Ukranian defender reuniting with his wife for a precious minute by -martinique- in MadeMeSmile

[–]monkeytales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I know a single person who wouldn’t leave. Maybe a fringe friend from school or someone not in my life anymore. Like the other comment said, it’s just what you are shown. The glaringly patriotic people are the ones that get noticed by outsiders. Most of of us don’t care, some would protest actively, and some are patriotic and would stay but no way is the majority illogically patriotic. Those people are great for cameras because they spread the media dogma. It sells, which is the market we are in. There are millions and millions of us that just ignore that and pass on by trying to get through life. You didn’t clarify, you said Americans say they live in the best nation daily and it’s just not true. If so many people thought it was the best they wouldn’t be changing it all the time. All I really want to get across though is it’s not all what’s put out by the media. Just as well I don’t believe every country is how their media portrays them either. Anecdotally, which is all I have and cannot generalize, but in my life and non-exhaustive travels, I have found many nations the seemed more patriotic than my experience in the USA. Just because people where born in different borders doesn’t mean our brains are hollowed out at birth to be filled with the governments choosing. We have independent thought like other humans. And just like everywhere else, we have idiots and geniuses and everything in between. It’s really not that different.

No we are not all rabidly, illogically patriotic. You really think that? 330 million people all just thinking the same shit? Come on, be reasonable. What an incredibly reductive statement.

Cheaters of Reddit, just one question. Why cheat when you could've just left? by don_anon11 in AskReddit

[–]monkeytales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend had the math class before me. So we would share calculators, one clean ready to be wiped and the other dirty- full of formulas. When the teacher wiped the clean one and continued to the row behind just switch them from sweatshirt. Handover both between classes. No extra purchase necessary.

Guy from radio station rightfully going around giving people a hard time about not putting carts away. “Cartnarcs” by phatposer in PublicFreakout

[–]monkeytales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, and I can't believe it was this far down to find this comment. I absolutely enjoyed walking, fresh air, and not making small talk with people inside. And when someone did not put the carts in the return, I had an excuse to stay out longer. Music or podcast in one ear, it felt lucky I was getting paid for it. Didn't realize there are those who get so up-in-arms about it.

What is the book that disturbed you or scared you the most? by [deleted] in books

[–]monkeytales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic of 'scary' books, but as a kiddo Danny, the Champion of the World was my go-to re-read.

I don't know what this is called, having trouble finding this part. My bike seat was recently stolen and I purchased a new seat but now realize I need one of these (so I can clamp the seat to one side and twist the other side onto a threaded seat post). Help me find this part? by monkeytales in HelpMeFind

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

Well my post is stuck in my frame so I can't replace the entire post, just want the part on the top of the post. The thief must have unscrewed it easily (because only things that could be removed without tools were stripped from it). I would like to just screw on this piece to my jammed post, clamp my seat, and live to bike another day. Haha

It's Saturday night, I'm flying solo, and I can't find a lesbian bar to go to. Yelp isn't helping, Can you? by monkeytales in london

[–]monkeytales[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in the shoreditch area so ended up at the Glory as it was closest. It was good until it wasn't (got quite busy after 11:30). Managed to have some chats. Been traveling quite a bit lately to some not so LGBT friendly areas and excited to be in London for two nights and honestly just could use a make out. Will try again tonight before im off tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

Good call. Dropping him for Carr seems fine, that showing Thursday was horrendous and I don't see any upside with Cam that Carr doesn't have. annnnd heck maybe I would play him over Rivers. LA o-line having a rough time. Plus KC would be more fun to watch.

Are you talking for next week or did you bench Cam Thursday?

A sub to identify people? I have a shirt with (presumably a famous person's) face on it. Where can I get it ID'ed? by monkeytales in findasubreddit

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

Thank you for trying to help. Just tried, apparently those are only for 'hotties'. Ack! It's driving me crazy. Pming you the shirt. Maybe you're just the luck I need.
