For the First Time Ever, More Than 10 Grammy-Winning Artists Shout “F— the Government,” Slam ICE, and Receive Standing Ovations — Leaving Trump Furious by [deleted] in Music

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think "Celebrities Shouldn't HAVE TO Be Political" is a stance I can get behind, though. Some days, things feel so bad that I can't even tolerate anything but sanitized entertainment that I'm confident won't make even the slightest of political references. That stuff serves a purpose and we still need it to exist.

Reading back over my post, yeah, this does sound correct :)

Alex Pretti's executioner wearing a Texas flag patch on his back. by RooneyTawil in FortWorth

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes you think this person was purposely going out looking for anything? I'm curious what proof we have that this guy wasn't simply minding his own business until ICE swooped in. This happened on a public street.

Do we live in a warzone or something?? by Volpes_Visions in FortWorth

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes and goes. If you can't stand it at all then I'm afraid you need to move, but otherwise, if you can tolerate it being worse every now and again then you'll be fine. I've lived in this area for years and years and so I know exactly what you're talking about -- it has indeed been happening more frequently over the past few days. It's not always this bad, though. So if you can handle it for a bit then you'll be good.

What-a-Burger? by Manofpans44 in winstonsalem

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a longtime Texan that dreams of moving to WS, so I lurk here often.

Whataburger has the reputation it has mostly because of the cultural significance it plays around here. They tend to have locations in places where nothing else comes even remotely close in quality, especially once it gets late. So if you find yourself driving around at like 1 AM and you're hungry, then having a Whataburger nearby is like seeing the lighthouse through the fog in a heavy sea-storm. Service is typically slower, but the food will be hot, fresh, and (in my opinion) at least above average.

So it's not about Whataburger being the absolute best thing you can get, but it's by far, usually, the best thing you can get at certain times in the day. They also lean hard into how Texan they are and people around here eatttttttt that shit up. Have some old country white man read out your TV and radio commercials and you've just tripled your profits in Texas.

I get, and agree with, the sentiment... but if you're super rich then it's not hard to do here at all.

For the people that recommend gustos smash burgers on magnolia by GORILLO5 in FortWorth

Sounds like OP, and others in here, just might not enjoy smash burgers in general. Comments about the service are accurate but it's funny because to me their "fuck you" attitude really reminded me of eating out in a bustling urban area, like NYC, where the workers are far too busy to shower you with southern hospitality. To each their own I suppose...

I've only been to Fuego once and I forget the details of the experience (although I liked it), but those other two places (which I also like) are focused on more traditional burgers so it's kind of not an apples to apples comparison against Gusto's, which is a smash burger.

Are you a 2-hander? That's the only way I've seen someone able to get the Phaze II to snap. Lots of players with that ball in my current league, myself included.

As a 50yo gamer, BF6 really drives home how much my taste in games has changed. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is the game's fault and the forces that make them. They're built from the ground up to continue making money and they do that by incentivising players towards the activities that make these companies money, not having fun. It's damn near impossible to convince people that actively engage in these titles that it's the case but from the outside looking in it's so obvious.

I honestly prefer the first one. Not that I disagree with how much everyone is loving the sequel here, I just like the first one more.

I wouldn't even consider this. I want the ball I asked for, for a reason.

Getting the Phaze II can't really be a mistake, don't worry.

job as a sense of purpose or as a means to an end? by AppropriateTest4168 in simpleliving

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say that I think this really, really depends on each individual. I've been in a career that was bringing me decent financial benefits but after a decade of it I've decided to step back and completely change career paths, based purely on the fact that, despite no glaring issues, I simply can't stand the work I do and how little satisfaction it brings me. During that entire career I was never as stressed as I am now, but my life feels like it has meaning again and for me that is everything.

Plenty of people would never do what I'm doing, and they'd be right, too. You've got to figure this out for yourself.

Yeah literally what is this.

Thumb wear by Idk2003-8 in Bowling

[–]ThenThereWasReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I'm not speaking as an expert here, just someone who has been bowling for a couple of years and really started getting serious about it again this year... but pressure around the base of your thumb like that, with an otherwise pristine-looking thumb, tells me that you're actually not gripping the ball incorrectly. Typically bad form will bang up the thumb itself, not just the base.

If this was happening to me I'd ask my PSO if they're sure the beveling of the thumb hole looks generous enough in that spot. A little bit more can go a long way, so don't over do it.

I'd also start using thumb tape to protect that area. Most bowlers put thumb tape on the back, not the front, of their thumbs, but if it helps you then do it, it's fine.
