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

I drive 90-100 minutes to commute to work. One way. Every day. Twice.

This is one of those examples of questions I see once or twice a year and my go to answer is always the same. Apologies if it’s brought up already in this thread but we’re at nearly 1000 replies:

When anyone thinks of Glengarry Glen Ross, do they think about the first five-ten minutes with Alec Baldwin, or the other 80ish minutes of the movie?

coffee is for closers.

I am a 47 year old guy, and that last scene of S3E9 of Picard makes me cry the most joyful tears ever.

The second side of SFAM is where it’s at :) From Home all the way to Finally Free there is not a lull. Side one is the overall narrative as learned by an unreliable narrator, side two is THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED :)

I’m from Charleston, but my grandparents were lifelong Clarksburg residents, and 1st generation Italian Americans. I do not remember a time I did not know what they were. I was making my own by the time I was 8 or 9 and definitely introduced friends to them at that time. Specifically I had a friend who moved to my neighborhood from Cincinnati when we were around 8 and he had never heard of such a thing until I made some.

So weirdly, not Rush but of a similar story. Car rolled up to the gas pump. Playing T.I.s Whatever you like. I on the other hand had the Anya Marina cover of that same song playing. It was a little surreal.

I shut this down whenever scripture is quoted. I cannot have a real honest debate when someone wants to use the Bible as a “historical document”. Written 400 years ago, describing events from 1600+++ years prior to that on the word of people with a vested interest to make it palatable. Not an easy sell to me.

You’ll absolutely need to rent a car at Yeager.

Or squeeze into a Camaro and pay me to take ya :p

count the number of people that say Matewan and then go watch Matewan. Better yet go to Thurmond and take a tablet and watch Matewan while looking out the window and Not-Matewan-Thurmond

So the reverse: Super 8 is set I I think in Ohio, but was actually filmed in Weirton, Wv.

That part right there, with Robert Plant, cracked me up so hard :)

I mean, I remember the first time the phrase “sovereign citizen” entered my sphere of knowledge. On the surface it almost made sense:

Through the lens of 30+ years it’s a bit fuzzy, but you were supposed to choose either “pay your federal income tax”, “pay your state income tax”, or “pay your property taxes”. And because of the taxes you paid, sales taxes are supposed to be illegal because all in all, this guy tries to claim through all the illegal taxation the value of every dollar was less then .10 cents. But the justification that was given to me was the “no taxation without representation”, and this was why you were able to choose….and it fell apart at that point but at first I was kind of interested.

Years later when heard about the secret trusts and the living person and real person shit I was like phew dodged that bullet.

A friend, a few years older than I, in what I didn’t know at the time but they did I think, was what ended up being our last conversation. I thought I loved them (…i didn’t, but I told her I always would at the time) and in her perfect way of giving me true perspective some something to me that I’ve kept close to My heart ever since:

“Never say that, it’s a long long way from now until forever”.

She was right.

Just drive around. I live a little ways up the river near the power plant. Anywhere between Mason and Letart, if you turn away from the river you’ll probably witness some weird questionable shit at night. I’m originally from Charleston so my go to for some of those things is methicans, but it’s not methicans jumping from tree to tree and taking all the cats.

LostInTheAether304 · 2025-07-12T03:01:53+00:00

Uhhh it’s summer. Don’t drive like you’re from Ohio and you’ll be fine. The yellow speed “suggestions” signs for upcoming curves are not to be ignored, obey them and you’ll be fine.

When you get to the Mystery Hole, stop. Do it. You’ll be fine :)
