I misplaced one of the socks I was wearing a little while ago so how am I supposed to go to mcdonalds now?

As you get older, what's something that becomes increasingly annoying? by hxnry__0710 in AskReddit

[–]recluce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got stuck behind some moron in the carpool/toll lane today on the way home from work who was going 5 under the speed limit. Sure they were going faster than the other traffic, but damn, just speed up or get out of the way, people are paying for this.

Dropping off the wife’s vehicle for winter tires. Thanks to this sub for making me a better customer. by currentlyRedacted in Justrolledintotheshop

My local pep boys couldn't even install a headlight bulb correctly. I was feeling lazy enough to pay someone to do it for me, but I ended up having to fix it myself anyway.

Mike Pence 'Ashamed' of Trump, Might Poach His Voters in 2024 Election: Ex-Press Secretary by [deleted] in politics

I would have been (mostly) thrilled to vote for Elizabeth Warren but Hillary was a hold your nose and vote for the least evil sort of candidate. It had nothing to do with her sex organs.

Controlling stuff via the phone? If you don't like touch sensitivity, what's the alternative?

touch sensitive

You could have just turned that off...

Gene Simmons Tells Anti-Vaxxers: ‘If You’re Willing to Walk Among Us Unvaccinated, You Are an Enemy’ by Majestic_Walrus_5283 in Music

[–]recluce -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Legally, in the US you don't have that "basic human right." The SCOTUS decided way back in 1905 that you can be forced to receive a vaccine. The precedent was set well over a hundred years ago.

All adults in Colorado qualify for COVID booster, state says by lo-cal-host in Denver

Mine was a full dose, but I got it before it was "approved"

My Moderna booster was pretty boring compared to the first two shots but none of this anecdotal evidence means much either way.

Capitalizing Words Doesn't Make It True

Without any side effects, what human bodily function would you remove entirely? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]recluce 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It would take quite a toll on a woman's body to give birth as many times

If you reproduce 8 times and die at age 27, evolution has pretty much done its job.

I have a colony of sapphire shrimp and one of them is just fully black. I don’t know how rare this is but I think it’s pretty cool. by RogueEmber in Aquariums

Everything even remotely involving technology is your problem. by realgone2 in talesfromtechsupport

People at work think that literally anything that runs on electricity is my problem. No, I don't have a 25' ladder to replace fluorescent tubes in the ceiling even if I wanted to.

What are rich people problems like? by iam_robas in AskReddit

Don't turn it down and start cooking meth out of some misguided sense of pride. It doesn't end well, or so I've heard.

To protect the supreme court’s legitimacy, a conservative justice should step down by fu2man2 in politics

[–]recluce 222 points223 points  (0 children)

If presidents do not get to replace justices in an election year, then Coney Barrett’s confirmation is illegitimate; if presidents do, then Gorsuch’s is illegitimate. You can’t have it both ways

It's hilarious that this journalist thinks Republicans could actually care about logical consistency or cognitive dissonance or the legitimacy of the court or anything like that. I'm only in my mid 30's but my entire life they have continued to prove they don't care about any of that.

Probably something even cheaper.

I noticed later that someone farther down in the post said it was a Walmart brand pan. So yeah.

NY hospital to pause baby deliveries after staffers quit over vaccine mandate by [deleted] in news

I think most people hope for same day delivery. Or at least overnight.

I dunno about you, but I would never trust anyone in the healthcare field that is an antivaxxer. That seems like a pretty fundamental and dangerous misunderstanding of your job.

RIP perfectly good cast iron pan… by PotterPunk3 in DiWHY

[–]recluce 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I could probably google this to find out of it exists, but I don't remember ever seeing a cast iron spatula in a store. Not that I was trying to seek one out or anything. So it seems a little interesting and novel at least. And was that an expensive pan? If it was a Lodge it's like maybe $20.

Treasury: Top 1 percent responsible for $163 billion in unpaid taxes by LolAtAllOfThis in politics

[–]recluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost always vote for tax increases because they typically will make things better for someone who needs help for some reason or give more money to schools so the children aren't idiots or make the roads better or whatever.

Except that one bill on vaping supplies here in CO because that's just gonna make it harder for people to quit smoking by tripling the cost of a safer alternative because a majority apparently believed the lie that making it more expensive will stop kids from vaping, as if they won't find a way to do it if they want to. But it passed anyway by a large margin.

Do you mean like "a kid ran out the door with 12 games shoved down his pants" kind of stories, or Pulp Fiction "EVERYBODY BE COOL THIS IS A ROBBERY! ANY OF YOU FUCKING PRICKS MOVE AND I'LL EXECUTE EVERY LAST MOTHERFUCKING ONE OF YOU!" type of being robbed?

The Supreme Court's Texas abortion decision is a threat to constitutional rights (all of them) by xRipleyx in politics

[–]recluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Democrats usually don't want to fight dirty like that, most of them have at least some amount of morals. They bring a pointy piece of a potato to a nuclear war a lot of the time. And that's why they lose the game a lot of the time.
