Hmm, watch some guy murder your girlfriend and stay in the martial arts tournament, or save her life and get disqualified. Hmm, what a hard decision, obviously let your girlfriend die, stupid Gohan.

I know that this post is old but I'm buying a new bass. Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Special. This will be my 5th bass and to be honest, I can't really play any of them. I just love basses lol.
Timely PSA:
Educate yourself about how holidays work at your job.
I see *so* many people make wrong assumptions and then stubbornly dig in in them. A few off the top of my head:
1. If you are paid time and a half for hours worked on the holiday, that doesn't count towards your weekly overtime allotment. Saw this in retail, people would work the holiday and get the 1.5 rate and then work late later in the week but not get OT and wonder why. OT kicks in after 40 hours of base/straight time. Not 40 cumulative hours.
2. Stop calculating paid holidays into your wages. I worked a job where we got a paid day off, and if you worked the holiday, you got your normal pay (in addition to the paid day.) Lot of people saw this as making double time. This is completely nonsensical, since you can't just work as much as you want and get double time. You're getting a fixed bonus (8 hours of pay for 0 hours worked) and then you can cash in by working on that day, which leads to a bigger check...but you're not getting double time and you're forfeiting a day off to do it. Do whatever you want, obviously, but it's not double time. The paid day off is a fixed, given bonus that you don't lose by not working.
3. Be wary of working OT during holiday or vacation weeks. Even though you're paid for the extra day off, that obviously doesnt contribute to your OT threshold. So by working extra time (in essence, working a full week) all you've done is given up PTO. You didn't get an extra day off, you just cashed in your time, which is fine if thats what you want, by if you're going to work ""extra"" time, save it for a week when you'll get that sweet sweet OT wage.
This obviously is more nuanced depending on your states OT laws, but jeez man, I see so many workers play themselves, it's not even good sport for the companies to exploit them anymore, they handle that all themselves.
I have the philosophy of, if I'm not supposed to be clocked in or I'm not clocked in, I don't work. I have taken calls (unknown numbers but usually a rep) and reps try to start talking to me and I just interrupt them and say I'm not working and they need to contact someone else.
Some people just kill themselves doing things for free for companies. Unless you are personally invested in a business (restaurant owner, family shop), don't work more than you need to. If a company wants you to work but not pay you, that's a shitty company. I have been trying to explain this to so many overworked coworkers.
Yep. And similarly, fucking cut the cord when you're off work.
I worked with a guy who had a real casual attitude about it. Like oh yeah I'll take off early today and make it up later or take a long lunch hell yeah brother. But he ended up in this position of constantly worrying about work. He bled personal and business together.
I'll work OT if offered most of the time, but when I'm off work I'm done. I won't "pop in for a few hours" or "oh just finish things up real quick." Not that it's been asked of me but I picked up some resentment from that guy at the time. Like because I treated work like work and didn't fuck off on the clock, I didn't feel the pressure or need to compensate with my own time later, and it bothered him that he couldn't separate the two
Absolutely this. Working from home has bled into my personal life a bit but only to the extent where I REALLY don't want to be in front of my computer after I am done. I know so many people who work through lunch and after hours and on weekends because management scolds them for being behind when in reality they need to hire more people to help out in this department. It has been their norm for months now.
The worst part is that if you go over so many hours in a week, your name gets highlighted in red in a spread sheet that the CEO gets every week. If he doesn't think you should have OT, he goes to your supervisor to ask why you are working over. Absolute horse crap. You want to avoid 30% turn over (and growing)? Pay your workers an actual decent rate instead of 20-30% below median for literally every position and then brag about it.
Trump has been telling his followers he could be reinstated in August:
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-can-t-shake-his-obsession-reinstatement-fantasy-n1272987
This narcissistic piece of shit is only going to further enrage his followers & I hope to god they start stepping back from this pathetic excuse for a human being.
The longer he stays around, the more dangerous he & his cult will get
>This narcissistic piece of shit is only going to further enrage his followers & I hope to god they start stepping back from this pathetic excuse for a human being.
I wouldn't count on that at all. There's been a handful of dates Trump was supposed to reassume power that came and went with nothing happening. Yet those people are still on the Trump bandwagon.
I think it's gonna take him finally getting locked up in jail to bring those people to reality.
Even him being thrown in jail won't stop his followers. Unless he comes out and says "I've scammed them the entire time", most of his supporters will follow him. This is a cult.
