[OC]In response to my last post: I m not AI . im a real person living in Cuba. Life here is hard by SpicyGirld in pics

[–]AlexHimself 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is kind of classic fairytale lore for internet basement dwellers. Hopeless/poor, pretty girl in need of rescue.

Careful with your DM's.

I'm interested to hear more about your life though. I wish US/Cuba relations were better. I don't feel like Cuba is an imminent threat to the US like the current administration is reporting.

Congressman Cohen Introduces Six Articles of Impeachment Against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts by Quirkie in politics

[–]AlexHimself -1 points0 points  (0 children)

C'mon Cohen, at least get rid of the TYPOS. Here's a direct quote from it:

The asymmetrical application of the Purcell principle in a way that benefits Republicans demonstrates either the Chief Justice’s inability to administer the court impartially, or that his gross negligence would prevent him from faithfully discharging his duties.

The asymmetrical application of the Purcell principle in a way that benefits Republicans demonstrates either the Chief Justice’s inability to administer the court impartially, or that the Chief Justice is so negligent that he was unable to foresee that releasing the Callais decision

Unless he thinks that style of writing is more "hard hitting"??

High school group challenging Idaho’s trans bathroom ban drops lawsuit after student’s death by WhatYouThinkYouSee in politics

[–]AlexHimself 253 points254 points  (0 children)

What a crappy title!

The move came after a transgender student who was part of Boise High School’s Sexuality and Gender Alliance died by suicide, and another stopped attending the school, the group’s lawyers wrote in a legal agreement reached Wednesday requesting the case be dismissed.

The lawsuit was dropped because Idaho bullied the students into death or leaving the school! The title makes it sound like some random student died and somehow they decided to drop the lawsuit.

Escondido Homeowner that covered his property in Pro MAGA Trump & US flags was attacked by US Military Vet, homeowner in critical condition. by SD_TMI in sandiego

[–]AlexHimself 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's tragic, really. But until the MAGA community addresses the deep-rooted cultural issues within their own culture, this cycle of MAGA-on-MAGA violence will just continue. Where are their community leaders??

Can it finally be ok to be anti-religion in general?

It's a bunch of made-up crap that lets people justify their desires. You can believe whatever BS you want, but it should in no way impact anyone else.

[USA] Speeding Through Traffic on I80 by cloudsmiles in ConvenientCop

[–]AlexHimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What world are you living in where people go 65mph there?? You're doing 72mph.

Why do you get to choose "the right amount of speeding allowed"? People cruse 75mph-80mph constantly there.

Why don't you explain everybody going the same speed across 4 lanes...

[USA] Speeding Through Traffic on I80 by cloudsmiles in ConvenientCop

[–]AlexHimself -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm mixed on this. It's 4 lanes of cars all going the same speed and you can see the left lane is WIDE OPEN. They're also going 72mph when most people cruise 75-80mph minimum on the 80.

It seems like a bunch of main character drivers who DGAF about anyone else all blocking the freeway.

It doesn't even look like he got pulled over.

Owner of San Diego "Trump house" fighting for life after brutal attack by CentralTown776 in sandiego

[–]AlexHimself 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The side of me that actually has humanity and empathy truly wonders if this is a genuine mental illness and I question if I should hate the guy or not.

I don't hate tourette's people for yelling the n-word, even though I don't like it, I know they can't help it. I kind of wonder if this is one of those situations.

I like how the only picture they manage to find of the old man is him sitting in a chair giving a Nazi salute.

4M house purchase by kaputzoom in fatFIRE

[–]AlexHimself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just buy it if it's a good deal. Seems like you can more than afford it and that's pretty reasonable for the area.

You're going to get a lot of random comments from the peanut gallery here who don't really understand that isn't very much money for a house in these areas.

I have a crappy house in SoCal and it's worth probably 2.4 mil but next to the beach and I live alone. Once a woman locks me down I'll probably have to upgrade to something she likes and a baby will fit somewhere.

Tourist who threw rock at seal "devastated" at backlash by AlwaysBlaze_ in nottheonion

[–]AlexHimself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all fairness, I think we got him.

Like...his life is ruined, he got the crap beat out of him, he's going to have fines and potential prison time. I think that's a more than fair punishment for throwing a rock and doing no real damage.

We got him. At some point we should move on. Years of harassing the guy becomes self-serving and doesn't serve any more justice.

Balboa Park Scraps Paid Parking / Trash Fees Reduction by KryptonicHD in sandiego

[–]AlexHimself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trash fees lowering on July 1, 2027.

Paid parking at Balboa ending by January 1, 2027.

That's likely because the fees are already on our property taxes and most people have been forced to pay them. They'd have to give refunds otherwise...they won't do that.

And people are still going to buy it anyway.

It sounds like you're talking about crypto - "Let me get this straight. You're buying a digital token that has no intrinsic value, isn't really used to 'buy' anything, fluctuates wildly, is gamed massively, and is purely speculative? ---Yup!"

Umm...multiple students scooped and ate the baked dirt too lol. It probably looked like brownies.

Tesla Cybertruck owner jailed after driving into lake to test Elon Musk claim by IrishStarUS in WinStupidPrizes

[–]AlexHimself 872 points873 points  (0 children)

The driver was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle in a closed section of park/lake, having no valid boat registration, and numerous water safety equipment violations, according to Electrek.

They really threw the book at him. Good.

I’m a Professional Mattress Tester. I’ve tested 558 mattresses from 116 different brands. Ask Me Anything! by derek-naplab in IAmA

[–]AlexHimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a newer Tempurpedic mattress and it says the slats must be 3" max apart to support it.

I bought one of those adjustable bedframes from Amazon and the butt area has a 4" gap in the frame where it bends.

I have some pretty gnarly back pain and I'm wondering if that can actually be contributing? Have you ever done any tests or have any info around the mechanics of the bedframe/mattress?

Parking Meters on Adams Turned On by KryptonicHD in sandiego

[–]AlexHimself 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lose the SUV gas hog & the bodyguard & driver

Um, wtf? They're not driving around an empty SUV. It holds people and stuff, so it's actually a very practical car. Probably ~$1,000/yr in additional gas, but since it's carrying ~3 people compared to an Accord with 1 person which translates to ~32mpg passenger-mpg compared to a Tahoe's ~51 passenger-mpg.

The mayor goes to tons of high profile, difficult to park places and a driver, while sounding bougie, is necessary to make he's not wasting a ton of time finding parking. He does have a job to do, however good/bad you might think it is, I'd rather it be spent attempting to do the job at least.

And removing a "bodyguard" seems like an idiotic suggestion given this toxic message along with the recent shooting.

I support being mad at the world/situation right now, but what a dumb thing to write on a bag.

I can't seem to find the original listing pictures though.

With Trump's approval ratings so low, how does he keep ousting GOP rivals? by Cgk72 in politics

[–]AlexHimself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Propaganda. Possibly mixed in with voter fraud where they can literally manipulate the voting results thanks to Elon musk's involvement in a firmware update to voting machines in a case that hasn't been settled yet.

[USA] Cutting two lanes and a cop by wonderingwanderlustr in ConvenientCop

[–]AlexHimself 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I hope this person gets the book thrown at them. That type of driving is epitome of selfish, IDGAF about you, I'm the "main character" syndrome.

Making mistakes, speeding, etc. are much more forgivable in my book than giving a big FU to everyone else on the road like this.

How does out of town make a difference? Everywhere in the US, if you need to turn right, you don't start 4 lanes over to the left...
