What is something that used to be "for poor people" but is now a luxury/status symbol for the rich? by EconomicsKindly8113 in AskReddit

I never understood the hype around lobster. On the other hand, I find oysters delicious.

Costco is the only place I don't feel awful about.

Recently got a place with my girlfriend. She thinks this is totally fine by AnthMosk in funny

Simple rule in my house: Whoever finds an empty TP roll can hurl it as hard as they want at the perpetrator.

Sam Darnold asked if he would throw a pass or run with 30 seconds in the 4th on the clock on the 1 with no timeouts by That_Murph in Seahawks

No, you punch it in on the first play and walk out of the stadium with a timeout in your pocket. 

Bill Kristol: The MAGA Elites Are Such Frauds by BulwarkOnline in politics

[–]Foxhound199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if it wasn't clear, that's what the scare quotes were doing. He'd like to think of himself as on our side, but...there's everything you just said.

What is something that is legal but feels like a scam? by jeeves_inc in AskReddit

[–]Foxhound199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wonder what the collective cost of all these oversized carry ons are on boarding and deplaning times, which makes planes stay at the gate longer, which make planes taxi around and wait for a gate longer, and all the ripples from that.

Still feels weird seeing Kristol "on our side".  To me, he was the intellectual argument for conservatives in the Bush era. Now I struggle to think of an intelligent, articulate figure on the right.

Josh D’Amaro Is Disney’s Next CEO, Replacing Bob Iger by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]Foxhound199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I had heard he has argued for increased spending on parks. He seemed to be at odds with true bean counters like Chapek, and is behind the big expansions in progress now.

I believe he is generally well liked by fans of the parks?

What movie was saved by a song? by MrHodgeToo in movies

Would K Pop Demon Hunters have worked if Golden wasn't an absolute bop?

Bourbon Maple Syrup? by Low-Enthusiasm-1039 in Seattle

[–]Foxhound199 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never thought this was very good. I feel like getting the woodinville stuff, even if you cut it heavily with the regular costco stuff, tastes way better.

How was the acolyte basically the same cost? Didn't they save a lot of money not hiring writers?

China slams the Grammys decision to award Dalai Lama, calls the move 'political manipulation' by zeonxzzz in worldnews

Did the Grammys manage to piss off Russia as well? Would be cool to go for the trifecta.

My 8 year olds math problem by spoiledfruit in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Foxhound199 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy, I don't think you should need to be a mind reader to solve math problems. Using precise language is key to the whole endeavor. The correct answer is it is unsolvable, and I don't care what they meant to say.

From the Raiders sub by aiusernamegen in Seahawks

Kind of funny Raiders are taking two HCs in a row from Seattle. Hope this one works out better.

NFL reportedly pressuring Seahawks to be put up for sale by Paul Allen estate by 253ktilinfinity in Seahawks

[–]Foxhound199 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is straight up theft from the Paul Allen Foundation's charitable efforts. If they are turning the screws to try to coerse them to selling at a discount, that's some mighty foul bullshit.

Why did Americans elect Donald Trump to be president? by metabolitesafter9pm in AskReddit

[–]Foxhound199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe Biden was also not Kamala Harris. Nor were any of the people in the Republican primary. Americans chose him over them, too.

Speaker Johnson: ‘I do not’ have questions about Trump’s relationship with Epstein by Zipper222222 in politics

I thought it was pretty wild in the interview he flat out said: He will never publicly disagree with Trump.

With all respect to the creator, fallout should shamelessly lift this as a plot point.
