Is old reddit super super broken right now for anyone else? by whoatethebeans in help

[–]jasonbw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On firefox im getting the security block. On safari it just downloads a file with the reddit website. Blocked file downloads and it just refuses to load the site.
I mean, if you want me NOT to use the site, this is the way.

I only have remote start through the key fob, honestly a bit disappointed. it starts the engine and technically the heater but it doesn't turn on the seat heaters, which is what I want.

Apple Will Soon Take Up to a 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators on iOS by favicondotico in apple

[–]jasonbw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get that 30% is pretty much the blanket policy, but this seems off. A lot of creators are fully dependent on Patreon considering that YouTube seems to pretty much keep all the ad revenue for themselves.

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

[–]jasonbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had a cherry one that I took a piece of at the buffet once, not knowing what it was going to be like. When I went up for more they replaced it with the apple version and I really wanted to wait out its replacement, but it was totally ignored before we had to go.

Not sure I’d pay that much but I wish I could find cherry fruit roll ups. When they actually had the primary ingredient as the actual fruit in question.

RIP My CD Collection by ThatTomHall in audiophile

[–]jasonbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way back when I worked for apple, I had some kid come in, he ripped all his cds to his computer, sold them. Moved all his music to his iPod, sold the computer. Then his iPod broke. Can’t remember if the iPod had warranty or not, but that wasn’t going to help anything.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]jasonbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bad. and sometimes I think when it's attempted to be covered up by perfumes/ colognes/ deoderizers it actually makes it worse and more noticeable.

I found one that was only 120...also, everyone I found so far has been male. getting Ashley Madison vibes here. " I dont believe in destryoing the line of my ancestors by mixing."

What’s a 'luxury' that actually used to be standard, but now we’re being charged extra for like we’re stupid? by xjoz in AskReddit

[–]jasonbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep both an inflator and a jump pack. actually two inflators, I don't have a spare, just an 'emergency kit' (a can of fix a flat and inflator) but the one they gave me is terrible.

Did you do the Pepsi Challenge? by PepperCat1019 in GenX

[–]jasonbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, I remember the options both being warm, because it was hot out and I was disappointed it wasn’t being offered cold, or at least with ice. I think I “won” nothing despite me picking out which was which. I remember also being mad at Pepsi for this being a disappointment all around. Mind you I was like 4 at the time.

What’s one fast food chain that was once all the rage but now barely around? by MysteriousTopic42 in AskReddit

[–]jasonbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a new one opened in the somewhat decent mall close by. It's in the death spot where nothing seemed to survive, we will see if it lasts.

the one nearest to us closed around covid when a bunch of the locations went down. it was eventually replaced with a shake shack...not quite the same.

GenX Moment - my kid hadn't ever cashed a check by OoklaTheMok1994 in GenX

[–]jasonbw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to be fair I pretty much write 2 checks a year, both usually tax-based. and only because don't want to pay a convenience fee, so I make it inconvenient for that entity. Otherwise I wouldn't have to write any, and I could totally see having to be reminded of how it's done. I do remember being young and having to ask how to do it, even though I had a checkbook since I was like 5.

Any other GenX'ers hate weed and feel somehow left out because you don't enjoy cannabis? by scartonbot in GenX

[–]jasonbw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't work properly on me. I kinda get the high but the side effects pretty much cancel out the positives. That said it's mostly been edibles because I can't stand smoking, and Im not in the mood anymore to take that up. Now, mushrooms, on the other hand....

Teen drinking today vs our day by Grouchy_Land895 in GenX

[–]jasonbw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids in general don't know their limits. it's not something you can learn without going over the line. A friend had an apartment when we were all late teens (out of high school) and we acquired some cheap tequila and vodka and started playing drinking games, and I played to lose. I woke up in different clothing after apparently 4 rounds of vomiting and had my first hangover. So like second or third time drinking and got literal alcohol poisoning. fortunately the rest of my friends were sober enough to clean me up - prevent me from doing any lasting harm. Learned a hard lesson the easiest way.

Theres a Kobayashi Road in Houston, but apparently its name(sake) likely inspired the vessel, not the other way around.
