Having to answer constant questions about Americans.

Either is fine, so long as it’s not brogues
- Comment on Priorities 5 days ago:
Whippets is a reference to inhaling the nitrous which causes a short temporary high (so you have to keep doing them I guess). I didn’t know what they were until I helped out a friend who GM’d a hotel. They needed a maintenance guy and I just moved there so I took it for a few months and trained their new guy or w.e. (I don’t know shit about hotels but mostly it is just standard plumbing and electrical issues). Had a leak on the first floor coming into the gym. Traced it back upstairs to the third floor. Bunch of young adults had ~500 whippets around the room, they refused to let us in, I eventually got in and found they did something to the toilet, it kept running, they were to fucked up to notice the night before and it leaked through the bathroom floor, down an inside barrier wall and made the ceiling collapse in the gym. Wouldn’t have been an issue had they just reported the leak when it happened… instead it took us hours to get them to let us into the room, and they didnt spend the time cleanjng anything, just not wanting to get up. Whatever they did, they sure as shit weren’t going to have fun explaining the damages they caused to their parents, because I don’t think the hotel/police were letting them skip out on paying for it.
- Comment on Days after Christmas are confusing 1 week ago:
That sounds nice actually, I haven’t done any holidays foods yet this year. But also the temperature here is going wacky. It’s 23 outside right now, and tomorrow the high is 2. It’s changes like that which make us understand why tornados are common
- Comment on The Pies of Power 1 week ago:
Used to have a place that did thin large slices, kind of like $1 slices in NY used to be. They would have honey available in case people wanted to put honey on the crust. Always loved it
- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 1 week ago:
I wondered why the PS5 didn’t have optical out when the PS3 did, then thinking back on it, I probably never owned content/speakers that were good enough to really tell the difference. I had routed the PS3 audio to a receiver with 5.1 surround, and video to a projector via HDMI. Then just played media from an external/had a dual boot to yellowdog Linux at the time. Was fun for young me
- Comment on Is there an endgame to Trump he is trying to obtain? Or is he making it up along the way at the cost of Americans? 1 week ago:
Yeah, he’s just a vessel for the oligarchs to steer. He’ll scrape money from any step he can and they’ll gladly let him as he is getting them what they want. He said in the early 90s he wanted to make the presidency profitable for himself, and anyone around him knows he is easily bought
- Comment on Is it wiser to store one savings in Gold as superior to the average bank/savings accounts nominal interest? 1 week ago:
Of course man, I understand people wanting to make sure they don’t catch that covid-25
- Comment on Does playing audio at a high volume bluetooth wirelessly use more phone battery power than lower volume or are equidraining? 1 week ago:
Not sure if you were serious, but I believe he meant, if you turn the volume up on your phone, the cell signal doesn’t get worse.
The end device receives the same signal, than uses its own energy to broadcast it at whatever volume

Can you help me move this 812kg if gold to my new safe please?
- Comment on Under what circumstances or axioms do spheres (the shape) have infinite surface area? 1 week ago:
I read it as surface area, thus being the amount of space on the sphere itself.
A=4πr2 is the formula if I remember correctly, so I just figure only r can be altered to match infinity
- Comment on Under what circumstances or axioms do spheres (the shape) have infinite surface area? 1 week ago:
I would assume if and only if the radio is is infinite
- Comment on I think the roast beef sandwich has it right 1 week ago:
What other animals do we call things? Dog, fox, elephant, pig, horse, hawk. There really are a few
- Comment on This bedroom game is weird 2 weeks ago:
What wait, wait what?
Sorry when you said that it made me think of taskmaster
- Comment on This bedroom game is weird 2 weeks ago:
Okay so maybe I don’t know what a bear is. I didn’t think a bear was acting like anything, or trying to be an anomal, but was just a bigger guy who might be hairy
- Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues? 2 weeks ago:
There is no one who is worth nothing, money doesn’t decide the value of a person. Granted yes, the team wasn’t playing for profit most likely, so to the team, there is no gain from them getting injured but a plastic trophy and memories.
- Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but if someone worth tens of millions if dollars gets permanently injured, tens of millions of dollars have been lost, maybe more for the team. If a kid worth $0 gets permanently injured, there is another one on the bench, and the team has lost nothing.

I like this response, but now I’m wondering what the beaver question was…

I love your dedication to those stats. Thank you for spending the time/care, I just read them to my spouse

Enters MCManagerbot. You are absolutely correct sir, that pathetic meat sack isn’t even good enough to make patties out of, we have fired him and can I interest you in our new McNordVPN Happy Meal, they are here for a limited time and come with a Special Limited time Collectors action figure of your favorite YouTubers. You’ve got possibilities of Mr. Beast and our infamous leader, Gold Haired Mc Trump!
- Comment on Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't ever remember seeing a car with Red seat belts 4 weeks ago:
I’m just glad the seatbelt was there to protect viewers from an unexpected flashing. More evidence that airbags work.
- Comment on Last Christmas 4 weeks ago:
Hard disagree. I can walk past as that movie is on and not think twice about it. This was like walking past someone wretching. As much as I wanted to move on in peace… My body also wanted to wretch because of it.

- Comment on Make me feel like a man 4 weeks ago:
It looks like a photo I used to have on a calendar that had the ball edited in or something. Granted there are so many retriever puppy calendar photos out there, it would be hard for me to ever find it
- Comment on We can play that game too 4 weeks ago:
Not sure, but the two arguments aren’t even equal.
“I don’t want to pay for something I’ll never receive” vs. “I don’t want to pay for something I already received”
Neither one is a good attitude, but one seems more selfish than the other. Now, if the other person said “well I was well off and went to private school so we never used it” at least it would be more similar, still greedy
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 4 weeks ago:
How does buy now pay later compare to credit cards. Like everyone used to have those, have they given out less, or is that staying the same/more?
- Comment on "You let your dog sleep in your bed and on the couch?????" Yeah bro & I'd let him borrow my car too if he needed it 4 weeks ago:
6.7? 6 mins 42 seconds… Better off just saying 6-7 minutes.

So your trying to tell me Gillis and Deniro aren’t secret service agents in an upcoming role with a healthier looking Biden knock off?
- Comment on We can play that game too 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, if we saw something like an unavoidable 25% wealth tax on all wealth over $300 million, we would see around $2.5 trillion in taxes that could be distributed as a universal base income that would place $17,857 per average household (2.5) in the U.S.
If we actually combated housing prices, that could potentially cover housing everyone in the U.S. from that alone, then retirements would only need to cover food costs. There are a lot of changes that would need to be made, they just won’t come until the last second when people are dying in large enough numbers to make people do something.
