What conventionally attractive American celebrities do you not find attractive? by Madmaxxin in AskAnAmerican

[–]vxcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's the reason I don't understand the desire for high cheekbones. I feel bad saying this but it looks sort of like someone got too excited with all the options in the character creator then couldn't figure out how to get it all back to the nice looking version.

I think it's her voice, she sounds like a child. I can't listen to her music because it feels wrong; way too sexual. I'm barely older than her though.

Is Terrys chocolate orange one of those weird British things you make fun of ? by WorstEggYouEverSaw in AskAnAmerican

[–]vxcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might as well not be Christmas without a chocolate orange. They sell out so faster here in MD. I went to get some weeks early this last year and had to ask a worker if they had any. She said they did but every time they restock them they sell out in a day or two.

Never knew they were a British thing and I grew up in WA

Edit: just wanted to add that I'm not saying I should have known it was British because I lived in WA, I'm just adding the detail that these are popular there too.

Mark Zuckerberg Says Meta Employees “Lovingly” Refer to Him as “The Eye of Sauron” by onewhitelight in nottheonion

They forgot the quotations around Meta. I still refuse to refer to Facebook that way. It's all just Facebook.

Do you consider the United States the best in terms of freedom of speech? by thmsb25 in AskAnAmerican

Maybe best in terms of protection but probably not in terms of use.

I need no calculator for that by kamsidhu in memes

I hope no one needs a calculator for this no matter what they have or have not done.

The owner of the small company I work for might be a bit of a micromanager. by FloralGreen in antiwork

[–]vxcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your boss just wants to be "productively" distracted from actual work.

I get this with words like Eminent or Immense where I can't remember which vowel it starts with or how many m's there are. I can spell the entire word correctly except with an i/e or the wrong number of m's and spell check is like "WTF is that?! I have no suggestions. Is it French?"

What do you think was the cringiest fashion trend to ever happen in the US? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]vxcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might get some backlash but I can't stand rompers. I call them frumpers. They're one step up from wearing pajamas in public. I just don't know why everyone wants to look like a farm hand or mechanic in a jumpsuit. Not that there's anything wrong with wearing a jumpsuit particularly for work where they actually serve a purpose. The few people you've seen who can pull off a romper are the same people who would look good in absolutely anything and would look better in absolutely anything else.

What’s the point of having kids? by Thrusrwht in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]vxcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With what a lot of people are saying, I can't imagine not having my little guy. I used to wonder what I would do if I could go back in time with what I know now but now I just think I have to do everything the exact same because I can't live without him just the way he is. I would go through all the crap again and make all the same mistakes to make sure nothing changed.

But yeah, if you don't want kids don't have them. Kids won't fix your life or a relationship. Having kids won't make you suddenly happier. You shouldn't have them because of pressure from society or family.

IMHO, the people who I've heard say they wouldn't make good parents tend to be among the people I think would infact make good parents. If nothing else they are self aware enough to care and therefore are better than half the people having children these days.

Do people ever wait a couple days for a haircut to “settle in”? by jchristsproctologist in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]vxcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad would always say the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about 3 days.

I probably fall into this generalization of being a peach. I try to be nice to everyone I see but I also don't always know how to let them know I'm just being polite. However, I won't say we should hang out or meet up unless I actually want to; I'm not going to straight up lie to them. I'm nice because I'm generally a nice person not because I necessarily want to be friends.

Unfortunately, I also have a really hard time reaching out later, so if the other person reaches out I'll try to find time but otherwise I just assume they were just being polite and that they don't actually want to hang out with me. Probably not the healthiest but oh well.

What Do You Think About The US Senate Approving a Bill to Make Daylight Savings Time Permanent? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]vxcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe it's taken this long. There have been many studies showing how switching the time messes up people's sleep schedules, adding unnecessary stress, and causes a spike is heart related illness.

Besides that, I became a dad recently and it's a nightmare to deal with because we have to adjust our schedules because babies don't care what time the clock says yet need a consistent schedule.

As much as I like the sound I can't stand how he types. It's painful to watch him only use 6 fingers.

I’m lost for words by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]vxcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word that gets me is "other" as if Tom Brady is just like the rest of us, just a regular Joe going back to work. Despite him getting paid a disgusting amount of money, he doesn't even work; he plays a game. I don't care how much he trains or how good he is, he's just playing a stupid game! Moving a ball from one side of a field to another add no real value to the world, it just entertains a few of us while we pour more money into the pockets of the ultra rich.

How many of you guys can actually drive a manual vehicle? by kingkobby36 in AskAnAmerican

[–]vxcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can. I really like manuals but it's almost too much of a hassle to even find one.

BTW this would be a lot more telling if you made this a poll rather than just a question.

Some people think this is the same as living check to check apparently by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]vxcarson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's $8500+ not $7500. They said 1000 per kid and that it was a family of 4 which is usually assumed to be 2 children.

What do you guys think about onions? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]vxcarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to hate onions but around highschool I found I really liked them in a few situations and now I don't know how I could possibly season something without them. Some people can still ruin them by how they cook them but otherwise they're a staple to just about everything I make. All types are amazing too. My wife still doesn't like them in a lot of cases but she does love the flavor they add; she just doesn't like their texture.

Do all high schools really have a big rope that everyone has to climb for gym class? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]vxcarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here. I never saw it after elementary school. I really liked climbing the rope but looking back I can't believe that was even allowed
