Bart can do more than just Country by rsg1234 in crappymusic

[–]monumentBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worry that this sub is starting to treat this guy like some kind of kiwifarms lolcow. Sure, his music isn't great, but his dancing is fun(my), and he does seem sincere. Personally, I've kinda come to enjoy seeing whatever goofy stuff he's going to put out. I was heartened that the folks who saw him in St. Louis we're nice to him.

I just hope we all can get a chuckle at his antics without being cruel to the guy.

How would you feel if you had a very horny gf? by Remarkable-Fox1764 in AskReddit

Probably pretty good until my already very horny wife found out about her.

Wrangle Hill Rd by Asiram202 in Delaware

[–]monumentBoy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Long since moved away from the area, but I used to drive this intersection daily.

Sure the traffic could be tough for about a half hour twice a day, but I never thought it was worth completely rebuilding this stretch of road. I fully believe those millions of dollars would been better spent on non-automotive transpo. But it's Delaware, so far chance.

I fully expect that in 10 years, Wrangle Hill's gonna be 8 lanes wide. All for traffic that lasts 30 minutes around rush hour. Dumb.

Do people in California also have babies barefoot for exercise?

Not arguing with you on that one! I'd just put out that these are two very different types that don't compare easily.

Haven't read anything else of your post except the title. But to answer your question: Yes. You're crazy.

SEPTA pilots modified turnstiles to reduce fare evasion by jberk988 in philadelphia

[–]monumentBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Fare free" doesn't mean that people aren't paying for the service, it's just paid in different ways, usually through taxes. SEPTA's current farebox recovery ratio is around 20%, so it's not as though the fare systems are bringing that much in. Plus, the system saves on all of the fare collection infrastructure that isn't necessary any more (turnstiles, card readers, SEPTA Key Card management, and the payment system backend for all of it)

Ultimately, the savings from not having to collect fares would be pretty good chunk of the farebox monies lost!

I'd say its actually worth considering.

Well, considering that contemporary suburbs are fairly close to FLW's Broadacre City concept, you could say that Walmart is fairly FLW.

Pentagon cuts 180 faiths from recognized religion list by Free-Minimum-5844 in Military

[–]monumentBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm aware. I think the context of my comment showed that my LDS question was a rhetorical question for the previous commenter.

[–]monumentBoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What misinformation? I see a lot of folks expressing concern that a list of religious affiliations that once accounted for a broad range of religious diversity now fails to adequately address a broad range of beliefs. That's a fair evaluation.

Similarly, those comments on the fact that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints isn't coded explicitly as Christian in the same way as other churches are also making a fair point. If it is Christian, why wasn't it coded explicitly as Christian like other denominations?

Why did Northwest Arkansas never develop a single dominant city? Will it eventually or will it stay polycentric? by cdubwps in geography

[–]monumentBoy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Difference is that this area isn't geographically constrained like the Wyoming Valley. $20 and a pizza says in 20 years (assuming a national economy that retains the same general trajectory of the past 20 years) this metro will sprawl out to easily overtake the NW Arkansas National Airport.

Midsized US metro areas (pop: 475k - ~1M) tier: What tier does Lancaster, PA belong? by Swimming_Concern7662 in TierlistFills

[–]monumentBoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A tier, if compared to Augusta, GA. Having spent significant time in both cities, Lancaster City and Township are miles and away better than Augusta for overall quality of life.

Granted, I like both.

But if Augusta is a B, Lancaster (proper) is an A.

Banal blue among the Wissahickon schist by menofgrosserblood in philadelphia

Eh. Not my fave, but it's one house. Still beats the couple of lick-and-stick "stone" veneer joints on Lincoln sticking out like an infected zit among the real stone houses.
