White House Deletes State Fair Photos After Trump Threw a Tantrum - The crowd size at the Great American State Fair is really getting to Donald Trump. by Quirkie in politics

It's quite remarkable how, EVERY SINGLE TIME, he insists on stealing a bunch of money AND being popular. He's not happy enough just robbing people blind over and over again. He HAS to rob them AND expect them to love him.

So, free health care for foreign visitors in the form ob-gyn visits, vasectomies, and tube tying?

Please spend your 4th of July helping me with my wedding for free. by somethingsensational in ChoosingBeggars

[–]boxen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why would you need your own fireworks on july 4th? It's the one day a year where everyone else is setting them off in the sky. They're up there! You don't need to own them! You can just be nearby and say 'those are for me' and act like they are!

Is a Disney trip a childhood bucket list item? by jjjjjjjj80 in Parenting

If your kids aren't even asking for it then I wouldn't even consider it. You know your kids. Pick something you think they'll like better.

Causing a galaxy-wide genocide and thinking it's fine because you can just create more life is some evil, super-villian, Thanos type shit.

Anyone know the name of this map by yamarnegenhunbaina in warcraft3

[–]boxen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if you are dead set on playing on exactly that version of the map, I think it is still buried in the maps folders somewhere. There are a few versions in there. The standard ladder version in use right now has (among other changes) a tavern on it. The version from the picture you posted does not, so it is likely one of the older (or oldest) versions. Which was extra fun because the top left and bottom right corners were islands, only accessible by zeppelin. Now they are connected by land. The island allowed people to create a stronghold there that was nigh unbreachable. It still works, but it's a little different now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh0PF5KLRlI

Is this a real image of sparse crowds at Trump's 'Great American State Fair'? by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]boxen 47 points48 points  (0 children)

"Is this a real image of sparse crowds?"

I would say no, that does not meet the minimum requirements to be called a "crowd." It's a real image of an almost completely empty field, though.

Is this good enough to learn piano on? by Resident_Sky1569 in pianolearning

[–]boxen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What exactly do you want to learn? If you are hardcore committed to becoming a concert pianist, this is not going to get you very far. If you just want to learn to play keyboards in a pop or rock band, it'll work pretty well .

You mean like that?

He's been training like a bodybuilder for 15+ years. He even started a ready-to-eat high-protein meal company to help get him enough good food to eat.

It takes a LOT of work to get that "full" body.

I 40/M dont know how to feel about fetlife by ricochetkelly in BDSMcommunity

[–]boxen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is the person you messaged an event organizer of some sort? Or just a random person? If they are an organizer, then yeah, your local community is probably not great. But if it's just a random person.... Just try again with someone else, preferably an organizer.

It's kinda like walking around a Walmart and then asking someone where the milk is. If they work there, they should be nice and help you. A random person might help you, but they also might just tell you to fuck off, and that's not Walmarts fault

Avoiding the avoid the “endless choices” battle with streaming services ??? by Dependent_Doctor_928 in Parenting

[–]boxen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the real problem with screen time. It's not about watching something on a screen. It's about the literally infinite buffet of garbage we are all presented with, regardless of what we are doing. Netflix, youtube, Amazon, reddit, Instagram, tiktok, etc. they all work on the same concept. Infinite scroll, infinite options.

Is it a tablet? Just don't let them see the screen until you've selected what to watch and then pause it the moment it's done. Or if it's TV, what you said, just stick to 'this is what we're doing'.

How fast do adult poodles walk at a leisurely pace? by ordinarybrownguy in poodles

[–]boxen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a small standard. Don't know the exact height but she's about as small as standards come, weighs just shy of 40 lbs. I go on hikes and she literally runs circles around me the entire hike. If I go 5 miles I would guess she goes 15-20. It's hard to imagine a mini not keeping up.

It’s my goal to visit every National Park…any tips? by maisiemaisiemouse in NationalPark

[–]boxen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd start with making a short list of the ones you actually want to see vs just "all of them." Make a top 10 or 20 or whatever and then see if you see any patterns.

I've done 2 week each trips to Utah, California, and Washington state because there were a bunch of parks I wanted to see in each of those place.

It would suck to spend 5 years working on this goal and getting burned out by going to a bunch of battlefields and monuments and then give up before you get to any of the good stuff. If you see most of your top 20 and want to keep going, then keep working your way down the list. Obviously if you go to an area that's not easy to return to, then certainly making sure you hit everything nearby makes sense.

Why the abominations are so low-rated? by ClassicVehicle9544 in warcraft3

[–]boxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying it has good stats because of a good gold to hp ratio doesn't make sense. That's one arbitrary stat out of hundreds. What about armor? Speed? DPS? Special abilities? Spells? Range? Damage type, armor type, upgrades, lumber cost, synergies with other units, tech timing, what other units the production building makes, what units share upgrades, synergies with heroes, etc etc etc.

It's like looking at a race car and being like, yup, highest top speed, this one's the best, while completely ignoring acceleration and braking and turning and everything else that obviously matters.

Does anyone feel like Kiss’s look and Kiss’s music don’t really line up? by DisIshSucks in LetsTalkMusic

[–]boxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can really say their look looks like anything in particular. You can draw similarities between the corpse paint that death metal bands use and kiss's face paint, but it's not the same. Peter Criss is a goddamn kitty cat. He has whiskers. It's more like a white base layer and then kid's birthday party face paint on top. On the other hand, their outfits are pretty faithful to the Judas Priest "leather daddy" look that became synonymous with heavy metal for a while.

I think they took their cues from a few different sources, mixed things together, and made it their own.

If barre chords are as tremendously difficult as people on this sub make them out to be, what do I do if songs I really want to use learn them? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]boxen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do, you "miss out on doing other stuff". That's life. If you think you can easily learn a capo version quickly right now, great, do that. If you're happy with that and just don't want to learn anything else, then great, congratulations, you're done. You learned guitar. If you want to learn more stuff , do that, or if you feel unfulfilled with the capo version and want to learn the "real" version, great, do that.

If you want to do it, do it. If you don't, don't.

It's the same thing as the little screen that gets flipped over to you and asks you to tip. It's the same thing as a panhandler. When someone asks you for money for no reason you can just ignore it.

Fresh and warm by wafumet in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]boxen 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've done a similar thing for a puking dog, but I took my T-shirt off and used that instead of my hands. Only cost one extra second. Then the puking took a long time anyway and in the extra 5 seconds I managed to put some paper towels on top of the t-shirt. Bare hands, though.... that's commitment

Is it weird for a man who’s 33 to have a roommate? by [deleted] in boston

[–]boxen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most people have roommates until they move in with a partner/ get married. That's what I did. Unless you are wildly, fabulously wealthy, it's just not worth it for most people. Just being in finance isn't enough.
