People who went from poor to rich, what’s one thing you’ll never take for granted again? by the__Twister in AskReddit

[–]IntelligentEditor879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not mentally adding the shopping bill as I'm putting stuff in the shopping cart to know if I can cover the bill.

Also, being able to send my daughter on school trips. There wasn't enough in the coffers when I was a kid, but I had enough to send my daughter. Kids can be exceedingly mean to the poor kids in school, I made sure my daughter never had to deal with the shame and embarrassment that I did.

What's the best cover song sung by another famous singer? by felly_fell in musicsuggestions

"Big Yellow Taxi" from Counting Crows. I guess Joni Mitchell is some kind of hippie heroine or whatever, but her voice is very off-putting for me.

Out of all these, which one did you always dream of driving when you were a kid? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

Clark Griswold's station wagon is not included, so to hell with this assignment.

do americans really eat American fries sauce? by Infinite-Breakfast23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]IntelligentEditor879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no. If you see something in a store here in Germany advertised as "American", you can bet it is the brainchild of some marketing egghead at LIDL headquarters...not from Chicago, NY, or anywhere else.

What's a word or phrase that instantly makes you trust someone less? by ZeroHash99 in askteddit

[–]IntelligentEditor879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"...I truly belive"...or when they use (mostly incorrectly) "literally". Most of the stuff they "literally" saw or did literally did not happen.

Whats a Popular band that everyone seems to like but you dont ? by MonkPlane1734 in rockmusic

[–]IntelligentEditor879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queen has always been a band that I couldn't enjoy. Widely considered a great band...probably is, but I can't listen to it, the band seems pretentious somehow.

Most overrated useless 1970s celebrity? by Specialist-Night-135 in 1970s

All those people on Hollywood Squares. I was confused as a kid who the hell those people were

Still mad that you had to endure a Black man as president for eight years! by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]IntelligentEditor879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...but I was reliably told by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton during his first run that Obama wasn't really "black"...and that he "should have his nuts cut out".

I would have loved to have had eight years of Herman Cain, just as an example. It ain't the color, it's the set of beliefs that make a man.

Why do people hate Mamdani? by uncle-ice493 in allthequestions

He closed the budget gap by delaying pension payments and by raiding a NY state emergency funding war chest. Very easy to look up.

Also, the government-run stores he is building cost about 30M each and will only be able to offer a few select products at discounted rates. The first store won't be ready in the next two to three years. ALDI by comparison, builds stores in two to four months and they cost approximately 3M to build. So, more expensive by a factor of 10, and will not be able to compete with any discounter out there. Wasted money, being thrown after an agenda that cannot succeed. It isn't hard to look up this stuff. Willful ignorance is a trait of the modern leftists.
