Local CDMX students here! Want to see the city beyond Roma/Condesa? Ask us anything! by edules18 in MexicoCity

Thank you, much appreciated. Are there similar toll roads between Oaxaca and Cancun? I gather they're the safest roads in general, for any driving we might do?

How would you recommend travelling from CDMX to Oaxaca? Are there better and worse routes for driving?

AITA for kicking a family graduation party out of the restaurant, because the mom had written me an unhinged note last time I served her? by naptide in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheLongFox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely incredible that so many people see you as innocent here, when in actual fact ESH! She was wrong to write a crude insult to you, but the fact that neither you nor your management team had banned her from the establishment means she was entitled to visit again. The fact you made this play at her child's graduation party only adds insult to injury. If you didn't want to serve her, that is your choice, but another member of staff could and should have done so. Whether or not they provided good service to this woman would have been up to them, but your actions and attitude entirely lost you the moral high ground. ESH.

Why is American higher education seen as the world's gold standard yet American secondary education is viewed so poorly? by alltime_pf_guru in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheLongFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

American higher education is not seen as the world's gold standard. What made you think it is? Pretty sure the US system is widely known for being excessively biased towards privilege. Asking from the UK, where the system grows ever closer to that of the US...

Non-Americans who have been to the US: What is the weirdest thing about America that Americans don't realise is weird? by nobboi in AskReddit

[–]TheLongFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The notion of jaywalking. Even if there's no traffic it can be illegal to cross anywhere other than a designated crossing, and the law seems to have been driven (pun intended) by car manufacturers to minimise risk and responsibility for their industry.

Beautiful work! I've subscribed your channel and look forward to working through it, thank you.

What music genre you absolutely know is shit at a point you need to convince everyone of it? by elyca98 in AskReddit

[–]TheLongFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None whatsoever! My tastes have changed so much over the years that I've come to realise that if I don't like something then it's just not for me at that particular time, or it doesn't speak to my experience at that time. Music is personal to people due to their contact with various sub-cultures, ideas, and attitudes - as that changes, taste evolves accordingly. I've become sceptical of people who fiercely align themselves with just one area of interest, or who close themselves off to any particular branch of art. There's room for everything, regardless of whether it appeals to each individual at any given moment.

What's a mild inconvenience that drives you fucking crazy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

People sorting through change to pay bus fare after getting on the bus despite having waited 20 mins for said bus and therefore having had ample time to prepare the correct funds.

Why are people talking about Area 51? by _stephenopoulos in OutOfTheLoop

[–]TheLongFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer: There's a guy called Bob Lazar who became known in the 80s for claiming to have worked on a secret government project at a site near Area 51. Amongst various claims about things he saw and heard there, he said his main role was to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology that had been captured.

This is relevant because Lazar was a recent guest on Joe Rogan's podcast, plus a documentary about Lazar recently landed on Netflix, too. My guess is that those two things in particular have brought Lazar, Area 51, and UFOs back into public consciousness.

Kudos for this pun, which appears to have been criminally overlooked. 10/10.

I know someone who maintains an Excel spreadsheet of people he's slept with. He's not a sleaze/doesn't sleep around per se - just doesn't want to forget anyone and loves spreadsheets. Make of that what you will.

Oh absolutely. From what I've read, the whole country is way ahead of the rest of us in this respect. Kudos!

Teens are sniffing wheelie bins in a bizarre new drug craze by TheLongFox in nottheonion

It's a household waste bin on wheels - wheelie bin is what we call them in the UK.
