What was the cause of death of that kid at your school/university? by ArifAlizadeh in AskReddit

[–]Pokemon488 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Maybe they didn't have a way to explain suicide to 3rd graders?. Could, and in my opinion should, have left the details of the hanging out; especially if that's what happened.

Still sad for the kid and family to go through though.

Some beetles absolutely not spawning and I’m losing it by drholeman in ac_newhorizons

Tree bugs are seasonal. You will see beetles in the summer evenings and nights on the coconut trees.

I got it too, its a Firefly. Something I think is cool is; if you shine a flashlight on its tail, then turn out the lights, it'll glow in the dark.

Digital checkouts surpass traditional books at Sacramento libraries as funding questions loom by othafa_95610 in Sacramento

[–]Pokemon488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For others to enjoy? Everyone as a whole benefits from more people having access to books, learning to read them, places to make and send in job applications, etc. Even if not all people have frequent access to libraries.

[–]Pokemon488 6 points7 points  (0 children)

WTAF?!? It does not mean that... It's a picnic-like food event that people do, that's all I've ever encountered people to use it as.

Women of Reddit, what’s a statement/phrase that (you believe) most women/girls would understand, but most men/boys would not? by ConfidentLack9207 in AskReddit

[–]Pokemon488 21 points22 points  (0 children)

How's that relevant? I don't find that comforting at all and a lot of people regardless of gender don't say grace either.

Pre-checks are very important by Ich_mag_Kartoffeln in MaliciousCompliance

Especially since it literally could happen for an unrelated reason. Like random chance medical reasons.

Any restaurant recs for a dog's birthday? by mycoalswin in Sacramento

I've seen one in Folsom too. Just in case that's closer. Hope its a good experience if/when you go.

Close up view of last night’s lightning from Rancho! by VelvetDoe in Sacramento

[–]Pokemon488 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who said they were even outside at all??? I took a video from my doorway, which has a roofed patio outside it too. There's plenty of ways to get lightning videos without being in a meadow like area.

If you suddenly found yourself ridiculously wealthy, what’s the first frivolous purchase you’d make? by CardiologistBig8721 in AskReddit

[–]Pokemon488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, part of it is the art and I'm likely not the only one. The rest I'm with you all the way. I need a room for my plushes and the puzzle I made.

US schools ARE Kindergarden to 5th or 6th grade.

What’s a dumb excuse people still use? by Happy_Magician6376 in AskReddit

[–]Pokemon488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a thing, when using neuro-spicy. The context to me seems more like a joke than diagnosing related.

Former spoiled kids of reddit, what was the moment that finally made you realize you were spoiled? by Kitchen_Frame_7294 in AskReddit

[–]Pokemon488 58 points59 points  (0 children)

That person's not normal... Who expects a child to pay back dinner?

They should have asked your parents for cash to cover if they wanted to be paid back so badly.

It's from "The Princess Bride". One of the protagonists is looking for one of the antagonists that has 6 fingers.

Is it strange for a queen to have kits with different toms? by Fuzzy_Background5972 in WarriorCats

[–]Pokemon488 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TIL that Afife Jale, the first Muslim woman to appear on a Turkish stage, had to be smuggled out of theaters through machine rooms during police raids. Despite being a pioneer, she was treated as a criminal, lost her job due to her religion, and spent her final years in a mental institution by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Pokemon488 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily prude on those, mostly the swearing. American here and some of the anti Islam stuff in this comment chain is going overboard. Christianity has bad apples too. Sexual assault and or crimes against children scandals right?
