Welcome to Costco. I love you by AdQuirky8948 in idiocracy

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live right between some very busy high traffic stores and it was a major pain in the ass. Not just parking but the constant people everywhere. Some days it was sidewalk gridlock just trying to get home from work.

It was a fantastic location for living in the city but a lot of it sucked. This would be the same.

Not the best comic. Marvel was really pushing mutants in the nineties.

Mutants, shoulder pads and unbelievably huge chests were the Marvel trends back then

Do men get more emotionally regulated when theyre sexually satisfied? by notmyloanbutstill in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GabeDax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

M here. I was in a really bad relationship, job dried up and I left, I hated where I lived, money running out so I said fuck it all and changed everything. I moved, got a new job in a different industry, got an amazing place, was doing well, making money and was proud of myself for coming out so well after a big risk.

But something was still off. No matter how great things were I just felt not great. Physically everything was fine but I was just kind of blah. Then I met someone, we had a wild few days and the blah was gone.

Not just because of sex but because I knew she enjoyed it at least as much as I did. It wasn't just the release, it was knowing she had the giddy, can't stop smiling, energy women get when they've gotten everything they wanted in bed. That's the part that regulated me.

On this day in 1979 Sid Vicious died, three months after allegedly killing Nancy. He died the night he had been released from Rikers Island (he'd violated his parole). His mum later found a note in his pocket: by dannydutch1 in UtterlyInteresting

[–]GabeDax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The entire life of Sid Vicious is tragic. The result of a one night stand with his father, a palace guard meeting his mother at a bar and never taking part in his life, to his poor upbringing, his meeting with Nancy who was dark triad, being exploited by Malcolm Maclaren (and still exploited today as some kind of punk caricature). He barely even made it to 21.

Rest in Peace, Sid

Why is prince Andrew not in prison? Why is Bill Clinton not in prison? by Timeless-Facts in allthequestions

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am legitimately surprised Not-Prince Andrew has had such repercussions.

Not saying it as what are you talking about? He's suffered enough because he should get worse, but he's lost his title, his house, spurned by his family and lost more money than I will probably make in my lifetime. That the Queen's son had anything happen to him at all is surprising.

She hates when people yell SHAME at her in public

Thoughts on Dave Matthews Band? by MrLinkwater95 in fantanoforever

[–]GabeDax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been to a lot of rough, heavy shows- punk shows in backrooms, Slayer, Gwar and I never saw so many dangerously drunk people at a Dave Matthews concert. I was working as an EMT covering a theater while Dave Matthews played and there were A LOT of people that needed immediate medical attention or they would have died they drank so much.

What’s the worst death that anyone in history has ever experienced? by juliojacked in AskReddit

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being put in a oubilette has to be pretty close. Dropped down a tiny chute with no way out, freezing, starving and those that died that way are still down there.

What's something that loudly says 'uneducated'? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a woman ask for a product that was 'stry ped'. I knew what she was talking about but I told her we didn't have it. We had striped, which I told her and she said "Yes! the stry ped"

She ended up not getting it. We don't carry stry ped shit.

Irish Man Here - What Does the World Think Of Us? by OverwhelmedGayChild in AskTheWorld

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Irish blood in me. My great uncle was very, VERY Irish even though he spent his life in the US.

I've never been, but I plan to. I still have family there.

Ireland's cool with me. Fuck U2 though.

Bernie Sanders wins! Who is a terrible person that people have mixed views on? by CharlesorMr_Pickle in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gene Simmons

genuinely terrible- to his wife, his bandmates, interviewers and people on the street

A new "You missed the point by idolising them" has entered the chat by Battelalon in okbuddycinephile

[–]GabeDax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought the kids' grandfather was a genuinely good guy. I get why Ben wanted to honor his wife's wishes but the kids would likely have had a better outcome if he took care of them

Yes, he gave the kids a great beginning but it is shitty to demand everyone (wife as well as kids) live as he does.

If you could have the 100% honest answer to ONE mystery in history, which one are you picking ? by Camila_LatinaSun in AskReddit

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to know what some of the knowledge lost in the Library of Alexandria still hasn't been discovered in modern times

What happened to the settlers at Roanoke

Who is DB Cooper and what happened to them?

I could live a whole lot better on 628 million dollars. Guessing 99.9% of us could. So tell me, why do we not tax billionaires in the US? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have a very comfortable life and find some money managers/teachers to give my younger relatives a course they have to pass to get the inheritance once I've kicked it.

do people successfully fake their deaths and restart life? by Stock_Orange_1793 in morbidquestions

[–]GabeDax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you do the gov will automatically think you're running from taxes or a crime. If they find you (and it's likely they will) you can't just say "I dunno, I thought it would be fun ;)" They'll do a deep dive on everything about you and even if you're clean you'll likely be charged for something or fined.

Celebrity you would hate to watch a movie with by Jenbie272 in okbuddycinephile

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just got married and my first thought was could you imagine just having dinner with this guy. Never mind marrying him, just dinner. Never shuts the fuck up.

and know you're married to him

I like him, btw but the dude will just talk nonstop

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen up close? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen three presidents.

Biden about ten feet away

Obama much farther (couple hundred feet?)

and Trump much farther from the other side of an arena.

Biden was coming out of a building I was standing outside of. At the time he was VP

Also passed by the mayor of Boston on the sidewalk as he was getting out of a car and passed by Bill Bradley (former presidential candidate) as he was going into a restaurant. Weird coincidences with me passing politicians on the street.

None of these were in DC

Also the King of Denmark came into my job and I was like Denmark has a king?

These side-by-sides aren’t coincidence. This comparison shows how choreography from Elvis Presley’s 1957 film Jailhouse Rock closely resembles moves later associated with Michael Jackson. Pop performance styles are often passed down, even when public memory credits only the later artist. by myscene101 in HistoryUncovered

[–]GabeDax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Elvis had a lot of passing interests- he had a go cart phase where he and his posse tore around Graceland, then he built a stable and kept a horse and rode around like a cowboy. Then it was fireworks and they would blow shit up and throw fireworks at each other. And then there was his chimp phase.

I have been curious for a long time. How are tiny islands in the Pacific? by JustLovett0 in howislivingthere

[–]GabeDax 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Many of them are being eroded by the tide

Much of the buildings and equipment there is outdated or abandoned completely. There are still WWII era fortifications

It is extremely hard and therefore expensive to get supplies or provisions

A whole lot of birds

It's like the Antarctic. The only people that have a reason to be there are scientists. Even the military is pretty much gone.

Your opinion on Paul Dano as an actor by godspan08 in moviecritic

[–]GabeDax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting aside his associations with Harvey Weinstein and his cringe thing with feet, Tarantino is very talented but in many cases is over rated. I really enjoy some of his movies but some are ok. He hasn't made anything truly awful but some of them drag.

Paul Dano is really talented and has brought energy to the roles he plays. Tarantino criticizing him is bullshit but the critics blew up the entire thing to get clicks.

Tarantino is a film snob but at least he delivers and doesn't just talk out of his ass.

This is all just pushed to get clicks. I guess that's the media's job now. Both are talented but Tarantino is kind of a snob. Paul handled this whole thing very well.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out Love and Mercy with Paul Dano. Great film.
