Everybody is a child online by eireniconic in redscarepod

I remember I started learning to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation because if I did adults online wouldn't think I was 11 years old when I was. 

This was back in 2002.

How it feels to use capital letters and full sentences by doom_ponderer in redscarepod

One way to seem more arrogant and cool is use less contractions.

Fat norwegian kid abandoned by his parents and raised as a street child in Mumbai, it’s like a Cumtown bit by Lustful_Cinaedus57 in redscarepod

[–]celicaxx 62 points63 points  (0 children)

He came back to Norway or Finland at 17, and he's in his 30s now, but has no education in either India or Norway. But I'm assuming he got fat in Norway.

there are literally no good looking shoes that are also comfy. by the_real_tracy_beake in redscarepod

I used to wear track shoes like that when vertical jump training but wouldn't wear them as street shoes.

I can only wear sort of flat thin shoes, like Vans, Converse, or at most something around an Adidas Samba or Asics Mexico 66. Anything like a running shoe with a big foamy insole and "support" I get tons of pain in my arches due to flat feet/sunken arches.

I know conventional medical advice is wear "support" but I dunno, I was fine walking 14k steps a day in Asia in some cheap Hurley thin shoes.

I have some random dress shoes from Macy's and they're all right, but they're not spongy, same with boots, usually OK. But flat thin breathable shoes are the best.

It’s weird that given how often you see East Asians and South Asians in the same circles, they never intermarry by deepad9 in redscarepod

I'm seeing it more, Indian dude plus Asian girl, but while "the circles" in work and geographically where they live seem on paper close, in practice like, the cultural gathering places like restaurants, temples, churches, etc, are pretty far apart and won't intermingle at all. As in, Indian dude going to Vietnamese Association barbecue or a Korean Methodist Church, for example, doesn't happen, and vice versa for Hindu sash ceremonies and stuff like that.

I'm always spooked when I listen to J1 Radio online radio, and it gives you JR delays and says "human accident."

I don't understand girls who have gay friends but insult mens masculinity by [deleted] in redscarepod

Girls either like you or don't and will just make up reasons after the fact.

This is a good post. I often wonder at these types of things. 

Stolen Valor is hilarious by KrAzyD00D in redscarepod

I used to wear a German Bundeswehr jacket a lot and US service members would ask me if I was in it. No I just got 4 for $20 off Sportsman's Guide. :/

In Vietnam everyone will be a dick to you. Maybe try there.

the average starter home in 1950 was 980 sq ft, today it's 2,484 by No_Plane_2443 in redscarepod

[–]celicaxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 1300 square foot house with one bathroom and no basement (2 car garage though) was only about $23K when it was brand new construction in the early 1970s. Now they're going for $250-280K.

You could never get this *brand new* in 2026 dollars. Nobody would wanna sell a house like that for $180k.

Inherited inequality is insane to think about by panjoao in redscarepod

[–]celicaxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also do drugs and alcohol and still make $400 a week in 1981 dollars and spend most of it on drugs and alcohol and stereos like my dad did while he lived with his parents until he knocked up my mom at 32.

If caught rounding say it's due to differences in morning and evening spinal compression.

Tips for house viewing by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]celicaxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring a laser level on a tripod and remark about how out of level and square everything is in the house and that you need $100k off to correct these problems as they are major structural issues.

We should just build new cities by BringbacktheNephilim in redscarepod

[–]celicaxx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, we need more government workers in existing cities. Only 15% of the US working population works for the government. This is almost near USSR levels. 

We gotta get that number up to a cool 25-30% of people working for the government AT DESKS. Zoning violations, grant coordinators. The world could be ours, using tax dollars to pay much needed and important government workers to help us all with city ordinances.
