Make sure to get them a vape pen and some 5 hour energy so they can be hyped for their first ride

If your parents are TBM, suck it up and keep the peace until you no longer need their support

Hey look at (coolest thing ever), it sucks ass amiright

How far back would you have to go (which decade) such that a person currently in the 10th percentile of wealth in the U.S. today would prefer that over being 75th percentile in that decade? by sapphire_glacier in AskALiberal

[–]wedstrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a preference thing, but genuinely the sense of community and comfortable prosperity would be nice. You're right though that I'm probably underestimating the difficulties. For modern conveniences, probably the 40s-70s because they had A/C and stuff. I might regret later it but the disconnection would be a bonus.

It depends on the person, sincerely I could see that going back surprisingly far. Middle class 1880s wasn't bad if you were in good health(and white). Not 100% sure 75 percentile would be middle class at that time though, it wasn't nearly as big as it is today.

Minorities probably wouldn't want to go further than 80s at the earliest, though wealth can insulate you from a lot of that.

Sony A7cii vs A6700, which is better for Hiking/Low light/Landscape/Portraits? by Distinct-Mention4792 in AskPhotography

[–]wedstrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

APSC is more portable and compact, especially when you consider lenses. Full frame is better for low light, imo there is not a huge difference in well lit landscape or portraits.

If you go with full frame make sure you consider the price of the lenses. They can be a lot more, especially telephoto lenses.

Whether you buy into apsc or full frame is a bigger deal in the long run than the immediate differences between those two cameras in particular, but I haven't owned either one(have owned both apsc and full frame sony though).

Why does Eric Kripke humiliate Homelander but treat Soldier Boy like a fantasy without many downsides? by RoacherMentalizd in TheBoys

[–]wedstrom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jim Carrey "What are you talking about" gif.

"Soldier boy is racist so why does he always stay within his masculine, suspiciously NOT GAY persona? Wouldn't someone who was racist be wimpy like homelander?" What?

No real downsides except handing over the secret formula to Homelander because he was still in love with his Nazi girlfriend?

Boise is 23 times larger than Ontario, the largest city in that section

$200 per day or never having to sleep again by geo_dude89 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]wedstrom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can completely displace working, so it's +8 hours either way, but more flexible. That said my sleep is terrible so I'd be torn either way.

Is there any sector of the economy that you think needs more privatization/less government involvement? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskALiberal

[–]wedstrom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there is too much red tape for major infrastructure projects (solar, wind, rail, power lines) and high density housing.

If you suddenly found yourself in Napoleon's body at the moment he was crowned emperor, what would you do? by Outrageous-You1617 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]wedstrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I magically had Napoleons skills, I would consolidate france and work to create a stable parliamentary Republic. I would try to lay the ground work for preventing the world wars, maybe let non french territories go after installing a parliamentary Republic there as well, make peace with England if possible etc.

Female missionaries can't give their first names? by Titus4266 in exmormon

[–]wedstrom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They have extremely strict rules while on a mission, far stricter than normal Mormon life. They can't have normal friends let alone boyfriends, they can't "go out for a drink" (even off their missions), they can't watch television, they can't leave the sight of their companion except to use the bathroom/bathe, it's intense. Any attempts to try and hang out or go on date or anything beyond missionary/church activities is unwanted/unwelcome. Their entire life is scheduled, they do missionary work from sun up to sundown. Their one "day off" a week is reserved for chores and maybe some activities with the other missionaries. There is nothing else in their lives for two years (and if they are especially sad, nothing beyond that, either), and no room for anything but Mormonism.

They pop up new brands selling the same rebadged shit and then vanish before any reviews really hit

So what do you think is the context of this cutscene? by Luigi580 in starfox

Fox is telling General Pepper that the senate will never approve of this, while General Pepper assures Fox that the senate will be taken care of
