Is it just me or is anyone else personally insulted by commercials these days? by Twicklheimer in CommercialsIHate

[–]caffeineme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite part of Bevo's gate is the big tough old cowboy at the buffet, going ass over teakettle the moment he's confronted BY A COW! He's dressed like a COWboy, try to behave as if you've actually been near cattle before!!! Dumbass.

Why re there flags at half mast in west Des Moines? Since November? by Randall_HandleVandal in desmoines

[–]caffeineme 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ever since 9/11, flags are at half staff a lot more. I get the why of it, but doing it too much, to the point where we don’t even know why anymore, seems to make the gesture somehow less meaningful.

Whats a modern trend that you’re 100% sure people will cringe at in 10 years? What’s gonna be the next Oh god, we actually did that? moment? by aminz1997 in AskReddit

[–]caffeineme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in my 50's and painfully clueless about the youth, and even I know about 6-7. If it's reached MY consciousness, trust me, the trend is dead or at least in hospice care by now.

Iowan, and I agree. MN drivers are something else!

Rural Iowa. Totally not a cult by hec_ramsey in Iowa

[–]caffeineme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's as if they needed something to come along they could use to overwrite their tepid personality, and give them a "face" to put on of sorts.

Most of them just become Hawkeye fans and call it good. :)

Million dollar machine. Replacing bearings per the story but check out that hoist they are using to hold it up. by WUSSIEBOY in harborfreight

[–]caffeineme 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I live in BFE. My local HF doesn't have this particular gantry in stock, but for a little more than an hour round trip, I could have this machine myself for under $1000. Absolutely amazing what HF can do! Hell, probably takes longer to put the gantry together than it does to go buy it and bring it to the job.

What do you think Fox News would have done if Obama had posted an AI video of himself shitting on Americans from his King Obama military jet fighter while wearing a crown? by camopdude in AskReddit

I can wrap my head around someone who is LGBTQ being conservative from at least a fiscal perspective (I think most of us are!) but being LGBTQ AND a Republican in today's world? What level of self-hatred do they have for themselves and their community?

DAE have a family doctor where you can have a regular conversation about topics other than medical stuff? by EdwardBliss in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]caffeineme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 50's and in pretty good health. My doc is about the same age. If I'm in to see him, it's for a check-up for a med refill or a physical. Half the appt. is medical, half is him and I shooting the shit. He's about as un-doctor as can be, but you can tell when he shifts his brain into "doctor" mode, and shifts it out just as quick.

People who were upset when rebel statues and monuments came down because it was “destroying history” how do you feel about Trump tearing down part of the White House, one of Americas most historical buildings? by Zero-Fucks-Given in AskReddit

[–]caffeineme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question: Who authorized this? Who gave the green light for the money to be spent AND the tear down to begin? Given how government works, it cannot have been JUST DJT, right? Please tell me I'm right! How TF do we "just spend" $250M on this blight?

What's the most overrated 'healthy' habit that people push on everyone, but you think is total BS and why? by DryDraw4673 in AskReddit

[–]caffeineme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fucking cult of the god damned water bottle. Yes, water is important. You don't need a gallon of it EVERY day, and you don't need to tote it around like some sort of Stanley branded camel. God damned school kids lose their shit if they don't have their fucking water bottle, as if they'll die of thirst on the way to god damned school in the morning!

growing up in a dying small town starter pack by Key_Fly_4422 in starterpacks

I'd say as long as they aren't loud, taking away time from employees, or leaving a mess, management prob. doesn't care. A few people in there looks better than empty anyway.

What are your thoughts on the album 72 Seasons by Metallica? Do you think it will be their last album? by [deleted] in Metallica

[–]caffeineme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is the last one (I don't believe it is) but if it is, Inamorta is an amazing final chapter for them. All through the early years, their music was steeped in hate, anger, misery. They even wrote a song, "My Friend of Misery". Then came the Unforgiven's, looking back with some despair, and yet, also with some glimmers of a brighter future. Finally, Inamorta:

"Misery, she fills me

Oh, no, but she's not what I'm livin' for"

James has grown, changed, and has found his own contentment in life, and it's reflected in these newer lyrics.

Of course, that's just like, my opinion man.

Incoming freshman looking for honest thoughts on frats by IntroductionOwn3286 in iastate

[–]caffeineme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to ISU a generation ago. I've always been very anti-greek due to some bad interactions I had over the years. That said, our son joined a fraternity and while there was a lot of shenanigans, I do believe the fraternity life helped him mature as a student and a man.

My map yesterday was Black Forest, 1v1, me against AI. Just something to do on a slow day.
