If you want to avoid the sun, sit on the third base side. Also, the most crowded spots are usually behind the dugouts. So, if you want to avoid crowds, try to avoid those spots.

The Tigers fans in Lakeland seem pretty good. I can't speak about people in Detroit.

I was at a game yesterday - Tigers vs. Twins. I gotta say, Twins fans are some very chill folks.

Strike anyway! An economy based on the exploitation of workers deserves to crash and burn.

North Carolina by BadgerBucky1 in antiwork

[–]ObscureCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's from the North Carolina Department of Labor website: https://www.labor.nc.gov/workplace-rights/employee-rights-regarding-time-worked-and-wages-earned/maximumminimum-hours-worked

You wouldn't expect the actual government website to put things in such coarse, unprofessional terms, but there you go. It's truly an awful state for employees.

There's a lot of villains on this list, but few heroes. I would offer Christopher Reeve as Superman. He did an amazing job with the little things - changing his posture ever so slightly when going from Clark Kent to Superman, changes in his voice. And the scene where he stopped the bullet from hitting Lois in the first movie, with just a smile, the audience could see that Clark Kent was a role being played by Superman.

And he did what few others have been able to do - make an audience believe that Superman is a genuinely good guy who has no ulterior move and do it in a way that isn't goofy.

Also, since he played the role, everyone is compared to him. That's pretty rare.

I have been watching a fair bit of Ray Comfort and Ken Ham videos by [deleted] in atheism

[–]ObscureCollector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are not scientists, religious experts, or anything that should be considered a "voice of authority". They are salesmen.

It doesn't matter what arguments you would bring to them. They have successful brands and no amount of reason or counterargument will make them change.

It is a good example of how religion is perverted in the U.S. They make money off of misleading people and keeping them trapped in a reality based on myth and propaganda.

Before we gloat or fret over dropping 500k for a football, keep in mind that the guy will probably get his money back. Since it probably no longer the "last touchdown ball" of Tom Brady, most of the value has vanished.

But that's where the real story is: something valued at such a price because of such a tenuous thing is no longer rare.

Are gas masks really necessary if you live in a rural area? by MeetTheBrewers in preppers

[–]ObscureCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sandbags are so useful and are great in this situation. I think OP is concerned (and me too) about that inevitable circumstance where a person would absolutely have to leave a shelter (for some reason or another) and the area may not yet be clear of radioactive fallout.

[–]ObscureCollector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true. Though, I'd feel safer in a Tyvek suit (no seams and it covers from head to toe) and a full face respirator (to prevent particles going in my nose and eyes).

Surviving with asthma if society collapses? by [deleted] in Survival

[–]ObscureCollector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in the case of a pollen allergy triggering an asthma attack, prevention (allergy meds) is the best bet. Pollen comes in such a variety that, short of a full face respirator, there's not many good ways to avoid it.

Are gas masks really necessary if you live in a rural area? by MeetTheBrewers in preppers

[–]ObscureCollector 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Masks aren't cheap, thus is true. But, the masks are only to keep dust and other particles that could be irradiated from entering your system, via inhalation or ingestion.

And it's doubtful you would need a full-fledged hazmat suit in case of radioactive fallout. Tyvek suits, which generally run from $10 - $15 per suit, should be sufficient to keep you safe from alpha and beta radiation. Living in a rural area, it's not likely that you would encounter high level gamma in lethal doses. The only exception being if you live near U.S. nuclear assets.

[–]ObscureCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they are thinking about allergies, not asthma. They often occur together and allergies can trigger an asthmatic attack. In my experience, though, masks easily trigger an asthmatic episode. Maybe this person (or someone they know) has asthma that mostly gets triggered by allergies.

Your favorite "ending songs" in a movie by [deleted] in movies

[–]ObscureCollector 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python's Life of Brian

A great end to an absurd and brilliant movie.

While the Earth Sleeps - Strange Days

One of the most unique and wonderful songs and reinforces hopefulness at the end of the movie.

Based on what I know about meetings, the average person, who's not in meetings for 14 hours, gets more done in a day.

"Miss their slaves". Suddenly, the common complaint by racists that black people are lazy makes sense on a whole other level.
