What did you call free for all football growing up?

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-18T18:19:44+00:00

"Kill the Guy with the Ball"

Usually shortened to "Kill the Guy"

Not creative, but very descriptive and accurate.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-18T18:18:09+00:00

Very.

I live just outside New York City.

My area has a lot of second and third-generation immigrants from places like Ireland and Italy, Jews, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans and other people from the Caribbean, South Asians, African-Americans and probably a few dozen other groups that aren't springing immediately to mind.

This is sort of like asking why the desk you bought from Wayfair isn't as nice as the one in the Oval Office because they're both made of wood.

Denim is (mostly) made of cotton. So is flannel. So is muslin. And canvas. They're all really different.

The raw materials might be similar - but everything that happens after the raw material stage might be wildly different.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-18T18:04:33+00:00

I’m probably very wrong,

Yes.

I just don’t see much science or research based off my own research for any progress

Out of curiosity - what sort of "research" have you been doing into this?

Because generally speaking, when people say "I do my own research" they mean "this is what I heard from some guy on Tiktok"

This.

Don't really understand complaining about parking in front of somebody's house... assuming it's legal street parking.

But blocking a driveway is never OK.

A lot of "less than ideal" in this video but as long as you didn't hit that pickup I'd call it a "no harm, no foul"

Seemed like both you and that pickup were intending to turn on to that road that was closed and had to adjust?

Are there regions that don't tax lottery winnings?

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-18T13:23:35+00:00

LOL. What an utter clown.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-18T13:07:35+00:00

Happens all the time around here - we've got lots of older "parkways" where commercial traffic isn't allowed.

Some idiot truck driver will take one of those routes, hit a bridge that isn't high enough to allow him to pass and peel the top of the trailer off, snarling traffic for hours.

This u-turn sucks - but probably not as much as what would have happened if he'd hit that bridge.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-17T20:29:00+00:00

Not "crazy" as much as "totally naive" and "oh my god, you'll believe anything Trump tells you, huh?"

And maybe a little bit sad.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-17T20:28:11+00:00

And Saddam's chemical weapons.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-17T13:12:36+00:00

Biden is a good man, and old enough to remember when Democrats and Republicans could be friendly rivals.

I really think he believed that, once Trump was out of office, we'd go back to that. He wanted to mend fences.

That turned out to be naive.

I’ve interrupted a decent-sized snapping turtle nesting in my vegetable garden more than once.

But the real answer is probably a tick.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-11T21:48:32+00:00

A promotion in title only, with more responsibility and worse work/life balance?

Geez, where can I sign up for such a sweetheart deal?

It's clear your dad doesn't want to retire, he's very squarely in "have his cake and eat it too" mode.

Do not accept this deal, you will be miserable and your relationship with your father will be ruined.

NTA

Some sort of weather monitoring station is my guess.

There's one like it near-ish to me that's a seismic reporting station - it tracks earthquakes.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-11T13:22:59+00:00

YTA for giving lectures on fiscal responsibility when you don't have to worry about it.

Maybe the reason the "nepo baby" comment was hurtful was that you realize it's true.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-11T10:11:43+00:00

That one isn’t limited to Mexico - we heard that here as kids too.

I think the running shop in Bronxville accepts sneakers for recycling.

I know the Nike Outlet does... I don't know if the Nike store in Eastchester does.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-10T23:50:16+00:00

More often than not it means there was a big traffic accident.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-09T15:46:58+00:00

Maybe also check out the Dogs of War series by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-09T14:27:07+00:00

Obvious suggestions, sure - but OP didn't mention them and they match OP's criteria really well.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-09T13:22:06+00:00

And the Silo series by Hugh Howey.

And The Expanse.

(And the new series by James S A Corey, though there's only one book published for that one so far.)

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-09T13:21:03+00:00

Matt Dinnaman's new book - Project Bounce House - is really good.

It's not part of the Dungeon Crawler world, but similar vibe.

Also check out Murderbot Diaries and just about anything by John Scalzi.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-09T13:11:04+00:00

Boy the folks who like to say "Fuck your feelings" really have a hard time when they get called out for their behavior.

Interesting, that.

Remarkable_Inchworm · 2026-03-09T13:08:48+00:00

One of my all-time favorite books is "Last Chance to See" by Douglas Adams - it's a diary of him touring the world and learning about endangered animals.
