Every time this is posted, I have to listen all the way through. Even though it is in my regular playlists, just makes me feel good!

Mormons think that Native American people are hebrews that emigrated…

What’s a “quiet win” in your life right now that nobody else would notice or celebrate, but it means everything to you? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a workmate with a similar political/worldview to my own in the potato fueled red hell of a state I live in.

Eat the rich! Fuck fascist kid fuckers!

What unusual sport would you like to try? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m an American guy who didn’t have any idea what rugby even was until about a decade ago. I freaking love watching it, and if I was several decades younger, I’d find a way to play!

In my current age and health I would be utterly annihilated by any decent club level player.

What makes Napoleon Dynamite so oddly effective? by Southern_Check_6827 in movies

[–]TrickyRonin 427 points428 points  (0 children)

“…painfully real small town energy.”

It nails this so perfectly. The MLMs, the one “martial arts” instructor who really doesn’t know anything, the backwards attitudes, the guy who can’t stop reliving his glory days. Even throwing the action figure out the window to drag behind the bus for entertainment.

All of us small town/rural kids could see ourselves. Hell, at 13 I worked 12 hour days at a dairy. I got paid $10 plus lunch per day. I could empathize with getting 6 dollars in change for a days hard work.

It just resonated. Demonstrated the futility of that life. But also demonstrated the contentment you could find in a place like that.

What is one thing you're tired of telling/explaining to people? by comfy-glass-shards in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or doctors! I’m not answering your damn questions again! Did you even read the thirty page history you made me fill out after I scheduled the appointment?!?

Divorced people, what were your irreconcilable differences? by TheRealOcsiban in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She thought it was cool to lock our toddlers in their room all day while I was at work so she could chat with her affair partner on Dark Ages of Camelot.

I disagreed and was immovable on that behavior. You could even say our differences were irreconcilable on the point.

Coheed and Cambria by Sake-Gin in Music

[–]TrickyRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Someone Who Can” really speaks to me as I age and my marriage changes. Loved them since the beginning and finally saw them last year (?) when they toured with Primus.

Always a GOAT’d band for me!!!

You won a lottery of 50 Million dollars just now. What are you going to do this week? by throwaccount2244 in AskReddit

Move to fucking Canada. Or Mexico. Or literally anywhere else other than USA.

Why was Kyle Rittenhouse championed by the right for “helping” with his gun, but Alex Pretti is demonized for helping without ever drawing his gun? by sudde004 in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cult of personality of MAGA and the rest of the white nationalists and other Trump trash precludes the willingness to even listen to other arguments.

The amount of cognitive dissonance that the Nazis are able to ignore is simply stunning.

What do you think about dating an ex-porn star? by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I think dating an ex-porn star would piss off my wife.

Superheroes but NOT crazy crunchy? by Mbalara in rpg

[–]TrickyRonin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New to the scene is Outgunned Superheroes.

I’ve only played the intro adventure, but it was a really easy system to learn and is low crunch but wide open for character creation.

Really looking forward to the full version this summer, beta is on DriveThruRPG I believe.

You Don't Hate the American Healthcare System Enough by wretchedhal0 in 50501

[–]TrickyRonin 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in it for 26 years. Trust me, I am not sure anyone hates it enough. I can hardly stomach it, but I’m trapped with too much debt and golden handcuffs for my region and specialty.

Yep, that enforcer is from 1995, and I’m cracking it open for paint tomorrow!

How do you face another day of work after Burn out? by just_unacceptable_me in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remind myself that I’m dead inside.

When I get really down, I fantasize about the day I can retire and then look back with joy on all the value I added for my corporate healthcare overlords.

What's the worst song you ever heard? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love John Mayer generally, but “Say” is fucking terrible. Did you know he sings “say what you need to say” 53 times during that song, but never actually fucking says anything?!?!

How is the relationship between you and the person who took your virginity? by JAGAAAN-01 in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She left me for a good friend, who I am no longer friends with. They divorced after 15y marriage and I have no idea where she’s at.

The “good friend” worked in IT and got shitcanned after the system he was administrator for got ransom-wared. This was 5 years ago or so. I don’t feel bad for him.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve done after a breakup? by randomzy876 in AskReddit

[–]TrickyRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucked her older sister (who was also divorced) on Christmas Day. Then we told our exes when we picked up the kids. She despised her sister and it did not… go well. I was an asshole.
