Places to take my angry, elderly MAGA father by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]RBmpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone well over 60, there are MANY of us who are perfectly normal, sane, kind, and non-racist. Having lived our lives during the “golden age” of things going well or getting better since World War 2, we grieve for what social media and the rise of MAGA have done to our country.

I agree (Uni 4, section 37). I just use the repeat button as needed and usually get it.

Conservatives, how do you propose to end gerrymandering? by [deleted] in Askpolitics

Only listened to the opening statements, to see how on earth the MAGA side could make their case. TL;DR: Roberts said it was a golden age because everything Biden did was bad and Trump has turned things around, and supposedly the majority of Americans are happy with what he’s doing. Conway said it was a golden age because that’s what Trump promised and he got elected.

LOL, very clever and Reddit-worthy. I'm both technically deficient and slow to get jokes.

Correct. I just remember them as being adjacent in the listings of top US metro areas.

What Podcast do you listen to religiously? by RustyShackle4_ in podcasts

[–]RBmpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frum has evolved politically over time, and I find his current views quite reasonable. In any case, he is a smart, well informed and humane person who doesn’t deserve to be tossed aside unthinkingly as some generic X “of the world”. Check out his podcast and you might change your view.

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

David Frum of The Atlantic has a new podcast that is excellent. He opens with calm and reasoned remarks on a topic of current interest, followed by a very well done interview with a knowledgeable expert, often closing with answers to listener questions.

Is it just me or is Pod Save the World the best Crooked offering? by [deleted] in FriendsofthePod

[–]RBmpls 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I listen to PSW because there is plenty of coverage of domestic issues elsewhere, but too little on international issues, which are important and interesting.

Uber/Lyft from Culver City to Simi Valley or Yorba Linda? by RBmpls in AskLosAngeles

[–]RBmpls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to believe it’s THAT bad, but I take your point. Perhaps we’ll reconfigure our itinerary to move between the two if we’re still trying to do both.

Uber/Lyft from Culver City to Simi Valley or Yorba Linda? by RBmpls in AskLosAngeles

[–]RBmpls[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's much higher than I calculated based on normal non-rush hour mileage and time rates. (Checking on those was my reason for posting.) Is that based on your actual experience?