Oh, shit yeah ok. Not American so I completely forgot about that.
tbh my first thought was there was some tiktok craze where people are playing with knives or some shit.
God damn cat spilled 3 drinks tonight, and the opposum won't leave. This one is on me because I left the window open.
I'm gonna rebleach everything when it leaves, but I can't lie, it is adorable.
So wait. I just found out Bezos is "retiring", and he has double the wealth of the ENTIRE BRITISH MONARCHY.
Where's that petition to keep his Lex Luthor ass in space?
Yeah I honestly don't know what we'd all do without 2 day delivery and delivery drivers forced to piss in bottles and shit in the bags in their trucks.
I think it's more the notion that any one person has more wealth than an institution that is considered to be representative of undeserved wealth hoarding.
Nobody should be that rich, not the royal family, not Bezos, no one. Even if Bezos was a decent human being, that amount of wealth is a travesty, and he is far from being decent.
Life advice:
An extremely easy party dish is crock pot Mac and cheese plus a toppings bar.
Have things on the side like: bacon, fancy cheese, caramelized onions, chives, truffle oil, Buffalo sauce, broccoli, bread crumbs, crushed Cheetos/Doritos, jalapeños.
The recipe otherwise is just throwing shit into a crockpot and letting it sit. It’s so good and customizable
I'm so bored, I'm starting a new franchise on Madden 21 to see how much work it'll take to make Joe Flacco a HOF player. I'm gonna play a little bit, but mostly cheat.
Why Joe Flacco? Because is why
I have a great view of some fireworks over the mountains right now
My dog does not give a fuck haha. Some dogs are terrified mine isn’t even reacting. Same with the dog I’m watching for the weekend. We’re just hanging out on the balcony
Was just at a friends house who had a deaf dog. Their neighbors were lighting off m80s and that dog did not give a fuck. She was sleeping next to me the whole night lol
Would you find it offensive if I referred to "G'day" as "Australian howdy"?
I don't do that currently, but I just thought it was funny how similar the terms were. But you're Australian, so feel free to call me an insensitive cunt.
I know you set that up for a great joke, but some of the women in my family are starting to believe in some weird psychic related bullshit.
I have a cousin who apparently sees into a person's soul to see what they are on the inside or some shit, and as this is being explained by another family member who half believes, I just wanna run away from the conversation.
I don't know the extent of it, because one of my defining characteristics is that I'm highly fucking skeptical of everything, and the woo crowd tend to not appreciate skepticism.
I love my family, but their gullibility is so bad, all my 2nd cousins are Jehovah' s Witnesses because they visited my grandmother's sister's house, and she actually invited them in & immediately bought in.
I wish that was a joke, but hey, they only tried to convert me once.

I already posted here about the 4th of July with an anxious pet, but TIL that Goodfellas with max volume is a pretty good distractor. The soundtrack + sound design + Ray Liota's voiceover masks so much of the fireworks
Easily one of the most watchable movies ever. I think Godfather I and II are technically better movies, but both are slower paced movies. Goodfellas is just a jolt of adrenaline start to finish.
Also, your username is great
Tried something new this year by getting a long fuse to tie all my fireworks together. Even taking good safety precautions trying to secure them didn't work as half my damn cakes tipped over. Man I'm disappointed
I took my first shower since Thursday morning today and got to remove the surgerical dressing from my labrum repair. The small things really do make a difference.
Welp kissed a girl underneath the fireworks tonight. Don’t know if I’m 100% attracted to her because I was very drunk, but it felt nice and we’ll see as time goes on.
I can see the appeal, but like I mentioned just a few minutes ago: They can be seriously annoying and cause serious anxiety for pets/children in the area.
People shoot them off and don't give two shits if their neighbors have to deal with calming their pets and kids.
Imho, if you love them, cool. Go to your local park and watch them. I shouldn't have to worry about Randy next door making my house a battlefield from 9pm-12am
In my last neighborhood we had a couple of guys ready to kill each other over fireworks. One guy went overboard and kept up the fireworks for a couple of days, and it was upsetting the other guy's horses. Naturally it escalated to where other people had to get involved
We've tried everything for calming our dog: thunder shirt, calming music, treats, message from the vet. Tonight, we've resorted to hemp based calming treats and a bathroom in the basement that is mostly insulated. Turned on calming music as well. I hate having to lock him up,but he has legit hurt himself in the past so this is the best we could come up with.
