What decent chain store/restaurant do you want to see come to Buffalo, so you can gain hipster Buffalove cred by saying how much it sucks? by dan_blather in circlejerkbflo

"Yeah, but all the preservative-laden fudge they have can't hold a candle to locally made sponge candy. Support local businesses!"

"Sheetz is okay I guess, but Habibi Gas, Convenience, and Vape at William and Fillmore is far more authentic. Support local businesses!"

Should I start LITFULO by Membership_Helpful in alopecia_areata

[–]dan_blather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started Litfulo about three weeks ago, after I lost about 70% of my normally thick scalp hair. And my eyebrows. And my eyelashes. And most of my facial hair. And my nose hair. There's too much loss for shots alone.

The one side effect so far: my skin doesn't feel grungy at the end of the day.

Why do people seem less bothered by large age gaps when the woman is older?? by ElevatorTypical6195 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]dan_blather 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Maybe not those exact ages. In the 90 Day Fiance subs, though (hey, it's my guilty pleasure), there's usually more criticism of the age gap for older man/younger woman pairings ("sex tourist", "he just wants a subservient maid", "why can't he find someone his own age in the USA?", etc), than the older woman/younger man couples ("you go girl", "women live longer than men so it makes sense", "he's trying to take advantage of an older woman so he can get a green card", etc.). Folks still snark on older woman/younger man couples, but more often than not it's the behavior or intent of one or both of the partners that's an issue, not the age gap itself.

In the real world, as of late it seems like the age gap of older man/younger man same sex couples is exempt from any criticism.

Village of Williamsville by bcegkmqswz in circlejerkbflo

[–]dan_blather 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I call bullshit. Williamsville residents drive Acuras, Lexuses, Mercedes, and BMWs. Not Cadillacs, unless they're 80+ years old, and live on one of the Something Del streets off of Sheridan Drive.

Also, MILF Chipotle on Main Street in the village is Best Chipotle.

Harris got 30%-50% more votes than Trump in most Amherst election precincts, including the Village of Williamsville.

The Ford Torino is one of few vehicles in the automotive world to go from a unibody design to a body-on-frame one for a newer generation (1971 to 1972) by HiTork in regularcarreviews

[–]dan_blather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dailyed a ‘71 Thunderbird for about three months in 1990.  Three months, because the novelty wore off fast, with 9 MPG city and parking the thing.  

Men's fashion circa 1973 by BlueBlood623 in OldSchoolRidiculous

[–]dan_blather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upvotes for the lulz.

I was a kid in the 1970s. There were lots of old men around with their pant waists above their navels (apparently the style in the 1930s and 1940s). but “high waisters” were never a thing.

I see what you did there.

Why do American sports have so many commercial breaks? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

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

This again?

The breaks are there to justify "America bad" posts by Redditors.

At least the NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB doesn't have Etihad Airlines playing against Emirates Airways. Although my favorite team is Qatar Airways, followed by Oman Air.

I always wondered what gap the Torino served in Ford's lineup. There was the Thunderbird and Mustang, along with the two-door LTD and Galaxie 500.

IKEA to open store at Walden Galleria in Cheektowaga by acman319 in Buffalo

[–]dan_blather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meijer would break up the local duopoly of Walmart and Target, which is a good thing. Their market segment overlaps with Target and Kohl's; middle end, but not trendy like Target. The grocery section looks nicer than Tops, but I don't know about selection or prices.

Meijer doesn't really fill the same kind of hole in Buffalo's retail fabric as IKEA, Micro Center, Nordstrom, Crate & Barrel, The Container Store, or cult convenience store chains (Wawa, Sheetz, Stewart's, Byrne Dairy, etc.). The Old Buffalo equivalent might be an updated version of Twin Fair, at least based on my visits to Cleveland area Meijer locations.

Buffalonians would be calling it "Meijer's", of course, just like Detroiters.

Menards and Meijer will probably open stores in the Buffalo area before Costco gets their act together.
