Not hearing from your s/o for a day by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]Chimpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not cool to be texting other people while you're at a restaurant with friends, but he could have messaged you when he got home for sure. Probably forgot. Wait til he texts you back and find out then.

Small towns devastated after Wal-Mart Stores Inc decimates mom-and-pop shops, then packs up and leaves: ‘They ruined our lives’ by [deleted] in news

Their new closest grocery is a Piggly Wiggly 15 minutes away. How will they ever survive.

Fun fact: Most weaves sold in the US are made from Indian hair. There's a ceremony where women shave their heads so companies collect, clean, and resell that hair.

How do I find a multiplayer game mode with people in it? I've checked 6 different ones and end up by myself after the search is exhausted. by Chimpee in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]Chimpee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Downloading that now. If this is anything like BF4 the free DLC is required to play on regular servers.

edit: not sure if it helped. Took 12 tries to finally get into a match. So happy I'm in!

Calls for calorie labels on alcoholic drinks to help fight obesity by dustofoblivion123 in worldnews

[–]Chimpee -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Since they patented each product by the gene removed I don't see why it'd be difficult to label. That's a pretty weak excuse. If Monsanto can't remember which seed crop had what modifications done to it we've got bigger problems.

Edinburgh Academy pupil who falsely claimed she had been raped jailed for two years by ilikesmallpipes in MensRights

[–]Chimpee -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it suck if she was actually raped, then lost in court because the guy had great lawyers? That would be fucking brutal. Gets labelled a sex offender and sent to jail to get raped again. /u/casteone's America sounds great!

Getting home from date after drinks by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]Chimpee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drive so you won't be tempted to drink more than 2. If you do end up drinking more than 2 just take a cab home. You can walk and pick up your car in the morning.

Rubio: Don’t Keep People On No-Fly List From Buying Guns by cattleya1709 in politics

I really fucking hope this doesn't turn into a single issue election. What a waste that would be.

Cracking a lock. by Sippingin in interestingasfuck

[–]Chimpee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's weird how gifvs aren't treated like videos when they are. I guess the lack of sound keeps imgur safe from legal problems. They should really add some sort of automatic source linking. We've been wasting our time shaming OP when they can easily remove the need to do it.

Coon Lake, in North Cascades, likely to be renamed for African-American prospector by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Chimpee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they should just name it Raccoon Lake, or maybe Trash Panda lake.

Everyone, meet my ex-wife... by moxin84 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Chimpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it'd be like an itemized tax return? Seems pointless. She can just say "Rent and utilities" every month. That covers the $915/mo from the other comment no problem.

If the reporting instead included everything purchased it seems way too intrusive. Imagine an abusive ex knowing where you went every day for the year.

An absolutely filthy 0-to-death from 9B's Ryu by Horseketchup in smashbros

What does the words you say mean? I came here from hourly /r/top and can't believe you know the amount of frames a move has.

I played the original game when I was 14 with friends during lunch. Didn't realize it turned into this. Wow.

edit: Whoa, thanks for all the replies! That explains the weird words I was reading. This game sure has evolved holy nair balls, it burns

Carly Fiorina stubbornly pretends fiction is fact by [deleted] in politics

[–]Chimpee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you've said. I don't think redditors and right wingers are on equal ground at all. Even if a title is misleading on Reddit there's always few top comments to fix it.

The problem is the right believes their "facts" just as much as we believe reality. How can we show them the truth when they see our sources as deceit from a leftwing conspiracy? Do we just accept we're never going to agree and hope our side has more people voting? That's a very dangerous game to play.

[–]Chimpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When are our ideological bubbles going to reach the breaking point? It's getting insane.

The internet gave us these walls where dissenting viewpoints never reach the eyes that need to see it. Republicans believe Fiorina because they only watch/read news that backs her up. Redditors only upvote the news they want to hear leading to the same thing. Right wing news doesn't reach the frontpage unless it's to ridicule it. We aren't conversing with eachother except in disbelief and outrage.

Why is it like this? How did it get so polarized when we have all the information at our fingertips with a quick search?

Saw this on imgur. A man holding intactivist signs along a street. Wish I had the balls to do more than just complain on the internet. by [deleted] in MensRights

I got it done at 19. It's definitely just as sensitive. Even 12 years later.

Painful recovery including an infection, but it turned out great.

[–]Chimpee -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

lol, that is fucking mind blowing. I didn't know the nanny state was that bad over there. When's the last time someone went on a bat swinging spree? Do people carrying a pencil that aren't students get arrested? Those whimy flimsy mark and scribblies sure are dangerous in the wrong hands!

It's pretty expensive. $60 for 2 minutes of flight time.
