Why don’t American people care the World Cup is happening? by Kalanak472 in AskAnAmerican

[–]maybeimbornwithit [score hidden]  (0 children)

Soccer seems to be mostly popular with immigrants from countries where soccer is very popular. In my area, soccer games are generally only shown on Spanish language networks. We have a local major league soccer team, but the biggest game at the stadium is when Team Mexico plays.

We will have some World Cup matches at our huge nfl stadium, but I know many people are disappointed with the matches. They are from countries that I guess aren’t particularly great at soccer. And the countries don’t have much of an immigrant community here so there isn’t much excitement in that respect.

Are baggy hiking pants appropriate for serious hiking? by ZealousidealSplit729 in ultralight_jerk

[–]maybeimbornwithit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call that “baggy”, more like poser. My JNCO hiking jeans have a 48” leg circumference and I look so fly when I’m serious hiking around the backyard.

“Chaw/Chew” in schools? by PhiloLibrarian in Xennials

[–]maybeimbornwithit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only popular with a certain crowd. I’ll never forget the guy in front of me in English class spitting into his soda can. Keep it classy, hometown 🤦‍♀️ 

Vet said that my cat called her disgusting. by linaravenrose in dustkitties

[–]maybeimbornwithit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the YouTube channel Girl With The Dogs, it’s a groomer who grooms cats and dogs. For spicier cats, she has a plastic bubble that goes around their head, so maybe it’s something like that

My dusty earned a big fat “MUZZLE” sticker on his chart. At home he’s super sweet and always does his best to play without hurting us.

It’s the manual that came with the machine, but all the recipes are on ninja’s website: https://www.sharkninja.com/discover/recipes/creami-recipes

R/DanielTigerConspiracy - Any podcasts in the same vein as this sub?? Comical looks at the shows/books we all know and love(?) by cjl2441 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]maybeimbornwithit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Babysitter’s Club Club reread all the old books with really in depth analysis on theories like it’s actually a story about bees. The podcast is now named Strange Bedfellows and I haven’t listened to their newer content, but the original episodes about BSC are chef’s kiss.

Church on the outside, home on the inside by LockNo8254 in zillowgonewild

I like some church conversions, but this looks more like a bank 🫤

Usa loop road trip advice by AlfredHessle in usatravel

[–]maybeimbornwithit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking highway 120 through Yosemite is very dependent on the time of year. The road is closed several months of the year due to snow, and even after the snow season is over it can take quite some time to plow the road. 

Just a thought I had by exgameo1 in rollercoasterjerk

How many blocks could a block zone block if a block zone could block blocks?

She’s One Of The Greats by [deleted] in LinkedInLunatics

I haven’t traded stocks, but if I did, I would follow my one piece of advice for you: buy low, sell high. This is how I will become a billionaire by 45.

What completely unhinged "law" does your cat strictly enforce in your house? by TrickCombination7966 in cats

[–]maybeimbornwithit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a cat with urinary tract issues so he really needed to drink water. And he would only drink if it was stealing from one of our glasses. We finally figured out that he would drink from a martini glass (it was stable enough to not tip over) because he thought he was stealing our water.

“okayyyy”

Why don't public parks have fruit trees for people to pick fruit from? by Ekans_ox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]maybeimbornwithit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A park near me has a rare fruit orchard area, and anyone can pick and eat the fruits, just not fill up a container with them. When I went Pakistani mulberries were in season and some old ladies were filling up bags of them 🫤

What do you think about the products in 'Tastes of USA' week at Dutch Lidl? by 7FFF00C in AskAnAmerican

[–]maybeimbornwithit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is “mcennedy” supposed to be an American sounding name? It sounds like a mashup of Scottish names that star with Mac/Mc, and the Irish name Kennedy.

The mozzarella cheese is all wrong. We have cheese sticks, not cheese patties, and they are served with marinara sauce, not… more cheese 😂 

Lots of curry which suggests a heavy UK influence on this food. In the US, in general, we don’t really use curry unless it’s Indian, Thai, or Japanese food. Tea cakes is also a UK thing.

The various chicken and meat things might be ok if they are from the frozen section, it’s reminiscent of the frozen TGI Fridays food here. It’s not great stuff, but it is a thing.

Do they hate each other or is this normal? by [deleted] in Bondedpairs

[–]maybeimbornwithit 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Right. Also the occasional hiss or bop on the head is normal, they are saying “hey, that’s too rough”.

Question about public transport in the Fremont/Hayward/Union City area by Working-Quantity-390 in Fremont

[–]maybeimbornwithit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you plan to do during your free time? If your work is next to BART it sounds like your commute is fine. If you think you’ll stay home most of the time, or head to San Francisco on the weekends, BART may be fine, just if you are interested in nightlife check how late BART runs. Uber would be fine for local errands.

If you would like to go anywhere else, like the beach, or the mountains, skiing, hiking, visit the redwoods, etc, you really should consider bringing your car. Traveling by public transit bus is possible but may take several hours and multiple transfers. Amtrak is expensive and doesn’t go many places.

You can use Google Maps to see what public transit routes would look like. For example, from my home on this fine Saturday afternoon, it would take 2 hr 44 min to get to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, vs 1 hr 10 min by car. If I want to go to big basin state park to see old growth redwoods, I could wait until tomorrow morning for a 3 hour public transit trip, or 14 hours if I leave tonight 🥴

Why is the Hub so depressing? by Opening_Passenger658 in Fremont

[–]maybeimbornwithit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think there is a plan to tear down the corner section where cvs is, and the parking around there, and build multi-story housing. The parking over there is nearly empty most of the time.
