They forgot the big one:
Claims to distrust The Media but mindlessly repeats word for word what they heard on TV, radio, social media, podcasts

An American thing? Do people in other countries drive and hold the shotgun too?
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never been there but have spent lots of time in the PA Wilds, the region which encompasses it and a whole lot more. The reservoir I described is the Allegheny Reservoir to the west of Cherry Springs
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 weeks ago:
I’ve spent quite a bit of time backpacking in Pennsylvania. One of my favorite places is a reservoir where they lower the water level drastically in the winter months. You can walk out to where it’s normally underwater, lie on your back and have a 360 degree unobstructed view of the night sky. There are so many stars that you can’t pick out constellations. I’ve seen what i assume were satellites, a continous red glare moving incredibly fast and silent. Unfortunately development is encroaching. First a new highway then a casino.
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 3 weeks ago:
Scan headlines but only read what affects me. These days we hear about all the awful things that happen around the word but our ability to do something about them is still the same as a hundred years ago

- Comment on Old Man Guide to Grooming 4 weeks ago:
At the barbershop I went to regularly, the women barbers would ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed and I always declined. One visit a guy cuts my hair and trims them without asking. What the he’ll was I thinking? I no longer look like the Winter Warlock

Buddy of mine worked in health care, did urine testing. He’s got stories about people coming in way over the legal limit to drive but come across as sober

Sorry if it’s already been pointed out but they just kind of skipped over boats

Sarcastic humor aside, migratory agricultural work is a thing in the US. Some of my friends did it back in the 80’s. Live in a tent on site, earn by how much you pick, save money because no rent and no place to spend. No federal taxes. Blueberries here, apples there, travel to where the crops need picking. Clean fish in Alaska or work on the boats.

Don’t worry. Trump is making sure you can get a job picking crops. You’ll be living in a tent. No rent, not utilities. You’re welcome!

Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?
- Comment on Anon likes a thing 1 month ago:
Yeah any decent sci-fi before Star Wars was heady with little action. Logans Run, Silent Running. Also in my mind I saw sequels in general change from shameless cash grab to better attempts

Bite your tongue. Like a lot of things from the past, they need to be viewed in context
- Comment on But I am mighty!! 1 month ago:
I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it’s cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared
- Comment on I want these walls back 1 month ago:
Huh I’ve never seen a wall of these and I’m old enough to remember the 70’s. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement with

In high school I had a very fine point tip pen for making cheat sheets. One day one of the stoners saw me making one and asked for a copy so I made him one. Later, two other stoners asked for copies so by the time I had to take the test, I had written everything four times and didn’t need the cheat sheet. This is how I learned writing things down is an effective memory tool.

I’d say pour salt into each pot but I fear the plants are the propery of a local nursery and it’s not their fault the store is managed by idiots
- Comment on I can't believe it's necessary to ask the question... 2 months ago:
It’s too easy. Throw everything in the crock pot and in 8 hours you’re good to go. I like to break up the roast when it softens up to let the soup soak in better. My wife makes it. She might use golden mushroom soup instead of French onion. It’s a nice comfort food especially during the colder months
- Comment on I can't believe it's necessary to ask the question... 2 months ago:
You forgot cream of mushroom soup
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 months ago:
Show him YouTube videos of the fox making the same noise? Hopefully you can convince him
- Comment on Special sampling opportunity 2 months ago:
I’m a connoisseur myself and travel with my own stash. The stuff they have in most public restrooms is so cheap it’s like wiping your ass with a CVS receipt.
- Comment on Bruh, chill 2 months ago:
I have a strategy for this when I get tailgated in the slow lane and it’s not brake checking because that’s what they expect. I’ll lock the cruise control to my desired speed. They get right up on my ass and don’t back off, I speed up putting space between me and them. At this point they’ll speed up and I’ll take my foot off the gas and let the car slow down back down to cruise control speed. The trick is to never touch the brakes. The driver behind me is alternating between speeding up and hitting the brakes. Eventually they’ll get tired of it and either pass or back off

I am on team Will Smith with this one. Never give a woman of color a hard time about her hair. I’d rather diffuse a bomb while in shark infested waters. I’ve been punk rock for 40+ years, had a mowhawk and other hairstyles outside of the norm (people used to want to fight you over this) and no demographic of human being has been more supportive when it comes to taking chances with fashion than black women. This is a hill I will die on
