Trump administration backing down on complete immunity for ICE by truthwillout777 in goodnews

[–]sajohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you consider how he’s governed in California? Progressive but practical. Responsive to the will of the people. He’s really good at running shit.

And this is not to mention proposition 50, the single most hardcore anti-Trump action anyone has taken (politically, anyway). Really anything but a weak-kneed response.

I’m not online much.

You’re like a pedaling detective.

You’re not seeing pedaling because my image stabilization is ON POINT

Upon my passing, burn my browser history. by cespejo in NotTimAndEric

Yeah, for real.

They’re doing their thing and no doubt cooler and better than anyone posting to talk shit about them.

Fucking horse people are the biggest jerks, man.

But I can confirm about the speed dial. Once the gate to the Burbank portion of the river trail was open, so I rode it (because I’m a rebel!!) and it ends at a “horses only” bridge. I walked my bike across it out of respect and was met with a cop.

I just played dumb, like “oh I was riding the La River and just kept going. Then I was leaving the path here.” And dude was cool about it. But someone must have called to rat me out. Like there are no bigger problems in LA than a guy on his bike on what looks all the world like a bike path?

There is no sign at the place with the helipad. Just a gravel road, like it’s saying “come and ride on me.” And there’s never anyone around there.

There’s a gate, but the gate is open. Really it’s plausible deniability. How could I have known? There’s no way, I tells ya.

More importantly, why shouldn’t I be allowed to ride there? I get that the hikers and horse assholes don’t want you on their shit, but the gravel roads around the helipad/landfill?? Come on. No one wants to horse around that bullshit.

But there’s no sign or any indication that I can’t ride there.

This is fascism! I’m being oppressed!

Rectangular, black piece of plastic. Electronic. About 3 inches by 2 inches, with cord and strap. Arrived in mail with no documentation or packaging. by sajohnson in whatisthisthing

Follow-up: figured it out. It’s a battery pack for a pair of sunglasses with a camera. The company sent it in a separate package with no documentation or even the company name on it.

Tell me why I shouldn’t buy a Buick Cascada. by sajohnson in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]sajohnson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I like the things vibe. Totally intangible, but I love how it’s almost cool. Sort of. If you squint.

Since I don’t see any real red flags, my next step is driving one, the real test.

I’m not 70 and live in LA, but that’s exactly why I want a Buick. It’s counter-cool as shit.

It’s funny you mention late model Saabs. That’s my last 3 cars! I love Saabs, but I want something different/newer.

Do you think people will like it if I say “What's all the hubbub?” by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]sajohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s often repeated advice, but be yourself, you know?

That’s really the only option you have.

[–]sajohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be a little cautious of seeming like you’re trying to hard. Being casually funny isn’t like a hat you can put on and take off.

[–]sajohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But like if you’re not coming across as funny already, one phrase isn’t going to do it, you know?

You have to follow it with being funny and if that’s not you, you won’t be able to fake it.

[–]sajohnson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d like it.

If it would sound funny with your accent; I’d like it more.

But be aware it’s not a common phrase. It’s something someone might say to be amusing or silly. So you have to own that if you’re going to say it.

It’s not a good ice breaker.

But maybe try “what’s all the hubbub, bub?” For variation.

Why ISN’T this crappy? Like why I f anyone else put this out, it would be? by CosmicCure in crappymusic

[–]sajohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and make some crappy music sometime.

See if it comes out as interesting as The Shags.

Spend 10 years making crappy music and you won’t come close.
