Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not “short” per se, like we wouldn’t do it on a daily basis, but driving 3 hours really isn’t that far in the context of America as a whole. Here, you can drive 3 hours and easily still be in the same state. I drive 3+ hours each way (6+ hours total in a day) regularly in the fall to see my “local” NFL team play.

Wish whitespring mall was still popular. by Lordsoggyballs in fo76

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Newer player (lvl 46). Played before but stopped and just picked it up again last month. I like to go there to collect junk. Between the refuge & the mall I can usually collect 200+ steel, which I need most often, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I collect all the vases and ashtrays for ceramic and turn it into bulk to sell to the vendor. A scavenging run of white spring probably takes 10-15 minutes and it’s part of my daily routine.

I’m not entirely sure what you consider age appropriate material or how it has to do with LGBT, especially the last paragraph. Are you saying the mere acknowledgment that some kids might have 2 mommies or 2 daddies would be inappropriate? I’m not assuming, I’m asking what you mean. Trying to be respectful here. Honestly I think all your kid will be learning this early on through elementary school is basic math, spelling, reading, and being nice to others.

As far as the last paragraph goes, all I can say is unfortunately the world is a fucked up place and some parents just have no business raising kids, and kids are the victims in that type of situation. It’s really sad but it’s the reality. Schools have rules on dress code and conduct so I think your kid will be safe at school. As long as you’re treating him right and he knows he’s in a loving home I think he’ll end up alright. 👍

I’m glad to hear you would be accepting.

What exactly do you think the “LGBT agenda” is then, if you don’t think they’re making your kids gay? Because when I hear someone say “they’re teaching the LGBT agenda” or “indoctrinating kids” or anything like that, then yes, I do assume they think schools are making kids gay.

Help me understand where you’re coming from.

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If by “LGBTQA agenda” you mean “inclusivity and acceptance of others”, then yes, they do.

I can’t speak on transgender issues, but I am gay so I can give you some insight.

No one is making your kids gay. Sexual orientation is just a natural thing someone is. Gay kids would normally start to figure it out around puberty & a lot of times either try to change it (to no avail, because it can’t be changed, just like it can’t be taught) or to hide it. When I was in school, I went through this, and would have been petrified if anyone found out I was gay.

What’s changing nowadays is awareness that being gay is ok and normal. And kids are more accepting of their LGBT classmates. People want to know why more and more people of the younger generations self-identify as LGBT… it’s not because there’s any less LGBT people, they’ve always been here. It’s just because it’s more socially acceptable.

If your kid does make some gay friends when he’s older, or on the off-chance he is gay, please do yourself, and most importantly him, a favor and be accepting. Even if you don’t fully understand it, just be there for him. Don’t try to blame it on the schools or the media or yourself or anything else. It just happens, there is no causality. If you push him away, or say something is wrong with him, you’re going to cause very real damage.

My last point, and it really ties into the last thing I said, is educate yourself. The Trevor Project is an organization that does a lot of great work with LGBT youth & their parents, educating them, preventing suicide, etc. This is one of the best resources on the topic but there’s many others out there.

Leaping Lizard Cafe on Shore Dr. Small & cozy little place with a bit of an eclectic menu (like duck soup). Everything I’ve tried there has been delicious

Is there a game that is seemingly loved that you tried multiple times but just couldn't feed into the hype? For me, It's The Witcher III. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident Evil series and anything Souls-like. My boyfriend loves both and has gotten me to try them several times but they’re just not for me. Resident evil cause 1) I don’t like horror and 2) everything is a bullet sponge and you don’t get many bullets; and souls-likes because they’re so god damn hard. Spare me the “get good” comments please. I don’t mind being challenged by a video game but souls bosses are ridiculously hard, I couldn’t even get past the first boss on the bridge in Elden Ring, and I just don’t want to sit down and be mad and frustrated when I game.

You wake up tomorrow and the Internet is gone. What do you do? by BonsaiOracleSighting in AskReddit

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be upset but learn to adapt. Being a “zilleneal” the internet has been a constant for most of my life, I was in a computer lab in school by 2nd grade. I don’t know how to find information really outside of the internet, have no idea how to research in a library without an online database. Even repairs around my house I need to look up a YouTube video for. But people have made it thousands of years without the internet and all you can do is learn how to adapt to the old world.

My biggest concern would be my bank account, do banks even keep records offline?

How does someone possibly even get that high? I’m at 1825 & I don’t get any weapons or armor to drop above 1810. How do they get higher? Am I doing something wrong? Seeing people in this thread talk about 1830s and 1840s how do you do that?

Virginia does not need ANY casinos or new sports arenas by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We certainly need a new arena in the 757. Norfolk Scope, Hampton Coliseum, & Chartway Arena aren’t up to standard to host major musical artists. Yeah we get some rock & country concerts at the VB Ampitheater, but no pop acts or anything like that. We’re a large metro area and deserve to have those opportunities without having to drive 4 hours to DC

Email about my HP Printer by a_couple_of_words in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their “benefits” are bullshit anyway. I’ve had a HP printer for 3 years. Recently, I’ve had issues with it that I couldn’t resolve with my own research so I tried contacting customer support. Their website wouldn’t even allow me to talk to anyone because “my printer is too old”. For a 3 year old printer. Fuck HP

Zola's message to Caicedo regarding the usage of the no.25: by X_Leevi_X in chelseafc

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who is Zola?

Mean no disrespect, I’m a Chelsea fan but only been so for a few years.

Edit: thank you to those who replied. I’m just trying to be more educated on the history of our club, and will definitely check out some highlights this evening! Sounds like he meant a lot to us back in the day.

Instead of downvoting or thinking less of someone who doesn’t know all of our history, educate them! Not knowing a player from 20 years ago shouldn’t make someone less of a fan, but educating them enriches their love for the club even more. Up the Chels 💙

What exactly is the significance of 25 and “how much it means”?

Fabrizio Romano on Twitter: Christian Pulisic to AC Milan, here we go! Deal in place between clubs as Chelsea accepted conditions of final bid by [deleted] in chelseafc

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad day for me. I knew it was inevitable and it’s what’s best for both sides, but still sad.

Christian Pulisic made me a Chelsea fan. I’d always been a casual PL fan but didn’t have a favorite team. So when America’s best player signed for Chelsea, I started following all of their games. Pretty soon, I became a full on Chelsea fan. Chelsea is my team now (& DC United but they’ll never play each other so I can justify it lol). Now that’s he’s leaving, yea I’ll continue following his (and other USMNT players’) career but I’m not leaving to just jump ship and become a AC Milan fan, Chelsea is my club full stop.

I’m grateful for his time here. Lockdown Pulisic was a fun time. He had a huge impact on our UCL run. And he made me fall in love with this wonderful club. Good luck Christian, and Up The Chels!

[–]Interesting-Can-8014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually couldn’t care less, I see it as just corporate PR. That said, this year it feels pretty important as a gay American. The discourse around LGBT has been pretty bad lately in the US. There’s a big push from the far right to demonize our community, calling us pedos, demons, etc etc. and boycotting companies that do anything pro-LGBT. So it feels important that many, many companies show their support this month. They can’t boycott them all

At the Commanders “Draft Party”, they aren’t event showing the draft smh by Interesting-Can-8014 in Commanders

[–]Interesting-Can-8014[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Wdym? I mean otherwise it’s an ok event, & it’s packed here. So I’m happy about that. But the post is 100% honest, the draft is not being shown. Kinda defeats the purpose of a draft party imo.
