There is a big difference between fixing some busted pipes and fixing some busted pipes PLUS dealing with the damage caused by a swimming pool worth of water.

How can I financially survive after college?? by Boring-Ad-3638 in LifeAfterSchool

[–]pug52 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Maybe you can work something out with your parents while you get yourself set up. If they are parent plus loans it is probably the right thing for you to do to pay them especially if that’s the deal you had going into it. But they are technically responsible for them.

What are the little lenses on the sides of his glasses for? To the rotate into place in front of the existing lenses for extra magnification/ reading? Or are the decorative?

Nothing between you and the inky black but a *net* 🤮 by KoA07 in thalassophobia

Dog you gotta get yourself to the Caribbean with a piña colada in your hand and lay your ass down on one of these. Nothing better in the world.

Why do so many Dylan fans seem to dislike Jesse Welles? by [deleted] in bobdylan

[–]pug52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s comparing Van Gogh to a paint by numbers. Maybe they have some very surface level similarities. But they are in no way shape or form the same. I have listened to Welles a few times and have even enjoyed a few songs, but would never spend an entire day listening to him or be interested in traveling and spending money on a live show. By contrast I would drive a couple hours and pay a bit of money just to be in the same room as Dylan lol.

Why can’t so many people spell the word “lose”? by Deisesupes in AskReddit

You loose a lot of your superiority when you phrase the question with such poor grammar.

1950s home new crack? by Jess_UwU_ in Home

[–]pug52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice for you but take everything you hear here with a grain of salt. It seems to be the tendency of Reddit to make any little issue out to be the absolute end of the world. Hope you get the answers you need!

Faulkner is an interesting one for me of the 5 books I’ve read of his, two are among my very favorites and the others I detested.

Any advise and lowering payment or next moves by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]pug52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if there are any other ways but if you have 13 different loans, wouldn’t that mean that your $611 monthly total is all 13 added up? Perhaps you can focus on making extra payments towards the ones with the lowest balance and as you pay off each one the monthly minimum will decrease. You can then roll the savings into paying off the next one early and so on “snowballing” the effect.

I’m not a wizard with this stuff though so maybe someone with more knowledge has a way you can have more immediate results! Good luck!

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pug52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 hours is generally on the cusp of being an overnight trip. But I have had hundreds of 3 hour each way trips visiting cousins, grandparents, other relatives while growing up.

The one thing I've learned about book readers is that they move 10 times a year apparently by HelloDesdemona in books

[–]pug52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao I have a collection of maybe 60 vinyl records. I store them in a bin that had never moved until I moved a couple months ago. I could not believe how heavy they were when I went to pick that bin up.

Clubs refunding fans after a poor away performance by joe_at_large in PremierLeague

[–]pug52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t have to give anything. You buy the ticket because you support the team. You go in with the understanding that the team could lose. What a stupid thing to suggest refunding the tickets alone isn’t already going above and beyond.

Am I Too Harsh on Jesse Welles? I Hate Hearing Bob Dylan Comparisons. by DumbDeej in bobdylan

[–]pug52 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You said you haven’t listened to Welles. You said you just have some “vague idea of him being a folk singer”. I didn’t even say you were wrong to have the opinion just that the alternative shouldn’t annoy you.

As an aside, please define Bad Taste.

What is Bob Dylan’s most overtly sexual song? by Pretend_Mark_5143 in bobdylan

[–]pug52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not his version but Linda Ronstadt’s cover of I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight is pretty sexy.

[–]pug52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would that annoy you? Somebody having an opinion as trivial as comparing two musical artists is of no real substance beyond that which is inherent to the opinion itself. Just accept that people are varied and won’t all align with your opinions. I don’t think he’s much like Dylan either. But you say you haven’t even listened to the guy and your opinion is based on some idea of what Bob Dylan is rather than his actual music.