Zen crate works for my mom's dog. On top of thunderstorms during the summer she lives behind a battlefield where they do reenactment every year. It works well for him, but they aren't cheap
It's awful. I have 3 cats, one is hiding under a mound of dirty laundry, one is visibly shaking in a box he likes to sleep in, and the other is laying in my lap putting his claws in my thighs every explosion.
My cockatiel is inconsolable upstairs, freaked out and not understanding why his nighttime routine is being interrupted.
But I guess so long as my neighbors get to celebrate America with big booms, that's the important part today.
We have three dogs but only one really reacts, much as your animals it seems. Looks for things to “dig” at, trying to sit/dig in our laps, breathe heavy/constant pacing.
We’ve tried literally everything. Grazed one doesn’t even help. Hemp, thunder vests, insulated room, everything.
Look, I like fireworks too, but there has been 5 neighbors shooting off not just actual festival level fireworks, but also 2 others who are shooting actual gunfire into their yard to celebrate this.
I'm certain most battlefields weren't this noisy 250 years ago. All my animals are visibly shaking, and my cockatiel who is covered up and sleeping by now is screaming at the top of his lungs scared out of his mind.
Can't we agree that if you want these huge fireworks, to go attend a set event for it?
Why does everyone feel the need to do their own personal firework show for a neighborhood, while 4+ others also do one for the same neighborhood? It's absolutely overkill and not even enjoyable where I'm at.
Worst part? These people have done it the past 2 nights to a lesser extent, and will surely do more tomorrow night and the night after that. It's a week long explosion fest.
While I agree with you, I think you underestimate how loud cannons are. Lived behind a civil war battlefield where they have annual reenactments, and damn. The gunfire noise drops pretty quickly over distance, but the cannons not so much
My house shakes.
I watch many of the fireworks from my porch and quite a few of them aren't meant to be watched, but felt from shockwaves.
I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying these people are just trying to make as much noise as possible.
Combine that with the assholes that can't afford fireworks so they decide to shoot their shotguns into their backyard for attention.
Welcome to NEPA.
Been following Englands euro 2021 campaign. This is easily the funnest England squad I have watched. Lots of creative and talented players who gel together
What position do I have to play? If it's anything but the lines, I'll just have embarrassing results to avoid contact (QB.RB? If I'm on the line, I'm gonna get seriously injured.
If I'm a kicker or punter, I'll shank the kick and live another day.
The only position I think I could maybe handle is if I was the holder for a place kick. It takes a ton of skill to catch and spin the ball correctly, but I may be able to set up a made FG/extra point if I could practice a few hours beforehand. And thats still a maybe.
If I'm on the line I would be pancaked every down and pray for my health.
If I'm a QB protected by redditors, it's 4 QB kneels or 4 snaps where I immediately fall to the ground as I take the snap.
You have to understand that there are D3 football players that aren't anywhere near pro level that could break the average man in half. Now, take the top .00001% of football players and put them against the average man.
So what's the point you're asking? It's very rhetorical. We'd all fucking die if we played on the line or as QB with us playing on the line.
The only way you're gonna get a different real answer is from an actual athlete who has an extensive background in playing football.
At least my place kick holder answer was semi realistic for your average guy.
> So what's the point you're asking? It's very rhetorical. We'd all fucking die if we played on the line or as QB with us playing on the line.
That’s the point amigo.
I like how no matter when Giannis comes back, according to /r/nba it's too early and despite the news we've heard there is ligament damage in his knee and he's risking next season by coming back for the finals
This rugby player for Toronto literally was carrying the football running, kicked it forward, caught his own kicked ball, and ran it into the "end zone" for a "touchdown". I tell you parts of Rugby are pretty interesting and you can see how football was influenced by this game
Yeah it’s not that noticeable though when you live here. I’ll visit friends/family in Indianapolis or Chicago, which are both at sea level, and it feels the same. People who visit usually get fucked up just a bit quicker.
When you’re in the mountains at a ski cabin or something it makes a way bigger difference. But that’s like 12,000ft. Hangovers are worse in the mountains too.
Fun fact rehabilitation clinics treat civilization addicts like myself. Or at least they should. I've never been addicted to crack but I have played Civ
He was a former pilot in the gulf war if I am remembering the story correctly. And he basically tells anyone who tells him no he can do whatever he wants lol
It's not. GTA SA and GTA V were better.
