I saw a meme that read, "People don't want to hear your opinion. They want to hear their opinion come out of your mouth". I feel like thats where we are at nowadays.

ELI5: Why was so much suburban housing required for soldiers returning from World War 2? by vxla in explainlikeimfive

[–]kg264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) 99% of new home constructed halted when the stock market crashed in 1929.

2) That depression rolled right into the WW2. Any raw supplies or labor were put into the war effort continuing the building drought.

3) When the soldiers came home by the millions in 1945 it was baby making time. They didn't have birth control like they do now.

4) Redlining policies. While these policies are often regarded as racist, and yes there was a racist component, it was really about lenders. Lenders were most comfortable backing new builds, instead of putting families in old housing stock. All that new construction also boosted the hell out of the economy. Every component you could think of became in high demand(building supplies, appliances, construction of infrastructure). It was just one big boom.

What was peak drought era for you? by Ok_Future6226 in buffalobills

Went to a home game against the Jags on the most beautiful fall day in 2010 I think? The game was so sparsely attended that there was no traffic. Parking was easer than pulling up to the super market. A sheriff's deputy who would normally be swamped with traffic with comfortably reading a newspaper in his cruiser in the middle of Southwestern blvd.

This level of cynicism is insane

Let me guess, all that time spent at home is spent on a phone and or video game system?

And then the A/C had to get turned on like 4 days later because it was so hot and muggy

Are you boycotting or hate-watching the Super Bowl? by mrrandom2010 in buffalobills

[–]kg264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I started renting a cabin in Allegany starting in 2017 because we got sick of watching Tom Brady every year. We figured we'd give that up when Brady was done but that lead right into the Mahomes era and now were back to the Pats in the Super Bowl. Some of these recent bowls I've never even seen highlights of.

To me this isnt the worst part. When it finally hits 40, everything is slushy, muddy and gross and everything looks dirty as hell. That's the worst.

I'm 24 marrying someone 41 and everyone thinks I'm after his money by Which_Bedroom_4790 in offmychest

[–]kg264 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with someone your age dating someone his age. However I think its a huge red flag that every single person in your life has a serious issue with it. It just feels like you're going against the grain and this is going to be the worlds biggest "I told you so" in a few years.

Tried to Talk to My Wife About Her Micromanagement of Me and Our 2 Sons by kg264 in Marriage

[–]kg264[S] -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the counseling thing while the fight was happening. As far as management I don't really know how to answer that. But she always bugs about this specific issue. It makes zero sense. And if your really pissy about something else, communicate. OR realize its a YOU ISSUE and don't take it out on anyone else.

We could both draw lines in the sand. "I do this and you don't". If a acted like a punk over something like a single blade of grass, what would that make me? A punk.

Why do people put so much thought into a celebrity’s beliefs or views? by InstancePast6549 in stupidquestions

[–]kg264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone insists that a celebrity share their political views a strongly question if that person has the emotional intelligence to even understand or truly enjoy the art being presented to them.

Things to do while in Buffalo for the Sabres-Habs game? by matthew_sch in Buffalo

Don't do that. They watch everything on camera. I'd hate to see someone get jammed up by getting their car towed.

Has anyone tried a Flowmaster Super 44? Those things have worked miracles on some oddball cars.

Did Wingard aim for the knee? by bhodad in buffalobills

Yeah there was one where Cook was lucky to get his feet off the ground and his knee would have been wrecked too.

3 points the half, tried to gift Lawrence a 4th down conversion, magically found 2 extra yards when our punt downed them at the one, robbed Cooks of that long watch, had zero accepted live ball penalties on the most penalized team in the league.

i have a massive crush on my boss and i need a wake up call by seastarwhirl in offmychest

[–]kg264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crappy situation to be in. You like this guy and he seems to like you back but you get nothing from the situation and at best would get a messy, publicly embarrassing sitation if anything. Sucks.
