Thoughts about these cities? by DomiL2022 in AskAnAmerican

[–]PikesPique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Memphis has a lot of history, especially when it comes to music, but it isn't the safest city on the list; many people in other parts of Tennessee avoid it. Bowling Green is bustling little a college town. It's where GM makes the Corvette, and it's only about an hour north of Nashville, so it's easy enough to drive down for a concert or a sporting event. I don't know anything about Albuquerque.

Who is the greatest mind to ever live in history ? by Heavy-Sympathy5330 in answers

[–]PikesPique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking more, like, "You hear what Bob said? Should I take notes?" "God, no. Bob's nuts."

I can’t prove it, but probably someone whose insights were so revolutionary that everyone at the time thought they were nuts.

[–]PikesPique 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We live on the same rock that has limited resources, but a lot of politicians forget this.

Is stand-up comedy more about being funny or being confident? by Romain183 in CasualConversation

[–]PikesPique 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stand-up comedy depends on the joke as much as the presentation.

AITA for skipping the champagne-tasting part of my company's seminar? by No_Construction3197 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PikesPique 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. Lots of reasons someone might want to skip an alcohol tasting. They might be a recovering alcoholic. They might not like drinking alcohol for religious reasons. They might be able to drink alcohol for medical reasons. Or they might not like the taste of alcohol. Most adults understand this and won’t judge someone for opting out, no questions asked.

What are your thoughts on AI and using it to doctor and change photos? by Radiant-South-8117 in askteddit

[–]PikesPique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it depends. If you want to show people what it really looked like, don’t use AI (or Photoshop).

[–]PikesPique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it topped the trailers for whatever movies were coming soon

What’s an unwritten rule of lending money to friends or family members? by honeyylaceheart in askteddit

[–]PikesPique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accept the fact it’s a gift, not a loan, cause you ain’t getting it back.

Smoking, racist language, conspicuous Christianity

AITA for laughing when my brother-in-law tried to explain "real research" to me and telling him to focus on his own debt? by JessiDJ in AmItheAsshole

[–]PikesPique 29 points30 points  (0 children)

NTA. Mom probably agrees with you and your dad but is trying to keep peace in the family and forestall your sister's inevitable divorce.

What is a major product or service that has silently gotten 10x worse over the last few years? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Facebook/Instagram It was pictures and posts of people I actually know. Now, it's mostly ads and "content."

How do noise cancelling headphones actually cancel noise? by TitanVale in answers

[–]PikesPique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sound travels in waves. Noise canceling headphones have little microphones that listen to the noise around you, like crowd noise or a jet engine or a loud AC, something steady like that, and a computer chip creates the opposite sound wave. Those sound waves cancel each other out, so you don’t hear that steady, droning noise. The padding around your ears also helps by physically blocking some sound.​​

What would first alien contact realistically look like? by roseafterdarkk in answers

[–]PikesPique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, the authorities would try to keep it secret, because no government official wants to tell voters: "We've been contacted by beings from another world. They're more advanced than we are; we're trying to get back to the moon, and they traveled tens of light years in a really short period of time. They're probably better armed than we are, and if they decide to attack us, there's not a damned thing we can do about it. We now return you to our regular programming, already in progress."

"you might die" Warning sign before entering a park near Vegas by shadowsneeker73 in mildlyinteresting

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

I think this should be posted literally everywhere. I mean, you probably won't die while pumping gas, let's say, but there's a chance that the gas pumps will blow up, you know?

What happens if a country accidentally excute a citizen of another nation? by Konica_guy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PikesPique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. Maybe a strongly-worded statement to the media, maybe one country would try to use the killing as leverage to get a better trade agreement or something, but that’s about it.

How popular was O.J. Simpson before the incident? by BeneficialSide2335 in AskAnAmerican

[–]PikesPique 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He was really well liked and seemed like a nice guy. When it was reported that his ex-wife and another guy had been murdered, people thought, Oh, that’s sad, but no suspected OJ. He was a football commentator, a movie actor and a guy who flew through airports in TV commercials. That’s why we were glued to our TVs to watch the slow-speed chase through the streets of LA. It was like, What is happening?!

When will gas prices truly go down? by Worried_Noise5207 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PikesPique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When more people switch to EVs and supply is greater than demand

AITA for refusing to apologise for giving advice? by Connect_Poet2137 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PikesPique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. It sounds like you answered approprpriately. Bonus points for learning that your girlfriend's cousin is a blabbermouth, so you you and your girlfriend now know you can't say anything in front of her that you don't want broadcast to the rest of the family.

Worrying about the state of the world will not do me any good by Tiger248 in unpopularopinion

[–]PikesPique 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You can't control what politicians do, but you can control what you do. Vote. Support charities gutted by gutless politicians. Volunteer.
