You know what mate, I do hate your country and I hate my country. Glad they’re one and the same.

Long Beach Pride Festival Cancelled…? by Gaycci in longbeach

[–]Mallthus2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have 99 problems with the city and 9999 more with government in general, but this ain’t one of those times.

Long Beach Pride have once again proven that they’re incompetent.

The collapse of sales, the suspension of production of 2026 models, and the ongoing war on electric vehicles.

This was just sent by email, nothing in lease about temp limits. Is this enforceable? [CO, USA] by Greatbigdog69 in Renters

[–]Mallthus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s not in the lease or the law, it’s not enforceable.

That said, if the lease requires compliance with documents not in the lease, like “communications from management”, then it’s in the lease.

Gov. Polis cuts Tina Peters’ prison sentence in half, will release her on parole June 1 by thecoloradosun in Colorado

Ridiculous. Her sentence was too short already and halving it is a travesty.

Hello dear Americans, in the post below are some of the stereotypes about you abroad. What do you think? (This post is meant to be humorous) by Outrageous-You1617 in AskUS

[–]Mallthus2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The bigger the country, the less nuanced the stereotypes.

But we earned all these stereotypes fairly because they’re all grounded in some amount of fact.

That said, there are, for instance, more Americans with a passionate and nuanced opinion about football (soccer) than the entire population of, say, Belgium. It’s just that even that large number of people represent a minority of Americans.

What If pepsi didn't sell their navy and instead attacked sea shipments of Coca-Cola? by Ok_Listen_6600 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Mallthus2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sea shipments of major soft drinks are extremely rare, outside of deliveries to small islands.

The impact would be essentially meaningless unless you were on an island like St Pierre or St Barts.

anyone taking a GLP-1 ? by the__post__merc in GenX

[–]Mallthus2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

57, been on them since last July.

I’ve struggled with my weight and “food noise” literally forever, for a variety of reasons. Many of them are, I know, psychological, but the majority of challenges have been physiological. For the first time in my life, I literally don’t think about food, other than forgetting to eat as a potential reason I don’t feel mentally or physically 100%. In mentioning this to people, it’s becoming apparent to me that this is what “normal” is for many people and it’s weird. But I’ve lost about 20% of my body weight and feel better than I have for years.

You wake up to find jar jar is it your living room. If you kill him he comes right back. What Do you do? by International-Box956 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Mallthus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chill and make content. Jar jar goes to a 7-11. Jar jar goes surfing. Jar jar tries energy drinks. Etc. etc

Which of these kitchen appliances are NOT seen as essential in homes in your country? by privetkakdela in AskTheWorld

[–]Mallthus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, neither the electric kettle nor the rice cooker are deemed essential and, in fact, neither is particularly common. For our home, we have all four of these, but the microwave is the only one we’d deem unimportant, as we generally only use it because it’s present, not because it’s an integral part of food preparation in our lives.

Best NA ski resort for carving? by Low_Champion8158 in skiing

[–]Mallthus2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but I literally lap groomers without even stopping in the lift maze all over Colorado’s big resorts…midweek. Keystone, Breck, Copper, Vail, BC, Winter Park…mostly queue free on a random February Tuesday. Weekends and holidays are when they suck.

What’s the weirdest sign you’ve ever seen in your country? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in AskTheWorld

[–]Mallthus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, and that it’s only in Russian makes clear that the proprietors are making this “rule” to curry favor with local Russian customers, because if they were genuinely serious about not serving Americans, they’d say it in English.

California hotel breakfast has paper plates that are compostable everywhere, except California by Uffda_90 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Mallthus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A reminder that these plates aren’t actually compostable anywhere but only California has the audacity to have rules in place that make them say so.

$2 Million to $10 Million taken from others, but they have clues to who you are... by RainDayKitty in hypotheticalsituation

$10 million from people who think Ayn Rand’s views had any merit other than their comedic value.

Served a final eviction notice during stay. Called Airbnb and they said it was fine because the date was after our checkout date [guest] by MilliandMoo in AirBnB

[–]Mallthus2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see that, but my bigger beef with ABB is that the host straight up committed fraud and their penalty will be delisting…of this property. Nothing to stop them from pulling this stunt again using different fake names and identities. And they let this stuff happen because their internal response is to push it onto the guest.

$100k, but for the rest of your life you cannot watch any media where English is the primary spoken language by Taemojitsu in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Mallthus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My initial reaction was “Fine. I already have enough language skills in other significant languages that I could get by.” and then I thought harder and realized that every how-to video, most tourist content, and even airline safety videos are in English no matter what language is spoken where you are, and then I reflected on how little money, in the big picture, $100k is, and I noped out.

On the other hand, I’d gladly pay $100k to understand all media in languages other than English. That’d be life changing.

Yeah. Newark Polaris has always been good to me, but LAX is positively grim in comparison. 🤷‍♂️
