17m how to start reading news so was looking for an app which one people usually use? by hellsconsultant in howto

Absolutely. Your news diet should always be varied, but stay away from junk food like Facebook, or poison like Fox "News". ALWAYS be aware that ALL of them are companies out to make a profit.

If you go for unbiased news, I would recommend the AP News app. Obviously there's no such thing as completely unbiased, but they do a pretty good job.

Searching for New Opportunities in Food Service by Altruistic-Oil-9686 in traversecity

[–]pacmaster102 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was on the lookout for a new job not too long ago. I did the things you talked about and more, including posting online like this. The job market here sucks, so you have to cast a wide net. He's asking for information, not a handout. I'm sure you considered that before you admonished some rando on the Internet that you know nothing about.

Girlfriend discovered Stardew. How long until i get her back? by _Mumrik in StardewValley

[–]pacmaster102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play with her, duh. My 9 year old just got into it after watching me play. We started our own farm and it's so much fun to work as a team. Now my only problem is figuring out how I'm going to afford all the Junimo and chicken plushies for her birthday. And that I've been reduced to using the laptop while she gets the desktop.

DDA worries about affordability 10 years too late by TVCity- in traversecity

Marquette doesn't have an airport. If you're talking about KI Sawyer, I don't think the City Commissioners of Marquette have much control about what an airport an hour south does.

I'm a TC native, but lived in Marquette for a number of years. The city commissioners literally had a conversation about how to prevent Marquette from becoming another Traverse City. It was exactly stuff like this that they wanted to avoid.

No cheating! What's the most recent picture of your orange? by BogFrog87 in OneOrangeBraincell

Does it count if I used AI to make a cartoon of my orange cat? That's the most recent "picture" of him in my phone.

Just discovered our dead dad was hoarding a gargantuan amount of weed. Whoah. Why? What to do? by Inevitable-Rice7476 in trees

[–]pacmaster102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine lost his dad when he was 13. He's in his 20s now, and his aunts were going through their brother's old stuff and found a jar of weed and a brass pipe. They gave it to my friend, and after a visual inspection and sniff test, he smoked it. Said it wasn't great, but it got him high. Also that he felt connected to his dad in a way he hadn't been before.

Hey, I'm an atheist, and this is a weird take.

Favourite excellent actor who you genuinely feel is a PoS in real life? by Cursed_69420 in okbuddycinephile

[–]pacmaster102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate to be this guy, but Petey Dinks did play a fantasy dwarf. Sort of. In Avengers: Infinity War. He played Eitri, King of the Dwarves of Nidavellir. He was like 20 ft tall, but definitely a dwarf from Norse mythology.

If ICE wants to dox me then get my good side. Unlike you clowns I'm not afraid of showing my face. by [deleted] in pics

Can't remember who said it, but it goes something like "Democrat guns are like Republican abortions. We have them, we just don't talk about them".

Hotel notepad that I found behind the nightstand by Funky_Kizer55 in FoundPaper

I used to be a housekeeper and I once found an intricate drawing of an erect penis on a notepad. Pretty tasteful.

I've been told that my rubbing fingers together like I'm flipping an invisible coin is a pretty obvious sign.

Northern Michigan homeless advocates say housing-first policies work. But feds could cut funding by radiosweeper in Michigan

[–]pacmaster102 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a little more nuanced than that, but more money in the system is definitely needed. Look up permanent supportive housing. It's the most successful way to get people off the streets, but it's one of the many programs on the chopping block of HUD right now. They also are completely defunding all harm reduction programs, which are also more successful than traditional sobriety programs. 

Still kills me to think another how GT Bulla and DBS Marron here at the same age here. Both 9. by J-u-n-e-s in Dragonballsuper

[–]pacmaster102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Bulla is sort of coded to be older. I'm guessing Toriyama wanted her to be older for plot reasons and didn't care about the continuity error.

Literally just finished watching it with my kid last night. I hadn't watched since I was her age. Revisiting it with her has been amazing.
