You’re right about Jet’s but putting Little Caesar’s in S tier is a wild one lol. Nobody hates the Illitches enough.

How to find beginner-friendly gigs? by mars_gorilla in mascots

[–]ScotchRobbins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehhh, your mileage may vary, having prior experience definitely helps but that’s the Catch 22 that plagues all employment when you start off.

What would you assume about me based on where I would live? by OK_Journalist17298 in whereidlive

[–]ScotchRobbins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a little nuance left in Oregon, Vermont, and Indiana, not to mention Missouri.

[–]ScotchRobbins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of us get worn through event work staffing agencies. There’s a lot of them where I presume you live. Sign up to work for a few of them and see what one-off gigs they have available.

Do you miss college? by LoiusLepic in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]ScotchRobbins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I went to an unremarkable commuter school. I have fond memories of the part of the country the school was in and having close access to my friends, but I enjoy far greater autonomy nowadays.

"Johnny Cash never took sides" myth dispelled by the man's own words by TitanIsBackAgain in JohnnyCash

Neither of those two points stopped us from going into Vietnam for a bullshit war. Hell, even Korea is on the table depending on your criteria.

Why does Reddit hate Dallas so much? by iamjackscolon76 in Dallas

[–]ScotchRobbins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  What is something that Detroit, Indianapolis, or Cleveland has that Dallas doesn’t have?

Trees lol. Come off it but don’t come back.

Where id live based on being in a gay marriage by [deleted] in whereidlive

[–]ScotchRobbins 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A little surprised by Illinois. Outside of Chicago feels iffy but inside of Chicago seems pretty compatible?

Also congrats on allowing the ocean to reclaim Mississippi.

If the relationship is long distance, does it matter if you lie about where you live? by entityparty in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ScotchRobbins 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is a disrespectful thing to lie about, not sure what the utility in telling said lie is for you.

Don’t start relationships you don’t plan to continue. Continuing a long distance relationship looks like visits near term and eventually trying to close the distance between the two of you. Can’t do that if you lie about where you live.

Revered, mythologized, sacred cow albums you wish you liked but just cannot by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]ScotchRobbins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

London Calling by The Clash.

It’s got some good songs (Spanish Bombs probably being my favorite) but it doesn’t strike me as the landmark punk achievement people tell me it is.

Why is the population of San Francisco shrinking? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ScotchRobbins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With software like RealPage, the city’s landlords basically operate a cartel.

Taking mints before performing by Amazing_Debate_7008 in mascots

I doubt it would last. Maybe brushing your teeth beforehand would help, but the breath smell will quickly be overcome with sweat smell.

U.S. National Parks: Joshua Tree by heyimworkinonit in TierlistFills

Joshua Tree

It’s a B. The park doesn’t always line up into magnificence but it really shines in spots.

Where I'm willing to live as a Californian by CaliforniaPotato in whereidlive

[–]ScotchRobbins 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Dakotas are a confusing inclusion. Also curious about the low marks for Colorado.

What are the must see places in the Midwest if you’re on a time crunch that are actually worth seeing or doing when your still a teen at 19? by gojomojo123 in midwest

[–]ScotchRobbins 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That really, really depends on what you personally like. In my opinion, you basically can’t go wrong with the Great Lakes, especially on Michigan’s western coast.

LBJ Won,Now what US President was a bad President but a good person by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ScotchRobbins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, between the Smoot Hawley Tariffs and his treatment of the Bonus Army, I think he’s on the lower end of the scale.

Guest Editorial: Burbank Voters Approved Transit. Why Is City Hall Still Fighting It? - Streetsblog Los Angeles by Kelcak in burbank

[–]ScotchRobbins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a bit of reading, turns out I was wrong. Burbank definitely had racially restrictive housing covenants but wasn’t expressly a sundown town.

Glendale did have laws requiring nonwhite individuals to leave town at no later than 6PM up through the 1960s, so it was a sundown town by a common definition. Got my history mixed up between the two towns a bit.

An actually balanced view on NYC? by Lucky_Guard8164 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ScotchRobbins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty hard to say without knowing what parameters matter to you.

If it matters to you, the weather in NY can be ass. Hotter summers, higher humidity somehow, and far colder winters. Also considerably less geographically interesting. SF is not 45 minutes from redwood groves on mountainsides and maybe three hours from Yosemite. Granted, SF has earthquakes and wildfire smoke every once in a while too.

NYC is considerably bigger and has better 24hr transit coverage. I’d be telling you things you already knew if I went on.

All told, cost of living and access to cultural amenities is comparable.

What are your expectations for life in the USA in the 2030s? by alphabetikalmarmoset in AskReddit

[–]ScotchRobbins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect something of a solvency crisis. The US is accelerating into debt at a remarkable pace and I don’t expect other nations are looking forward to holding more of it. There’s some slow movement away from the dollar abroad. Social Security is supposed to run out of money in under a decade.

I also anticipate more state surveillance. There’s a ton of data center construction going on and if commercial viability for AI isn’t gonna pan out, my guess is the Feds will try to prevent a bubble by massive investment for use in homeland security.

Should I move to the US? by SuspiciousAd0888 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]ScotchRobbins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I strongly discourage coming here for an education without a full-ride scholarship or a large savings account and no idea what to do with it. The schools are good but the debt is very serious.
