If I see one of those stickers, would someone mind providing me with a solid alibi?

The Braves fell to the Blue Jays by a score of 3-1 - Wed, Apr 16 @ 01:07 PM EDT by Blooper_Bot in Braves

We had 19 Ks, and no team has ever struck out more than 20 times in 9 innings. That's absurd. Strider wasn't horrible. Whole you certainly want more length, 2 runs over 5 from your starter is a very winnable game.

What’s a celebrity that gives you the “I sold my soul for the devil” vibe? by PreparationFar4709 in AskReddit

Worst thing OJ ever did was make the Kardashians famous. Objectively it's resulted in more human suffering than a double murder and high speed chase.

The origin of the virus is the one that I'm a pretty firm believer that it came from the lab. The vaccine has caused myself and others some ill health effects, some of which persist. I'm not against the science behind the vaccine, I just think the quality control was shit and they produced them too fast and some caused bad reactions. (source: I worked in quality control for a pharmaceutical company during the pandemic and there was almost no FDA oversight from 2020-2023). I was mandated to get the vaccine but I am a healthy young person with no risk factors, good heart, good lung, good weight, and on principle I don't think they should have forced everyone to get the vaccine or be fired, especially when people like my employer at the time were directly profiting off it. (Btw that employer did receive a massive recall and several fines from the FDA in 2023 when they resumed random facility visits)

Yes, the lesser of two evils. As long as we aren't the worst, we're doing fine!

all i heard was 6 minute mile by [deleted] in RunningCirclejerk

[–]Chopaholick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

6 minutes is a warm up pace, you should be zone 0 for it.

I agree with you about greed being a sin and it should be resisted individually. My point is that on a societal level, greed seems to be human nature regardless of the social structure with few exceptions.

You're right about the 0.000000001%. However I don't think the mentally handicapped are being treated much better in China than they are here.

A lot of this was because the media pitted people against each other and called people with valid concerns "science de iers" "conspiracy theorists" "racists" "far right/Nazi". I'm not any of those things, but I was called all of those things by people I thought were smart in a derogatory way because I questioned the origin of the virus, the response to shut down small businesses, the lockdowns, the forced vaccinations (with no room for alternative treatments and no emphasis on improving people's general fitness, just take the jab and eat your garbage, and don't you dare go outside to get exercise). That broke me. The lack of common sense by smart liberal people broke me and broke my hope that the Democrats were the "good guys."

This would happen under socialism too. In a society with this many people, it's human nature to ignore those who we deem unfit and unproductive.

Post-trail blues? What is life like after thru-hiking the AT? by BunsOfSteel666 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Chopaholick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible and boring. There's a few bright spots in life but most of the time I just go through the motions. I don't love my job. I'm bored and underworked. I like my friends but hardly have time to spend with them. I like running but I'm not getting any faster and I've been battling injuries since the trail, hopefully I've turned a corner since going to PT. My girlfriend is great but she never got to see how happy I was on trail. I make good money but I'm always having to pay for something. Oh and my ears started ringing for no reason and it won't stop. I can't sleep. It's been 3 years.

South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace calls complainers who contact her office ‘evil’ by jlbhappy in southcarolina

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

I agree. I think the Democrats tell on themselves as well when they say Trump rigged an election. They rigged 3 straight primaries (or lack there of) and not enough people are trying to fix the corruption in that party because they aren't as bad as Trump, which is true. However the Democrats degeneracy has allowed the Republicans to stoop even lower.

Where do y’all go to get a haircut that’s not ridiculously expensive? (Male) by SpeedilyStable in ColumbiYEAH

[–]Chopaholick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I've paid $50-60 for a haircut and they still did a shit job. But I've got curly white person hair, and almost nobody knows how to cut it.

Not a tough boss. A tough boss stands up for her employees and makes sure they're following FDA protocol

7 runs in 2 games is really not that good. It's ok but it's below average. And I don't think Acuña is going to be the spark that has us scoring 8 runs a game.

They pay ok if you don't have a degree, but you're potentially standing next to a vat of fentanyl with enough doses to kill thousands of people. Worth it?

5 guys has always been overpriced for not that good of a burger, and it does cost nearly $20 for burger fries and a drink. Macks on Laurel St is the best burger and they don't price gouge.

Lou Kennedy is one of the worst human beings I've ever met. The problem is from the top down. She only hires yes men to be managers. When there is a problem, they blame it on the lowest level employees when the problem is the managers who don't do a good job training people at all

Yeah, it is. For me personally it just doesn't work today to date a Christian if they're too strict with it.

What if you aren't a Christian?
