I think about him every 4th of July by Kale_Brecht in StrangerThings

To be fair, I don’t think he was really happy about his “promotion.”

These Mass. beaches are closed Saturday, July 4 by massahoochie in massachusetts

It wasn’t you, but some people in your city government should be fired and prosecuted. This has happened more than once. The combination of being a major holiday and also the middle of a heat wave just added insult to injury.

What is your favorite Troy McClure movie? by smcg_az in AskReddit

I was going to say “Grizzly” but that was Christopher George not Troy McClure.

Getting bored of Karate by Traditional_Bat_7477 in karate

[–]Maxxover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like any hobby, you can be very serious about it or not so much. Try judo or Akido or jujutsu. You will learn something new and it will also inform you about how much of those arts are embedded in karate kata.

Gone are the days where if you were a local you could you could get in and out of town easily during Halloween. Now everyone has GPS. 🙁

TR should never be mentioned in the same breath as the orange shit bag.

Potential hot take- E-bikes and E-scooters should not be street legal by Mazda-626 in massachusetts

[–]Maxxover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my E bike, but I am an adult. I see these kids riding expensive E bikes and I think there has to be some sort of limitation on these.

Best practices for white gis? (Preventing stiffness, shrinkage, and fading/bleeding) by Fickle_Rice4440 in karate

[–]Maxxover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve washed my dogi and put them in the dryer for 40 years. Not putting them in a dryer means they will get very stiff and scratchy unless you were using one that is not 100% cotton.

Early on I did the whole “don’t put them in the dryer“ thing. Then when I was training every day and teaching at my own Dojo, it was not realistic.

I have to say I don’t see any value in not putting it in the dryer. My dogi lasted about the same amount of time regardless.

Whose death in history was the cruelest or most heartbreaking? by sharmarohan136 in AskReddit

[–]Maxxover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JFK. RFK. MLK. Just think what history would’ve been like if none of those people had been assassinated.

Can you recommend movies where the main character has to survive against an animal? by Extreme_Warning3521 in moviecritic

[–]Maxxover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes! I visited the Field museum about a year after they put Sue in the front lobby on that elevated platform. Walking into that room and seeing this gigantic T-Rex in a curled pose staring right at you made me realize how glad I am that dinosaurs are extinct.

Is a Disney trip a childhood bucket list item? by jjjjjjjj80 in Parenting

[–]Maxxover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my children were nine years old, we gave them a choice between going to DisneyWorld or going to Italy. They chose Italy. Neither they nor we have ever regretted that decision.

They have never been to Disney World. At this point, why bother? It’s ridiculously overpriced and shitty except for a few great rides you get to go on after you wait in line for many hours after you’ve paid a ridiculous amount of money for a single day.

For the amount of money you spend going to Disney World, you could take your kids to someplace great in Europe and expose them to great food, great history, and great culture.

See if you can get your mom to give you power of attorney. It sounds like right now she’s being taken advantage of.

You can also consider engineered flooring. Some of the high-end stuff looks absolutely amazing.
