Garth Brooks Says His New Nashville Bar Will Be Safe for Trans People, Serve Bud Light
I’m not a fan of country music, at least not any modern country, but I definitely admire Brooks for taking a bold stance against the hateful mindset that is prevalent amongst what is likely a not-insignificant portion of his fan base. Given the flak that Target and Bud Light have gotten, he will definitely lose fans for this. If this is reflective of his overall character, he probably won’t miss them one bit.

What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?
My dad once told me that if my relationship with god was good, my grades would take care of themselves. I know what he meant was, “if you do the things god wants you to do, you’ll also be doing well in school”, but it’s still horrible advice.
More recently, my mother-in-law has been saying to my wife that she wishes that my wife could have faith in god’s plan because it just helps her in own life so much. I always roll my eyes at this. If there is a god, and he has a plan, his plan sucks ass and he plays favorites for sure.

If you suddenly had "fuck you" money what would be the first thing you did?
Buy off all the politicians and have them implement policies that will benefit the working class. Invest heavily in renewable energy sources and public transportation. Buy all the comic books.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?
If I do a Google search and a Reddit thread comes up with relevant info or discussion, I’ll check it out but I have completely stopped browsing and interacting with it.

When you have a minimum word count requirement for your essay
Reply in thread
This is why, as an English teacher, I like to just give a ballpark for length, and just say it should be as long as it needs to be to get the point across successfully. If you answer the prompt in full, it should be plenty long enough.

Wii sports and wii fit sold a lot of units. My mom bought a wii fit to use with my Wii and she never games. Like ever. She was one of those moms that called other game systems “Nintendo”.

Sneak Peek – Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 10 – Finale
Reply in thread
I dunno, I’d rather get 10 episodes per season and have all or most be bangers than have 20+ and have to wade through the subpar episodes.

How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose?
Reply in thread
Everyone know the the real method is to grab it between your pointer and middle knuckles like you’re knocking an arrow. Then give it a good yank, and if you do it to someone else, yell, “got your nose!”, as loud as you can.

Roe vs Wade: aftermath?
It varies from state to state. Many red states have restricted it or banned it completely while blue states have either left it alone or taken action to enshrine it as a right in their constitutions. The real worry comes if Republicans take the trifecta of federal government at any point they could conceivably ban it outright nationwide, but they would get destroyed in the next election if they do so. Their actions thus far have energized young voters and made some longtime Republican voters question their allegiance to the party. It has definitely hurt them in some elections already. The election in ‘22 was supposed to be a “red wave” but they only barely took the House as opposed to the large gains in both houses they were expecting.

What is your top 10 darkest moments in Star Wars?
It’s from the High Republic, but the attack on the Republic fair on Valo and the fall of Starlight Beacon are pretty fucking dark. Honorable mentions go to the Battle of Jedha and the Night of Sorrow on Dalna.

What would your contribution be for a book put together to restart a a civilization?
Don’t. Civilization kinda fucked the planet and is the reason you live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

If my deodorant doesn't work, should I use it more often or switch the brand?
Reply in thread
Anecdotal evidence here, if I use antiperspirants for any extended amount of time, I begin to sweat from my armpits uncontrollably, as in sweat literally pours out of my armpits like a leaky faucet, and that’s not an exaggeration. I now use straight deodorant exclusively and just deal with normal sweat amounts.
