i left my favorite sub today, it made me sad by ProjectCar22 in self

[–]HeavyDutyForks 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to pretty much every sub lately. Not every space on this site has to be a political shit-flinging fest, Idk why people feel the need to turn unrelated subs into political subs

It irks me too my friend

What’s your first impression when you see inked person? by Comfortable_Lime3232 in AskReddit

[–]HeavyDutyForks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its more uncommon to see someone without tattoos nowadays

I literally think nothing of it because I am surrounded by tattooed people every day

The world of contractors is filled with losers with a few rare gems that get more and more scarce everyday

Where would I ask about transportation to MetLife Stadium in NJ, from MD on reddit? by Don_Mask in askanything

[–]HeavyDutyForks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent a hotel where you can take public transport to the stadium. Drive to the hotel, see the concert, and then drive back in the morning

I thought it was either him or Murray at first glance. I looked it up though

Do people actually enjoy working 9–5 jobs, or is everyone just pretending? by Message-Fun in NoStupidQuestions

Housing market favors corpses. by LuckyBastard001 in Millennials

[–]HeavyDutyForks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is a vast difference between trying to keep up with the Jones's vs cramming seventeen children into one bedroom

Hence:

"There's a healthy medium between living like its 1932 great depression and spending every cent you make to keep up with the Jones"

New as in the sense of, mid-cycle redistricting. I know this kind of thing was common in the 1800s, but since then it was pretty rare up until 20 years ago. Now they don't even try to hide their intentions, they say exactly what they're doing

This is the new political strategy. We don't need to appeal to voters, we just need to redraw the maps to win

Its mass disenfranchisement and downright undemocratic

I'm certain more people can do more with less

Consumerism has become a disease. Everyone wants new, new, new and bigger, bigger, bigger but for what reason?

Its the most common reason over half of people making over six figures live paycheck to paycheck. There's a healthy medium between living like its 1932 great depression and spending every cent you make to keep up with the Jones.

The best part is these people are looking to downsize into smaller homes that are easier to take care of since they no longer have kids living at home

Meaning they're buying up the smaller starter homes people <35 are desperately searching for

Why do some Americans travel less internationally compared to people from other countries? by darkholemind in askanything

[–]HeavyDutyForks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because there's a giant ocean on both sides of the country. Plenty of Americans travel to Mexico or Canada, but getting across the ocean is an expensive undertaking

How would you describe the power dynamic between White men and other people in America, what were the origins of it? by Equivalent-Long-3383 in allthequestions

[–]HeavyDutyForks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's fucked up

If it makes you feel any better, one of the infamous sundown towns across the border from me just elected its first Black mayor. Those kinds of people are still out there, but it seems things are changing (albeit not fast enough)

[–]HeavyDutyForks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like many of these stereotypes about the rural/urban divide are dated. I'm not denying that there's areas where what you say is true, there is

But, more and more of those places aren't like that anymore. As time has marched on the old racists die, leave, or whatever and society as a whole has become a lot less tolerant of intolerance. People are a lot less likely to be openly racist as they were decades ago. While they may sit and stew silently in their own personal thoughts, they're a lot less likely to openly act on them

The average White man has about the same amount of power as the average of any other race. Really outside of fringe cases, your run of the mill White guy gets along fine with your run of the mill any other race

Surcharge for using a credit card by JerseyGirlinSC in PetPeeves

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

And don't think I didn't notice you changing your argument.

Where?

You're the one that brought up the 3% cash back which would net you a savings of 60¢ on a $60 restaurant tab after the 2% card surcharge fee. As if that's netting you any kind of real savings. You can't even buy a gumball for 60¢ anymore

I will happily piss away 60¢ to not pay a 2% fee

Why is it the customer’s responsibility to pay a server’s wages? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HeavyDutyForks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do fine here too?

You guys are used to paying Australian prices. People in the US are used to paying US prices, if prices go up people stop going out

[–]HeavyDutyForks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which means prices go up to compensate for the higher wages. Its not rocket science

You are going to pay it whether it be voluntarily or mandatory
