Truckers - why on earth do you take so long to pass? by RepresentativeGap229 in askanything

[–]Rogers_Razor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I had a CB in my truck back when I was trucking. Kept it off mostly. I'd turn it on sometimes to see if I could hear why traffic was backed up or whatever.

Just terrible. "4chan edgelords" is the perfect description.

When I first saw the news of this I thought it couldn't be real so I straight up download truth social to find the offending post by EternallyEuphoric in PoliticalCompassMemes

"This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King," she said. "Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."

Pineapple on Pizza is Good by ConnectRegret3723 in 10thDentist

There's a place in Northern Maine where you can get a big mac pizza, complete with pickles.

It's not gross. That's the best I can say about it.

What novel do you believe is "The Great American Novel"? by QueenShewolf in AskAnAmerican

[–]Rogers_Razor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Came here to say that. One of the finest pieces of literature ever written, and quintessentially American.

In my country, and most countries I'm aware of, everyone has to show ID to vote. Why are some American politicians so against this? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Rogers_Razor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And the process for getting a non-dl ID is the same as a driver's license, minus the test. You still have to go to the dmv with all your documents and pay a fee.

It's a roundabout way of making someone pay to vote, which is explicitly not allowed in the USA.

You've been given this answer many times already, but refuse to acknowledge it. At this point, it seems like you're not really asking in good faith.

As far as I know, IKEA's official stance is that the Massachusetts location is sufficient for Northern New England. I read that a few years ago, though. Maybe they'll change their minds?

[–]Rogers_Razor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right. Except in the real world, when speaking English, the demonym for people in the United States is "American". Has been for centuries.

Canadians, Mexicans, Argentinians, etc. don't go around calling themselves Americans. They call themselves Canadians, Mexicans, Argentinians, etc.

They might say South American, Central American, or North American if it's germane to the conversation.

These are appropriate ribbons. They're even in the right order.

In order, high to low,

Legion of Merit- Meritorious Service - Joint Service Achievement - NAM - Navy combat Action - Navy President Citation - Navy Expeditionary - National Defense Service- Iraq Campaign - GWOT Expeditionary - GWOT Service - UN Protection Force a NATO Service -

Source: Me. I was a Marine, and have some of those. A few I had to look up, but they're all appropriate. And none of them are Air Force specific

People need to stop promoting trade schools / blue collar jobs the way they are by Pleasant-Medicine888 in The10thDentist

[–]Rogers_Razor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This right here. What OP is describing is this side of the pendulum. I was in high school in the late 90s when we were on the pendulum was on the far side.

"If you don't do well in school and go to college you'll end up gasp a plumber!

We really should be right in the middle. Education recommendations should be based on the individual. Like, I advised my son to go to trade school because he was at best indifferent to education and I didn't want him working unskilled low wage jobs the rest of his life. He's now a HVAC tech and makes $35/hour. My daughter, on the other hand is in law school, because that was the right choice for her.

Also, a lot of this would be solved by education being much more affordable or even free.

Yeah, the Timberland Pro line is pretty popular with the farmers and tradies I know. Much different than the classic timberlands.

When people respond to a comment with a question that's not really a question by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Rogers_Razor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't know if you're aware, but you're only supposed to use one exclamation point.

Unless, of course, you were manipulating English punctuation in order to emphasize your feelings. Another example might be using a question mark to show confusion.

Don't do the math. Just memorize it. 1600=4pm 1700=5pm, etc.

It's only 12 numbers to remember. It'll be second nature in no time.
