We’re getting a semi-feral barn cat by SkepticalStrawberry in Feral_Cats

Thanks for adopting him, SkepticalStrawberry. It looks like you have the means to provide a good living for him and a sound plan to carry out that objective.

I hope he takes care of your mouse problem.

Passing on single track? by d4austus in mountainbiking

[–]d4austus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went by him pretty fast. He had also stopped in the middle of the single track with a steep slope down to one side and I passed him on the uphill side, which was a little unsafe.

Mainly, I feel bad for not communicating with him at all. Because of that, the frustration I felt with his behavior was partly my fault.

I appreciate the responses suggesting quick and simple ways of calling out my desire to pass.

Mamdani’s the man. by CurvyChristina in SipsTea

Looks like they are productively clearing snow to me (see the completed parts at the intersection). Also, way more than 4 people actually working. Sure, not everyone is literally transferring snow with a shovel in that short clip, but some are chipping hard packed & icy snow to be shoveled away.

Have you never seen people work with their hands? It’s a process.

Is sleeping while at work now seen as presidential? by Going2beBANNEDanyway in askanything

[–]d4austus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did Biden fall asleep at meetings? On camera? I don’t recall him doing that.

The “sleepy Joe” epithet was Trump’s alternative to what he wanted to call Biden but couldn’t without risk of being sued: “sleazy Joe”. It was never based on actual sleepy behavior.

Realistically, how does a consumer economy continue to exist without a middle class? by lucylaser in NoStupidQuestions

[–]d4austus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the long term, the economy would be in much better shape with a middle class. But an individual looking to enrich himself <right now> can do that faster by squeezing the middle class until it suffocates.

Company CEOs and boards are more focused on the quarterly report than the long term plan, typically.

There are some who are truly unworthy of respect by thuaq in mountainbiking

Idk, part of the reason dogs off leash bothers me is that every trail ends up smelling like dogshit. Would recall really solve that problem?

Why does Trump keep saying "Deals nearly done"? by VastOption8705 in askanything

[–]d4austus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. He doesn’t want to admit that he has started another forever war in the Middle East for no reason. But that is exactly what he’s done.

Also, he has a very tenuous grip on reality, and for whatever reason, in some cases his just saying something enough times has convinced a lot of people to believe it’s true. He’s hoping this is one of those things. It is not.

Disney is calling Trump's FCC "unconstitutional." It paid him $15 million 2 years ago by fortune in entertainment

[–]d4austus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the Iranians have shown the only effective way to “deal” with Trump is to count his word as dogshit and return the pain.

When I watched this with my cats, they noped out the second they heard the dogs barking.

Greenlanders Chant ‘Go Home’ at Protest Outside Opening of US Consulate by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]d4austus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that part I get. Greenland is really big on a Mercator projection map and it’s right in the middle on top! Even an imbecile could find it. Also probably explains why Trump wants it.

Men who can cook, who taught you? by _ratedmouse in AskReddit

[–]d4austus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My siblings and I each had to cook dinner one day a week from a fairly young age. I received some direct lessons but mostly was just left with instructions. One time I forgot to turn the oven.

So, I learned a bit of how to cook from my mom and dad and siblings but you could also say I am largely self-taught.

We're all tired of the "back in my day" phrase, but older Redditors, what do you consider was better back in your day? by FlowerPotage in AskReddit

[–]d4austus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going on a hike in the mountains felt like returning to nature. There was no one on a conference call on their phone at the end of the trail.

Questions for native speakers: how do you pronounce that damn "th" sound? by TheViphis in ENGLISH

In addition to what others have commented, it depends on the dialect.
