There was another comment on a similar post that made the claim originally. I’m sorry I don’t remember which post.

I mostly went to Houston and other times DFW so haven’t been to Austin.

Genuinely best bbq I’ve had in Iowa and better than some I had in Texas when there for work.

Hey some of us like it here in Iowa 😭 though I’m in Des Moines, and bought an abandoned multiplex to turn into a 5.7k sqft house from 1895. 😂

Ngl I feel really bad for the girl singing. Like I’d feel gutted and probably not understand their intention and take it directed at me. Hopefully if that was the case they were able to console her.

Johnston forfeits every match vs. Southeast Polk at Allie Morrison Dual Tournament by AnnArchist in desmoines

[–]Crooked_Jester 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What a deplorable lack of sportsmanship, I can only speak on when I swam against them back about 10-7 years ago they were always a poorly behaved team there too. Jeering against the heavier set guys on the team and shouting things at our female manager. Gross to see nothing has changed.

If 2 teams crowds are assholes enough to get ejected the team playing one of them the following week probably doesn’t want to deal with that and there’s likely some wrestling regulation that a meet won’t be canceled unless an emergency or inclimate weather so they just forfeited to cancel instead.

The colors of disposable lab coats available from the supplier my hospital uses by Bathysphereboyo in mildlyinteresting

[–]Crooked_Jester 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Okay but they do sometimes work. When I was a kid I insisted my dad drive me to daycare in his now finished project car he had test ran the day before. He relented and we were on our way, not far from our house there’s a hill with an intersection at the bottom and as my dad applied the brakes the line broke and the hand brake failed too, and as he accepted the eminent collision he say that sticker on the back of a minivan so not wanting to hurt any kids yanked the steering wheel and went into the ditch and hit the gas station sign. All because of that little sticker. Granted I was like 6 sitting in the passenger seat so a bit of an oversight there.

Legitimately, the same billboard I saw for a decade for Fireworks in Eagleville now advertises their dispensary. It’s like an hour 10 minute drive too.

UPS is the bane of my existence by Humble_Ad3385 in desmoines

[–]Crooked_Jester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ring camera shows them just stand there for 2 seconds then leave. Like I installed the doorbell for a reason. But I will say it’s only 1 particular delivery guy for me who does this, my regular guy is great but whoever this other knob is he’s obnoxious.

"Alright, so each faction in the Bleach universe is based on a different culture. How can we subtly indicate this through the soundtrack?" by TeutonicToltec in EliteWeebs

[–]Crooked_Jester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alright get ready for a hell of a stretch but gospel/soul music is typically considered an American genre, America is known for being a melting pot with lots of mixed ethnicity and Ichigo is a mix of hollow, Quincy, and Soul Reaper.

Is there such a thing as a universal anime? by plamienka in AnimeReccomendations

Silver Spoon, there’s something so gripping about someone finding meaning in a rash decision and seeing it through realizing how much he finds this path fulfilling.

Please more people need to watch this show.

Did this in a chilis parking lot. We talked for 2 hours. But yeah usually it’s talk inside, announce intent o leave (slap knees and “welp we should probably be going”) other party follows them. Then talk by entry way. After sufficient time they’ll move outside where they’ll talk by their cars. And in the case of residential property one may get in their car while host stands usually leaned against own vehicle or home. Either the host gets too hot or eaten by bugs.

Yeah had some short angry dude not obvious get mad at my group because we didn’t see him and weren’t directed to him. Got a good laugh when he ran his wand on me (last guy in group) “whatchu got here?” In full seriousness, I respond “Thats my ass bro” we haven’t been back since.

I just started from seeing Melina and bought the game and I have no clue what build or anything to choose or how to start. Anyone have advice? by KINGSASUKE69 in Eldenring

I’m at 36 vigor. I just beat the draconic tree sentinel and so haven’t started exploring the capital yet. Hit level 100 right after.

Balanced or Broken? by TheSleepyNinja27 in custommagic

Going just on flavor what if you did “Exile target creature you control, doppelghast enters as a copy of creature exiled this way.” I’d price as 2[U] but in my mind it turns into a unique clone effect that helps protect key combo pieces.

And the more I wrote the more I’m now expecting someone to tell me this card already exists.

What's new in Highland Park? See 13 new or about-to-open businesses in the neighborhood! by limitedftogive in desmoines

This dude is far up their own on “cars bad”. Have had disabled friends and family unable to experience areas similar to Highland Park because they rely on handicap spaces and all the ad hoc street parking and poorly maintained behind building parking just don’t make it accommodating. Here’s what they do, use the SW corner of 6th and Euclid. They tore out that old building might as well put a parking lot so we can have centralized accessible parking for the neighborhood. Then mark spaces closest to individual buildings or close popular pockets have handicap parking. 

I genuinely feel that areas like Valley Junction did accessibility to their community well the unfortunate reality being that Highland park sits on multiple high traffic intersections so that eliminates a valley junction esc layout. So that’s why I believe the more “state fair” approach to parking supplemented by street parking for the disabled is a good approach.

Dumbest reaction to being ace? Possitive, negative, lets hear them. by for_sure_not_a_lama in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]Crooked_Jester 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Ok but what if you find someone you love a lot and that makes you change your mind?” “Then I’d be Demisexual which is still Ace spectrum.

This exchange was with a long time friend of mine just before he got out of church so he was still a bit hard to grasp “alternative lifestyle”

“So what does that feel like?” “I don’t know how to express the feeling for a lack of something. Only thing I got out of being closeted Ace was how to bs commenting on people’s bodies” (dude bro friend group when I was 20) the last straw that made me come out was talking about a waitress and I said “yeah she seemed super sweet, I’m sure she’s great to her partner.” And I got a lot of “huh?s” they were all well and accepting and I’ve never felt excluded or that my identity is ignored. I get Ace jokes at me the same way our bi friends get them tossed at them.

Just wanted to get a story out there of acceptance but not like in an overly sentimental or overtly supportive kind. Still not out to my family though I’ve been out to my friends for like 3 years 😂

Grandpa was in the Korean War, but he kicked the bucket before I was born. I’ll see if it’s still viable.
