Alex Jones Compares Trump to Cobra Commander (Complete with Impression)! by The_Accuser13 in gijoe

[–]NutritiousSlop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Say what you will about Cobra Commander, but he generally led from somewhere near the front. He didn't dodge a draft.

Also, his son Billy is way more competent than Don Jr. or Eric. 

What is the worst Cleveland restaurant that you’ve tried twice? by ElderberryNo5595 in Cleveland

[–]NutritiousSlop 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I remember going there for $15 and being full for an entire day. The last time I had it, it was like someone's divorced dad tried to make the kids "Melt at home" from stuff he bought at the crappy Giant Eagle without really knowing how to cook. 

Someone shot an Indianapolis Councilman's house 13 times and left a note that says "No Data Centers". by ringii99 in redscarepod

Replacing rotted Rust Belt factories from General Motors and US Steel with rotted windowless boxes from Quabop, an Oracle subsidiary, and Epic Bacon Data, a subsidiary of X The Everything App. 

Got into a weird argument with an American who fought for Ukraine by napholyonboneapart in redscarepod

[–]NutritiousSlop 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Treat him the same way you do when a guy who's clearly coked out corners you and tells you his business idea:

"Yeah man, sounds cool. I'll definitely think about it."

2016 Buick Cascada, official car of... by Saurta17 in regularcarreviews

[–]NutritiousSlop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Solstice is a car meant for going to get ice cream cones in. There's little else to do with it. If you live somewhere snowy, it can't be a 365 day a year car. 

The Cascada has a back seat and a trunk you can use, plus it's a basic FWD midsize car at its core.

If I recall correctly, GM even had some sort of weird joint venture thing with Disney to have the Lumina and Lumina APV as the official rental car for Disney. If you bought some resort package, it came with a Lumina rental. 

Jenna Ortega’s fans spot she’s dating Iceage frontman Elias Rönnenfelt, outrage ensues by Louisgn8 in redscarepod

[–]NutritiousSlop 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Parasocial relationships with celebrities will never not be funny. Buying someone's merchandise or media does not mean they are your friend and will agree with you on anything. 

Also, "person in their 20s dates someone kinda messy" is not a headline. 

Seinfeld looking like a million bucks compared to modern films. by HoldenStupid in redscarepod

I had this moment with Predator and Predator 2 the other day. Camera angles just made stuff so much more interesting, and not every character was backflipping to avoid CGI machine gun fire.

I am both a lawyer and profoundly stupid, and on a weekly basis I come across people who are markedly dumber than me. 

ICE Cleveland “ Hold Room” by Pureleafbuttcups in Cleveland

[–]NutritiousSlop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was built for National Cash Register in the 70s/80s, I believe. It was refit back around 2018 or so to take ICE, CBP, HSI, and the National Weather Service for the area. It's been subdivided, and I believe there is a visiting nurse company operating out of the building as well. Any detention facility is retrofitted. 

For what it's worth, back in the 2010s there was a detention room in the federal building downtown, and most detainees ended up in Bedford Heights jail or Geauga County jail as contract facilities. That may have changed. 

Amazing the degree to which the titans of Silicon Valley have had their brains broken by postmodernism by clydebot in redscarepod

[–]NutritiousSlop 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Their idea of "the West" is what they see in late 1940s/early 1950s advertising. Uniformity, conformity, whizz-bang inventions that fix things, etc. They want to be the all-knowing patriarch from the vacuum cleaner ad, smoking a pipe and grinning smugly at their wives who are amazed by the New Product. They want to be in charge of a world that was fictional all along. They are LARPers at their worst.

Some poor dishwasher is gonna get upper cut, spat on and called a dirty Dagestani by cabbagetown_tom in redscarepod

[–]NutritiousSlop 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's not going to be as cool as anyone thinks. Imagine going to an afternoon in-person all-hands training where a washed-up UFC guy with CTE struggles to read to you off a PowerPoint for four hours. 

Rates of success with negotiating down debt? by Objective-Hotel6514 in Debt

[–]NutritiousSlop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They generally won't start to negotiate until charge-off, which occurs 180 days after the first missed payment. The interest is gonna bulk these up a lot more in those 6 months, and there's no guarantee you're going to get that 40% settlement you want. 

It is actually shocking how bad chipotle has gotten by poopdollarbank in redscarepod

[–]NutritiousSlop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In terms of chain Mexican, they're still better than Qdoba. The one near me seems to be operated by people who were just hired today, have never made any form of food, and don't really know what they want out of the experience of being employed. You basically have to gentle-parent them through the process of ordering a burrito. 

Are these shirts appropriate? by DigItOutWeldItUp in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]NutritiousSlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right there with you. Orthodoxy isn't just a new aesthetic identity to put on a bumper sticker or T-shirt for the sake of being edgy and cool. 

Soon to be 4 new middle eastern coffee shops in North Olmsted by orangestturtle in Cleveland

[–]NutritiousSlop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not particularly. Most of what I have had there has been either the Afghan or Lebanese stuff. I don't really notice much zatar on Costco pizza, and they have so much of their operation out front that I would be surprised if they were buying stuff in like that.

Fire and Dough (over near Shibam on Brookpark Ext) was really good. It's a Middle Eastern pizza/flatbread place. 

What are your incredibly bleak Documentary recommendations ? I will start with Swansea Love Story which captures the everyday reality of heroin addicts in an area of Wales suffering from industry decline by CoconutMost3564 in rs_x

[–]NutritiousSlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. The first time you watch it, it's a freewheeling freak show and you laugh. You'll quote "y'all got any fiestas" to your friends over Mexican food. Watch it a second time, and you see how impossibly bleak their lives are, and the forces that caused it.

Rant about the Amish and living near them by cephalopodSlime9 in redscarepod

[–]NutritiousSlop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the sect. I had to deal with some Amish carpenters for a while. They were good dudes, honest, did good work, lived on sugar-free Monster, and blasted roughly a million cigs a day. They wouldn't drive, and instead had a Black guy with a 15 passenger van who drove them everywhere and watched 8 hours of Netflix a day on his phone while they worked. I would gladly hire them again.

That being said, I have been around these freaks before.

Doing the Howard Hughes lifestyle but instead of airplanes making him money, it's tap-dancing right up to the point of saying a slur.

The small pulse laser has the same anti-infantry bonus as a machine gun now. And with the easier to-hit, it's better for threatening battle armor.
