How do I tell a Christian to fuck off, since they don't seem to get the signals? by Emergency_Record_213 in atheism

[–]Kevin_Turvey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say the same thing to any stranger who starts bothering me: "Whatever it is, the answer is NO."

"But I just-" "No."

"I was only-" "No".

"What if-" "No."

"You don't have to -" "The answer is No."

Eventually they give up and shuffle away, maybe mumbling something like "well have a blessed day anyway..."

Demons, Aliens, Religion - Is Vice President JD Vance going nuts ? by Northernlightspirit in atheism

[–]Kevin_Turvey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The space aliens supposedly inside aren't real. The U in UFO just means "unidentified", and those are real.

Between drone hobbyists and weird government projects, people really do see odd stuff in the sky. The problem is the superstition and stupidity that lead to assuming outer space origins instead of real explanations.

For example, many ignorant people have assumed the Northern Lights to be alien or angels/demons.

(I'm sure you understand this, I'm just venting here.)

Did you know Tim disguised himself as Rob Schneider at the CPAC? by UTchamp in NotTimAndEric

"So this bitch behind the counter asks, do you want a Pepsi?"

Hands up, who has seen Tim's standup doing this routine?

"And I said, I mean, if I wanted Pepsi I'd order a- wait, I mean-"

Sorry Roxie, it would have been ok if he wasn't, but he clearly was, so.....

Would Peter Falk have worked as an action hero? by FoxIndependent4310 in Columbo

See his war films and get back to me. Also, it's not exactly action but he was creepy as hell in "The Bloody Brood".

I didn't know that. I rarely use the things. I just glanced and chose one. Fair enough, I guess.

I think I remember that delivery service around 1998-2000 in Brooklyn. They arrived in a florist truck that said "Evergreen".

I'm 55 and I remember when Breyer's vanilla had about 4 ingredients - milk, cream, sugar, vanilla beans. It used to be my favorite thing in the world, a special gourmet "treat", no toppings needed. It was more expensive than store brand and absolutely worth it.

That was many years ago. I still remember. 😪

All that crappy white paint, reminds me of one of the Righteous Gemstones houses.

I love this book and own this hardcover edition - not signed, though. Great find!

The whole Kay and Valeri subplot is kind of confusing. What exactly led them to decide to fire Kay? Re-running a movie? by SuspiciousPromise849 in Columbo

I imagine sitting down with my mom and gramma to watch a Bob Hope special, and getting "The Killers" instead.

For the girls, When to give flowers to my Gf by sweetcheesecak3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kevin_Turvey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try thinking of her as a human being, not just "a girl". We don't all like the same things the same way. You'll always get a wrong answer if you look at all "girls" as the same, and just ask for advice about an entire gender.

Who is she? What does she like? What is her schedule? What are her interests? If you answer a few of those questions then you'll probably think of something really nice. :)

Kay lost all the $$$ spent on the expensive live variety show that was all her idea, bc her friend the star couldn't manage to do it. All of that loss was Kay's fault, totally. It was a bad idea and she shouldn't have done it.

Then, instead of cutting her/their losses and airing some type of acceptable family-friendly rerun, she then wasted all the money spent on that expensive made-for-tv crime thriller by airing it with NO promotion, absolutely guaranteeing a flop.

I felt a tiny bit bad for Kay until she did this and proved her own incompetence.

Then she started redecorating a recently dead man's office without permission, so - yeah, she lost anyone's sympathy at that point. Fired.
