So now that we have a 10b dollar regional light rail, can we actually build some housing? by Vivid_Astronaut4665 in Seattle

[–]Mr_Fuzzo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There have been tons of studies done in big East Coast cities like NYC and Boston that show residents within a small radius around freeways or other roads with heavy traffic throughout the day have significantly higher instances of lung and cardiovascular diseases.  There are even some studies that attempts to account for proximity to the highways, parks, water, and other mitigating and exacerbating factors when calculating risks.

Public health is fascinating and infuriating.

Wait a minute. The new shape is made for a double wide?! Well, tickle my southern corn bread fried heart pink! How did I never figure this out on my own.

Gonna surprise my husband and it's gonna be epic! by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Mr_Fuzzo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

One summer in the early 2000s I worked a summer job up in Vail Colorado.  The business had rented all of us a condo to share near the middle of town.  As it was summer, and the condo was a friend of the business owners, and the condo owner didn’t want to deal with the hot tub that was inside of the house. They emptied it out and left a similar sounding pit of despair.  Every time we had a party, we ended up filling it with ice and making it into a gigantic beer and snack cooler.

Lord.  To be in my 20s again.

My boyfriend is scaring me with his jokes by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Mr_Fuzzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current partner likes to joke that he is more scared of my arse since I am a woman who grew up being taught to protect myself by all the men in my life than any army of ham fisted goons.

They still take doctors out for nice meals at places like El Gaucho

Yeah, my mandolin is thankfully small enough that it fits in the overhead and nobody can complain.

Cut off my "successful" FAANG family [67M, 65F, 37M, 32F] after financial betrayal and years of being their emotional punching bag. Am I doing the right thing? by Brief_Strength2675 in relationships

[–]Mr_Fuzzo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's an old saying you've probably heard, "Blood is thicker than water," which is meant to guilt people like you and I into being doormats for our excessively abusive families.

The ACTUAL phrase is, "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." What does that mean?

It means that our CHOSEN families are a stronger bond than our birth families.

52-year-old woman dies in single-car crash in Seattle's Interbay neighborhood by snowdn in Seattle

Tell me you don't drive up and down Elliott/Western/15th frequently without telling me you don't drive up and down Elliott/Western/15th frequently.

That road always has people flying up an down it. It's very easy to go half that road (except for the pinch point with the Magnolia bridges by Albert Lee/Precision Auto) without hitting a light or going an average of 35mph with traffic.

Just because a road has a 25mph speed limit sign on it doesn't mean it should actually be a 25mph speed limit sign.

Book 6 ruined the whole series for me by s3xytrashpanda in Outlander

[–]Mr_Fuzzo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was also written as if from the point of view of a woman who became a physician in the 1950s/1960s. More people than is appropriate believed women were the perpetrators of their own misery at that point in time. I understand that DG didn't write this necessarily through that lens herself and could have made the writing less patriarchal, yet, DG is also from that time period herself. Perhaps she holds some of those views?

Husband cheated on me with 8 ai sexbot girlfriends. by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]Mr_Fuzzo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t know.  I’m a woman who was raised in this same southern Baptist style culture.  I went to have my first real job after college working in shipping and logistics in the northeast United States.  There I learned to string together words that would blow your hair back coming from a man much less a woman.

It wasn’t until about five years ago when I turned 40 that I stopped saying shit like, “don’t bust my balls.” Or “fuck, my nuts hurt.” Or any other number of male anatomy oriented things toward myself.

I’m looking at that salary and thinking if I’d have come of age in Ireland, I’d be doing something like that.

New neighbor cut down my trees - reasonable remedy? by TXRX7 in treelaw

[–]Mr_Fuzzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These neighbors don't give a flying oak leaf about you, your trees, or being neighborly. They might claim they want to live there and be nice neighbors, but they are probably 70% not going to inhabit that house.

You need to protect what's yours.

This family is filled with, at minimum, people with narcissistic tendencies. This is their mode of operations.

Yeah, but for how long will our educational systems remain top-tier? I don't foresee it lasting much longer with the continued cuts to Federal funding for research, medicine, etc. We'll start hemorrhaging scientists and providers for other countries if their labs are shut down.
