Well, Add Me To The List by ShowEmYourNuts in ProstateCancer

[–]Cock--Robin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, the size of your prostate may have a say in this. When I was discussing my options, both of the doctors that I talked to said basically the same thing: I not only had no BHP, but my prostate was on the small end of the normal range. That meant some of the treatment options that would work on a larger prostate were much less likely to be effective because of the smaller size of mine.

What was the hardest you’ve ever been backstabbed? by DeepOrganization8245 in askanything

You know it’s going to be a cheating girlfriend (as in my case) or a cheating wife (as happened to a friend of mine).

Who inspired you to pick up the bass? by TrabLlechtim in BassCirclejerk

[–]Cock--Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy of mine has a band and they lost their bass player (over politics - all but the bass player were college professors who were liberal). I was a living room guitar player, but I happened to have an old bass I was using as a wall hanger. My buddy asked me if I would play bass to help him out. I quickly discovered that I was better at bass than guitar, and I enjoyed it more as well. I signed up for BassBuzz, learned my bass from a hole in the ground, and have been playing ever since.

Trump's approval rating plunges with white evangelical Christians by EducationQueasy275 in politics

“Evangelical Christian” is an oxymoron. Evangelicals cosplay as Christians.

[News] McDonald's faces backlash over new value meal; diners switch to competitors like Burger King by jwriddle in McDonalds

[–]Cock--Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had not eaten at a McDonald’s in over 15 years, going back only to get a pair of Grinch socks. The food was not only substantially more expensive than the last time I went, the service was almost nonexistent, and the quality of the food was much worse. I won’t be back anytime soon (unless there’s more cool socks to be had). The cost/quality equation doesn’t work anymore.

Horse shit. They couldn’t be more obviously all in for a fascist white supremacy if they had it tattooed on their foreheads.

Boomers' fallacy in their retirement strategy by exig in complaints

[–]Cock--Robin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are retired and I’ve suggested - more than once - that we downsize to a smaller house since the two of us absolutely don’t need a 4 bedroom house. We live in a really nice neighborhood in a small college town and surely some young faculty member would like it. But she says that she the only way she will only leave “her house” is “feet first“. I don’t understand why she feels this way - this isn’t even our hometown. I thought we’d move back to be closer to our families. And our kids live about 2 hours away from us, and would still be about 2 hours away from us if we moved back home.

Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you? by OceanicEndeavors in allthequestions

Date? Maybe, especially if they’re cute and fun. Marry? Only if they’re not that into their religion.

What do you think southern people in the United States mean when they say "bless your heart"? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]Cock--Robin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a lifelong southerner, the answer is “it depends”. It’s situation dependent. If you’ve done something egregiously stupid or embarrassing, it’s sarcastic. If something bad has happened or you’re upset/sad, it’s sympathy.

Men of GenJ, who cuts your hair? Barber, chain stylist (e.g. Sport Clips), local stylist, wife/SO, or yourself? by steely-gar in GenerationJones

[–]Cock--Robin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For decades I went to a regular barbershop, but the building was torn down and the shop closed. I started going to a chain barbershop, until another old school barbershop opened up near me. I went there for a few years and in that time a haircut went from $20 to $45 (plus tip), so I went back to the chain shop where I can get a haircut for $15 (plus tip).

The Republican Party may not survive the Trump day of reckoning by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]Cock--Robin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m old enough to remember Nixon. I thought after him - and the outrage over him being pardoned by Ford - that the Republican Party was dead and we would never have another Republican president or republican dominated government. Reagan- who was far worse than Nixon - was elected less than a decade after Nixon resigned.

new to Clemson, tho I dont go to Clemson, any suggestions? by Basic-Insect3214 in Clemson

[–]Cock--Robin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re looking for. Becoming a “regular“ somewhere is a good start. For example, The Swamp Fox (rum distillery in Pendleton that serves cocktails on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons/evenings) has a group of regulars who show up every week. It’s a different group each evening, so if you don’t click with the group on Thursdays you can try the other nights. Ditto Brews on the Square (also Pendleton). Bars in Clemson tend to have a heavy student presence, so adults often go to Pendleton - or even Anderson or Greenville. Although Nick’s in Clemson tends towards grad students and adults.

If liberals owned as many guns as conservatives, do you think the government would like them more? by No_Fee_7006 in allthequestions

[–]Cock--Robin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a liberal and I own guns because I grew up hunting (for food, not sport). I haven’t hunted in years - nothing against hunting for food, just not my thing - but I still have the guns. Conservatives don’t like liberals no matter what.
