    I grew up in Phoenix, and that's just too damn big, but I need somewhere at least big enough that there's like a museum and a planetarium or some shit and there's colors other than white and if you speak a bit of Spanish people don't look at you like you're heinous

    I like walking around in a city and all that but I will say that stores were open longer back home than they are in Seattle, which is odd

    I miss living in a city for all the reasons mentioned. I also really miss having a local bar/restaurant where you get to know the staff. Being able to roll into Harry's after a shift and just sit at the bar and recieved a crown and coke without doing anything more than waving my hand is a great memory.

    But. Now I'm in the country and I can't imagine living without the dead silence and complete blackness of night. The stars are like...right there!

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    I miss downtown living but it isn't feasible at the moment

    I do look forward to getting by by having a downtown job to compensate for my otherwise deep suburban life

    Downtown has fantastic bars and restaurants and more casual social options and specialty stores and walkability which I love

    But also having workshop space in my house and a big backyard to lounge in in the summer and quiet spacious areas to walk my dog and a nearby theatre where I don't have to fight for seats and a big ass gym is also nice

    I used to have one of these at the last place I lived at. Now I'm in a different neighborhood and for some reason this place has 0 bars. I'd have to walk the 30 mins to my old spot or take a bus to get to a bar.

    Extremely petty complaint, but it is what it is.

    I drove to one of the richest whitest suburbs in town for the first time in a few years, and I forgot how consistently awful the traffic is up there. I drive directly through the downtown business district on my daily commute every day, and it's never that bad. And it's bad for miles.

    It's because a lot of suburbs aren't car friendly as much as anti-human. They are built to accommodate and welcome the fewest number of people possible, by design.

    Oh legit I've driven for Schwan's and done GrubHub and Door Dash and if I were ever to have gotten pasted it would have been in the local rich suburb by a BMW or Cadillac driven by a very self-important middle aged white person. It's like an unwritten law that if you have money but not enough to have a chauffeur you have to completely forget how to drive.

    I would never have thought that public transportation was a thing that I could love, being born in and raised in suburban California, but I loved it pretty much immediately as soon as I had access to a halfway decent system that costs a reasonable amount of money.

    I still hate reckless bus drivers, though.

    People like that either drive like they want to murder people or like they think they'll need to stop at a second's notice to protect their precious vehicle from being hit in a freak accident and so go 10mph under the speed limit

    When you're calling in, note that "he was like a father to me" is an HR-friendly way of saying "he was a real motherfucker."

    well i just got banned from r/politics for saying that Reagan's best policy was that time he died.

    Probably a good thing for my health. it would have definitely happened when kissinger dies regardless.

    the worst thing about /r/politics is it's literally everyone talking about "Now is going to be the time we finally beat those rascally red republicans."

    It's the worst kind of delusion.

    Karl Rove was also described as ham-like, and they were both rage-fueled-and-fueling media performers... Maybe some medical researcher could get a paper out of studying this! :lol:

    Hmm, "Henry Kissinger wet dream" is probably the second worst sentence I've heard involving Kissenger.

    ham is a spectrum. from industrial processed commodity grade foodstuff to jamon iberico

    all i am saying is you'd have to use a pull tab to get at the aforementioned empinkened faced bags of fascist forcemeat

    which is of course, the saddest ham

    Gallagher (the watermelon-smashing comedian) died and apparently was a racist/misogynist/homophobe, so here's a picture of Paul F. Tompkins playing him in the Weird Al movie.

    Here's the time Gallagher, noted shithead, staged an evening "en Español" and just made up his own spanglish between smashing piñatas and shouting slurs.

    Rest in Piss.

    Already had to break that news to a couple friends, whose response after sending them an article describing one of his later in life performances was simply "fuckin YIKES."

    That's what TV's Frank did apparently, but then after people told him about Gallagher being a shithead he took it down (and left up the explanation of why)
