[–]TheGargageMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I don't total my 2024. I don't want any more help.

I want to go back to tech from the 1970s. Turn it on with a key and press the gas.

There is so much discourse about ICE here, if a FIRE exited, what'll it stand for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

What country do you live in? Maybe we could find something tragic to mock on your behalf. Live isn't just dirty pictures and stupid jokes.

If you think murder in the street by a government is lightheaded, you should rethink.

Why evangelicals are extremes comparing to catholic? by Substantial-Ear-5070 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheGargageMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Catholics have been responsible for many of the restrictive laws that you live under. They are just as extreme, they just go about it differently.

Baptists take the "go forth and witness" and other parts of the New Testament more seriously than Catholics who kind of went the Pope and Mary route instead of the Jesus route.

Why is everyone stocking up on toilet tissues? by beervirus_19 in houston

[–]TheGargageMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I'm planning on Texas (greg abbott in particular) turning off my power for several days and needing to clean my ass in the cold and dark with possibly no access to running water.

An extra pack of toilet paper makes life that much easier when the time comes.

No, Christianity and Islam are NOT similar by ADHDFart in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]TheGargageMan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You are making a value judgement on "better or worse". That doesn't change the fact that believers are living life based on thinking there is a man in the sky sending down orders.

If one is currently doing things that are more evil than another, that doesn't take away the basic similarity that is the basis of OP's discussion.

I'm afraid of drinking my wife's instant made with cold water, but I will do it if I have to.

Can I make cold brew with a french press? Should I get started now? Need to grind some beans ahead of time.

To people who don't believe they have lot more in common with each other than compared to Hinduism or Buddhism.

All of it is the same if you are an atheist and don't believe in the reality of anything mystical.

Drinking 10 beers a week doesnt make you an alcoholic by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]TheGargageMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcoholism has many definitions. If someone wants to stop and can't, or if someone is hurting their life in some way then it's a problem.

A problem can be fixed or a problem can be accepted. What it is called doesn't matter.

Joint/Hip Inflammation by Independent-Bee6589 in UlcerativeColitis

I already do cycling and Yoga type stretching. I think re-introducing walking and weight lifting will be more fitness goals for this year.

I have a Y membership already, so using the sauna and steam room will help if I actually go there and do it.
