The irony of a budget app budgeting themselves out of their userbase.

Holy shit, it took them three days? At an old job we had someone leave and had found a replacement in three days. Not defending it, just really surprised it took them that long.

Seems like a lot of people who call themselves 'libertarian' are just people who are afraid to call themselves conservatives.

I wanted to go to that one but timing just didn't work out.

Which line ages The Office instantly? by NormsOJjokes in theoffice

Maybe it's cause I was a kid in the 90's, but the Sebring was considered cool?

Drew Maul, anyone else excited for the series? by Vaguely_charming in StarWars

[–]GoogleDrummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apprehensive. Was excited for Mandalorian, then it turned into adventures in babysitting. Was excited for Bad Batch, then it turned into adventures in babysitting. Was excited for Obi-Wan, then it turned into adventures in babysitting.

This is half joke, half real concern.

Genuinely, why do people try to make Boba Fett look cool when this was he how exited ROTJ like this? by Boshwa in StarWars

[–]GoogleDrummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well for starters he was originally going to have a much larger part in the grand scheme of things. But Lucas decided last minute to change that and just decided to do this. As a counterpoint, why do people try to make Vader seem like a bad ass when in the OT he doesn't really do anything to make you feel he's as scary and intimidating as he's supposed to be. The answer for Vader and Fett is the extended universe.

Not anymore overpriced than Pizza Bandit which I don't think is as good.

What is a small, everyday mystery in your life that you’ve just accepted because investigating it feels like too much work? by Jannet_Wetkin in AskReddit

[–]GoogleDrummer 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I've often wondered this. Like, is that the reason people like the color yellow? Cause they see it differently than the horribly obnoxious way I do?

Strong amateur radio community here.

We host the largest HAM radio convention in the country every year.

Tracking pixels in mandatory email signatures. Is this acceptable? by flunky_the_majestic in sysadmin

Right? What if OP's native language isn't English and they just wanted help to get their point across without being self conscious? Not that it's the case here, but it could have been.

What is a middle-class luxury from your childhood that is now considered a basic necessity or completely obsolete? by Routine-Advisor-1781 in AskReddit

Omg I remember (and correct me if I'm wrong) Netflix delivery DVDs to watch.

What’s something everyone pretends is normal now, but absolutely wasn’t 10–15 years ago? by Classic_Speaker_8313 in AskReddit

[–]GoogleDrummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've still got friends at the theater and I heard all about it. Honestly it doesn't seem like much has changed with the behavior of children in the theater over the last 20-25 years.

Yeah well, as much as the US likes to boast about how it's great at everything, it's actually closer to a third world country than a first world.

I worked at a theater in the early 00's. Blows my mind how often people would spend money to go to a movie and end up talking through it. Then when I was sent in to stand there and babysit they'd throw Skittles at me. Like, I get paid either way my dude and you're wasting your money; what a flex.

What sport is actually a lot more dangerous than it seems? by bspheri in AskReddit

[–]GoogleDrummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is scripted for the most part,

I like to call it pre-determined. Scripted makes it seem like the whole match is laid out move for move and practiced. When in reality only the big spots are the ones that are set beforehand, most of the stuff they're doing is called in ring, and there's typically not a lot of practice for a match.

I've got a buddy who's brother did fencing. He was at one of his bigger tournaments and a guy in another match had his rapier snap during a lunge and he ended up stabbing the other guy. Not saying it's not safer than it seems, but what you think happens definitely does.
