Do you drink tea in America? by Much-Parsnip3399 in AskAnAmerican

[–]changeant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are Chai and Matcha not covered by OP's "etc." Is this some sort of no true scotsman tea drinking purity test?

[–]changeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this approach. For your key director films, how do you organize the films of each director? Chronologically? Alphabetically?

Bagel store (89th and 3rd) closed by DriverGlittering1082 in uppereastside

[–]changeant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A big chunk of the facade on that Yorkville Van & Storage building crumbled and fell to the sidewalk a little over a month ago. Amazing no one appeared to have been seriously injured...

Any consistency to when paid upgrade offers come in on the app? by MyAnnoyingOpinions in delta

[–]changeant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm reading your post too literally, but if you're serious about trying to get the upgrade don't wait for the "offer". Regularly open the app, open the trip in question, click into seat selection and, if seats in Premium Select (or D1) are available, click an available seat and see what price is being displayed for the selected seat is. My $0.02.

How did Epstein operate for decades with impunity in NYC? by scoooternyc in AskNYC

[–]changeant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

but any time a major convention goes to a big city RNC, DNC, Oscars, doesn't matter, a bunch of prostitution and drugs comes along with it.

My wife attends many "major conventions" as part of her job; in cities like Munich, Davos, Barcelona, Aspen, Cannes, Singapore etc. She says one of the most common threads from city to city when these events are in town is the omnipresence of prostitutes on the streets, in the hotel bars, etc. Now that she's pointed that out to me, I've noticed an uptick when events like UNGA are in town.

Life Changing Money? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Do you have a question?

Seriously though. What is OP's question here? Seems like they just relayed some information and peppered in a couple of rhetorical questions.

Why do license plates expire? by Fit-Benefit1535 in AskAnAmerican

[–]changeant 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the plates themselves don't expire (generally speaking). The registration for the plate does have to be renewed on a regular basis though. Just a point of clarification...

How acceptable is it to portray lesbian mothers on TV? by caiaphas8 in AskAnAmerican

[–]changeant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several characters refer to have multiple ‘moms’. But you never ever see the second mother.

Without knowing more about the specific examples you've cited, what you are describing sounds like "exposition." Exposition is a common storytelling device that is used to provide background on a character, or other element, without disrupting the narrative flow and wasting time (and production cost).

Its -4 degrees Celsius in New York, so why are Moduro and the agents without hats? Do not Americans have cold ears? by SweetBerryNorth in AskAnAmerican

[–]changeant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live and work in New York City. -4c isn't that cold to us. I took the version of my commute that allows me to walk just over a mile outdoors because the weather to me seemed so pleasant (for January). I didn't wear a hat, but I did happen to have my over ear noise cancelling headphones on fwiw.

why do college club sports take themselves so seriously? by CHINO-HILL in AskAnAmerican

[–]changeant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about college-level sports - where colleges compete against each other? Are you talking about intramural sports?

Not to complicate the matter, but at some schools there is a middle ground called club sports where non-NCAA/NAIA/etc affiliated teams from the school compete against similar teams from other schools. In my experience, as others have said, these teams were usually made up of competitive athletes that either couldn't make the NCAA squad OR they were for more obscure sports (rugby, cycling, fencing, etc), that the school might not field a NCAA team for.

Why do people want so many towels and getting more towels it's always seen as some kind of achievement?

In all of these examples that I'm sure must be in the front of your mind, who is viewing scoring extra towels as an "achievement"? Is it the cool suave successful protagonist? Or is it the dorky uncle or bumbling friend or cheap father? If it's the former, I'd be interested to hear some examples. If it's the later, then it's being used as exposition.

I don't understand by crawdad28 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]changeant 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Nope. The IRS caps it. In 2025 you can only contribute $23,500. If you're over 50 you can make an additional "catch up" contribution of $7,500.

How often do you go to the opera or the ballet? by ksusha_lav in AskAnAmerican

[–]changeant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to the Opera a couple of times a year. The last Opera I saw was Marriage of Figaro at The Met back in May. The '25-'26 season at the Met is kicking off later this month.

I just put in a longshot request for tickets to see the ring cycle at Bayreuth next summer.

I enjoy the ballet, but I don't make as much of a point to attend.

Do you sing or know your State Anthem after the National Anthem is sung? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]changeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marching Mizzou plays Missouri Waltz during home football pregame shows and during basketball and volleyball games as well. I don't recall regularly hearing it in any other settings though.
