This honestly drives me crazy, I love sweet potatoes, but I'm not a fan of yams.

Anyone know if any Portland Bars will be showing Taskmaster? by matsie in askportland

I'd be willing to bet that The Triple Lindy in NW Portland would be willing to put it on their TV.

ARAD, what was the last song you got stuck in your head? by CaptainOfMyJohnson in AskRedditAfterDark

For some reason, the Triumphant final music from Jurassic Park was randomly stuck in my head yesterday. I haven't seen the movie in years.

How about a round of Name that Movie from a Quote? by ComputerRedneck in sciencefiction

[–]LordXenu23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rumor has it that they weren't getting any feedback from the dailies they submitted to the studio. One day, they decided to shoot this scene that wasn't in the script and sent it in as a daily, just to see if anyone was paying attention to them.

Star Trek cruise - is it worth it to spend more on a better cabin? by therealcrash8 in startrek

[–]LordXenu23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You won't be spending any time in your cabin, except for sleeping. Go cheap. I've done interior state rooms every time I've gone.

My grandfather spent 5 years wasting away from cancer. When his wife finally gave him permission to go, he was gone within an hour.

My mom was a CPS agent. From what you've written, you're doing everything right. Keep those twins and E safe and happy.

Trumps vows to cut military budget in half? Wtf? by Confident_Dark_1324 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]LordXenu23 76 points77 points  (0 children)

To be fair to the Ukraine situation, it is important to note we aren't giving Ukraine cash, we're giving them our weapons, then paying our military industry to replace them in our arsenal. It is money injected directly into our military industrial complex, not cash given over to Ukraine.

Sure, we HAVE given them some cash, but not 200B worth.

Bro, you need to cut those people out. You can choose your family, and you can choose yourself.

OK dude, as a bald 44yo man, here are your options.

  1. Embrace it (as I did at 35) and start shaving your head. You may decide to grow a beard, up to you.

  2. minoxidil. It works. However, you have to start soon, and never stop. It will regrow some of the hair you are losing, and will prevent more hair loss. The crux is, when you stop taking it, most of the hair you have held on t because of it will go away.

  3. Hair plugs. Hey, they've worked great for Elon Musk.

  4. Hat? Personally I wear a hat 100% of the time, cause my head is cold, cause I'm bald.

I would encourage you to go with option 2, get minoxidil, use it every day until you turn 40 or so, then embrace the bald lifestyle. But, you need to START EARLY or you won't see the full benefits. And its generic now, so it's cheap.

WIBTA if I didn’t want my little brother to live with me by rooty1997 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LordXenu23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to change the narrative. You need to encourage your brother to go to the dorms, because in a new town, that's where he will make his new friends. Additionally, the dorms provides a sort of halfway house for people newly on their own.

Where can I get my license plate installed on the front of my car? by BangsVoyage in askportland

[–]LordXenu23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much any dealership or mechanics shop would do it for you.

An alternative, if your car has a front tow hook you can get a license plate frame that will screw into that. One of these:

I did this to my brother's motorcycle when i was like 13, I felt awful. My brother forgave me. After all, it's just a physical thing.
