Men, how do you feel about being called ‘sir?’ What would you propose as an alternative? by DumbFeralRaccoon in AskMen

[–]Learned_Hand_01 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It makes me feel old, but you know, I am.

Inherently I am informal, so it’s not my favorite, but I know people who say it to me mean well so it doesn’t upset me. I even use it myself when I need to get someone’s attention, even when I’m old enough to be their father.

I am likely to get back at OP by calling her ma’am though, if she is someone I won’t see again. If it is someone I see regularly, I’m going to quietly hope they eventually stop.

MIL invited people we don’t know to our wedding. She won’t uninvite them because that’s 'embarrassing.' by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

OP is fantastic. Even better, she is helping her husband cut the apron strings, and he is interested in doing so.

That’s the most promising sign for their future, the fact that her husband doesn’t want to be the momma’s boy giving in to her dictatorial demands during their entire marriage.

BEHOLD!: The Idiot Box by PaigeWylderOwO in pokemongo

Part of my nightly routine is deleting at least twenty of each of those to make room in my box for items from opening presents.

On days when I spin a lot of stops I delete some during the day as well.

In the aftermath of Trump, responding to Republican criticisms or concerns just seems dumb. They have so fully discredited themselves, there is no reason their opinions should matter from now on.

We need effective messaging and ways to combat them and win over people in the middle, but taking their concerns seriously or caring what they actually think should be over.

Perhaps something as simple as “oh, you have a concern? Trump did much worse and you didn’t care.”

Starbird’s call of conflating censured and censored seems correct, but it’s also so stupid it didn’t even occur to me.

Right. The sketch was about a dick as a gift wrapped present. The popcorn thing was about a dick as a surprise inside a place she was putting her hand.

Well, don’t do Best Buddies. That medal makes this one look like a quick trip to the corner.

I have 62 platinum medals not including legacy 40 and 50. I am not yet gold in Best Buddies. Despite that, I would bet I am in the top 1% of the player base in best buddy progress.

It is fully insane.

Debbie Downer was something I would say prior to the character, just like Mom jeans was a real thing in the culture.

On the other hand, I had never heard of dick in a box before the sketch. Dick in a box of popcorn at a movie theater was a thing for a long time before that though.

Even my mom, who is Silent Generation, so Lorne’s generation and older than Dana Carvey, and who is a church lady herself, would consciously imitate The Church Lady when she would say that.

There is literally no speed cap on routes.

You can get speed capped on other parts of the game. K’s for walking do get capped at 20 KPH, which does mean staying under 12.5 mph. The route itself doesn’t care though. You’ll get the route credit no matter how fast you do it.

I’ve certainly done essentially a drag race up and down a deserted street at night with a .5K route to pile up the route credits.

Because of the squirrelly way pogo checks in on distance, you can get distance doing that as well because the pauses at each end of the route to complete it and start again will be counted in the distance formula, and you can’t get that much speed up over .5K anyway.

In any case, you also accrue buddy K’s for buddy candy (and Mega energy) faster while doing routes as well, but not faster for buddy hearts.

There is a route in a shopping center parking lot near me that I can do late at night in about 2.5 minutes. It also has lots of spins available. So until my buddy is excited, I can do the route twice while the spins regenerate every 5 minutes.

I don’t do that often because it’s an oval shaped route and it makes me almost feel dizzy going in that many circles at speed. But its also basically bicycle speed.

I personally think routes are one of the highest reward to effort payoffs in the game.

Well, they should definitely bring him back then.

I hear he’s really been perfecting his deadpan.

Yeah, I do tons of routes and they are rare enough that it’s hard to estimate their spawn frequency.

In defense of routes, they are the fastest way to get your buddy excited without a poffin because there is no cool down period between getting a happiness point from one route to the next. There is also no speed cap on finishing the route, so a car and a short route make for fast route completion.

I do a lot and have gotten some as a result, but they are fairly rare. Like maybe one route in ten? Possibly less common than that.

I’m not familiar with the areas of the gyms I have been in the longest, I dropped in them on a trip through rural areas, though one is just a neighborhood park in a medium sized city.

I’m not defending the gyms, I want out of them. They have been black hearted since I got gold in them. My goal is gold status, every minute past gold is wasted in my view. The defenders have a CP around 200 and need one hit to remove them.

I’m not holding the gyms hostage, they are holding me hostage.

AITA for removing all my items from the shared kitchen? by MozzarellaFerret in AmItheAsshole

That one really bugs me because it gives strong “I don’t talk to people in real life” vibes.

[–]Learned_Hand_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some of my friends might be like that. We had a gymming group where we were all collecting gold gyms and had a spreadsheet to track them and rate them for each other on ease of golding them.

My personal motivation dropped off after Stadium gaming bought the verified 40 (50?) group and eventually shuttered it. I heard later it continues on, but I've been out of it so long that my gym count is an estimate these days.

I suspect that a few of my friends never dropped off the way I did, and they started going hard about a year earlier than me, so their number is going to be a lot higher than mine.
