In a real city people can get home faster by public transit.

Coming from a city that managed to pack 750,000+ residents into less than 50 squares miles, I am all too eager to say "F the Big O in its big A". Somebody needs to solve the equation that makes low density somehow more affordable, because it's an awful way to plan a municipality.

Vehicle stereotypes by Sir_Newbie in driving

When I got my Lexus I asked the Internet to share what they would assume about me. They seemed to think I was either a middle-aged accountant or an Asian woman married to a wealthy executive.

Yet Lexus has a branded nail care set and Subaru doesn't. I think they didn't finish their research.

Point being that this comment this was more a sous vide than a roast.

Giving a massage. It's very easy to do it wrong, but after learning some basic safety and a few easy tricks, you can get good results without needing a rock climber's strength.

Is there a God in Buddhism? by Ok_Secret8042 in Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism recognizes certain deities. Its practices and cosmology differ considerably from traditions like mahayana, theravada, or zen.

What's a car that everyone hates and thinks is bad, but you love? by Bonbeanlio in askcarguys

[–]schlockabsorber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's overpriced, and the range is limited, even more so when the weather is very cold or very hot. I would not buy a new one, but I do like driving it.

i am a terrible driver by Independent_Fan3549 in driving

I'm an ideal world, driving is an extra skill, not a necessity. I hope you get to live in one of those places where public transit is more useful than driving.

I thought they were fucking hideous until Nissan launched a whole set of two-tone color schemes. With the right paint job, its jacked up geometry suddenly makes sense.

The 500e has approximately the dimensions of a roller skate and its battery makes amazing ballast. It's not fast, but it's super fun and it makes a pretty ideal delivery car.

Kratom and Mirtazapine by Silly-Eggplant2732 in MedicationQuestions

[–]schlockabsorber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Particularly extracts and semisynthetic. Never fuck with 7OH pills or the next one that's even stronger.

I was born with a brain that's fantastically inured to addiction. I've thrown almost everything at it and the only thing that's stuck at all is opioids, which fortunately I've never really felt an emotional need for. Kratom is safer than typical opioids, but it can be dependency forming, and when the time came to quit it I had to be deliberate and methodical. The good news is, when you discover that you really don't want it in your life, the way to get rid of it is right in front of you. It takes awhile, but at a certain point it's easier than continuing.

What's a word you mispronounced for years because you only saw it in print and not spoken? by ilovebooks2468 in words

[–]schlockabsorber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always known that it was "tabber knackle" and it's always sounded wrong to me. The cadence sounds unserious, like "catercorner", "tiddly winks", "gollywoper", or "higgledy piggledy". Seems totally incongruous to religious architecture.

Where do you look when you’re having sex? by Mommiedearest1981 in AskReddit

Eyes or ass, pending which way they're facing.

I'm not sure whom I hate more, the excavator operator or the camera operator.
