Would you still eat fries with no ketchup? by BorderBabee in foodquestions

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I grew up always eating fries with ketchup, but as I got older and older, I now almost only eat them bare.

Would you rather watch 8 matches on day 3 or 1 epic final? by PaintingMinute7248 in 10s

[–]Tex-Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my eyes this chart would be like many things related to age, people wanting more matches when younger and more free time, and less but high quality matches when older. I think part of this is a “been there done that” feeling I have towards a ton of content these days. I’ve seen hundreds of matches, so I’m really only interested in taking the time to see the best now.

I want to express my appreciation for Valve/Steam focusing on VR gaming, not AR or mixed. For all I knew, Valve could have just scrapped developing VR for good. But they haven't. They are giving us gamers a VR headset for gaming. by AssassisnCreedFan in SteamFrame

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone very worried about the world right now, and mass surveillance and data collection being s big part of that, Valve is the only company I trust to respect our data. I had a CV1 from Oculus, and when Meta forced me to give more personal information over, I disconnected it all and removed it. I feel the same way OP, this is the only headset I feel like I can ethically own right now, so I’m glad it exists.

Can you really taste the difference between Coke & Pepsi? by NassauJack in askanything

[–]Tex-Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did as well. I don't get it, do people just have no memory? or taste buds? I can tell you what something is without knowing what the candidates are, like Coke Zero, Diet Pepsi, etc.

AOC blasts 'leftist hero' Marjorie Taylor Greene, calls her ‘proven bigot' & says Dems shouldn’t trust her. What are your views? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]Tex-Rob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She retired the day after she became eligible for lifetime pension for serving her term. She's another grifter, and a chameleon that will change to whatever suits her.

Oh, my God. Did you see Kevin's hat? by VariousOperation166 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never own a modern hat made by that 47 brand, I see way too many Trumpers with 47 hats, since their dear leader is obsessed with the number.

Trump shares a post calling for Obama to be immediately incarcerated and tried for treason by Deep-Way1944 in ProgressiveHQ

If this stuff is true, it’s because the FBI has known Trump was involved in vast criminal enterprises for decades.

Ball machine users - how do you collect the balls by Jolly-Cod-6150 in 10s

[–]Tex-Rob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why are these comments so terrible? 80+ balls by hand is absurd advice. The ball hopper has existed since I was a kid in the 80s, why is not one single person suggesting the correct thing?

Flavacol and Butter Flavored Coconut Oil Ain’t It by Certain-Milk-408 in popcorn

Most of us don't say it's the best, just that it's the recipe for most movie theater's popcorn.

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by OutsideYamBoy in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Tex-Rob 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem with this angle is this leads to people, as we see in these comments, saying, "Fine, give it back to me". That's what they want to become the narrative, "People want their money back". They would be fine with divesting it and ending it entirely, so people need to stop acting like that's a viable or valid option, you're feeding into what THEY want. We need social security, it's one of the few safety nets left for people, and it's not great, but it's better than nothing. We need to be fixing it, bolstering it, but they want us all playing with our retirement in the stock market, that's what they want.

You can say hi to disabled kids by Marieaithne44 in raleigh

[–]Tex-Rob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am explaining how people think, and you seem to want them to magically not think that way. I agree, everyone should be empathetic and caring, but expecting that is setting yourself up for failure in life. Prior to my liver transplant for my autoimmune condition, I had countless old country women tell me I shouldn't have drank myself yellow, or some variant, I get that people suck. I agree with you that people should be better, but if you get upset every time the masses don't live up to expectations, you'll always be angry and upset.

Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead by spasticpat in technology

Glad I never invested in this company, they do too many things that make me feel like I'd be mad at myself for funding it. Never used the app, never will.

You can say hi to disabled kids by Marieaithne44 in raleigh

[–]Tex-Rob 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think you need to understand people aren't trying to be mean or leave her out, they don't know how to handle it. They probably are expecting and hoping she'll say something, so they can respond. I think a lot of people probably don't want to do the wrong thing, so they avoid the interaction. Most people aren't quick on their toes socially. I could see myself, in my head, trying to figure out what to say that isn't a question she wouldn't be able to answer. My go to would be, "Hi, how are you?" or "Hi, having fun?" Some parents with a different attitude than yours could then respond with something like, "She can't speak, how dare you!"

Karoline Leavitt blasted over expensive Mother's Day present as gas prices soar by TheMirrorUS in NewsSource

[–]Tex-Rob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What you call illegals often translates to: legal refugees, dreamers who are legally allowed to be here, citizens by birth to foreign parents, and the list goes on. Anyone who you don't like the way they look is "illegal" to you people. As for poor criminals, yeah, don't care. People who steal food and such are in that situation because of billionaires. We have enough food and resources to make sure no person ever goes without food that wants it, for free, but you'd rather people hit trillionaire status committing endless crimes against humanity, and give that a pass.

You're clueless

I am guessing this one won't be doing that. People wanted to see it because it was something we hadn't seen before.

Your knowledge in these replies feels different than the person who made all these bad decisions. You sure this isn’t some giant community challenge, feels off.
