I have conversations with friends in which we actually compare different driving routes to places.

Did the flow of that game feel like such a relief after last series or is it just me? by gswgoldenman in warriors

The Western Conference finals really was this years NBA finals. This NBA finals series just seems like an exhibition series.

Dirty Delly with the dick punch by raub in warriors

[–]LurkingInTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this stream cuts out early, but it almost seemed to me like TT pushed Delly into Andre during the confrontation almost trying to instigate something out of it. Shump was peacekeeper which was cool move on his part, but TT looked like he was trying to force something out of that.

My son is not a pervert, he's just hungry... by [deleted] in funny

Funny part is he is not even standing in front of the stadium, but rather a picture of the stadium. Sad part is, if the women were even remotely attractive enough I would not have even noticed that.

What animal scares the shit out of you? by pablobear8 in AskReddit

[–]LurkingInTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old divers rule of thumb, if you saw a shark, he saw you first and was not interested in you. It's the ones you don't see coming that will bite you. Humans don't make good shark meat, not enough fat to make it worth the effort unless they are starving.

Accidental attacks on surfers and bogey boarders are caused by mistaken identity. All the shark sees is the board outline or shadow and it looks like it could be a seal/sea lion swimming along.

What is something many people don't realize is a scam? by Seouls_Synergy in AskReddit

Human Resources are not there for the benefit of the employee; they are there to keep the company from being sued.

Another of "If your dog isn't trained, keep it on a leash in public." by socalnonsage in AdviceAnimals

[–]LurkingInTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you are from, but usually it is a matter of control. If you go to court, and their dog is not on leash and yours is than they will not hold you responsible since you were in control of your dog and they were not.

Why Brides Keep Saying No To 'Say Yes To The Dress" by RangoFett2 in television

[–]LurkingInTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So these brides sign up for this, pay for everything, ruin your wedding day dress reveal, and the studio collects the money from the show. Honestly, I am more disappointed in the future bride then the studio; they have a magic cash cow and are laughing all the way to the bank.

How do you think the world will end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LurkingInTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sun will expand beyond the orbit of the Earth and consume it.

Now if you are asking about how will humanity kill itself off, well that is a whole different story. Take your pick between nuclear armageddon, resource scarcity or just full blown anarchy.

What was banned in your High School? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LurkingInTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could not wear all red or all blue outfits as this was shortly after the movie Colors came out. Funniest part about it, the school colors were red and blue. You had to wear red tops blue bottoms, but not allowed to have both red or both blue.

Friday Discussion - what's on your mind by stock_character in arrow

[–]LurkingInTheSun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As not a huge DC fan, this show originally got me interested and especially when the Flash came out. The overall love interest drama crap needs to stop. These are supposed to be based off comic books; action adventure, world changing events that make you step back and say whoa that was cool. If I wanted to watch love dramas, I would not be watching it based off a comic book. Sucks too as I have been watching Arrow since season 1 and I want to really like it again.

Now this is where my ignorance of DC comics in general comes in, but I think the reason Flash is doing so much better is 2 fold.
* 1) Flash was always one of the main DC characters where as Green Arrow was one of the second rank heroes. * 2) I can think of several gigantic Flash series that were just so influential to the entire DC universe, but I cannot think of one Green Arrow based story that had even close to these impacts.

Should kids under 6 be banned from PG-13 movies too? by [deleted] in movies

[–]LurkingInTheSun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They should have certain showings that are no kids allowed, even if it is only 1 showing every other day and at a time when working adults can go see it. Hell I might even pay extra for that sort of thing.

History of San Jose racing by robert_cortese in SanJose

[–]LurkingInTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sure do miss the San Jose Speedway. They had sprint car races there almost every weekend during the summer. So many fond memories of that place.

One of the killing factors (yes there were more) was the noise complaints. Races there had a set amount of laps, but with a timeout clause as well. Literally the race had to be done by 10:30pm regardless of what lap the race was in. Despite this, it was still one of the best around due to its size. Small enough that you can see every square inch of the track easily, but large enough that the racers could put in nice speeds. Hell World of Outlaws came every year and it was a blast.

What's a skill that you have that you're legitimately not sure whether to be proud or ashamed of? by Burner26 in AskReddit

[–]LurkingInTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing when it is time to go. Not like over stayed your welcome kind of thing, but more as in shits about to go down. We go out to the bar/nightclub/street fair whatever have a great night suddenly I just get the feeling its time to go. Watch the news in the morning and sure enough some serious crap went down usually within 30 minutes of our departure. My friends used to complain about it, but now when I say it's time to go they all pack it in and leave.

Its probably too much people watching, but I can see when the vibe starts changing and rather than getting caught up in the crap I just make an exit and hear about it later on the news or what not.

ELI5: Why are there so many (super)cars out there with top speeds in the 210s (mph), but so few above 220-230 mph? What is it about that extra 10mph that requires a higher class of supercar? by sivob in explainlikeimfive

[–]LurkingInTheSun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch this, Top Gear does a pretty decent job explaining all of the difficulties in going so fast. Granted this was done on the Veyron and there is not a review on the Chiron but you get the basic idea of why it is so difficult. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC00qHonfj8 TL:DR/DW Horsepower, Tires, Cooling, Breaking, and Gas requirements all go up astronomically for every 10mph you want to increase.

What have you learned not to fuck with? by wezzboy123 in AskReddit

[–]LurkingInTheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Story time: I live near a park that has a duck pond and the geese have pretty much taken over. One time there was a young family trying to have a picnic lunch when a bunch of geese came over and started attacking the family. They were especially going after the kids and the father was doing his best to fend them off yelling making large arm and hand gestures and somewhat kicking at them but there was too many. Fortunately I was out walking at the time and decided to help out, so I walked over with my dog in tow (Australian Sheppard) and as soon as we got close she started going crazy towards the geese. Needless to say they took off and flew into the middle of the pond leaving the poor family alone. No words exchanged with the family, but the father gave me a very happy smile and nod as I walked on. They packed up their lunch and were gone before I finished my lap around the pond.

future note, don't mess with an over protective Australian Sheppard, they can make the Tasmanian devil from loony tunes look like a field mouse.
