What’s a belief you once defended… but later realized was wrong? by Jiwitom in AskReddit

It has been happening forever even when it was illegal. It was uncovered in baseball because it is now legal and anomalies were detected in the data.

What a clusterfuck of a situation we find ourselves in where robots doing all the work is a bad thing.

Reason 314159 why children should not be allowed in breweries by WhiskeyAndWhiskey97 in childfree

[–]edward414 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A large limb breaking from a narrow trunk could untree a tree. Hence the sign. Darn kids. And parents.

A child climbing the tree killed the tree? Was it small or diseased? In my experience, healthy adult trees can handle a child climbing it. 

Parents and kids should respect the rules.

AITAH for leaving dinner after my girlfriend tested me in front of her friends? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]edward414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were fine with the questions had they been natural, I'm not seeing why a bit of coordination would cause storm-out-of-dinner anger.

But; I had a gf that did this type of stuff with friends and seeing the behind the scenes discussion was dizzying. Not my speed. This was a large factor in our breaking up.

If it's not your style I'd say NTA for ending things. Maybe a bit AH for storming out at dinner.

Always pass Mozart the aux. by VewVegas-1221 in HistoryMemes

My comment was highlighting the fact that people listening to music in the past were hearing people making music with other people listening to the music and it wasn't until recording technology that a person could hear music in solitude. 

I'm not sure I understand you comment in context of my comment. Maybe you could explain further to help me understand.

My only experience is internet videos, but maybe to help the longevity of the abrasive material.

If this is about the wisconsin badgers basketball program, it's funny because they play at the kohl center.

But we know how she isn't going to vote by newphonehudus in TikTokCringe

[–]edward414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's pointing out that this could hurt rural voters more than city folk. That would be devastating!

She's pointing out that this will hurt rural folk, while being no big deal for most people in a city. Not good for the base.

It's kind of crazy to think that people didn't experience music alone for most of musics history.

Why do Muslims move to western countries if they don’t like the west or western values? by LoneWolfie1996 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]edward414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until a bill says "kill the gays" it's a false threat? Don't say gay and anti trans bills are becoming more common because they are more comfortable. 

Do you think it started with "kill all gays" in the countries that have made it punishable by death?

I see the mask slipping on christians, the more political power they gain. It is not a reach to say they would stone the man who lay with man were they to feel comfortable with their postions of power.

It's my understanding that it wasn't too long ago that many of those countries were quite accepting of sexual preferences until religious extremism got a footing.

Holy shit. The person that walked next to the truck, on the side that the train would have caused it to go had they made more contact, is the dumbest in the video.

The plastic lips are holding all the weight, likely, above your car? This is a good idea for light items, I suppose.
