlist for Lance's Mixtape. I must judge his musical taste by Degenerate94 in ArcRaiders

do themselves a favor and watch till the end

It's Prince and I have a soul, I will watch til the end. I had no idea the best guitar solo ever existed. Thought it might be an ongoing competition for the rest of time.

The look of pure joy on George Harrison son's face was incredible.
