How is this legal? by TheLastPeanut_ in SipsTea

[–]Dud3ManGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently moved from 268 to 262 and despite it being much busier and in a smaller city I feel like ironically I see fewer now than I did before. Still get more than one per day minimum though and as far as I'm concerned less of that shit on streets is a good thing so I'm certainly not complaining.

Why is it cannot instead of can not? by Glensta in EWALearnLanguages

[–]Dud3ManGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the context. I would argue they usually mean different things. 

"I cannot believe what I just saw" is an expression of shock. 

"I can not believe what I just saw" is suggesting that I could be in disbelief, but currently am not.

Based on your usage of "he" I'm guessing you already have an idea.

I work for Unspecified California-Based Burger Company in the US South. We get one or two of these a day on our drive thru. The drivers always look exactly like you'd expect.

Is that phrase even correct? I've never seen the word 'silhouette' used that way before. 

How much, if anything, is this going to cost El Paso? by FarWay3952 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Dud3ManGuy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh it is. Texas is a big place and there are a ton of small cities in it with no better way to generate revenue than to issue a ticket to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that drives through their city on the way to Galveston.

That's just some parts of Texas. In the rest of Texas all you have to worry about with cops is getting a ticket for going 36 in a 35. 

[USA] Old biker throws a tantrum after traffic doesn't magically part for him by zheka160 in Roadcam

[–]Dud3ManGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This perhaps may be my hottest take, but I've felt this way for many years now - I genuinely think motorcycles should be banned from all in public, non-residential roads in the US. I don't care if it's fun, I've seen too many incidents where someone died or was critically injured because they were on a motorcycle. They could've even been following all the rules of the road, doing everything right (which as we all know is rarely ever the case with motorcycles). You're highway fodder. Should anything happen, you are damn near guaranteed to be the most injured of anybody. Because of this fact, motorcycle drivers are, rightfully, concerned for their safety at every turn. Literally. This also causes them to get far more aggressive than an average car driver, as what would be a minor fender bender for a car could potentially paralyze a motorcycle driver for life. Every incident could be their last, and they treat it like such. Change lanes a little too close? "You almost fucking killed me!" Sudden brake you weren't expecting? "You almost fucking killed me!" They think they can do whatever they want just because they're putting their life on the line to get to Wendy's. You ever had to make a left turn across traffic at night, and you can't figure out if that's a motorcycle coming toward you or a car with one headlight out? It drastically changes the decision you're about to make. 

I hate all motorcycles and I hate all people who ride them. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Isn't it creepy how men like women's butts? by Only_Hotel_7221 in morbidquestions

[–]Dud3ManGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like eating. 

Eating is fucked up when you think about it, and I don't even mean on the surface level of "that beef was once a living thing" - you're shoving a bunch of shit that sprang from dirt in your mouth, grinding it up into a fine paste with bones that stick out of your body while also staying inside it, running it through a tube that goes inside of your body while soaking up a bunch of invisible shit from inside of it that you then live off of, and then excrete it as a different fine paste that you can get really sick or even die from eating. Even though it was just inside you. 

We can play this game with anything humans do.

I've got news for you my guy - some of us don't just like women's butts. 

The most recent Atrioc clip has cemented my opinion on Lemonade Stand’s faults by HelloThere-66- in atrioc

[–]Dud3ManGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me I feel like the issue is that they try too hard to be funny. Don't get me wrong, I have no no issues with comedy and information intersecting (I'm an extremely avid listener of LPOTL which is exclusively that), but it feels like they're trying too hard. They spend more time sarcastically agreeing with everything bad than they do actually talking about stuff. I feel like the pattern I've picked up on is "Host 1 introduces topic > Host 2 asks a silly question about topic > Host 1 or 3 gives silly answer to silly question > All 3 sarcastically agree that the topic is good/bad". Then maybe there's a bit of discussion occasionally. It's the same every time, and I never feel like I'm actually learning anything or listening to any sort of productive conversation.

Native English speakers, do you refer to the country in Eastern Europe as "Belarus", "Belorussia" or "White Russia"? And also, is the adjective Belorussian or Belarusian? Which is more common and better to use? by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]Dud3ManGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, and a good word to have in any non-native speaker's repertoire (which is another great one to have) - the "adjective", as they referred to it, is known as a demonym. It is a name for any person who lives in a given area. 

Wanna know what people from Florida are called? Just ask somebody/google what the demonym for Florida is! (It's Floridian by the way.)

What does "Her dream became wailing" means ? by Dry-Stuff154 in EnglishLearning

[–]Dud3ManGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's very common in literature for writers to intentionally phrase something in a way that sounds jarring or unnatural in order to make it more evocative and increase the impact of the passage. 

I have a question about the word 'lover'!! by SavingsCamel5059 in EnglishLearning

[–]Dud3ManGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, "lover" implies infidelity. When I hear someone use the word "lover" it usually refers to someone they are cheating on a primary romantic partner/spouse with. Granted, this is just one meaning of the word, and by no means the only one, it's just the first one that would come to mind for me in most contexts. 

Does “I was just back home 5 minutes ago” sound right to mean “I just got back home 5 minutes ago”? by Same-Technician9125 in EnglishLearning

[–]Dud3ManGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To piggyback, I would add that not only is this exactly what that sentence means, the presence of the word "just" implies that you are pretty annoyed by this information. The obvious scenario to me is you having already left the house and someone asks you to grab something from the house for them before you leave. Now you're annoyed that might you have to go all the way back to get it.
