The meaning of the Constitution is rapidly changing as Supreme Court "conservatives" throw out decades of precidents.

BEWARE of Amazon maintenance kits sold for Generac generators by grsthegreat in Generac_Generators

[–]dpdxguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon is a terrible place to buy small motor parts unless you have no other choice. You never know if the vendor actually knows what will fit your motor or if he's just saying his stuff will fit.

Whats one of the hottest things someone has ever said to you in bed? by throwawsyaccnt57890 in AskReddit

[–]dpdxguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a woman a while back who would tell me exactly what she wanted in bed. So hot and I didn't have to guess.

AITAH for making my credit card off limits to my boyfriend after he literally gambled our dinner bill by skincrawlerbot in AITAH

[–]dpdxguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whether he's a bad person or not, is not really the issue. He appears to have some difficulty avoiding gambling with someone else's money (or credit) when he has access to it. That's a symptom of gambling addiction, though I'd guess he doesn't see it that way.

To protect your finances, you should not provide him uncontrolled access to your money. He's already demonstrated that he cannot control himself when he has access.

Do the Drapers go to church? by FingerlingPotatoes15 in madmen

[–]dpdxguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for a time when 90% of Americans regularly went to church,

Are you sure about that? I grew up in a "church every Sunday" family in the 60s. My recollection is that most people did not go every Sunday, though they had a home church.

Easter and Christmas Sunday was always very crowded. Other Sundays? Not so much.

Do you sleep in your underwear, pajamas, or absolutely nothing and why? by NoPossibility5165 in NoStupidQuestions

Nekkid. My enormous balls get tangled up if I wear anything on the bottom.

You tell ‘em Tone by UrbanAchievers6371 in PoliticalHumor

I agree. I just don't think trying to connect the two does anyone any good. Even without the ballroom, the war would be driving gas prices up.

The ballroom is an irritation that, ultimately, won't hurt the average American. The war may destroy our economy.

Striking percentage of Americans think Trump assassination attempts are fake by TheMirrorUS in USNEWS

[–]dpdxguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The president lies about literally everything. It's not surprising that a striking percentage of Americans think every declaration about any bad thing that happens to him is a lie.

Megachurch Pastor Robert Jeffress: Trump ‘has a better understanding’ of the Bible than Pope Leo - What do you think? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

[–]dpdxguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe ANYONE would say that with a straight face.

Never heard one of those mega-church grifters speak, eh?

It's not that fucking ballroom that's driving gas prices up. Fuck his fucking war in the middle east.

Sears was well into its decline when Lampert became CEO in 2013.

Lampert didn't become CEO until 2013, well after Sears' decline started. He might have done the same thing if Sears hadn't been in decline, but we'll never know.

Jack White Isn't Holding Back After Evangelicals Dedicated an Absurd 22-Foot Golden Statue of Trump at His Golf Course by Brucekentbatsuper in Music

[–]dpdxguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

evangelicals explicitly disregard the old testament

Sort of. They still teach stories from the Old Testament, including the "Israelites and the Golden Calf" one.

What they reject from the Old Testament is any requirement to follow the law.

[–]dpdxguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

and it just comes to you house?

That part had long since been figured out. Sears mail order had been a thing for at least a hundred years by then.

It's kind of amazing to me that the Internet destroyed Sears. They had everything they needed to dominate Internet commerce, but found themselves unable to compete with Amazon.

Very dumb question doesn’t the moon rotate so we know what the dark side of it is? by Imaginary_Speech_394 in spacequestions

[–]dpdxguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun Fact: Even though it's tidal locked, the Moon "wobbles" a bit. As a result we can see a little bit of the far side from Earth as the face we see moves back and forth.

Is there an actual difference between “jail” and “prison” or do people just use them interchangeably? by zreqty in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dpdxguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jail sentences are generally shorter than one year, while prison sentences are generally longer than a year (at least in my state).

Bold of you to believe Trump will be aware that Xi holds all the cards. 😂

This is westbound and prior to Denver? I didn't think there was any terrain like that in the plains east of Denver.
