  • To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?

    Jump

  • It isn't just that things are too far to walk, it's that American car companies have made it part of our culture to own and drive, and it's unpatriotic to do otherwise. That causes a severe lack of public transportation and sidewalks and bike lanes. So because of all this, I have to drive a mile through my neighborhood to get to a 7-Eleven that would be a quarter mile if I walked.

  • Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?

    Jump

  • Where I live, there are people who make a decent amount of cash by grabbing whatever metal they can find out of the trash and taking it to scrapyards. There are a couple of trucks that swing past my house a few times the night before and the day of trash pickup. And myself, I grabbed two bikes by just knocking on the door and asking.

  • What weird false belief did you have as a kid?

  • Unfortunately, he worked in a school district setting the routes busses take.

  • My mom told me that Dad went to work to make money, and I actually expected to see money making machines when I visited him at the office.

  • Big corporation locations, franchises, or independent shops, which is better to work at for retail?

    Jump

  • I'm looking for a general market. Nothing that specific.

  • You are being tortured. Your captor is forcing you to listen to someone else eat. What are they eating?

    Jump

  • Doesn't matter what they are eating. Their mouth is open and they are mouth breathing as they chew.

  • Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?

    Jump

  • It is well appreciated.

    Jump

  • I struggle with suicidal ideation problems. They have been so severe in the past that I almost went through it. While not all suicidal scenes trigger me, there are a few. And I have found that having the warnings help me from shutting off the TV and running off in a crying fit. I know it's coming and can prepare myself. And knowing that the hotline is there has been one of the most comforting things I know of. I may have never called, but it's there for when I can't deal on my own. So yes, the warnings make a positive difference for me.

  • How has technology made your favorite hobby worse instead of better?

    Jump

  • I prefer to have a printed copy over a digital one for the simple reason of bookmarks. If a game is rule-heavy, I will have multiple bookmarks in parts I need to reference often. And having the bookmarks visible to me in the book does make it easier to remember which one is which section.

    Jump

  • My issue with all that tech is now I can't find players who are willing to meet up in person.

    Jump

  • I could have worded things better, as I wanted to know how tech hurt your hobby when it was supposed to make it better. My issue, we now have all these ways of connecting to people all over the place, there are more TTRPG groups that play online instead of in person. Used to be I could go into a game/hobby/comic shop and find people who are willing to start a game. I don't do well with online only games with my ADHD.

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?

    Jump

  • Or that there are other RPG games outside of D&D and Pathfinder, games that are so much better.

    Jump

  • I can't stand when people are violently opposed to words because they sound bad somewhere else. Like "moist". If you think I'm being lewd when talking about how much I liked the stupid cake, that's on you and your perverted mind.

  • Was Elvis Presley a groomer and pedo? if so why was he so loved and not persecuted and prosecuted?

    Jump

  • I agree with you on that. And the changes still are going on. I remember in school in the 90's it wasn't uncommon for a college guy to date a high school girl with no real repercussion. Not saying that it was right back then, just looked at differently.

  • I won't say acceptable, as there were still issues and such, but it was definitely persecuted differently.

  • Priscilla was 14 when they met, and he managed to convince her father to let her live with him. I blame the father just a much since he knew what was going down.

  • What was "the incident" in your school?

    Jump

  • My school had a kid do that in class under the desk. One of the more hated teachers in the school caught him and asked what he was doing. His reply, "Nothing if you don't want to join."

  • What was "the incident" in your school?

    Jump

  • I had a band teacher that I highly respected in high school. He took a band program that was the worst in the state, a complete shit show, and made it an award winning program. I always saw some of the students hanging out with him in his office at lunch, never thought about it my self or noticed that it was all girls. Fast forward a couple of years after I graduated, I'm working in a local popular sandwich shop down the road from the school. I always saw this one girl who would come in and get his lunch order. I asked her, and she said she was the student assistant for him. The school setup a program after I graduated to earn working experience as student assistants. It turns out the teacher was having an affair with this girl, who was only 17. The school district IT admin found explicit emails between them on the schools email system, and things went haywire. And since the law at the time in my state was 16 was the age of consent, it wasn't illegal. But it was still a huge scandal, married teacher sleeping with his student. The school forced him to resign and the girls family told him to never contact her or come near them. Once she graduated, they got married and are still married to this day.
