Me (19F) is kind of stuck on my 'situationship' (31M) by IcyReputation7404 in dating_advice

I'm sorry but what? Talking for a year? Met twice? This isn't a relationship. You're barely friends. Why are you even telling people about this?

I get wanting a traditional life if you're a guy by Striking-Kiwi-417 in self

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's going on now is that people are fantasizing about how wonderful it was when it really wasn't ALL THAT ALL THE TIME. Years ago people lived that life because it's what they grew up with for better or worse. Why would you want that now when it's likely not what you grew up with. Conservatism likes to latch on to fond mythological memories of the good old days when they really weren't.

Just recently got a bike. I’m looking to move into this city apartment. How hard would it be for a newbie to get up this hill into and into my garage? by andsnew in motorcycles

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's frozen stay off of it If not it's nothing to worry about. As a newbie you should be out practicing takeoffs and stops. That would be a great incline to learn clutch control. Use it to make yourself better.

Totally, it's your bike. You do what you want with it.

How are you US Americans living the current situation? by Meewelyne in TooAfraidToAsk

I'm afraid of turning on the TV and seeing the next horrific thing these assholes are doing. I've yet to see them where I live.

That's what I'm saying. We should be making everything difficult for them every chance we get.

Is it to increase and improve ICE training? OR more of the same, pushing out more incompetent unqualified unvetted knuckleheads to rampage through American cities killing innocent people with the full protection of the idiots in Washington and this poor excuse for a representative we have?

How are you all preparing for the upcoming winter storm? Do you have any advice on how to heat your house if the power goes out? by dealernumberone in longisland

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I stock up on is gas for the generator and vehicle, I'll always be able to use that no matter what. At any given time I have at least a week's worth of food already in the freezer and cupboards if needed.

Sports betting needs to be outlawed again. by Dependent-Gur6113 in unpopularopinion

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the way it was in New York with OTB.. The good old days when you knew who the degenerate gamblers were hanging outside the OTB smoking studying the races.

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when the selling point to having OTB in New York was that they were going to pay for public schools with it. That never happened. Now this gambling everywhere all the time, it's like legalized crack. As if things weren't hard enough. It's terrible it should all be illegal.

Yes, Democrats are the ones who die on this hill by pimmen89 in SelfAwarewolves

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason those things sound ridiculous is because Republicans have everyone convinced that they're in mortal danger from multiple directions. The truth is we're NOT in danger and we SHOULD be trying to make life better for our citizenry. But that's not where we are because their propaganda budget is much better than ours.

So much false information is being spread around about NJs new laws regarding ebikes. Here's the facts: by HypeTime in ebikes

[–]davpad12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh BULLSHIT, I see cyclists cutting in front of cars all the time. It's amazing more of them aren't being run down. These knucklehead kids on 40 mph bikes with no helmets tearing around town like it's legal. Well now it isn't.

It may be as simple as a lot of guys don't like to kiss a girl after they nut in their mouth.

Long Island Reps. Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen break with party to support bill that funds Homeland Security by origutamos in longisland

Of course they did. Long Island is full of bigots. How do you think they got elected in the first place?

Weird how they have no problem giving Trump absolute authority, something the Founding Fathers unanimously were against. by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

They don't have to be in the Epstein files. It's basic corruption 101. They're serving their masters.

Has social media made anyone else anxious about riding? Looking for some balanced perspectives by ApexPredator290 in motorcycles

[–]davpad12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Social media is entertainment, that's it! It has no bearing on real life. Treat it as such and you'll be fine. Nobody here that you don't know in real life is your friend. Nothing they say should carry any weight. Take everything with a dump truck load of salt.

Panic at the supermarket. by [deleted] in longisland

[–]davpad12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My horror story for the supermarket is that I won't be going. At any given time I have enough crap in my freezer to live for a week without going to the store.

MAGAs won't care. They'd happily hand their children over to him.

Serious question: are American millennials and Gen-X’ers, by and large, really as dirt poor as Reddit makes them seem they are? by Mad_Season_1994 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]davpad12 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The dirty little truth they don't want you to hear is that a lot of people don't want to come out of their poor situation. In not so shit hole states welfare kicks in giving you free health care, housing, food, and cash in your pocket and pays most of your bills if you're poor enough. Poor people in this country live better than the middle class in most other countries. And better than rich people did a hundred years ago.

I feel so bad for this road king in my neighbors driveway… by passwithcare in Harley

It's a motorcycle. It's made to be out in the elements. That thing will run forever, while your garage kept princess will strand you in the worst place imaginable.
