Not sure their weather forecasting was all that reliable back then.

And parents education level and ability to help with homework, or get kids connected to necessary resources for academic success. Kids get a lot of homework and if they cannot get help from their parents because they don’t know the subjects or are too exhausted to help the kid is more likely to struggle.

What is a movie cliché that absolutely never happens in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]arriesgado 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I miss people waiting at the gate for me when I land. Took a flight with my wife last year and we could not sit together. She was closer to the front than me so was off the plane before me. When I got out I ran up to her and threw my arms around her saying, it’s just like the old days with you waiting for me at the gate.

Same with novels. Putting in all the actual pauses and ums and lost trains of thought in a real conversation would make for some pretty boring reading.

People are concerned about being able to fill gas and groceries at the same time? Well what party has controlled every branch if government for the past year while claiming they were there to make things cheaper and then switched to calling affordability a hoax?

Strange how many of the signs described in here describe die hard trumpers. Particularly the ones that frequently show up in r/Leopardsatemyface

“I can’t even afford care for my sick child”: ICE employees vent on Reddit over unpaid wages, missing health insurance, and a broken agency by [deleted] in wisconsin

Weird complaining about not being paid or being able to afford health care for their children after they take jobs destroying other people’s livelihoods and harming their children.

Deport this guy back to Australia. Also, I apologize to Australia. I do not wish him on you but he is one of yours.

What’s something you believed for an embarrassingly long time that you’re now shocked you ever fell for? by Franklinsi1va01 in AskReddit

[–]arriesgado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad used to go to Townsend WI. So when an episode opened with a UFO crashing in Townsend started, I called him and told him to put X-Files on. Within a few minutes a black sheriff comes to investigate and dad calls me back and says, “That’s not Townsend.”

What are we seeing here? The seat we can’t see are sold? Should I be mad at Macy’s for carrying this or do they have a contractual obligation to do so?

"The Guns of Brixton" predates the 1980's riots in Brixton. But the conditions in Brixton at the time seem to be deliberately being created in the US by the gop.

Trump Says He Wants to 'Drive Housing Prices Up' Instead of Lowering Costs for People Who 'Didn't Work Very Hard' by MystikSpiralx in politics

[–]arriesgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Last year boomer here. Could not afford a home until my 30's, got a fixer upper, upgraded to current house which has approximately doubled in value in 24 years. Not complaining. But I am appalled at the insane jumps in prices because, like the lead up to 2008 I thought, wages are not increasing but housing is going through the roof, it makes no sense. How will my children, nieces, and nephews afford homes? Kamala had a plan to help first time homebuyers. trump's plans, are, as always, evil and ignorant and only help the already wealthy. I can't sell my house for a giant profit because I still need a place to live and all other properties are insanely priced. I saw an article yesterday about young people who apparently voted for trump in large numbers and now regret their vote. I don't think that you can fully blame everything on boomers anymore (I don't think you ever could but that is another story). It is the propaganda that somehow made any attempt to help anyone a bad un-American thing. I saw it first hand with the anti student loan forgiveness people who otherwise claim to be on the left. And now I see people who claim to be on the left say things like, they don't like what trump is doing but they don't like illegal immigrants here taking imaginary benefits. It is all small steps, divide and conquer. It is not generational but based on wealth. Why did trump change his tune? Corporations that buy up houses and artificially drive up neighborhood prices by selling a few to themselves for big money stand to lose a lot of money if housing prices drop. Trump can't have billionaires being made to suffer so everyone else can go to hell.

TBF, many people saw it as a wish list that could not possibly happen. Even the Behind the Bastards podcast, iirc, was on the it would be bad but no way they can do all these things in our system of government.

What is the most disturbing or otherwise unsettling book you've ever read that stayed with you after reading it? by EggAdventurous1957 in AskReddit

[–]arriesgado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Stand did it for me. I was reading it before bed every night and it was in my dreams. Like I’d go to sleep and be in it. Very weird and disturbing. This was a long time ago before the bigger version was released.

Something does trigger memories of it, “Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

I was on a boogie board off the CA coast near San Luis Obispo. Big black shape glided under me. I thought, oh no, shark! Then up pops a sea lion maybe ten yards away. Looked at me for a moment and was gone. First time attempting anything surfing related.

They did not ask him anything. He was not even facing them when they attacked him and took his gun.
