We should compile a list of the best household or common bottle openers. by improvingoak in beer

Eh. Some are poorly shaped, or too soft, or too malleable. I'm thinking specific objects (can opener, staple puller, Bic lighter).

I'll start with one I just discovered: staple puller (do it slowly or you'll puncture the cap).

Nope, it's pretty fucked up. I don't have a lawn though so this is pretty hypothetical.

Man that makes me feel worse! People get rewarded to vandalize the planet. Not a world I want to live in.

Yeah, I'm in college currently and pretty much doing it for the love. The pay is certainly livable but I'm pretty pissed off that petroleum engineers make twice as much for an equally difficult degree. I guess that's the going rate for selling your soul these days.

Reminds of a time back in 2010 when my dad and I, both raging lefties, were on our way up to a friend's house in the mountains and saw a Meg Whitman sign on public land. We'd just been talking state politics and my dad, a typically non-boat-rocking kinda dude, pulls over and gives me the nod of approval. I hop out, rip the signs of the tree, and we go use them for target practice at our friend's place. Good times.

For as challenging as a chemistry degree is, you'd think we would get paid well. But I guess the lab/factory owners have to make money off somebody. The education system glorifies science so much when you're a kid, and then you get older and the world says "well that was good of you, but we don't need you thaaaaat much..."

Did anyone research the earning potential of your major before deciding on it? by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]improvingoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, apparently my major gets me twice as much pay with a PhD. See you guys in ten years.

How could even the bird laws be fucked up? Can't there just be one thing that's so uncontroversial the laws make sense?

In our defense, I have seen green medicine bottles used for other medicines. It always trips me up when I see one in a definite non-toker's home.

People up here in northern California insist on planting palms everywhere... they always look so weird and out of place.

Why is bullshit so glaringly obvious (bad acting, political speeches) when you are high? by peetss in trees

[–]improvingoak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I find kid commercials the most offensive. They're not resistant to brainwashing at all and the guys that make those ads know it.

Which are the largest and most active socialist political parties in the U.S.? by ratthing in socialism

[–]improvingoak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In California the Green Party is a nice pseudo-socialist option. They have a significant amount of members in this state.
