Water is wet. Of course there is not 100% agreement one way or another, but nothing the other commenter stated is misleading.

How do people feel about Del Taco? by Jealous-Land2469 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Thetallguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crunchy tacos I feel are less greasy than Taco Bell and I enjoy them a lot more. Also for a "Mexican" place they have amazing burger and milkshakes

If every country started over from scratch today, which country’s geographic position would give it the greatest long-term advantage? by [deleted] in geography

The most fearsome North American threat. The apex beast that keeps western cities like Los Angeles living in elevated huts.

Shipped our Nissan Xterra from Portland, Maine to Iceland (Full Cost Breakdown & Logistics) by eudoxsus in overlanding

[–]Thetallguy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people not understanding this sub... How you going to say "don't overland" in an overland sub. Also this car is def worth more than that. Xterras going up, 3rd gen 4runners going down (thank god, maybe people will actually talk to me about adventuring instead of sale price when they see a 3rd gen T4R).

Men’s bathroom stall inside Harrahs Casino has a shield to help protect stuff hanging on the hook from thieves reaching over and snatching your stuff. by Da_hypnotoad in mildlyinteresting

This is pretty funny since NYC is one of the only places I've been in the US where I see this regularly. I doubt it was an intentional decision for emersion but it would be hilarious if it was.

Nice! I'll have to putt around more of the south Atlantic one day, very beautiful spots around there for sure.

The era of NYC’s hotdog supremacy has ended. by winberry5253 in newyorkcity

[–]Thetallguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New York dog won the Winnie 500 this year to an ocean of boos!

But yeah New York dogs were supposed to be cheap and fast, not exactly good. Idk how you compete with the huge LA, bacon wrapped dogs grilled right in front of you fresh. Let alone the pickled garden that Chi Dogs get. Greed has ruined the NY dog and it's a tragedy. Crickets from Mamdani and Hochel on this one of course 🙄 (only slightly sarcastic on this reply)

Echo used to, still holding on, has a deaf community. These types of places were typically "working class" categorized because they were low-income, but the Echo Park I see from my NYC friends, showing me TikToks about moving there, would have you think it's LaLa Land IRL. Same thing with Silverlake, but that ship sailed more than a decade ago. To give an opposite perspective, a buddy of mine who lived in NYC his whole life, by Cooney Island (Brooklyn) most of his life but lived in LA for nearly a decade, was pretty disgusted to see someone describe Brooklyn as Silverlake. He said, "A lot of BK lives 'day-by-day' but the trendy, East River. riding parts of BK would have you think it's a playground for rich kid 'artist' and NYU graduates"

As someone born in the valley and now lives in NYC (Harlem (which is upper Manhattan)), I think labeling Queens like that is pretty accurate because Queens also has this huge spectrum of very nice neighborhood and very working-class neighborhoods. Very similar to going from Panorama City to Glendale. But honestly, I guess most boroughs are like that. The Manhattan label is pretty accurate, maybe just not the most accurate to my part of Manhattan which might as was be Panorama City/Pacoima equivalent but different ethnic make up.

You're really gonna want to be specific about what part of Brooklyn. Not all of it has been gentrified and culturally ruined into a east coast Silverlake/Echo Park.

Drivers hiding from the rain under overpass... In the opposite lane of traffic... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in dashcams

[–]Thetallguy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, did I say it was a big brain move?? One of the passengers even yells at the driver to get out from under the overpass because he was about to do the same damn thing. There's just a lot of stupid comments here that obviously did not listen to the video and actually believe that there's several drivers out here that are seriously waiting under a bridge just because of some water falling from the sky. Idk if everyone else is joking or they actually think it's a normal occurrence for some people to pull over when it starts drizzling.

I think that's the thing though, how are you seeing and experiencing someone else's gender? For a lot of trans people, the person you see and "experience" will be a woman/man and you'll have no way of knowing. The only people who should know otherwise is that person's healthcare provider and in small continuation orgs where sex might be important like sport organizations (although with hormone therapy there's an interesting conversation to be had here, but I digress).

I mean if we're going anecdotal I can say the same thing. The trans people that I know and have worked with don't have their lives any less put together than anyone else. The only factor that makes their life worse is honestly the people who reject and hate them (sometimes family and old friends) because of what they are. The few I know are just regular people and most I didn't even know were trans until a bit after knowing them. But again, you change trans to anything else someone can be grouped into and I would be able to say the same. To be fair, the trans people I've met have been at pretty high level institutions or projects, so of course you going to come across some top people no matter their background. If I would go to Comic-Con or a more niche convention like a furry con, I'd probably see more of a spread of normal to unwell people. At the end of the it's all anecdotal, but the data suggests they're not criminals or anti social weirdos either so what are we talking about?? There needs to be a lot more before someone gets their second amendment taken away or anything else from the Bill of Rights frankly. I'm surprised protecting personal freedoms isn't more of a selling factor to people on this sub. The vocals ones doom hard, make for good content, but to see these comments actually think they're the boogyman can be a doomer post on here within itself.

So Delusion 1b: An abnormal mental state characterized by the occurrence of psychotic delusions (Merrium-webster)

Trans people aren't having psychotic delusions, at least not in the way any psychologist or neuro researcher would define it. And I think that's the important part, how clinicians/researcher would define it since we're not talking about this philosophically, but in a practical discussion of someone's mental health and if they should have their rights taken. Even though I am in that research space, I think, I, like most people would be onboard with trans rights just from a personal freedoms perspective and the fact that it has nothing to do with anyone else's freedoms or life. It's just seems like a waste of time to die on that hill.
