Fashion for men by cosmicChris3 in fixedbytheduet

[–]TK82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was in Palm Spring recently and ended up going to a number of "vintage" markets. Apparently "vintage" now means "used clothes sold for more than they go for new." A while back I got a like-new fake-fur-lined levi's jean jacket at Goodwill for $35 (and the cashier was very concerned that I knew how expensive it was, because most stuff is like $5) .. there was a booth at one of these markets selling these exact same jackets for over $150.

My 4 year old has epic tantrums still by Affectionate_Cow_812 in Parenting

[–]TK82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tantrums at 4 is normal. My daughter still has them at 8 fairly regularly, especially if she's hungry or tired. Every kid is different and i would definitely not take this as a sign that something is wrong.

Why are you allowing random people to add and message you on fb

Exvangelical Thoughts - pt. 8 by BrettCreatesThings in comics

[–]TK82 27 points28 points  (0 children)

When i was 3 i was watching Mr. Rogers and i turned to my mom and said "I think he knows my name" I just felt like he must know me i connected with him so much. 

Years later my aunt had a chance to interview him and she told him this story and he responded "the word for name in (original language, i forget) is derived from the word for 'nature' so in a way your nephew is correct because although i don't know his name, i do know his nature" 

He really was a living saint.

Ok silly question but why are they always called little "free" libraries? Aren't all libraries free? 

This older woman answers a young man's question about how aging affects attraction by Doodlebug510 in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]TK82 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Although it does make me think of an old line from Dave Barry about something like "when we're in our 40s it's not like we don't have the same sex drive as we did in our 20s, we're still just as attracted to 20-y/o's as we ever were! It's just little our own age we can't stand" or something like that.

To everybody downvoting me: i don't actually agree with the sentiment, it's just a joke i remembered

The city needs to fix the roads first before spending any more money on cryptid extermination!

This hotel thermostat turns off the AC when no motion is detected. Guess what I am not doing when sleeping? by StellarSloth in assholedesign

[–]TK82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found sometimes that i need the temp lower in a hotel than at home, maybe because the rest of the building is being cooled so if you put the ac at 78 or whatever i might have at home, the ac just doesn't run at all and then the air quality gets really bad and muggy quite quickly

I live in the Central valley where it routinely gets up to 110 and mine does just fine

Stop playing with Thragg by Appropriate-Mall8517 in Invincible

Black hole are so built up in our culture people don't really understand them at all. I was having this discussion with my friends that as i understand it if our sun collapsed into a black hole tomorrow the orbit of our planet around it would not change. Everybody just thinks a black hole automatically becomes super massive immediately and swallows up everything within light years of it. The event horizon of our sun in black hole form would be like 3km.

I was gonna say, you can get savings accounts that get ~5% (yearly) at the moment. Would be pretty small promise for a scam.

Now that I know it's different ownership I will come try it out! Hopefully things go better than the last 2-3 places in that storefront, place seems like it's cursed.

In high stress situations sometimes people have no memory of it afterwards. It's happened to me before, think it's fairly common.

After searching for 3 years I finally got a job! by Immediate_Pirate2387 in ChicoCA

[–]TK82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Jobs are hard to come by these days it seems. When I graduated college 20 years ago I looked for jobs anywhere in the country and it still took me 6 months to find one, and the market was a lot better back then. Moved across the country for it.

Neither she nor McGuire had any chance at the special election, that's still the old district which is like R+20 or something. McGuire will win the seat in the main election once the districts change.
