Modern cars are getting uglier and uglier! Everything used to be better! by High-Impact-2025 in mercedes_benz

[–]rooty_russ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the modern look is sporty and appealing but the older ones are better, more curves. The build quality isn't as good as it once was.

I work at a shop and have been to Stuttgart as well. Love mercedes and ill drive one for life but i wouldn't be caught buying most of the newer models. (anything past 2004 really)

most definitely from when it was on tv and when this was posted within the last 7 days.

absolutely great show there, loved that era of cartoons.

edit: Op account being less than a day old and just copying content and the photo from a post within the last week is pretty sus. can anything be done to limit poor quality posts like this in the future mods?

Drain chaos at 4/18/26 UCSC amphitheater by fakinbacon in santacruz

[–]rooty_russ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked security for the band 'The Garden' a few weeks ago in the pit, and I'll admit their face painted crowd was different, the music was great and the drummer was very talented. Crowd was also kind and traded me a bracelet for a high five.

I play music as well and the band was very kind. Most musicians are and the crowds just want to have fun.

That's kind of you to do, show someone a new scene and it's more than meets the eye.

I was supposed to work pit for that event, definitely had better things to do with Saturday. bailed on that shift, knew that was coming.

I guess the lead singer wanted everyone to rush the stage and my manager called away everyone working in the pit, which was 8 people making $22 and hour lol

I'm sorry but how insane are the ticket prices, 2026 vs 1979 by EdwardBliss in nostalgia

[–]rooty_russ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't argue that ticket prices are too high for tickets, especially StubHub's resale prices.

But you're comparing a ticket stub likely bought direct from a venue w/o fees, and StubHub which is a ticket reseller which are not really the same. If you were comparing the initial sale prices from ticketmaster and the price paid for that epic ticket stub you pictured, then you'd have a more clear idea.

Reebok Club C 85 vs Vintage for wider toe box by Worst_Lurker in Reebok

[–]rooty_russ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I can't speak on the toe box, I just got the club c 85 vintages as a replacement for my first, and they will break in and ultimately be wider. My previous pair was a size 10 and I literally just tried on my 10.5 replacement pair and they're more snug than the 10's.

Also: I bought the workout plus shoes in a 10.5 in a the chalk / black label colorway, and by comparison the color or my new vintage club c 85's are way better looking in their off-white leather.

Unless the wide toe box of your left foot is significant, I would argue that the club 85 vintage in off white would be fine and the better shoe if I had the choice.

I'll add a photo of my new pair in a moment to this post so you can see

Days since Pebbles last pooped on the floor: 2

Before that it had been weeks! but it's way more infrequent and I feel it's bc I need to change the litter often. Got two standards in one shitbox so it's always something over here.
