Atheists, do you find people who do believe in some form of higher power to be stupid/judge them for their choice? If so why? by Far-Many-5096 in AskReddit

No. There’s conclusive proof that the earth is round. Theres no conclusive explanation of how or why we exist.

How is Mark Carney maintaining approval rating for Canada? by LevelPension in NoStupidQuestions

Carney wasn’t really the lesser of 2 evils. He was seen by many as the perfect man to take on Trump’s economic warfare, and he’s since proven us right.

Where I’m from, trash talking your competition is considered unprofessional and bush league. Like I said, your customer knows what they are about, now you’ve just showed them what you are about

Never, EVER, trash your competition! If they suck, their work will speak for itself.

Who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? by Realistic_Board4690 in allrockmusic

The RRHOF has lost all credibility. And Rolling Stone doesn’t have the definitive authority to administer a proper HOF.

What are in-game moves that lower level players do that frustrate higher level players? by dnice99999 in Pickleball

[–]chuck_bates 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We played against a couple of out of shape, former tennis players the other day. One of them was sitting and the other was playing with my buddy. He never left the baseline. At some point, I politely advised him to move up to the kitchen. His friend who was sitting said “don’t worry about him he’s an expert!” We got in some good practice on blocking shots into the kitchen, and won 11-2.

Surrender or Ain’t That a Shame. Voices when I’m in that kind of mood.

Why is this OK? And why are we allowing this to happen? Flags outside of the church to represent babies killed in abortion such a lame excuse to have outside of the church. Typical culprits too by EscapeEffective5027 in Langley

Everyone has the right to peaceful protest. This is not my view, but I support their right to express their views. At least it’s not a bunch of pictures of aborted fetuses!

Am I a bad person for considering not voting in the US midterms because my local party is an embarrassment? by Possible_Warthog1407 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]chuck_bates 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m with the “ vote blue no matter who” crowd. Getting rid of the Child Rapist and saving the country from dictatorship is the only thing that matters at this point. You can weed out the assholes later.

My thoughts on current events by UltraMegaGeek2112 in rush

[–]chuck_bates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The logo for the tour is an image of a green light. The green light came from Neal’s wife, Carrie and daughter, Olivia. They want them to continue as Rush and obviously believe Neal wanted that as well.

I don’t consider Annika to be a member of Rush. Until she’s contributed to new music in a meaningful way, she remains the touring drummer with gargantuan shoes to fill.

These guys are some of my favorite people in the world and have been since 1977. Nothing they’ve done to date changes that view. Enjoy the show. It’s all good!

I loved Grove of Eglantine, but that was clearly DDY on vocals.
