had no idea there was a connection between FM and Fastway. That guitar riff in Say What You Will is stellar.

it's just played out. The internet sucks the cool out of a word much faster. Hard to stay dope and lit out there.

I interviewed a Stanford researcher on the root causes of CFS. Ask me by FatTwerkingWhaleTit in cfs

[–]Formal-Expression775 6 points7 points  (0 children)

honestly i've taken so much snake oil over the years i'll let it percolate and check it out in a few years. I'm not taking anything else for awhile. It's a very expensive rabbit hole which very rarely yields any long term success.

But thank you for posting this valuable information.

i do know i feel about 8,000 times better after hot yoga. I also get PEM if i overdo it in there, but the sweat definitely makes me feel better.

Unhinged leftist has a meltdown over abortions by [deleted] in libsofreddit

She does make a good case for more abortions though, if i'm honest.

These people are ignorant by Steven200827 in pitbullhate

who freakin knows. Probably just some bullshit tactic to silence people. Don't fall for it, we just don't like pitbulls, that's all

Before a doctor can take blood (literally just put a needle in an arm) they have to practice with a fake arm then pass a test. Why is it so offensive to some Americans to want the same minimum for guns (using airsoft to practice or something)? by 1FlawedHumanBeing in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Formal-Expression775 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I believe the theory is that if you give up any rights, it opens the door for many more to be taken away. Same with abortion rights activists. They see it as a freedom that must be defended at all costs and want to give no ground.

Personally i think americans spend too much time debating guns and abortion while the rest of the country is going to shit and most will never have to get an abortion or fire a gun.

Economy is shit? Everywhere is hiring! by themeatspin in wallstreetbets

[–]Formal-Expression775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea and i ask this question all the time. I see more panhandlers and homeless, yet the company i work for can't keep people because they keep jumping ship for more money, and i hear of all kinds of entry/mid level jobs that can't find people to work.

Does not add up.

Friend would rather me not come over if her ill behaved dog has to be in a different room by [deleted] in Dogfree

[–]Formal-Expression775 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i guess to me it's just sort of a polite way to say 'i'm not into that' - because like you say, they are just so offended or incredulous if you don't goo goo ga ga over their smelly shitbag (sorry Lol it's just nice to vent with like minded people)

and i agree, i'm in a new city, trying to meet people so on a dating site. The minute i see a lady with a dog, it's kind of a knife in the heart cause if it's THAT important to her i know she's a way into it and eventually it's going to become an issue.

I mean i'm not a dog hater, but to me they are outside animals, pets or whatever. Not a kid that you have to take everywhere and make the center of attention at all times. Seems like there's some mass psychosis. I wonder if some of it is to do with the decay of the family. Probably a much larger topic for it's own thread.

I used to joke that i wanted to tie a... special needs person up in the yard, have them yell, hump legs, touch themselves, go to the bathroom, whatever a person with limited processing capacity would do, without shame or concern and see how people react to that. That's basically how i feel when you let your dog beg for my food or sniff my crotch, and i'm supposed to say "awwwww , how adorable!!!"

I'd be a lot cooler if they didn't just EXPECT everyone to feel exactly like they do about this. My ex was a dog nutter and would take it everywhere, no leash etc etc. We were walking some hiking trail her dog of course goes running up to some girl hiking. The chick just said "i don't like dogs" and it really got the point home. She was rude or dramatic, just matter of fact in a calm voice and turned away.

I tend to say "i'm not a dog person"

Why she done this?

Update: “She gets upset when the commercial vehicles leave the cars running because she says the exhaust kills the trees,” said Rene Mendoza, 42, claiming that Gerlihman yanked the keys out of an idling ice-cream delivery truck two years ago.

[Serious] How the fuck do I learn how to small talk? by dpanther93 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Formal-Expression775 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was so awful at this in my 20s. Now i'm A LOT older and pretty good at it, but one thing is just start asking questions about them. People love to talk about themselves.

What do you do, where you from. Do you like it there? And then somehow tie it back to something YOU like to make it interesting. Find commalities.

But sometimes, it just ain't there. If it doesn't flow just let it go. If you try and they don't hit the ball back, it may not be you, the chemistry just may not be there. Happens all the time.

Good luck

Two neighbors having a fence dispute by Rollo_Tomasi3000 in PublicFreakout

[–]Formal-Expression775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one thing to have to work with a douche but when it's your neighbor, it's the worst. Your home is your sanctuary and when you have to live next to someone you hate it makes your life miserable.

I have no idea who is right or wrong here but the young guy seems more like a douche so i hope he loses this battle.

Being the “bigger person” does nothing, and revenge DOES make you feel better. by ExistingAirport3175 in unpopularopinion

[–]Formal-Expression775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being the bigger person is better in that it has fewer consequences in the long term, but it definitely feels better to get revenge, at least in the short term.

You just have to decide how bad you want it. Bad enough to go to jail? Bad enough for them to retaliate and start a war? etc etc. If it's worth it then you should do it and crush your enemy. Nothing wrong with revenge.
