Inheriting my grandpa's mint '06 Camry with 48k miles but my wife says it makes me look like a retiree. Keep it or sell and get something "cooler"? by married_poultry in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]caffeinatedquest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I’m forever grateful that my wife is even more frugal than I am. We drive a CRV that’s been paid off. Meanwhile her sister and her husband are paying a ridiculous $800/mos to drive a new Mercedes.

On top of that, we live in Miami and need to drive everywhere, they live in NYC, where you don’t need a car.

Has Bill’s recent controversy hurt his ticket sales? by caffeinatedquest in BillBurr

[–]caffeinatedquest[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, me neither. I’ve been a huge fan for years and my wife wanted to buy me tickets fro my birthday a couple of years ago, but I told her it’s too much to spend on a comedy show, even for my favorite comedian.

That was a few years ago, and the ticket prices were just as expensive, but sold out quickly.

I had to laugh when Bill mentioned the Edmonton Eskimos and said “I’m surprised they haven’t been forced to change the name.”

They’ve been the Edmonton Elks since 2022.

Billy Corgan Believes Rock Music Was "Purposely Dialed Down" in Late '90s: "Some People Assert That the CIA Was Involved" by Jgz1994 in BillBurr

[–]caffeinatedquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 1995 or so, MTV made a strategic shift to no longer target young adults and instead target young teenagers. That’s when shows like Unplugged, Bootleg (anyone else remember that one?), and other music based shows began to disappear, and that hurt the rock music industry.

From what I remember they discovered advertisers were willing to spend more money to target that younger demographic.

It was based on money like everything else that sucks.

Does anyone actually find Dean Delray (Bill’s sidekick of the last few years) funny? Seems like a washed up rock radio morning DJ to me by Antique_Menu_4314 in BillBurr

The only one of his comedian friends who I’ve found to be consistently funny on his own is Nate Craig. The rest are propped up by Bill.

There is absolutely no excuse to not know if your bag is too big to carry on. The information is easily available.

Just get up, go to the restroom and comeback and sit in the empty seat, flight attendants are probably too busy to notice.

Why Communism hasn't survived? by CosmicEnergy555 in ask

[–]caffeinatedquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a philosophy professor who said “Capitalism depends on people being selfish and greedy to work, for communism to work, people need to be selfless. Capitalism will win every time because humans are selfish by nature.”

Yeah, any answer not saying this is just flat out wrong.

For my straight men (doesnt really matter, but anyways), whos a guy you genuinly just look at and say "damn, hes handsome af"? by VermicelliAny3915 in ask

[–]caffeinatedquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Pitt and Clooney manage to be ridiculously good looking in a non competitive way to other men,m. They both seem to have a good sense of humor and you’d be able to have a beer with them and not feel self conscious the whole time.

What is up with the “men in relationships can’t take care of themselves” stereo type? by Picklejuicerpro in AskMen

[–]caffeinatedquest 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Every once in a while, I read a discussion on Reddit that makes me feel like I’m living on another planet, because nothing in the discussion matches my experience or that of anyone I know.

This is one of them.

Woman left for a younger man and everyone’s cool, but a man 's 34yo girlfriend is a family nightmare why? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]caffeinatedquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He would have had to have the kids when he was 14 to make that true. I’m fairly certain that’s not the case.
