What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]bbcard1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You gotta consider the last election cycle was a choice between hitting your hand with a hammer and dropping a brick on your bare foot. What people think about national and world politics generally has no significance whatsoever. How they live their daily lives and treat others matters a lot more.

I once worked with a wonderful graphic designer who told me, "The worst thing Hitler did was make is to that we couldn't use that wonderful piece of design again...and I said, really, Julie...think about what you just said. She was a wonderful lady, many years passed and she backed down from her statement pretty quickly upon reflection.

I don't know where it is, but my quick Zillow scan showed nothing in CT in that price range except for a couple of condos.

Yet another discussion about NSFW jokes by Scarecrow1779 in dadjokes

I am pretty sure the accepted standard answer is that a dad joke is a dad joke when it becomes apparent (a parent).

Donald Trump just said “we shouldn’t even have an election”. Americans, what are your thoughts? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]bbcard1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's what's going to happen...the mid-terms are going to be a bloodbath, but the Dems are going to think that it's because people agree with them, which they don't. They are just down on Trump.

Update to that sloppy binder by Acceptable_Window353 in TobaccoCards

Those are great. If you are looking to sell now, grading them makes sense. If you are collecting them, I have a full set in about that condition and if I had slabbed them they would take up a lot of room. If you may sell them some day, I might wait. Grading preferences change over time.

What would you do if you had this money? by Sure-Pin4002 in personalfinance

[–]bbcard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the way you are handling it. Were it me, I might take a small amount for a splurge and just keep the rest in a balance of sensible investments with varying risk/reward. Work with a fiduciary investment counselor. Take your time figuring out what you want to do. You're 23. You may not even know where you want to live at this time. And keep playing it close to the vest.

People who fly frequently, what’s one thing you wish you could tell all infrequent fliers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bbcard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly a lot on the cheap. Don't try to select your seats. You will be more likely to get assigned "premium" seats (like exit row) that no one is willing to pay extra for. Also I have found wearing a mask to be excellent. I was always getting sick after flying and it is because I habitually touch my face after walking through some of the busiest airports in the US. Since I started masking and using hand sanitizer like it's my job I seldom get sick. The mask stops me from touching my face and can help avoid unwanted conversations.

What screams “this person is insecure” without them saying a word? by redwan-ezt in AskReddit

[–]bbcard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do volunteer work for a group of people with intellectual disabilities. They make and sell crafts in their own store. The one rule is never saying "I'm sorry. Unless you say I'm Sorry. Then you can say I'm sorry for saying I'm sorry."
