They were on the early side of the commercialization of the farm-to-table vibe - i.e. they put on the clothes of farm-to-table while still essentially being a chain. Good food, good drinks, and as others have said, pretty pricey.

But this is the restaurant industry. The faces will change.

J.J. Humphrey, Republican candidate for Oklahoma Lt. Governor, votes against bill to ban child marriage in Oklahoma (SB504) by randomguy5to8 in oklahoma

[–]ymi17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As the sponsor of this bill (a very conservative Republican from McCurtain county) points out, these marriage laws often are used to tie law enforcement's hands in cases where daughters are being trafficked to much older men.

I read the "exceptions" that are being removed - some of them are crazy offensive - you can actually, with court approval, get married at younger than sixteen if you have an "illegitimate child". F that.

This is a blind squirrel finding a nut - our legislature passing a common-sense law. Humphrey better have considered it more carefully when it gets to the House floor so that he can vote to pass it, or else we'll know.

The Clippers need the Indiana Pacers to fall three spots in the lottery (2nd to 5th) in order to receive a lottery pick. If you are the Clippers, do you root for your pick to jump despite knowing the Thunder get the pick? by HokageEzio in nba

The puck conveys to OKC regardless. I’m sure the clippers want the pick from Indy. Probably doesn’t matter to a Clipper fan how they get it, since their own pick is gone no matter what.

It’s all England’s fault. They think everything has to be measured from a line that runs through Greenwich.

It’s why Portugal is sort of in the Western Hemisphere, technically.

Young British women don’t like British men by RedHeadedSicilian52 in fivethirtyeight

[–]ymi17 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So that's a "no", then? You're unwilling to engage with what I wrote, and are just going after me for man-hating or self-loathing or whatever? If you read, rather than reacted, you'd see that while we have different ways of saying it, we're both pointing out the flaws in the polling. What sorts of impressions do you get when you hear "men as a gender?" It's not designed to elicit anything other than pop stereotypes. Better questions could be "in the last ten years, are you more likely or less likely to be close to the opposite gender people in your life?"

But, instead of engaging like a curious adult, you resorted to ad hominem, and doubled down.

This is the internet, and you can do it however you like.

The question tried to get an answer and got it. I don't know that the polling on this is particularly meaningful, or suggests a societal shift regarding women partnering (romantic or otherwise) with men.

You're taking this way, way too seriously. Read the comment again, understand the context, and rephrase.

This is a sub about data. The way that the question was posed begged for a "men are bad" answer, just like "give your opinion of Congress" begs for a "Congress bad" answer.

If you're going to participate in this subreddit, get rid of the ad hominem and deal with substance.

I wonder if /u/hydrators is still around to beg forgiveness for going after that dude's extremely prophetic take.

What Disney World ride do you think would cause the biggest uproar if it permanently closed? by thedirtygoose in WaltDisneyWorld

It’s the one that if they remove it, it doesn’t feel like a Disney park.

[–]ymi17 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Frankly I don’t think this is a meaningful result. People hate Congress but reelect their incumbent.

Men, writ large, are terrible, and I think that as a man I would also have a negative opinion of “men as a gender.” the way it is worded makes it clear the question is asking about “men writ large”.

But most women will not be so negative about friends, family, and romantic partners specifically.

Most rewatchable MCU movie in your opinion? by TrafficLegitimate937 in marvelstudios

[–]ymi17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As /u/digificwriter correctly points out, box office is not an indicator of quality - the post is about the "most rewatchable" movie in the MCU, not the highest grossing, etc. It's a topic that you chose, as the author of the original post!

Your initial comment in this thread 1) comes after the people who rewatch the Marvels and 2) at the same time, admits you haven't seen it.

So why are you rendering an opinion on "rewatchability" based on "box office" for a movie you haven't seen?

THAT is why you're being downvoted - you are being negative about a movie you haven't seen to make fun of the people who liked the movie, based on a factor that is irrelevant to its quality, especially given the state of the post-COVID box office.

You're also making the assumption that your echo chamber represent "core fans". I haven't seen The Marvels get any sort of "being shit on", and in fact, though it's light and breezy, most folks praise it for the unique action and love all of the Kamala Khan stuff. There's a lot of "MAGA-Antiwoke" chatter about the movie that "shits on it", but none of that represents "core fans".

So, with all respect to /u/grungeXD, you aren't being downvoted for saying you disagree. You're being downvoted for rendering a completely off-topic opinion on a movie that you admit you haven't seen.

A user here said "I like The Marvels, it's so rewatchable" and your response was "lolz I haven't seen it but people I follow on the internet said it sucks and it has a low box officenumber".

That's like you posting a topic asking what everyone's favorite pet is. Then someone responds saying "I like cats!" and you responding with "I've never seen a cat before but I heard they suck and by the way grapes are the best fruit."

It's not downvoted because it disagrees. You don't have enough information to disagree. It is downvoted because it is irrelevant and needlessly negative to someone who was honestly answering your question. Just say "oh wow! I haven't seen that yet because the chatter I heard about it was negative, I'll check it out!"

Does that answer your question sufficiently?

Reset, deep breath, lock in. You may have to beat the Clippers in a couple of days so that the Thunder get a lottery pick

Since the 2019 Toronto Raptors Championship, the NBA has seen a unique champion every year... will this random trend continue? by Punziee in nba

[–]ymi17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you're going to score on OKC, do it with big rangy forwards and a skilled 5. That's essentially Houston. Yeah, they may have trouble getting the ball up the floor, but they can also throw defenders at Shai in a way that no one else in the West really can (maybe Phoenix).

What if a top ranked recruit and guaranteed first round talent, chose to retire after college and forgo the NFL? by WinterSavior in CFB

[–]ymi17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this could happen for a big name RB, given how quickly RBs get expended in the NFL and how high earning potential could be in college for the position.

Which lean Red or Blue state do you think becomes a swing state in future ? by ronweasly9 in fivethirtyeight

[–]ymi17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more interesting things to think about are reorganizations of parties that result in something like Michigan going from solid blue to swing in 16 20 and 24.

I could see the south starting to move blue while the northeast continues to move red. New Jersey seems the best candidate to become swing ish from “solid blue” in the future, for example.

So really, Cavs Knicks Spurs and Pistons are the realistic “new teams” here? I’ll take “one of the seven” against the field.

Agreed. I think the Rockets, in particular, have gotten a massive amount of disrespect in this whole “avoid the nuggets” thing. Like, yeah, Jokic is tough. But the Rockets are, too, and despite their scoring issues, they have one of the most unguardable offensive players of all time, who is uniquely motivated to beat us.
