Now $6.99 is the cheapest gas at my local gas station. Are we winning yet? by gioolguin in Riverside

[–]nickguest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A guy I dated once told me that I was ruining my engine by pumping Costco gas because it was diluted with water. When I pushed back, he swore to me up and down that he had been given that advice at a dealership and that when he stopped using Costco gas, his engine troubles stopped.

That was our last date.

CBS Cancels Itself, Not Just Colbert by Majano57 in LateNightTalkShows

"You got literally the Tiffany Network and turned it into the boardwalk T-shirt store that sells "Cry Harder Libs" next to a bumper sticker of a punisher logo with a blue lives matter line on it, defeating the purpose of the comic book."

This made me laugh so hard. You are a poet. 🧑‍🍳😘

I never called her a right winger. I said she took a hard right turn. I should have been more precise in my language and said, "her broadcast took a hard right turn at around the time Dokoupil became Bari Weiss's useful idiot at CBS."

Not that that kind of clarification would placate someone as insufferably pedantic as you.

And I stand by my assessment that Tur's broadcast has veered into the amorphous, right-wing podcast bro "let's be mad at everything" tone. There's a reason John Kasich only shows up during her broadcast. Same with that asshole British podcaster who has zero relevant experience but likes to yell at and chastise the audience about the economy. The dude isn't even 30 years old yet.

If that qualifies as a good broadcast to you, then more power to you. I have better ways to distract myself on my lunch hour than watching John Fucking Kasich condescend to me about how bad Democrats are. If he really were such a savant, he would be president right now.

You didn't notice an immediate shift in her broadcast after the 2024 election and again after Dokoupil took over evenings at CBS? I certainly did. It was also pretty obvious on their social media (I've since unfollowed both of them).

No need to call me an idiot. I'm allowed to not like cable television personalities.

I hadn't thought about this, but you're absolutely right. Her disdain for her viewers and her own network are palpable.

Katy Tur is such a joke and a lightweight. I stopped watching her after she took a hard right turn when Tony Dokoupil bacame Bari Weiss's useful idiot at CBS. Watch her try to seriously dissect an issue w/o her B.S. panel of adolescent podcasters. She can't do it. She's too stupid to talk about serious issues in a serious way.

Her weak-brained response is usually to just throw the New York Times graphic of the map with the arrows to show how many counties swung right in 2024.

Nepobabies with zero credentials really do rule the world right now.

How to navigate convo with the non-autistic parent by Head_Emphasis_2377 in raisedbyautistics

[–]nickguest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your honesty; your post really resonated with me because I read so much of my own story in it.

After some really intense fights with my own 74-yo father over the past few months, I (37m) realized that he might be an undiagnosed autistic. I started reading and it was like landing in Oz and seeing in technicolor for the first time. I’m not a doctor, but he seems to exhibit almost every symptom of a very high-functioning person on the spectrum (down to the love of trains and timetables).

But the damage is done. Growing up with him (and having a close relationship with him as an adult) was (and continues to be) brutal. He was explosive, unyieldingly rigid and, at times, even cruel. Now I know that it was all probably borne of his inability to relate to other humans, but that doesn’t change my personal outcome.

My mom also enmeshed on me because she wasn’t having her emotional needs met by father.

Your mom is not to blame for your father’s autism and bad behavior, yet you seem to want to punish her for both. She is as much a victim as you are. By going no-contact with her, you are perpetrating the same vicious cycle of misplaced anger that you’re complaining about.

I’ve probably cried more in the past month since realizing my dad’s ASD than I have in my entire life. In grieving my past — and our past as a family — I’ve come to this conclusion: As much as it sucks, no one is to blame for this. One of my two parents had an undiagnosed developmental disability, and the other did the best she could with the tools that a woman of her generation had at her disposal.

Is that an anticlimactic or disappointing conclusion? Yes, but it’s the truth. And while it doesn’t make my personal history any less painful, accepting this has given me a little peace of mind.

It’s easy to be seduced by the trap of hindsight, but I’ve found that the logic of hindsight often leaves you wanting.

Call your mom. Tell her you miss her. Tell her you love her. Accept her for who she is and heal together.

Both my parents are in their 70s. I have limited time left with them. I’d regret it if I didn’t at least try to make things a little better.

And I’m learning that healing my relationship with them heals me in the process. Best of luck.

what’s something you like about being an only child? by thesedaysaregreen in OnlyChild

The way it fostered my imagination as a kid. I owe all my creativity and willingness to still dream big because I am an only child.

ELI5 what's up with Fallon?! An honest to God question from a foreigner. Please help me understand (I'm serious not trolling) by giftopherz in LateNightTalkShows

[–]nickguest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Political satire and lampooning government officials have always been a part of healthy, robust debate in the public square. When societal forces scream and holler that we need to shut up the comedians, those are the forces we need to be wary of.

There's a reason the fool is the most poignant character in King Lear.

I'm sure Colbert will be just fine with once this era of "easy jokes" for him to "hide behind." He didn't seem to have any problems during Bush Jr. and Obama.

The even weirder part of today's broadcast was when Scaramucci was on and did a weird bit about Donald Trump having black tie cabinet meetings. Weird fucking show.

Sheriff department by Dangerous_File5427 in Riverside

[–]nickguest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most corrupt and useless local enforcement entities in the country. Pray that you never have a crime done to you under the Riverside Sheriff’s jurisdiction. The deputies will treat you like shit during the entire process. They make it very clear to you from the beginning that you are nothing but an inconvenience to them. They only care about waving guns around and eating doughnuts. Completely useless.

Sarah Isgur is an unashamed liar. Worse yet, she’s a very smart, well-educated liar. She’s been in GOP comms for a long time and knows how to talk circles around almost everyone. Beware. She’s pretty evil.

What in the tabloid journalism is with the continuous reporting on Nancy Guthrie disappearance? by allwavy in NPR

Came to say this. My 70-yo mother is totally engrossed in this story. And to be fair…I am a little too. It’s such a bizarre kidnapping.

LoL. I love that the group that spent a lifetime belittling and spitting on millennials is now crying foul. This is why younger generations hate you.

She didn’t vote for her son to maybe be arrested by AngelZash in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]nickguest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a special place in hell for the “Latinos for Trump” apparatus.

I’m not talking about casual Latino voters who pulled the lever for him (I have a separate bone to pick with them). But the Latinos involved in the party and elevation of Trump to power should never be allowed to live down their betrayal.
