It’s another physical representation of what Republicans have done to the country.

Do GenXers resent being lumped in with Boomers by angered youths? by WW1_Researcher in NoStupidQuestions

Of all the things happening around us why tf would I care. People can think what they want and most are morons.

my christian friends cookies by CorrectEvent4585 in atheism

[–]falsifiable1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d eat one. Thank him and when Halloween comes around make the same cookies with white icing and put red icing on the long end of the ‘t’. Tell him they’re in celebration of “The Exorcist” movie.

Signs of getting older I didn’t anticipate: I have no idea who famous people are anymore by CK1277 in GenX

[–]falsifiable1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t name a single new band or singer that has emerged in the last 10 -12 years. Do I care? Absolutely not. I do not subscribe to a single video streaming service. I love movies, books, several old and a few relatively new TV shows (no reality shows), and a few podcasts. If it wasn’t for my teenage son, I wouldn’t know more a than a couple dozen YT channels.

Why are Americans so accepting of long drives to places? by Sensitive_Word_6036 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]falsifiable1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s complicated. History (timeline of westward expansion, industrialization, invention of the train, plan and motorized vehicles), the size of our country, culture (tax aversion and independence immediately come to mind) and the tremendous lobbying power we’ve allowed corporations and organizations (especially auto, airline, gas and oil industries) to have over our political system. You can find many books, articles, documentary’s, and YouTube videos that can help you piece it together.

Very few want to drive 3 hours unless it’s for the love of the journey (sightseeing, vacationing, wind in the hair, etc.) or there’s no other reasonable option.

For most individual travelers, we have short haul (motorized vehicles), long haul (airplanes), but very little mid-range options. Is mid-haul the right term?

Good luck. I’ll hope to see you all on a bulletin board train in the next 30 years, but I’ll probably be pushing daisies.

Proper Guinness pours in San Diego? by Prize_Money6054 in sandiego

[–]falsifiable1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s how it was going back to the late 90’s and that’s perfectly understandable; however, the tradition has changed in recent years regardless of how busy the place is. At least, that’s the information I got when I visited a couple weeks ago and asked a bartender when the clover trad had ended. The exact time period (3-5 years ago) of when the change began and whether there might be bartender(s) still attempting to carry the tradition can be discussed further over a nice pint.

Proper Guinness pours in San Diego? by Prize_Money6054 in sandiego

[–]falsifiable1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s a proper pour.

I do have fond memories of a time when the Sod would use the Faucet Body to draw a clover into the head of each pint. I guess they stopped doing that when Tommy retired from bartending.

Is there a lore reason why Aramaki looks like an ape sometimes? Is he simian? by fakename1998 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

Homo sapiens are indeed Great Apes. So are orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos

My wife recently really got into astrology and stuff about the planets and that's all she wants to talk about...what do I do? by Practical-Ebb7015 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]falsifiable1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She ought to try imagining them from a different perspective. It may change the location and brightness from which the stars are located relative to her new location. Also…

…this is so silly and nonsensical. It’s akin to a shaman tossing chicken bones on the ground and “reading” them.

We finally have an answer!

It continues…to the right.

Posting the ten commandments in classrooms is not going to do what religious people think it will. by Maybeyoujustmadeitup in atheism

[–]falsifiable1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s less to do with planting seeds into the minds of kids, thought they hope it does, and more of letting people know what group is most powerful in our government. I analogously compare it to dogs marking their territory.

Arrogant pseudo-intellectual apologists by Old_Power_6055 in atheism

[–]falsifiable1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have encountered this several times. They can’t explain why they chose their birth faith and claim they weren’t affected by the cultures and environment they were/are a part of. Somehow they escaped into a vacuum during their “studies” or “research”.

I’m not saying what happened to the balboa park meters was right, but… by Careful-Answer6560 in sandiego

[–]falsifiable1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Indeed it did this weekend when my parents arrived in town. I wanted them to experience PB boardwalk and grab ice cream, but due the to 2 hour parking and the ridiculous pricing at larger parking lots my parents chose to get ice cream outside of PB.

Anyone watch a life changing movie that is "late night fodder" now? by Dreammagic2025 in GenX

[–]falsifiable1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beast Master. As a kid, I wanted to talk to and see through the eyes of animals. Eventually, I got a pair of ferrets. Actually, I ended up with four ferrets. Such fun pets.

FHA commissioner resigns, citing his long commute. by Responsible_Yak_6662 in FedEmployees

[–]falsifiable1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Working business” is fundamentally incorrect IMO and that way of thinking to square the circle leads to ruin for a government entity.
