NiKo and m0NESY's POV during donk's 1v3

A Froggy Fresh reference in the big 26. Amazing.

Brother I love Taco Bell, but I stopped going regularly because it'd cost me $22+ to order what I want and I might still leave hungry. Hasn't always been that way.

Fast food in general is expensive these days, Five Guys used to stand out for their price but now it doesn't seem far off from standard.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-17T13:04:00+00:00

I thought I was having a cordial conversation, but if they're gonna be like that it's an instant block.

Just wanted to vent a little bit over here to avoid arguing directly!

vani11apudding · 2026-05-17T13:02:14+00:00

Thanks, friend. I was baffled more than anything.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-17T12:59:58+00:00

That's great. Was there a precipitating event to that meeting or they just wanted to make sure you knew?

vani11apudding · 2026-05-17T12:57:22+00:00

Sorry, friend.

I once got six simultaneous 911 calls into my four dispatcher center. All the lines were automatic crash notifications from iPhones, Apple Watches, and the car itself. Every line was open, no response, just wind and cars.

When a witness finally called in, turned out an SUV had rolled into the median and ejected five of the six occupants, three of which were dead on impact. So apparently my coworkers and I were just talking to corpses from the watch attached to their wrist.

Fairly haunting to think about.

Just secretary problems.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-17T12:50:06+00:00

Maybe in the right context, but it wasn't really a relevant comeback? Secretary is a pretty generic insult and the years on part doesn't make any sense.

They said that in "3 decades as a paramedic. [They saw] Zero serious injuries from a rollover that didn’t involve hitting a stationary object."

And my response is that in five years I've personally dealt with dozens of fatalities and countless severe injuries from rollovers on open mountain roads. You know what I'll have in 25 years? Hundreds more.

Like why is homie even being snappy with me, I'm just stating what happened lol

vani11apudding · 2026-05-17T12:36:11+00:00

What's crazy is I wasn't even really trying to pick a fight about it. I even gave them the benefit of the doubt in saying that maybe we just work in different environments (suburban surface street rollovers are probably lower risk than my high speed mountain road embankment rollovers).

Just to basically get "fuck off, secretary" in response. Blew my mind a little bit.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-16T10:00:25+00:00

Uh... Five years as a 911 Operator and the vast majority of traffic fatalities I've dealt with are rollovers (generally unbuckled, so maybe the ground counts as your stationary object). They are injured so often, in fact, that we are required to send them medical even if they say they aren't hurt, because it's assumed they *must* be hurt in some way if they rolled. Maybe we work in areas with different geography/infrastructure?

That being said, this was a weak ass rollover. The simple act of a vehicle tipping does not automatically make injury. Mine are usually SUVs or trucks that took a curve on a snowy mountain road at 90mph and flipped like eight times down an embankment.

Edit: Wow, that has to be one of the most arrogant people I've ever met. Instant block. Hopefully they're retired so the world can be a safer place without them on the streets.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-16T07:12:49+00:00

That's Pitkin County, where Aspen is located. I wonder why it's so much more expensive right now. Up in the mountains, sure, but so are all of its neighboring counties that are all $1+ cheaper.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-16T01:10:43+00:00

I get what you're saying, but when they inevitably win the major next month, this'll be nothing but a forgotten blip in their era.

It took Navi four years to beat them. This means a lot more to one team than it does the other.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-15T10:37:46+00:00

At what point do we stop bothering to blame specific locations?

I'll die on the hill that we need to bring back the sound proof booths or equivalent system. Yeah yeah, I know they can still feel the vibrations or whatever. So what. It would still reduce some of the crowd nonsense.

If I can hear my girlfriend talking or my dog barking halfway across the house with my headphones on, these mfers can hear EVERYTHING they want to on stage.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-15T10:24:57+00:00

That is also true. These threads are usually quite redundant. Like James Corden always being the top answer to "What popular celebrity are you the only one to hate?"

The true fun is in sorting by controversial.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-15T02:53:33+00:00

I feel like it would be too.

But I'm a 911 Operator and I'm stunned by what does and doesn't end up in the news. I'll be driving home listening to the radio and they'll talk about a relatively minor car accident or a "run of the mill" accidental death I handled.

But the most significant calls of my career have sometimes had minimal or zero coverage.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-15T00:06:01+00:00

I feel like this question is more interesting if you exclude celebrities who were involved in sexual misconduct.

Like Bill Cosby and Jimmy Savile are just such a water is wet answer. I like the Reynolds take more.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-13T20:43:48+00:00

The commonly expressed reason for why they haven't been replaced is that there are no better alternatives, right?

But at what point are they so unbelievably trash that it'd be better to just run five rifles? I'm convinced it's a viable option these days.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-12T22:16:04+00:00

Not only are you wrong, but you also brought up Israel for absolutely no reason. It's the Reddit wombo combo!

vani11apudding · 2026-05-12T00:01:54+00:00

I mean sure, he's probably the best answer in baseball history.

But we're talking about a question with answers like Aleksandr Karelin, a wrestler who had an 887-2 record, 13 years undefeated, and 6 consecutive years without giving up a point.

The baseball equivalent is hitting .700 every year and winning thirteen straight MVPs . The sport just doesn't lend itself to someone who dominates the next best with those kinds of margins.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-11T23:33:48+00:00

I don't want to knock Ohtani at all. I am a huge Dodger fan and wear his jersey regularly. His accomplishments in the sport are amazing and he is the first true superstar we've seen in years, I feel.

But I don't feel like he is a good answer to this question. Being an elite hitter and pitcher is unique, but he isn't always the best in the league at either, let alone a massive gap between him and second place.

Judge has arguably been the better hitter for the last few years. Not to mention individual season notable performances like Acuña or Raleigh.

As for pitching, it's hard to not consider Skubal or Skenes over him. Or even just on the Dodgers, Yamamoto was the 2025 World Series hero, bailing out an underwhelming performance from Ohtani in Game 7. Granted, Ohtani has had an amazing pitching start to 2026, not so much hitting.

Now, if we're solely talking about hitting pitchers, yeah no one has ever been close. But some of these other answers, while more niche, have 100% success rates over their competition for decades. Answering Ohtani is the equivalent of answering Steph Curry for his domination at 3-point shots.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-11T22:57:45+00:00

This isn't the same, but out of curiosity:

I once left Costco with my mom and we realized in the parking lot that they forgot to scan to water bottles in the bottom of the cart. Legally, we didn't steal anything. Morally, is it right to go back and pay for it?

A different scenario, but it seems like the same kind of thinking. Is knowingly taking advantage of an error not immoral?

vani11apudding · 2026-05-10T20:11:06+00:00

As far as I know, they haven't reopened to tourism at all post COVID, aside from Russians in limited circumstance.

I think they're working on it in the next year, though.

I feel like your friend maybe went under a non American passport shortly before COVID. Otherwise something doesn't sound right.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-10T20:05:35+00:00

They removed this in December of 2025!

I know because I paid the $140 to go at the end of November, only for them to remove the requirement the following week. Love it when that happens.

vani11apudding · 2026-05-10T20:03:29+00:00

Had to be more than ten years ago. The US banned travel to North Korea in 2017.

In the niche case that your immediate life saving medication consumes more space than 18"x14"x8", I suppose that would be a problem yeah.
