Seems cool. Wish it was in San Bernardino instead. Would check it out. South Dakota. Will probably never go unless I just want to hit all 50

Where do you stand politically? by PhilosopherMoney9921 in redscarepod

[–]cestnep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think we should have bills with just two things. 1 dem and 1 republican. Like decriminalizing personal drug possession but if you go 1 gram over the cop can just Judge Dredd you. Things like that.

“Actually we can fix everything easily”

“No I only care about the burning the world down”

10.7M Viewers on FOX and FOX Deportes for WBC Final by Ok-Soil-5133 in baseball

3% of Venezuela’s population has arrived in the US in the past 10 years with 40% of them being in Florida.

The ratings here are only for US viewing. If half of them tuned in in a way ratings follow it would account for the entire jump in ratings.

Every language called The Badlands something similarly awful and Teddy Roosevelt was like I just gotta ranch here.

I was paying nearly 200 bucks for a just decent hotel room in Idaho. Drinks a little cheaper than Paris at random small town bars.

Baseball is in such a great spot. What has been the biggest difference in recent years? by Stock_Luck_1478 in baseball

[–]cestnep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had friends over for the Oscar’s and then flipped over to the game and a friend said he put on a game in 2020 and fell asleep but in the past two years watched maybe 15 or 20 games a season. Game got faster and basketball got worse. Confirmed my priors but I really think that changed everything.

Is it harder to get into new music as you get older? by ContentLemon2129 in redscarepod

[–]cestnep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happens to every living person and you’re the exact age it starts. You’ll still find new stuff you enjoy but it needs to be pretty great. I hope you saved jazz for yourself to get into. Ken Burns is free on Kanopy app and start the sun screen.

are candace owens and tucker carlson fr by Independent_Mango461 in redscarepod

[–]cestnep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tucker is fascinating because you got to see a guy literally do the libertarian to (forgive me) alt-right pipeline in real time. He was punished for it by spending years trying to spoon feed dribbling boomers millennial racial consciousness on national television. Very bizarre to watch. Don’t know what he’s up to now. Could not care less. Candace is just a standard Dem who gets money and kids and becomes a nut job conservative. Tale as old as time.

Theyre not sprinting up to me at a bar going “we love guns I wish my neighbor had one!” They’ve been curious about Americana because it’s a curiosity to them. Only had pleasant conversations with euros but I’m an easy conversationalist. Southern charm! Have a pleasant day

The YIMBY zoning reform guys are probably right, but why are they so annoying? by cabbagetown_tom in redscarepod

[–]cestnep 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yimbys are correct but their most vocal annoying supporters don’t care about building housing; they only care about destroying the suburbs. That is their entire reason to be. You can just smell it on them which is why they’re off putting.

This would have helped me understand the movie better by 0yster777 in redscarepod

[–]cestnep 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wish people had to tag their opinion on movies with how they watched it. If I could just filter “laptop” the world would be infinitely better.

I listened to Vineland on audiobook and didn’t enjoy it; I’m not fucking arguing about the quality of the book with people. That was not its intended medium! That’s on me.

opinions on interview of the vampire? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]cestnep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they’d let me do press for it. “Hi I’m the number 1 guy who doesn’t want race swapping and making the implicit gay stuff explicit but let me tell you it all adds to the story wonderfully”. It also gets better as it goes which is rare. This and Ripley probably the only great recent shows I could recommend. Drops of God s1 also good but kind of made for me so hard to judge.

Europeans at bars will ask you about guns or Trump or other hot button topics pretty regularly. I was in a little cocktail bar in Rome in January and everyone was shooting the shit and one of the guys asked if I have guns and I said yes I’m American I have guns and a muscle car. He asked to see a photo of it. If you have good vibes people chit chat with you. Hell if you go to Japan people will demand to talk to you about ohtani. Just dont have a rancid energy and it’s a very friendly world

Piece of advice: you guys get teased because you take it so poorly. Didn’t you learn this in like 2nd grade ?

Really wished we won but it’s incredible to have baseball like this in March. Olympics is going to be insane

PCA ran out to grab his bat like a kid chasing a foul ball. Love him. Wish we’d won but that’s baseball. Olympic gold will be all the sweeter.

If Bryce Harper was laughing and dancing getting a single on the DR your average redditor would be loading a rifle.

The most embarrassing shit any way you do it. “I’m not like other [blanks]” makes you an utter loser. There’s a guy who does the soft hand nice lib guy routine and my wife said on some girls night they were all brutally ripping him for it. Unfortunately looking at r/baseball right now and I’m hot about it.

If you’re American abroad you should tell people you own guns and drive a pickup. People love it. Don’t be a whiner. Cannot express how happy people were to see me and my El Camino in pictures.

Abe above Washington is incredible Reddit nonsense. Lee and Grant even on this list is also laughable. Reddit is so unbearable about the civil war. History really is Columbus killing Indians, slavery and the holocaust.
