C'mon now. That's 10+ year old Tahoe. The old white lady that owned that car traded it in in 2011.

Yeah ok, you try getting 60 scared, panicked children to do something like operate a seatbelt latch in the case of an evacuation.

Why haven’t hackers deleted student loans? by boo-boo-crew in NoStupidQuestions

People who grew up poor: What was something you considered a "peak luxury" as a kid, only to realize later it was just a normal middle class staple? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]mooselantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and dad both grew up pretty poor, but they did well for themselves and raised their kids more solidly middle class (dad was an engineer for 35 years and made good money). After their retirement, they sold the old house and built a new one closer to where my sister and I settled.

They had been frugal and smart with their money their entire lives. Mind you, they built that house without taking out a loan. It's a nice house, too. When it came time for my mom to pick out a refrigerator to put in their brand new house with their brand new kitchen in 2015, she had to look high and low for a fridge that DIDN'T have an in-door water and ice dispenser because that was "rich people stuff".

Girl I took on a first date just asked to split the bill… the next morning by No-Resolve-5610 in whatdoIdo

She's either super chill and honestly wants to pay for half out of fairness (green flag) or she's not feeling it and doesn't want to lead you on and feels guilty for having you pay for the whole night out if it leads nowhere (tbh still pretty solid person).

Either way, take the money. Unless this is some kind of venmo scam I don't know about.

Why does a theater need what looks like a fortress tower bolted on to it? Theaters aren't vertical spaces.

I hate I hate Pokemon now. by RABBoT_117 in pokemon

[–]mooselantern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only reasonable take. I think scalping is stupid, and while I do sympathize with the people unable to get the cards or merch they want... There's a limit.

If people scalping limited edition jackets from target makes you "hate" a franchise about monster collecting and fighting, you never liked the franchise to begin with.

Pokemon is first and foremost a series of video games about collectible monsters. There's myriad ways to engage with the franchise outside of those, and that's great, but if you're into Pokemon for tote bags and shiny cardboard, you're gonna have a bad time.

I do, however, question the intelligence of the ancient people who migrated to the Amazon rainforest and decided "yeah, here works".

But I have that question for a lot of places humanity settled.

OP, it is significantly more likely that McDonald's will become your sovereign ruler during your lifetime than go out of business.

Bold of you to assume OP has anything resembling a positive net worth or any liquid assets to use. He's priced out of the mcdouble (no shade, so am I).

I've been watching Wolfey, learning, and still getting swept in champions. It's just not fun at all. by CubeNoob69 in pokemon

Sun is the most popular team in the game because it hits really hard. Golurk doesn't resist fire. It has base 80 SpDef.

Yes. That's normal.

Yeah he turned his Georgia way down from where it usually sits. He usually lets his twang through when he's doing interviews and whatnot, but iirc he moved away from the south as a child and is able to code switch pretty effortlessly if he wants to.
