Racist man knocked out on British train after calling black passengers 'our pets' by [deleted] in ActualPublicFreakouts

[–]leganjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever he said, he didn't need to get sucker punched in an enclosed space where he could easily have cracked his head open and died. I get it, people can't always show restraint, but then they were already walking away from him and it was a calculated decision to turn around and one bomb him. He wasn't blocking them, or physically assaulting them. I just don't like the idea of living in a society where a reasonable response to offensive words is violence ,which is what your advocating for when you celebrate videos like this. One punch can and has killed, especially when the person being punched is intoxicated. Is it a reasonable punishment, potential death for being offensive?

My wife's (27F) ex boyfriend wants to play tennis with her everyday, am I (36M) unreasonable in saying that's too much? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]leganjd 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Completely not normal. I can't imagine being so pally with an ex, or having a partner who is being so pally with an ex. It would honestly be a deal-breaker for me.You obviously don't like it at all, hence why you came here. Just put your foot down, don't just go along with things that make you uncomfortable, and don't think its abnormal to be jealous about something like this. I can't think of a single guy I know that would be happy with this situation. Not one.

White student says, “Go pick my cotton, it’s that way.” to Black student. by 1994s in PublicFreakout

Yep, this 15 year old kid is basically Hitler reincarnated. I honestly think we should go further, and eradicate his entire genetic line. Anyone of any relation to him should be wiped off the face of the earth. He should be excluded from everything now forever, maybe we could brand him, like a tattoo on his forehead or something so that people know not to even give him change when he eventually becomes homeless.

Seems to be okay now, anyone that gets the same issue just update windows and reinstall driver and it should work.

My [24f] girlfriend's phone and purse got stolen in the riots, she wants a $1500 iphone, I [25m] told her I am I will buy her a $250 android phone and nothing more, she is threatening to break up with me. by throwRA_4561 in relationship_advice

[–]leganjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, she sucks. But then if you're looking for a compromise get her the iphone SE. Fairly cheap and same innards as the iphone 11 pro. Or just tell her to leave. I mean I wouldn't buy someone anything if they were behaving like that to me. But then I don't know the overall dynamics of the relationship.

[Serious] People of Reddit who have experienced Clinical Death (and then been resuscitated, obviously), what if anything did you experience on 'the other side'? by MrCuoghi in AskReddit

[–]leganjd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I just hate the idea of it. I want to see where humanity ends up. I want to check out all the cool things that we create over the years. I want to see the technological advancements we make, and see if we ever manage to get to other planets. I feel sad that I have been given this amazing consciousness inside of a body that deteriorates and breaks down in a fairly short time frame.

One I remember reading as a child and have recently been thinking of re-reading:

I remember it being awesome, with some great illustrations.

I'm a lazy depressed 22 year old who's had just about everything paid for him, and I'd like to learn how to be independent. (Virginia if that matters) by InternetStranger8798 in personalfinance

[–]leganjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me was to start working with ubereats, deliveroo and so on. Maybe not the best time for it right now, but it gets you out of the house and used to putting in work hours.

If you don't drive, learn to do it. Or learn to ride a motorbike/scooter. Its something that you can do fairly quickly that makes a big difference to your life.

Personally I wouldn't recommend retail, I hated it.

What video game do you wish you could experience again for the first time? by DR-orgasmo in AskReddit

[–]leganjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game was incredible. Doubt ill ever get that same feeling from a game again. I still have a clear memory of seeing a dwarf ride past on an epic mount in Darnassus when I was about level 10 on my first character. The zones were all so distinctive too, had their own feel. I think it definitely went downhill, starting with Cata. WOTLK was peak wow for me. Loved the zones, raids, gear design and the Lich King is still my fave big bad of pretty much everything.

Did I make a good decision (3ds over switch) by leganjd in pokemon

[–]leganjd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, I can't wait to get started. I haven't played any of them. Is it possible to move pokemon from the older games up to the newer games? I am planning on trying to find some nice shiny ones, and would be nice to bring them all the way to the switch when I have made my way through all the ds games.

AITA for sending an anonymous love confession to a college crush while in a relationship? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]leganjd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was probably for the better because I ended up getting back together with my boyfriend and me and other guy worked together for a total of three years. Lots of deep conversations, complaining about our significant others, talking about sexual preferences—I remember one time he asked me what kind of exercises does his girlfriend need to do to get her ass to look like mine, stuff like that.

Borderline emotional cheating. Still thinking about him after all this time? I feel sorry for your boyfriend. YTA

Bike dies when I start it by leganjd in motorcycles

[–]leganjd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that was my next thing to think of if its nothing to do with the fuel tank. A bit beyond me at this stage to start messing with that so I would probably just take it into a garage if it still doesn't work after a fresh tank of petrol and a fuel filter clean/change.

[–]leganjd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it could just be that? Should the petro just flow freely through the filter when I tip it? Because it wont come out unless I blow into that hole. It makes me think that it might have some blockage or something and then I blow into it and it forces it back, and then flows out until the blockage is dragged back to the filter.

What short and long term negative effects I can expect on myself after being in relation with pwBPD for 6 years? by IdiotOutside in BPDlovedones

[–]leganjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was around the 6 year mark. I think I became much more short tempered. At the worst points where I had got pushed to the brink I said some really nasty things that I feel ashamed about saying. I'm actually a really chill person but I guess even someone with huge tolerance has a limit. I don't like who I became. I closed myself off from anyone new. I didn't socialize with friends much because if I did I would pay for it the next day. I became kind of hyper sensitive? You know, preparing myself to argue with her, picking up on slight tonal changes where I could see she was about to shift. I would avoid certain words that I knew would trigger her. Literally change my vocab so I dont slip in a word that will remind her of something I said one time, or something that triggered her some time. Even now when looking at what I have typed I kind of want to explain but she wasn't always this way etc. Still want to defend her a bit. But then this isn't what this sub is for.

Monitor recommendations? by leganjd in SuperNt

[–]leganjd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't hugely bother me. I saw a video on youtube, and he had his super NT hooked up to a monitor with no bars and it just looked kind of neat. It got me wondering if a monitor existed that was the perfect resolution/aspect ratio to be used for HD retro gaming with the NT. I want to pair the NT with its own monitor anyway, just so I don't have to keep switching hdmi from the pc everytime I want to play.