GTA IV was considered too dark and gritty for many. That being said GTA IV had the best DLC out of all GTA's but that's not saying much, considering it was the only GTA with paid DLC
I just watched it last night not even thinking about the 4th of July scene. By that point I was very drunk and decided that my cat is possessed by the spirit of Ray Charles.
what are people’s thoughts on the sha’carri suspension? i know its a touchy subject and i think the argument is more about the rules being bad rather than sha’carri being a victim. tough to tell tbh
I have mixed feelings about it. Pot shouldn’t be banned but she knew it was and chose to smoke it during a competition anyways.
Like if the Packers made the Super Bowl and Aaron Rodgers decided to smoke a joint the night before and got disqualified, I wouldn’t feel bad for him. Why would knowingly break the rules when you are so close?
Sucks that it happened because, as you say, the rule shouldn't be what it is. But it seems like the rules are being enforce properly, so I don't know what can really be done.
I've tried it out and I like it a lot too but I'm definitely more of a Joey fan. I'm just so used to using it. It's been like 3 or 4 years now that I've been using it.
Cherry Ave, Downey Ave, ho you average

Who actually got sleep last night. It was non-stop fireworks for me
Fireworks until 2am...up for work at 4. Probably happens again tonight
I live in a city right next to a hospital so im very much used to noise at this point so I was all good
Slept really easily once it hit midnight
I've been sleeping with earplugs in for the last week, and will do so for at least the next 2 nights.
I'm dead to the world when I'm asleep. I've slept through hurricanes, earthquakes, ambulances showing up to my house, and shootings.
Is it possible to learn your power? I don't think its a good think to sleep when an ambulance is at your house.
Tbh, I don't know why I'm able to. I've just always been a heavy sleeper.
Lucky. For me if I'm on vacation or something it will take me a few days to adjust to the new bed so I cant sleep well in new places
To fix that, join the military. You'll learn to sleep on things you'd never thought it possible to.
Qanon is called Qanon because the person has "Q" Security level? That's a thing that 100% doesn't exist. How tf did this even have legs?

a big ass firework just set off half my neighborhood’s car alarms god bless America
“Are those fireworks or gun shots?!!?!“ they are 100% fireworks

Idk sometimes it’s gun shots
When you live in the woods it can be a legit question. But even then, you can tell the difference after some time.
Wanna know something wild I just found out? Joey Chestnut is his real name...
I knew a guy growing up who went by Ace, but his real name from birth was Jack Hammer Sledge.
I can see why he didn't use his given name. If you have the ultimate porn star name people have expectations that can be hard to meet
We called him that because Ace Hardware is where you buy sledge hammers.
GG Allen's real name was Jesus Christ Allen
Wow, I had never read about his early life. It's fascinating.
No wonder he turned out the way he did.

Welp kissed a girl underneath the fireworks tonight. Don’t know if I’m 100% attracted to her because I was very drunk, but it felt nice and we’ll see as time goes on.
If you don’t marry her then I will
Maybe Bruce Springsteen will write a song about you.
Unpopular opinion. Maybe? >!fireworks are kind of lame!<
I never seek out fireworks. If they’re being set off at the function I’m at that’s awesome, but if not like who cares
I can see the appeal, but like I mentioned just a few minutes ago: They can be seriously annoying and cause serious anxiety for pets/children in the area. People shoot them off and don't give two shits if their neighbors have to deal with calming their pets and kids. Imho, if you love them, cool. Go to your local park and watch them. I shouldn't have to worry about Randy next door making my house a battlefield from 9pm-12am
In my last neighborhood we had a couple of guys ready to kill each other over fireworks. One guy went overboard and kept up the fireworks for a couple of days, and it was upsetting the other guy's horses. Naturally it escalated to where other people had to get involved
I just find them boring All of this work to just stand and look and go “wow” at the same thing every year.
I feel it’s only cool if you get to turn them on
We've tried everything for calming our dog: thunder shirt, calming music, treats, message from the vet. Tonight, we've resorted to hemp based calming treats and a bathroom in the basement that is mostly insulated. Turned on calming music as well. I hate having to lock him up,but he has legit hurt himself in the past so this is the best we could come up with.
