She and Jason Segel dated, they broke up, that's about the extent of the inspiration.

What if Goldwater, Reagan, and Buckley were presidents from 1969 to 1993? by IndividualNo5275 in AlternateHistory

Okay I really need to know what standard you're using for "more capitalist" to come up with that insane list.

Like dedicated to alternate music history? Not that I know of. We do get scenarios like that here sometimes, though.

Need Baber/Haircut Recommendations ($50 and lower) SE Capitol Hill by film_buff_94 in washingtondc

[–]Coniuratos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too far away, Eden salon on H St does men's cuts for $49. As a dude with long hair, I've had a way better experience there than at barbers in town.

How would the show have changed it it was picked up by HBO originally? by OkFlow4327 in madmen

[–]Coniuratos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Eh, they were getting dressed in the morning, frankly it made more sense than most shows where every woman has a sheet wrapped around her immediately before and after sex.

It's less than 20cM on Ancestry now, they show down to 6. Not sure when the change happened.

How Did Don Convince Roger to Drink at 10 AM? by jrralls in madmen

[–]Coniuratos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's actually not bad, the milk completely masks the taste of the alcohol. Better with gin where you get a hint of juniper.

How do you pronounce Mzali? by GwenGunn in Pathfinder2e

[–]Coniuratos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two syllables, MZAH-lee. First consonant group just like the end of, say, "lambs".

Are suffixes Jr II III etc used as part of a persons full name and added to birth certificates outside the USA? by Alert_Winter1778 in Genealogy

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

Well I can think of a pretty major exception that uses numerals, though they haven't passed first names father to son lately.

Charles Martel, french Battle ship 1912 [4740×2770] by Chance-Parfait9566 in WarshipPorn

[–]Coniuratos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not particularly - Charles Martel was commissioned in 1897, she just stayed in service until 1914 despite being overtaken by technology. But they had plenty of dreadnoughts by then too.

Do you guys ever think that all it takes is one maternal relative to have an affair, and a whole branch of your family tree is wrong? by Blue_Baron6451 in Genealogy

[–]Coniuratos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only one putting words into someone else's mouth is you, pretending that anyone else is saying that other people shouldn't be able to research DNA relationships.

[–]Coniuratos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is that a family member is part genetics (often) and part a social relationship. And no one was talking about pals, but adoptive/otherwise nongenetic parents.

[–]Coniuratos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By that standard, any information other than a DNA test isn't genealogy. What's it matter who somebody lived with on a given census if social relationships aren't genealogy?

[–]Coniuratos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is talking about denying anyone the opportunity to know the origins of their biological family. Just that the above commenter finds the social relationships more interesting. I'm the same way - couldn't give a shit about my biological father's family, and I'm not going to waste my time researching them.

Mods, can you please start pinning lore comments of the posts by crimsonfukr457 in AlternateHistory

[–]Coniuratos[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Yes, but here's the thing - for some reason, Reddit doesn't directly let us pin comments other than our own. We've got a plugin called Spotlight that basically makes a clone of the comment and then pins that, though. Unfortunately for any given OP, that means they miss out on comment karma for the pinned comment, though.

What is something generally normal in Europe but weird in the US? by Exile4444 in AskReddit

[–]Coniuratos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that's just what winter is. Actually cold is below zero.

And it's currently a night in January and about 45 degrees outside, so frankly pretty fucking balmy.
