- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 3 days ago:
Pub culture is definitely a thing in the UK though and I wish we had some of these neighborhood meeting places in the US too.
Fraternal/Sororal organizations used to be a big thing up to the 60s with the Elks clubs, Odd Fellows, Shriners, etc. We’ve lost a lot of that community glue.

I had a GF who worked in a university lab where they would go to a bar after hours and she would bring me along. It was an old school Irish bar (even had pics of Sinn Féin members on the walls). I kept going after we broke up and ended up dating one of the woman who bartended. She was always passing me free drinks. I was always a light drinker though, I just nursed them. This was mostly in my 20s. I did visit another Irish pub after night class in a different part of the city and the guy working there remembered what my usual meal order was. lol

This sounds more like a “fuck UK age restriction laws” not reddit

This is the case on reddit too. Politics creeps into everything.

“Anything you have access to that I don’t” = “privilege” The term has been badly abused.

Yah, he is saying there isn’t much variety in subject matter. Sadly I still have to go to reddit to find a lot of topics.

- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 month ago:
The US has always had an anti-immigrant streak. Whoever the last group are they are unhappy with the next group. The Irish were not welcome, except by Tammany Hall, then the Italians were suspect. The Chinese have always been seen as suspicious and we all know what happened to the Japanese in WW2. Interestingly those of German descent haven’t been suspect, probably because they formed a large chunk of the US (PA, OH) and Eisenhower had German ancestry.
I doubt any country has never had an issue with someone seen as outsiders.

He said he’d get off the train in Harlem and people would look at this super pasty redheaded white guy like a leprechaun had shown up.
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 3 months ago:
He married a black woman. You should hear his stand up talking about going to her place in Harlem. lol
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 3 months ago:
And he did marry a black woman so he is far from conservative.

- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 3 months ago:
Most criminal laws are at the state level so it would be a CA law.
UNATTENDED CHILD IN MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
There is no need for a seperate law in the event of harm or death since that would just fall under existing harm/death of a child laws.
- Comment on Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say 3 months ago:
I can barely handle being in a car that has been sitting in the sun for the 5 minutes it takes for the AC to get up to speed.

Slapping on tariffs at a time with inflation, high consumer anxiety, and wage stagnation is going to be looked on as one of the worst moves a president has made.

I remember during the big housing bubble in the early 2000s people were telling me “Oh you better buy now” even though down payments were insanely high and I kept thinking “The cost of housing is totally out of whack with incomes. There is no way this can keep going up.” Surprise, surprise the whole thing blew up and lots of people were then left with mortgages that cost more than their homes so they were stuck. On top of that the prices were still out of whack with incomes and I still couldn’t afford a house unless it was a wreck. I eventually just moved out of the state.
I was just reading how the normal “escape cities”, like Miami, for people fleeing high cost areas like San Francisco and Boston/NYC are now almost as expensive. Guess people will have to go to St Louis and Des Moines.
