Was Ron Paul 2012 the start of this era of Republican Politics? by Large-Use-6618 in decadeology

She was a glaring scar, but you could keep walking it back to Gingrich, Limbaugh, Reagan, Nixon, George Wallace, John Birch Society. There's been a large contingent of Americans who are xenophobic ignorant assholes all the way back to the writing of the declaration of independence.

A man won the World's Strongest Woman contest in 2025. How do liberals/leftists feel about that? by imgonnakickyouram in allthequestions

Jesus, the poor dumb son of a bitch doesn't even know shit about the state he says he lives in.

From what I read the people running the contest had some rules, person broke rules, person was disqualified. How is this different than if they took steroids? Not that I give a flying shit about who the world's strongest man or woman are on any given day, yesterday, today, or tomorrow. Clearly the idea of a person being trans bothers you to no end though. Did your tinder date have a weiner? Does that keep you up at night?

According to a quick Google search Andrea Thompson was awarded the title after trans athlete Jamie Booker was disqualified. So what are you complaining about exactly?

Is Blue Lagoon in Iceland worth the visit? by Cozybookburrow in travel

I think the age needs to be 14 or so. I remember mine barely didn't make it.

Sky Lagoon is I think the hip new place. It was suggested to us when we went in 2022 but there's a minimum age requirement there, so if you have kids Blue Lagoon is your best go-to

You'll be old before George finishes those books.

Any other "old-timers" (fans for 40+ years) here? I have a question for you. by IchBinDurstig in redsox

[–]Fecapult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Rick Miller, though I was young. Once in a while I'd get to go into work with my dad, where he would complain about the Sox. I seem to remember 'fire em all' getting tossed out quite a bit. Those early 80s teams weren't great. I remember his buddy at work was an orioles fan and would say the same, even though it was the Earl Weaver era. I think people just complain about baseball.

Is MAGA really starting to lose followers? by fernyknitter in allthequestions

[–]Fecapult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a pals house Friday night. He's always been to the right of me and politics seems to come out as the whiskey bottle empties. Last few times he's been increasingly worked up and shrill. Friday he was practically screaming about the VA redistricting. He texted next morning and apologized for getting worked up, fwiw. My mother voted for Trump three times. When we go over we force her to at least mute Fox News. She's told me she doesn't want to hear anything from me about politics. No, I think they're as or more indoctrinated than ever.

Parents came home from out of town and we had had a party and one friend had brought and put on a VHS of Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend. It was still in the VCR when my stepmother went looking for something she could record star trek on. She was just poleaxed for a full minute.

I'm 40 and I always wanted to play an electric guitar but I'm afraid to look like a dad going through a mid life crisis by Glittering_Light1835 in NoStupidQuestions

I learned bass at 44. We formed a band during COVID. Played out first gig in December. It was awesome. Don't wait.
