  • What unusual/uncommon item(s) do you always keep around for a perfectly logical reasons?

    Jump

  • Jam the bottom of the lighter flat against the bottom of the bottle cap. With your other hand grab the neck of the bottle as high as you can. Your hand should be pushing the lighter up against the cap hard enough that you don't need to hold the lighter with your other hand. Squeeze the neck of the bottle to flex those finger muscles, and push down on the lighter like you would any other bottle opener. Enjoy your beverage!

  • Follow the money. Advertisement exists because businesses demand it.

    Your post is literally shooting the messenger.

  • Consumerism ahhhhh moment

    Jump

  • Those reps are advertising, just not to us.

  • How do YOU personally determine if someone is a good or bad person?

  • To be fair, there's nothing wrong with throwing away family members who are not good people.

  • Easy. By what they say and do.

    I assume everyone is good by default, and I'll usually let a tasteless joke slide once, because we all occasionally put our foot in mouth.

    If their actions and words don't mesh with my own moral compass, they aren't a person I associate with any more than necessary.

  • good products don't need advertisement

    Oh yeah? Name the best, highest quality product you've never heard of.

  • What's your favorite band?

    Jump

  • Aww, I still remember singing along to Radio/Video with my daughter when she was two.

    She'll be graduating college in May. 💀

  • What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?

    Jump

  • Clicking OK without reading the box.

    It won't work, I get an error.

    What's the error say?

    Let me try again. Ok it says enter a time.

    Did you enter a time?

    No.

  • What television series in your opinion had very good writing and character depth?

    Jump

  • That was a good one! Got a little weird at the end, but they wrapped it up well.

  • TIL drinking, smoking, games, etc are all "social lubricants" for making conversations easier.

    Jump

  • Oh yeah. You DEFINITELY need to come over and smoke a cone with me.

    Jump

  • Disclaimer: smoking is a nasty habit, and it's better to never start than to try to quit.

    That being said, it's pretty crazy how smoking cigarettes brings people together. I'm very reluctant to talk to people I don't know, but if I go out for a smoke and I see a few other people smoking outside, they instantly became my new best friends.

  • Sons of Anarchy

    Lost (until it sucked)

    The Middle

    The Office (US)

    Animal Kingdom

    My Name is Earl

    Young Sheldon

    Funny thing about Young Sheldon, When I started watching it, I had never watched Big Bang Theory, and honestly, now that I have, I don't even really like it, but Young Sheldon is better than it deserves to be.

  • Weed definitely does the opposite for me. I get inside my head and overthink what I'm about to say and eventually realize the topic has changed and do it all over again.

    Alcohol makes me the most outgoing person on the planet.

  • What is a good Documentary/movie that would break conservative without demonizing them on a personal level?

    Jump

  • A neighbor or coworker is probably a lost cause, but this friend sounds open to change.

  • I'll ask my wife, because she's been consuming a lot of racism lately. (Lots of civil war era books, with a strong focus on the injustices against black people.)

    Off the top of my head there's of course, Roots.

    We also watched the Free State of Jones. It's based on a true story that puts you in the shoes of a Rebel soldier who goes AWOL, and befriends a group of runaway slaves.

    Since you know your friend better than any of us, you might want to watch any suggestions alone, and possibly even search online for an in depth analysis of it before presenting it to your friend. That way you can be prepared to intelligently discuss any topics that might come up.

    EDIT: My wife reminded me of American History X, which is more anti KKK than pro-black, but it's also much more modern and VERY graphic.

    Good luck!

  • If you called someone "skinface" it would feel like a huge insult even though it's meaningless and people's faces are made out of skin.

  • Ha ha! Epidermis means hair.

  • Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?

    Jump

  • Thanks for asking this. I've always known light and paint worked on different color systems, but I never really understood the why behind it. Great answers!

  • What's your favorite band?

  • System of a Down

  • What do we do now that we found out the world is run by a billionaire parasitic class??

  • True, but it sure helps blow off some steam!
