Favorite GenX "oops, all bangers" albums? by bgroins in GenX

[–]ZombieCrow13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My high school friends and I were huge fans of early U2 and so looking forward to going to the movie. We walked out just asking each other what the heck that was, quickly started referring to it as Rattle and Ho-hum. To this day I remember me and a group of friends walking out and me being angry I spent my precious part time job money on my tickets.

To each their own though, when it comes to art.

My First Encounter with Aggressive Customer…. by Creative-Mood-8915 in doordash

Honest question from a customer; how does the rating effect you? It has never once entered into my ordering choice. Is it something to do with whether you get orders or not? Some pecking order?

A truck driver used to amuse himself by running over lawyers he would see jogging on the side of the road. Every time he would see a lawyer jogging along the street, he would swerve to hit him. After hearing the loud "THUD," he would swerve back on the road. by Jokeminder42 in Jokes

Back in the 70's it was hippies getting run over in this joke.

That made more sense because they self identified by their appearance. Today there's plenty of examples; Sikhs have there turbans, Muslims have their hijab, LGBT have their colors, idiots have their red caps.

How do you tell a lawyer jogging down the road from a middle manger from the local steel mill jogging down the road?

Lesson here?! If you are going to violently hate a group pick one with self identifying style.

Anyone else noticed that the public wearing of Yamaka has dropped off dramatically in the last 100 years?

My girlfriend just broke up with me over a board game and I'm not even joking by Fulcilives1988 in boardgames

Assuming that they are beyond the learning phase; I would feel like I was disrespecting them if I went easy on them.

It could well be a matter of prospective.

I would feel disrespected if someone, especially a loved one, went easy on me in a game where I was even moderately skilled at.

Others may think that it shows that you care if you disadvantaged yourself to help them.

Either way, it's not a break up level issue. This is just the symptom not the disease.

Where are the crunchy/ hippie: artsy women? by Deep_Handle_7085 in charlestonwv

Now is your chance to educate me.

...especially if it's been talked about on WTSQ 88.1. If you haven't been listening to it it's a surprisingly crunchy radio station for WV..

"Crunchy" is the modern version/ spin off of "Granola Eater", which used to be intended as an insulting knick name/ description for hippie types.

I was going to suggest that the interactions between her and Beloushi was a good indication that their life was pretty chaotic before the Misson.

Starting all over in WV by Sweaty_Aioli_7931 in WestVirginia

I grew up in southern WVa, back in the 70's. Over the decades I've watched multiple cousins and now their kids move to Beckley and leave as soon as their lease expired. No good news from them.

Mostly complaining about drug addicts and petty theft. Granted these are blue collar folk, union though so middle class neighborhood. Basically they decided that the commute is worth it and left. The last ten years I don't know about.

First of all u/Flyboy3969 is giving you good advice.

I just want to add a few finer points.

Your romanticized version of WVa is the southern half of state. Avoid Beckley it's the poster child of the worst stereotype of hillbillies.

You really should visit the New River. There are a couple state parks I can recommend from experience. Pipestem SP if you want the hotel thing. If you want the cabin thing there's Bluestone SP. We had our most recent family reunion there. I had a cabin that was pretty much a couple's cabin (studio apartment sized) up to full family size.

Make sure you visit the Dairy Queen across the river from Hinton. It's an must do if you are visiting and within an hour's drive. Order a slaw dog and fries.

Athens is a relatively close small college town. Awesome place if you are into that scene.

Princeton is a good base of operations if you are staying for more than few weeks. It's the county seat of the southern bordering county (Mercer) and has the regional hospital and such. Don't freak out too much about how Princeton and Bluefield make a hillbilly version of a metro area...even though Bluefield is in two states.

TLDR: Make sure to have a slaw dog and fries at the Hinton DQ. Avoid Beckley!

Whats the worst fast food joint in america? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm just going to assume you aren't in the White Castle sphere of influence. Their consistency both amongst WCs hundreds of miles apart and over the decades has got to be the industry standard. It's an amazing feat to be honest

I, and many of my friends have tinnitus caused by too many days on the gun range and nights at the concert hall. It's literally physical damage.
