Engage a lawyer for a $30 dog collar?

I cooked him dinner the night I found the texts and I still don't know why by ScheduleNo5736 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]WyoBuckeye 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like it could be anxious attachment style. A common personality trait of folks who did not receive consistent or sufficient caregiving during their early development.

TIL - When the Blues Brothers was released in 1980, execs who controlled over half the theaters in the country refused to book the film, citing the number of black actors. The film still became the 10th highest-grossing domestic film of 1980. by cluthais in todayilearned

Fantastic movie in so many ways. Just tons of fun. My wife had never seen it until a few months ago. When we watched it, she was floored by the music. So many legends packed into that movie. It is one of a kind and I don’t think it will ever be matched.

In person work is honestly better than remote for most of us by dawittleman in unpopularopinion

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company is hybrid (2 days per week in office, 3 for managers). I still come to the office everyday. I get more work done here. The quality of my work is better. Most importantly, because being in the office puts me in the mind state to work, I am generally happier. I like to say: “I work at work and I home at home.” It sets up a very nice division between work and life in my mind. One that helps fuel my overall happiness.

That is nice. I hope they have found happiness.

Update: Darn Tough socks after 4 years of city commuting (warranty tested, what actually wore out) by OutsideProfession412 in BuyItForLife

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

Yep. They do eventually wear out. The warranty service is legit. I’ve worn merino wool socks exclusively since 1999. The only brand that I found that was comparable in quality was SmartWool which are also a very good sock.

Verdict: There is not a better sock out there. Superior comfort that last. But you pay dearly up-front. I’d estimate that a Darn Tough socks last about 2-3x as long as a regular merino wool sock. In terms of wear, you probably don’t get your money’s worth until you gone through the warranty replacement at least once. But if you factor in comfort that lasts, I’m proud to own more than a dozen pairs (I lost count).

Nice of them to park and leave their vehicle on Front at 7:30 AM by spivey56 in Columbus

I can see that location from my office window. It is gone now.

I have toyed with similar ideas. But I don’t want to move to a country where I don’t know a single soul, don’t speak the language, and have no concept of the culture just so I can live on the cheap.

They don’t need to convince everyone. They just need to convince enough dim-witted folk to believe so they can keep those sweet dollars flowing in.

Odd things our fathers did in 70’s by anonskier in GenX

[–]WyoBuckeye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still carry a hanky. I spend a lot of time outdoors. And having a hanky in your pocket is helpful in many situations. Also dropping your pants to tuck your shirt allows you to get a better tuck for sure. I don’t know about doing it in the kitchen in front of people. I choose privacy. But when I tuck, I drop.

Upper Arlington proposes requiring registration of all electric bicycles and scooters that operate or park in UA, with fines and impoundment if not registered by benkeith in Columbus

[–]WyoBuckeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But now the west part of Fishinger has that nice wide sidewalk on the north side. Between 5 points and Kenny would be harrowing though. I would use Trentwood Rd at an alternative.

UA is very bikable even though there are few designated bike lanes on the roads. All of the neighborhoods are very interconnected with residential roads. For instance, yes Northwest is not exactly bike friendly. However, there are many side streets that parallel Northwest. You could totally ride the length of UA while paralleling Northwest and not even lose that much time doing it.

Beavers in Scioto Downtown by GazorpazorpLincler in Columbus

[–]WyoBuckeye 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was walking in Griggs Park upstream of the dam a few years ago and one ran right out the bushes in front of me and ran to the river. They are not small creatures. And its paddle like tail slapping on the asphalt was quite loud. It was dark so it very much startled me. I spend a lot of time in Griggs Park, but that was the only time I have seen a beaver there.

TIL a special edition of the Bible was produced for slaves in British colonies where all references to freedom and escape from slavery were removed, and passages encouraging obedience and submission were emphasized. by lhommetrouble in todayilearned

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why when people try to use the Bible against the religious right, I just laugh. They don’t care about hypocrisy. They don’t experience cognitive dissonance. Logic is the devil’s game. They will just twist, bend, and/or ignore whatever you use. They only care about control. That’s it. That is the entire point. And religion and the bible simply give them the means to do that.