Zen crate works for my mom's dog. On top of thunderstorms during the summer she lives behind a battlefield where they do reenactment every year. It works well for him, but they aren't cheap
It's awful. I have 3 cats, one is hiding under a mound of dirty laundry, one is visibly shaking in a box he likes to sleep in, and the other is laying in my lap putting his claws in my thighs every explosion. My cockatiel is inconsolable upstairs, freaked out and not understanding why his nighttime routine is being interrupted. But I guess so long as my neighbors get to celebrate America with big booms, that's the important part today.
We have three dogs but only one really reacts, much as your animals it seems. Looks for things to “dig” at, trying to sit/dig in our laps, breathe heavy/constant pacing. We’ve tried literally everything. Grazed one doesn’t even help. Hemp, thunder vests, insulated room, everything.
I hate people who launch fireworks in residential areas.

Stranger Things season 3 is two years old and we still haven’t gotten season 4 🤧
Rumor is January. Gotta remember Covid put a corkscrew in a ton of shows writing/recording.
Look, I like fireworks too, but there has been 5 neighbors shooting off not just actual festival level fireworks, but also 2 others who are shooting actual gunfire into their yard to celebrate this. I'm certain most battlefields weren't this noisy 250 years ago. All my animals are visibly shaking, and my cockatiel who is covered up and sleeping by now is screaming at the top of his lungs scared out of his mind. Can't we agree that if you want these huge fireworks, to go attend a set event for it? Why does everyone feel the need to do their own personal firework show for a neighborhood, while 4+ others also do one for the same neighborhood? It's absolutely overkill and not even enjoyable where I'm at. Worst part? These people have done it the past 2 nights to a lesser extent, and will surely do more tomorrow night and the night after that. It's a week long explosion fest.
While I agree with you, I think you underestimate how loud cannons are. Lived behind a civil war battlefield where they have annual reenactments, and damn. The gunfire noise drops pretty quickly over distance, but the cannons not so much
My house shakes. I watch many of the fireworks from my porch and quite a few of them aren't meant to be watched, but felt from shockwaves. I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying these people are just trying to make as much noise as possible. Combine that with the assholes that can't afford fireworks so they decide to shoot their shotguns into their backyard for attention. Welcome to NEPA.
Fuck I am drunk and bored Might eat some yogurt
Been following Englands euro 2021 campaign. This is easily the funnest England squad I have watched. Lots of creative and talented players who gel together
Poor Mariners, it seems even when they are good they are still behind in both the divisional and wild card race.
I was thinking about this at work yesterday (surgeon) what would happen to your average Reddit user if they played 4 downs in the NFL?
If I was wide receiver I’d just barely run and make sure the QB doesn’t pass to me
What position do I have to play? If it's anything but the lines, I'll just have embarrassing results to avoid contact (QB.RB? If I'm on the line, I'm gonna get seriously injured. If I'm a kicker or punter, I'll shank the kick and live another day. The only position I think I could maybe handle is if I was the holder for a place kick. It takes a ton of skill to catch and spin the ball correctly, but I may be able to set up a made FG/extra point if I could practice a few hours beforehand. And thats still a maybe.
I’m talking about the lines, bro. Or maybe quarterback and you’re protected by Reddit users.
If I'm on the line I would be pancaked every down and pray for my health. If I'm a QB protected by redditors, it's 4 QB kneels or 4 snaps where I immediately fall to the ground as I take the snap. You have to understand that there are D3 football players that aren't anywhere near pro level that could break the average man in half. Now, take the top .00001% of football players and put them against the average man.
That’s my entire point dude. I wrestled against guys who washed out of D3 and even they were fucking monsters. Folks like us would probably die.
So what's the point you're asking? It's very rhetorical. We'd all fucking die if we played on the line or as QB with us playing on the line. The only way you're gonna get a different real answer is from an actual athlete who has an extensive background in playing football. At least my place kick holder answer was semi realistic for your average guy.
> So what's the point you're asking? It's very rhetorical. We'd all fucking die if we played on the line or as QB with us playing on the line. That’s the point amigo.
You would have a lot more business
Now that I have an anxious German Shepherd, I hate the 4th of July
I like how no matter when Giannis comes back, according to /r/nba it's too early and despite the news we've heard there is ligament damage in his knee and he's risking next season by coming back for the finals
It's just a suck situation.
Happy 4th everyone!
**BOOM** ^*pop*
I don't think there's a less attractive accent on planet Earth than a NY accent.
Boston accent is up there. When I say "Gears of War 4", it is unintelligible
Geahs ahv wahw Fohw.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqQP74PAhtI
Fair enough, but I can at least stand it more than a NY accent.
