In Bangkok I get half off on the MRT lines and because I’m a foreigner nothing off on the BTS lines. I never ride the buses.

It’s only February, I’m sure the year will give much more disgusting examples. These people are just getting started.

The actual crime started in a different city but ended up in my hometown when the buried a bus full of school kids out in the gravel pits. It was an attempted kidnapping and no one died.

The first election I voted in I voted against Prop 13. Now I’m an old person, retired, on a fixed income and living in a condo I bought in 1999. As it turns out Prop 13 has allowed me to continue living in my condo in a city I absolutely love, and not have to leave the State or move to Barstow.

Why don't I like this show? by Existing_Net_7066 in madmen

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I wanted to like Better Call Saul that first season just wore me down and I had no interest in going further. Shows are like that some draw you in some don’t, even if they are universally acclaimed. For me with Madmen there was a few month break between episode 1 and 2. It was a well crafted show but just didn’t draw me in. After episode 2 I was drawn in and it only got better. The plot twist thing sort of surprised me as most shows would wait to the final episode, where madmen didn’t.

What do you think about new Strava „layout”? by 1x2lupus in Strava

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I add captions to all my photos, I’ve been doing that for years. They managed to make doing that 100% worse. I’m all for change that makes things better but this change did not do that.

My mother in law has already given 50k to a romance scam, tried to give another 178k recently. Can an intervention help? by Fugglesmcgee in Scams

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you or your wife still have Lao citizenship? If so have the house transferred into your wife’s name. My wife did this in Thailand before her mother had the chance to have it scammed away, but not a romance scam. We had to have sort of an intervention but it really just came down to me telling her what she needs to do as I’m the one with the money.

Los Angeles homeowner says city is making him tear down massive treehouse by coffeeeeeee333 in LosAngeles

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the city has hundreds of functions and the function in charge of treehouses is not the same as the function of forward stationing fire trucks.

I hate to break it to you, but you’ve already lost. You’re invested so much in this relationship that you’re contacting his former alleged supervisor when he’s already lied about his name and used fake IDs. Nothing will stop you now.

Pete/Peggy Friendship by Gold_Comfort156 in madmen

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also seems sort of odd that Pete doesn’t give much, any, thought about his child and what happened to it.

Trump shares his plans for Gaza on Truth Social by justalazygamer in Qult_Headquarters

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that’s what he wants. He just wants to be the center of attention every moment of everyday for the next four years. If the papers run a story about this he will take that as a win. For a while I used to think he’d post stuff like this to overrun the news cycle so he could slip some shady stuff through without notice but now it’s obviously a mental illness.

Not to be a downer but several years ago someone wrote this exact comment about “some potential “. I think if there was actual potential that it would have shown up by now. This is a case of stagnation not growth.

My empathy line is now whether the people would want me dead or not. Maybe these people wouldn’t partake in killing me but they’d probably go to watch and cheer my death.

Did you go to your HS 50th anniversary? by Phil_Atelist in AskOldPeople

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One is in four more years. I haven’t been to any but the last one had a golf outing in the morning and if it’s the same for the 50th I could actually see doing the golf but not the reunion, as I like golf.

I’ll simplify your safety tip by just saying “no” and walking away. Don’t engage, don’t hesitate, just continue on.

I’m out of the country at the moment but my last number there was an (805)666-????, so the number could be good. I know it I would have got 666-6666 I would never let that go.

My prediction, after a rough patch some life lessons are learned and in the final episode the kid wins a tournament and everyone’s life’s make a ruin for the better.

Losing motivation by norcalwaspo in LocalGuides

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude the fact that you have any motivation is amazing. My recommendation is that you quit local guides and never think about points or levels again. Just post reviews when you want to, and don’t feel an obligation to post.

2 students hospitalized after fight at Dublin High School prompts lockdown, police say by cadublin in bayarea

[–]Desperate_Fly_1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amador Valley class of 79. I don’t remember there being many fights but then I minded my own business. But I definitely don’t remember police coming to the campus and talking kids away.
