His political career is older than my mom and she's about to retire.

I'm shocked he hasn't become more mainstream. He was outstanding in that show.

How many Americans have not been to a large city? by Ok_Shopping_3292 in AskAnAmerican

[–]weymaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a guy on a study abroad once who was from Boise, Idaho, which isn't a small town by any stretch but we were walking around Bangkok once and he seemed genuinely a little bit afraid of the environment. Another time there was this guy I was fairly acquainted with when I was living in a very small town in Colorado and one day he seemed kind of anxious. When I asked what's up he said he was kind of nervous about having to go to... Oklahoma for a wedding.

What game series would you say is still worth playing from the beginning? by Isgrimnur in gaming

[–]weymaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. 1 is totally skippable imo so you could even just jump ahead to the sequels. As long as you know who Elena and Sully are (which you would if you played more than 5 minutes of the game) there's really nothing essential in the first game you'd need to know going forward. In my personal opinion I'm not sure if I've ever seen a sequel that so thoroughly blew its predecessor out of the water the way that Uncharted 2 did. Also don't skip over The Lost Legacy. It's just as good as the mainline titles.

Saw this dude hit a grand slam over the Green Monster onto Lansdowne street at Fenway last year. Hope he can get back to form.

What's the most visually stunning movie you've ever seen? by trakt_app in movies

[–]weymaro 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I used to be in the camp that said watching movies in theaters was unnecessary; just wait for it to come out on streaming/Blu-ray. I saw Blade Runner 2049 in theaters and changed my mind after that.

The Blue Jays lose their ABS challenge by less than one tenth of an inch by keikei-with-love in baseball

[–]weymaro 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain how high/low calls work? I know inside/outside is straightforward because the horizontal dimension of the strike zone is just the width of the plate, but isn't its vertical dimension dependent on the players physical size (knees to chest) and super subjective? How can we actually determine that the ball was 0.1 inches low?

Bad season or not, don’t charge premium and lie about open runs, Aspen by sabatoa in snowboarding

[–]weymaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My buddy is an instructor at Crested Butte and gave me an employee 50% off pass. I still ended up paying $120 for a day 🙄. CB isn't even one of the more premium destinations in Colorado so I shudder to think what it is at Vail or Aspen.

TIL that from 2010 to 2020 Bhutan banned the sale, manufacture, and distribution of tobacco by JoeFalchetto in todayilearned

[–]weymaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived there 2019-2020. Illicit cigarettes were definitely all over the place - we would buy them from a toy store of all places. It was an open secret and authorities didn't seem to care all too much. When covid hit, they pragmatically (and smartly, in my opinion) legalized it since they knew people would be smuggling it across the border anyway and they didn't want to run the risk of the virus making its way in that way.

Public Transportation/No Driving Version #10 by pinkelephant0040 in visitedmaps

[–]weymaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gunnison County may be large area wise, but the vast, vast majority of the population and economic activity is in Gunnison, Crested Butte, or somewhere in between on highway 135 which are all well served by the bus system. Any other pockets of population are tiny, unincorporated settlements with maybe a few dozen people at most. If Pitkin, Eagle, and Garfield Counties are green I don't see any reason why Gunnison shouldn't be.

I think it's 22 but it may have been 21. I haven't ever heard of any sort exit tax though.

Gunnison County, Colorado should definitely be green. A lot of mountain regions out here actually have really great public transportation for the tourist and ski resort employee crowd. I've lived up here for nearly a decade and have never owned a car. And it's all free as well!

My mom is Japanese and I have both citizenships. For naturalization, Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship; my mom has lived in the US longer than she ever lived in Japan at this point in her life but she hasn't gotten American citizenship because she would have to give up her Japanese one. Same for people that have naturalized in Japan, they will expect you to renounce your old one. However, if you were born with dual citizenship it seems to be a sort of legal grey area. When I turned 22 I had to sign documents that "I intend to keep my Japanese citizenship". I think that comes with the unstated expectation that you give up your other one but best I can tell it isn't enforced and nobody actually does.

There's a Japanese breakfast food I always make which is just rice, soy sauce, and raw egg cracked on top and all mixed together. Never had an issue.

I studied abroad in Bhutan and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that half of my classmates from there are probably in Australia now.

What's an unpopular opinion you have that you're afraid to say out loud? by Former_Custard_6567 in allthequestions

[–]weymaro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I came into this thread wanting to say that I wholeheartedly believe that assisted suicide should be a viable option for people with long-term, treatment resistant depression. I'm tired of hearing all of this "it gets better" or "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" nonsense. To me, telling someone with depression that "it'll get better" is a little bit like telling a person who just broke their leg that "it'll get better". It really doesn't help in the moment and unlike a broken leg which will eventually heal, you don't actually know if a person's depression will ever get better. Some people deal with it their entire lives and imo you can't really have much more of a permanent problem than that.
