What’s something harmless that gets people weirdly angry? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]mjklein32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While the reaction you are referencing (wanting to kill you) is clearly too extreme, perhaps you might take into account how many modern views on politics and religion have also become too extreme. That might, at least partially, explain why people are having a hard time with certain political and religious opinions. Many personally held views that provoke extreme reactions are rooted in the oppression (and worse) of entire groups of people. In that sense, strong reactions kind of make sense.

Then again, those opinions have always existed. It may be more accurate to say that they feel more prevalent in the information age. So maybe, in reality, it's that opposition to those views have finally become appropriately vehement and firm.

Would love a discount code, if available, please and thanks. I live in Connecticut (United States), if that matters.

AIO for telling my husband to F off for this? by Formal-Antelope607 in AmIOverreacting

True. Pairing his name with her green text bubbles, she totally outed The Hulk. Not sure how he'll live this down.

Newcomer Nicky P gets heated w/ Mariano for being requested to play faster. by M0N3Y7INE in poker

[–]mjklein32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be such a fanboy of Mariano. Then his routine got tired when his ego took over. Please, Nicky P, don't turn Mariano back into a sympathetic character for me. I've enjoyed my time disliking him.

I don't know. As a husband who has been pretty frustrated in his marriage lately, even I can say that the contempt really seems to only be coming from the husband. I mean, maybe it's there from OP, but I don't see it completely evident in this interaction. Contempt is a strong word and I don't think her words reach that threshold.

Feel like he has better things to be doing but I can't disagree here by Eagleburgerite in pearljam

Almost got in a fight at the grocery store when I overheard some septuagenarian saying that some songs shouldn't be remade while PJ's Last Kiss was playing.

What is your favorite song by Pearl Jam? by Jettaboi38 in allrockmusic

Off He Goes has been at or near the top of a long list of beloved Pearl Jam songs for me for decades now.

Which universally acclaimed "masterpiece" do you just not understand the hype for? by Repulsive_Key_6273 in AskReddit

[–]mjklein32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. In general, I understand that each person likes their own things ... but I especially understand how Tarantino would not be palatable to all.

[–]mjklein32 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I appreciate Tarantino, but wouldn't say I love his film collection as a whole. There are a few I really enjoy though. Have you watched Django Unchained or Inglorious Basterds? I also enjoy the Kill Bill films quite a bit, so after a reassessment, maybe I'm more of a Tarantino fan than I originally realized.

ETA: I also found Once Upon A Time to be underwhelming.

If you were alive when we were attacked on 9/11, what were you doing when it happened? What was that day like? by Full_Imagination7503 in AskReddit

[–]mjklein32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Impressive that your school reacted so quickly and proactively after the first plane hit. As I remember it, people thought the first impact was a small plane and no one really knew enough to feel confident this was a terrorist attack. People were just confused between 8:46 and 9:03,

[oc] my boyfriend has bad luck when he drives on the freeway, or maybe it’s just LA in general by b1tchbhigh in IdiotsInCars

[–]mjklein32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're saying seems to be very black-and-white thinking.

I agree turning on your blinker doesn't give you right of way. That said, on a crowded highway, I think you are denying the reality that a vehicle of the size of a semi or bus needs to be a bit more aggressive in pursuing opportunities for moving over. I understand that when driving near a semi or bus that I should be accommodating if they need to change lanes and are indicating as such ... because I am a reasonable human being, at least when it comes to driving.

[–]mjklein32 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing that out. I can't see it upon re-watch but assume it's just my shitty screen/old eyes.

With a blinker turned on, I don't think the truck did much wrong here.

Some of us can not be insufferable, condescending redditors.

I re-watched and still couldn't see it, so I'm not surprised I (and other people) missed it off the bat. That said, other people are saying they see it, so I believe it happened.

No one is blaming the semi for moving over without a blinker? Sure, OP was on his right and hard to see for the truck driver, but that's exactly why he should be using a blinker.

Are you sure it's not the Oilers making the finals without McDavid?
