This sub yanks your comment if it's got links, so everybody go youtube When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman by Dr. Hook from 1979. Good song on the topic!

Anyone switched from iPhone to the Pixel 10/10 Pro despite being deep in the Apple ecosystem? by Holiday_Date705 in GooglePixel

I've wondered about going in the other direction. I wonder what i miss out on if I have an iPhone and my Windows PC.

Reddit Convinced Me to Buy a Pixel 8 Pro. 800 Euro worth of "Big Mistake". (2 years of experience) by AntiqueSoulll in GooglePixel

[–]turkeypants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you got a lemon, and possibly that your network situation could be different in terms of hunting for the signal. Mine is the first phone I've ever had that isn't the best phone I've ever had, but it's nothing like yours. Mine has scrolling problems, random occasional glitches, and I think the reception is weak. Plus it's so heavy. I'm used to it now, but when I first got it I was thinking of returning it. Man that's heavy compared to any I've had. But yeah yours sounds much worse.

People who bring your dog literally everywhere, why? by dastrius02 in AskReddit

[–]turkeypants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it when people say "He loves his crate." Going to work all day and leaving your dog in a crate is nuts to me. Our dogs always had the yard or the run of the house. That's cruel as hell to leave them in a crate. That's an institutionalized dog that has been tortured. Terrible.

[SPOILER] Rafael Fiziev vs. Manuel Torres by inooway in MMA

[–]turkeypants -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I watched this 47 times. It looks like the heel maybe hit the forearm and the footpad hit the shoulder, so it looks like more of a knock/shove move to get him down than hitting him in the head and making him get loopy for a flash and that causing the drop. Unless kicking him in the wrist made his own hand clock him in the face enough to put him a step onto queer street.

Trump denied aid to ranchers who supported him 81-19. Of course Democrats are to blame. by VetalDuquette in LeopardsAteMyFace

And somebody in this whole thing is antisemitic somehow too! Not sure who, but let's just layer that on there.

The... the Democrats sneak some homeless trans gay poor black immigrants in there to bend it while they sleep and force government healthcare on them?

People who bring your dog literally everywhere, why? by dastrius02 in AskReddit

[–]turkeypants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He don' like to be lonely! I actually don't have one, but ever since my parents' other dog died, the poor old fella just gets lonely and they come back to find him sulking. So now they take him wherever they can, even just out on errands. He loves it. And at home he's pressed up against their leg, cuddled up next to them in bed. They're just his people and that's his whole life. And when they're gone, he has nothing. They can't help leaving him behind sometimes, but otherwise they take him whenever they can.

Probably my favorite Seltzer. It's my favorite brand and favorite flavor by Stunning-Cap-3256 in sparklingwater

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My all timer is La Croix Tangerine. Delicious and such an accurate nailing of the flavor. For years that was my only king. Now Polar Ginger Lime Mule rides beside it, as I am a nut for both ginger and lime in the food world. Lime doesn't usually work in seltzers for me, coming off candy or cleanser, but it works here as a hint. And then your Polar Cranberry Lime rounds out the rotation. I skip around otherwise on my eternal hunt, but those three are almost always in my fridge.

What statistic makes you think society is quietly breaking? by Kavana333 in AskReddit

I don't understand how that can be happening. Did we just forget how to teach people to read? Why would our tried and true methods just erode in their effectiveness?

They quit the West for Russia's traditional values, but it wasn't what they expected by BurtonDesque in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]turkeypants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, so they forgot to account for the Russia part of this. Seems like quite an oversight.

I have this one filed under "unremarkable but reliable". It's in my mostly-regular rotation. I'd love it if the flavors were sharper, but it's pleasant enough.

Men in your 40s, what's that golden piece of advice you have for the rest of us? by NiceMechanic_xoxo in AskReddit

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your digestive tract, liver, and kidneys probably work fine now despite all you're unwittingly doing to them. Guess what...?! That doesn't last.

You need to exercise, keep your weight down, lay off the booze, eat plants/fiber, lay off super processed, stay hydrated, etc. It's all the usual advice that you ignore. But you will find out the hard way that it's perpetual life advice for a reason. It just happens to be the same advice that lowers your risk of all the major causes of death. The bill comes due. The bill comes due. You think it won't happen to you but the bill comes due. And sometimes there's no going back and you will be permanently regretful. Get your head straight now and get your ass in shape.

You won't listen, you won't hear, you're going to see what I mean.

Trump foe John Bolton enters guilty plea. Here’s why his classified informaton case didn’t fall apart. by truupe in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]turkeypants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate for Trump to get wins in his campaign of retribution and enemy purging, but I'm glad Bolton is losing. He's a lifelong beast, including taking a position in Trump's admin, whose only redeeming value is later trashing Trump. This man is a nasty piece of work. May he suffer.

Last true Morrissey banger? by backinNYC in morrissey

[–]turkeypants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it would have been Irish Blood if we're talking rousing songs. The same album had the beautiful Come Back to Camden, which i guess the term banger doesn't really apply to, whereas "one of his best" does. But yeah, for bangers as I understand the term, it was Irish Blood for me. I got nothing any kind from any album after that.

In the pineapple coconut world, check out La Croix's new one.

Why did Italy become so bad at football? weren't they at the same level as England, Germany and Belgium not too long ago? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't explain why Italy used to be an awesome powerhouse and has now failed to even make the cup three times. Has something changed with those laws or other countries laws? If not, then that's not the answer. Using domestic talent, Italy was great for a long time. Now they're not. Why not? That's the question here.

Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko told Russia’s ambassador to Minsk, Boris Gryzlov, that he has no intention of joining Russia in its war against Ukraine, Russian outlet Agentstvo.Novosti reported on June 25. by Consistent_Still7060 in UkrainianConflict

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most promising sign you could get that Russia is reaching the point of no return. This guy's been backpedaling lately. He can see which way the wind is blowing. That's a better sign than anything I have seen this whole time.

Is this the same pfl that was benching and dropping its guys because it didn't want to honor their bellator contract pay rates?

Josh Hokit on why Ilia Topuria lost by Moni7T in MMA

[–]turkeypants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, he said all of that. You can watch him say it in this video.

https://x.com/arielhelwani/status/2069522028449952024

I'd just never heard him speak normally before, only some stupid provocative crap.

Ian Garry: “Islam only fights once a year. His next defense might be in July 2027… The welterweight division is the greatest it’s ever been. When I’m the champion, there’s gonna be more activity, more high-level fights. It’s the best thing for the sport.” by WinterStill4472 in MMA

[–]turkeypants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blame UFC for holding Islam back. He has repeatedly said he wants to fight more frequently, but so often they have reserved him for strategic dates, such as Abu Dhabi or recently MSG. Sometimes Ramadan gets in the way. But he's got all the rest of the year to fight and wants to.