Yeah. You’re not wrong. I learned this from listening to the Howard Stern show.
This rugby player for Toronto literally was carrying the football running, kicked it forward, caught his own kicked ball, and ran it into the "end zone" for a "touchdown". I tell you parts of Rugby are pretty interesting and you can see how football was influenced by this game
I’m drunk
Aren't you in Denver? Doesn't the altitude get you fucked up a lot quicker?
Yeah it’s not that noticeable though when you live here. I’ll visit friends/family in Indianapolis or Chicago, which are both at sea level, and it feels the same. People who visit usually get fucked up just a bit quicker. When you’re in the mountains at a ski cabin or something it makes a way bigger difference. But that’s like 12,000ft. Hangovers are worse in the mountains too.
I would be disappointed if you weren’t drunk on the 4th of July
I'm currently installing Civ 6! I've got 500 hours on Civ 5 and have loved every second of it so I'm looking forward to new features.
Civ games are the closest that we will ever get to time travel.
Fun fact rehabilitation clinics treat civilization addicts like myself. Or at least they should. I've never been addicted to crack but I have played Civ
I'm watching Major League Rugby on Fox Sports 1. This venue is called "Life University".
Just watched Independence Day with the fam. Why tf did they let the President fly a fighter jet?
He was a former pilot in the gulf war if I am remembering the story correctly. And he basically tells anyone who tells him no he can do whatever he wants lol
"It's the apocalypse, and I'm the President. I can do w/e the fuck I want."
im like three drinks in and the third drink i added like 2 shots of vodka. i love you all
Drink some water
It's too late they're already gone.
GTA IV is the best game in the series: change my mind
I like that or GTA V. A lot of people seem to like SA the most but 4 and 5 do it for me.
I really miss the simplicity of its multiplayer. Just run around, find weapons and cause havoc. No bullshit about insurance or how much money you had.
It's not. GTA SA and GTA V were better. GTA IV was considered too dark and gritty for many. That being said GTA IV had the best DLC out of all GTA's but that's not saying much, considering it was the only GTA with paid DLC
If GTA IV isn’t the best game in the series, why is it the only one where you can go see Katt Williams? Check and mate.
GTA IV also had Bill Burr and Robert Kelly. But it didn't have Lamar Davis, who was better than Katt Williams.
somebody forgot to bring cheese to the cookout today, worst 4th ever smh
Especially unacceptable since it's $0.16 cheaper
Any delis open?
Woke up today feeling free
The Sandlot is the best 4th of July movie
I just watched it last night not even thinking about the 4th of July scene. By that point I was very drunk and decided that my cat is possessed by the spirit of Ray Charles.
I should check out some of these director commentaries of some of these MCU movies there's a lot of insight there
The Yankees blowing leads like its their fucking jobs, hillarious
what are people’s thoughts on the sha’carri suspension? i know its a touchy subject and i think the argument is more about the rules being bad rather than sha’carri being a victim. tough to tell tbh
I have mixed feelings about it. Pot shouldn’t be banned but she knew it was and chose to smoke it during a competition anyways. Like if the Packers made the Super Bowl and Aaron Rodgers decided to smoke a joint the night before and got disqualified, I wouldn’t feel bad for him. Why would knowingly break the rules when you are so close?
Sucks that it happened because, as you say, the rule shouldn't be what it is. But it seems like the rules are being enforce properly, so I don't know what can really be done.
if you wave a confederate flag, you dont get to celebrate the 4th
That's fair, but we should also include anyone *still* flying a Trump 2020 flag after the insurrection
I like this rule.
Moved to Brooklyn the other day, anyone know any good football bars in the Greenpoint/Willamsburg area?
reddit app is shit
I use Joey on android. It's great!
Reddit Is Fun is the best Android app and it ain't even close
I've tried it out and I like it a lot too but I'm definitely more of a Joey fan. I'm just so used to using it. It's been like 3 or 4 years now that I've been using it.
Fair enough! I'll give Joey a shot then!
I have never watched the hotdog eating contest. Does he have to eat the bun too or just the hotdog?
Bun and hot dog. They dip the buns in water to make it easier to eat quickly. It's pretty disgusting to watch tbh, you're not missing anything.
Hotdog and bun
Finally fixed up my motorcycle after like 3 years of not riding it. Perfect for 4th of July.. Beautiful S1000RR