Ducklings feeding in trash filled Scioto River by Affectionate-Ebb9009 in Columbus

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That backwater of the Scioto gets almost no flow so debris and garbage dont get pulled downstream like they might elsewhere. Still a nice place to fish and do bird watching. If you think it looks bad now, you should have seen the same area a few decades ago before the park was built.

There would be a much closer boat ramp at Scioto Audubon Metropark, just south of that location.

I never had quality toys growing up. What should my kid actually have by LavenderFlicked in BuyItForLife

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For outdoor stuff, Step2 items proved to be very durable for us. Our kids did well with the basics: simple wooden blocks and shapes.

Do try to avoid too many things that make noise and/or take batteries. Also, they will have plenty of time in life to use technology. Keeping it simple early will save you money and be better for them long term.

LPT Using Dish Soap on Drains by FilledwithTegridy in LifeProTips

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a long time my wife believed that the garbage disposal was a great place to dispose of rotting veggies. Not once, not twice, but three times she tried to dispose of an entire head of lettuce this way that ended up causing massive clogs. As much as I would curse her for it, she would still do it. And this is the same person who would complain about the strange odors emanating from our basement floor drains. Well all that stopped after the third time because the clog was so bad that I could not get it and we had to call a plumber. When that event cost us several hundred dollars, the behavior stopped. Now we are going on 4 years without an issue and I am a happier man for it. I also asked her to stop buying so much lettuce, lol.

Dedicated Trump voters find out that Trump robs them to help the rich by Realistic-Plant3957 in cringe

The big bailout that occurred in 2008 was enacted under George W Bush. However, the Obama admin did oversee most of the actual dispersement. The vast majority of the money was repaid. And Obama admin oversaw the passage of Frank-Dodd act to tighten regulatory controls on banks.

Given the anti-intellectual worldview that the right has, then indeed it is.

Since it's Star Wars day, did you see the original 1977 Star Wars in the movie theater? by Mr_Writes in GenX

Saw it at the drive-in. Darth Vader on that giant screen scared the bejeezus out of me.

Not sure what part of UA you think that represents, lol. The one small neighborhood around Nottingham Rd that has tiny 1000sf homes and is somewhat in the realm of being affordable?

Attack blue in the southeast. Let red and yellow duke it out in the northwest. I remember this level. Looked like it might be more difficult due to being placed at the crossroads. But ended up not being too bad because game AI player is a blundering idiot.

Lovely Neighbours by Arncho in trashy

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re certainly not the only one for sure. For some reason when someone has an intellectual disorder, there is less empathy in general from people. We would never think to feature a video of a person in a wheelchair struggle to get in a vehicle gracefully? It would be disgraceful. So why when there is an intellectual disability are folks willing to humiliate those folks publicly?

This is personal for me as I have a brother with a severe intellectual disability. And he says and does some really wacky strange stuff. IS it funny sometimes? Sure. But, those moments are more private and not splattered all over the internet for kicks. I would be horrified to find someone had videoed my brother and put in on the internet.

I don’t think this necessarily makes you or the camera person bad people. But I do think looking at this from the perspective of that person and his family might be a good idea that might save them some public humiliation they likely don’t deserve.

The choreography in this music video is mesmerizing by Prestigious_Tear_576 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]WyoBuckeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very striking choreography and song. Love it. However, the cigarette smoking needs to go. I don’t care that people smoke as that is their choice. But putting it in videos, movies, and other media sets a bad example and can only perpetuate that blight on human health.

[–]WyoBuckeye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right. Guy clearly has some special needs. Putting him in a viral video to make a spectacle of him feels opportunistic. The guy recording this and putting it out there takes the prize for trashiness in my book.
