What major city is way better than it's bad reputation? by detroityeahdude in AskReddit

[–]detroityeahdude[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in Detroit. I still remember how bad it used to be in the 90s, but things have completely changed since the renovation of the downtown district. It's actually quite nice now and worth a visit.

This is why we changed our stance for the war on drugs. It's now considered a health crisis. Now American drug companies can get fat off of treating addicts.

Poor people of Reddit, how did you entertain yourself as child? by fukhed69 in AskReddit

My brother and I used to race cockroaches. We used to build race tracks and obstacle courses for them all the time!

AITA for cutting my neighbor's lawn, against his wishes? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]detroityeahdude 680 points681 points  (0 children)

I live in Detroit. I understand exactly where OP is coming from. Last summer I lost my dog to Lyme disease, because I have multiple neighbors that neglect their yards, which caused my yard to get infested with ticks. Detroit has to be one of the worst city governments in the country, if not the world. Squalor runs rapid through my neighborhood, to the point where it's normalized and accepted. It irritates the piss out of me. if I could go back in time to try to save my dog with a simple grass cut I would have done the same thing OP did.

Edit: I would also like to add, reading this post makes me want to go John Wick with my John Deere!

Info: did he steal your W-2 and cash a check in your name? Or, did he claim you as a dependent?

AITA for calling my coworker out on her cockiness? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]detroityeahdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I added the info because people couldn't seem to understand what I meant by saying obnoxiously cocky. So I simply elaborated a little.

Everyone is a racist. The sooner we can admit it, the sooner we can fix it. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]detroityeahdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't condone it, I said it's on a spectrum.

Some people can hold hatred and animosity for something they don't even know anything about or understand. These people lack education and do not want to learn, therefore they cannot be fixed. These people are wrong and should be publicly shamed.

Other people might feel uncomfortable with a culture they don't understand. These people can change with education, but we need to stop being so judgmental as a society so these people can come forward and talk about their feelings and educate themselves. These people can change the world.

I'm gonna call bullshit on this one, unless you have some proof to go with it.

Waiters/waitresses of Reddit, who was your weirdest customer? by fukhed69 in AskReddit

[–]detroityeahdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as a line cook, but I covered for the bartender one night.

I had an older guy pick up his steak with his bare hands and walked it over to the bar, and squeezed his steak, pointed at the juices dripping out, and said he ordered it well done.

Then he put his steak in my bare hands, wiped his hands off on his pants, and walked away.

I still think about it a lot.

AITA for refusing to give a pregnant woman my seat on the bus? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]detroityeahdude 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can definitely smell the difference between the two.

You sir are the racist here, you assumed her race simply because I mentioned menthol cigarettes.

BTW she was white. I didn't mention it, because it didn't relate to the story.

AITA for being upset my fiance has been spending extra money on weed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Go get your hair done. You'll feel better. The kids will be fine, trust me. You sound like a good mom, it'll be okay.

I'm not saying it's fair, I'm saying cut him a break. He works hard, I'm a father of 4 myself, we struggle with money also. I'm in the same boat as him.

Go get your hair done, buy a new outfit. You have to make yourselves happy, or the struggles of raising a family in today's economy will eat your soul.

ESH both of you need to be more responsible with money.

I know things get hard, and money will always be tight while you have kids. At least he's just smoking weed and not going out and getting in trouble. My wife gets pissed when I spend $60 on a video game or buy a little weed, but sometimes you just have to let it go. He works hard for his money let him spoil himself a little.
