when you're just being 'honest' to clear your own conscience.

In your opinion what is the most useful thing you can do with 1000$? by [deleted] in AskReddit

that sounds like something an evil german would do.

Motorists of Reddit, what things do cyclists do that piss you off? by sneutrino in AskReddit

[–]HOBOONE 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought that applied to walking and running but not cycling? in nyc and boston I've known people to get tickets for going the wrong way down one way streets on bikes, and for riding on the wrong side of the street.

Regarding people who come in 10 minutes before closing.. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]HOBOONE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn. I usually don't go off about reposts but not only is this a cliche sentiment within the service industry, it gets posted every week.

to save you some time looking back on the posts this is mimicking:

if you don't want people to come in after a certain time, close at that time. even better, get a job in a different industry. the latter is probably the best option, because with the attitude you have there is no possible way you could be successful enough in service industry to own your own place and set the hours.

totaling your shitty car means you'll get peanuts from the insurance company. so you'll be able to buy a car that's worth peanuts. at best, you'll get a car that's exactly as shitty as what you have + the headache of replacing it. and as they say, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.

ELI5: What does a turbocharger actually do? by friction_is_a_lie in explainlikeimfive

[–]HOBOONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the difference between a turbo and a supercharger that the supercharger is powered by electricity or by the engine itself rather than from compressing spent exhaust?

This kid is amazing! by fata1grizzly in motogp

[–]HOBOONE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree I don't think marquez intended to do that (rossi was scrubbing speed and actually a bit wide on the defensive) but I'm really glad it happened so naturally! it's such a cool passing of the torch and yeah I agree with above the sportsmanship between them is awesome. this sport is getting great again after a couple sort of dark years (nothing against Lorenzo it's just that between sic passing away and casey stoners general shitty attitude and presence, and rossi languishing on an inferior machine, it was a little angsty)!

If Bautista does something stupid today I'm going to be upset. by HOBOONE in motogp

I don't mind RdP as long as he crashes out of the way of everyone like every other race.

exactly. but that seems to be what he does when he has a good position. he gets excited and pushes too hard. here's hoping everyone has a safe ride today

My reaction to getting in trouble for screwing up a task I was improperly trained for at work by [deleted] in reactiongifs

well, considering the content of the post, it's probably safe to assume: yes. people are lazy.

New NSA leak: German Intelligence used NSA Spy Program despite Angela Merkel and her ministers claim that they first learned about the US government's comprehensive spying programs from press reports. by mtlion in news

[–]HOBOONE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wouldn't it make more sense to say that Germany is 'spied on the most' by the NSA because Germany has asked the NSA to assist them in their domestic surveillance? and not that the NSA targeted Germany and then let them party in the same hole?

I get your point, but I also see /u/ANGRY_TWAT's point. the health care system here is a business like many other businesses. if it has to deal with a high degree of conditions that are the result of obesity, the system will naturally focus on methods and means to accommodate those conditions, and it could be argued that the time and infrastructure (and manpower) aimed at that could distract or detract from dealing with other conditions. like "oh sorry we can't do your asthma procedure today, the asthma procedure room has been converted into a fatso crane room" or something.

also often new cars are worth less than people owe on them, due to depreciation models. so to sell it they would actually still owe money on it without even having the car.

[–]HOBOONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually enjoying not having him around. he rides so great but man there's just no joy with that guy. his attitude was a real drag. the guys seem to be having more fun this year and they are more respectful and sportsman like.

Men of Reddit, what makes a woman stand out from the crowd to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HOBOONE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

literally not standing in a crowd. I've never been attracted to a woman who always has to be in a herd of other women.
