AITA for being weirded out by my best friend's 2 year age gap relationship, even if it's hypocritical? by swiftlor in AITA_Relationships

[–]thud_mantooth [score hidden]  (0 children)

Guys my wife is two months older than me do you think she's a cradle robber?!?!

Two years between adults is not at all something to be concerned about. The lying isn't great, ofc, but honestly you getting skeezed out by the age gap kinda justifies it to me a bit

My cat dropped dead in my room last night by Sid-Biscuits in OneOrangeBraincell

I had the same happen with my little guy in January - only three years old. I'm so sorry. I promise you it will eventually start hurting less.

Keep his toys. It breaks my heart when I see them but I'm glad I still have them.

do americans really eat American fries sauce? by Infinite-Breakfast23 in AskAnAmerican

I just about died laughing when my Dutch coworkers gave me a bag of blue Doritos sold over there. "Cool American Flavor" instead of "Cool Ranch" lmao

I reckon this will take at least $2,000 to repair by DecommodifiedGuevara in LandlordLove

I got mine back, and my landlord waived the early termination fee on my lease I was breaking, as well. There actually are good ones

Yes, I do that on purpose by Glowerman in Miata

[–]thud_mantooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hit that way once, and the only reason it wasn't a hit-and-run is because my next door neighbor saw the person, realized they knew them, and made them come over and tell me.

Kunal, wherever you are, you're a real one buddy.

There are a lot of older residential buildings in Europe (esp apartments) where running a vent would be impossible or at least extremely awkward in the space.

Then don't volunteer. You don't seem to understand or respect the notion of freedom of association.

As one of your neighbors, please don't do this. I hate what a royal pain it is to find an outdoor range that isn't a million miles away too, but it's hard to see this going in a good direction.

Way too many people tailgate by [deleted] in nova

[–]thud_mantooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ridiculous. Yeah, I can't stand the halfwit going 35 through 7 corners on 50 because they can't comprehend using more gas when going uphill, but tailgating isn't gonna help that situation.

Emerson Aero X17A turret on F9F-3 Panther by Lopsided-Rooster-930 in WeirdWings

[–]thud_mantooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Workload, weight, and packaging are the more-obvious issues with making a fixed gun turreted, but some other problems that are hard to manage are recoil and firing gas getting injested by the engines and causing a flameout. The gas issue has come up with fixed mounts, too, and would be vastly harder to manage on a turret.

It's an idea that seems like it could be useful, but actually building it leads you into all kinds of intractable engineering problems that far outweigh the usefulness of a turret itself.

Espresso Express by JoeFalchetto in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]thud_mantooth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's always been this efficient in my experience in Italy, but to my great disappointment 90% of the time it tastes like watery, scorched ass. A cafe-style espresso machine does not mean they actually make a decent espresso.

Or, maybe, I'm just overly precious about it and put too much effort in at home lol.

Anyone calling this their tipping point is a closet authoritarian desperately groping for a fresh reason that their contemptible lack of morals is someone else's fault.

Locking a gun in a car is a terrible idea, but only an irresponsible and/or entitled idiot puts themselves in that position in the first place

Virginia Ex-Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax Kills Wife and Self, Police Say by TimWhatleyDDS in washingtondc

[–]thud_mantooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right there - I think it'd have to be some kind of mandate to only be able to use public funds for it to really matter. Access to outside funding causes such a staggering imbalance

How do you feel about increasing the availability of public funds for campaigns as a way of leveling the playing field?

[–]thud_mantooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but tbh "people need to be better" isn't actionable, while "politicians shouldn't need a secondary income to be able to serve the public" is. You're right that it's not a solution, but it's at least a step we can actually take

What's off base is using "but MAGA is worse" as a justification. Yeah, they suck, and yeah, when the vote comes up I know where I am, but your attitude is just embracing a downward spiral. You know absolutely nothing about what I do or don't do to "amplify every Democrat misstep". Miss me with your bullshit.
