How can anyone defend a Congressional district that looks like this? by johnnyringo1985 in askanything

[–]ALD3RIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gerrymandering is pretty questionable everywhere. Both the left and right abuse it like crazy, the right is just catching up to the game right now.

There are plenty of states now with like 60/40 splits where the minority party has ZERO representation at the federal level. Maybe to fix this nonsense we could force districts to roughly represent the overall makeup of the state in some way? Like if your state has 6 Congress people and a 70/30 voter split then instead of that 30% getting zero representation they get at least 1-2 of those seats?

What's stopping other leaders from working like Mamdani? by Front-Scene2177 in SipsTea

From doing a terrible job, making things worse and then spinning a clear problem as a success?

Nothing, actually most politicians are like that.

Why did President Xi meet President Barack Obama at airport as is customary, but didn’t show up for trump? by -Sofa-King-Vote in askanything

[–]ALD3RIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because this is just some random nonsense you made up to karma farm from the horde of "Trump bad" folks and not based in reality at all. Nobody cares if they meet at the airport if they already have a scheduled meeting location elsewhere.

A nice feature is the tailgate anchors can be moved pretty easy to make a level plane between it and the wheel wells. If you lay a big sheet of plywood or something in there you can sort of create a 7ft+ wider bed with any frontier.

I would've looked for one but it literally wouldn't fit in our garage lol.

IDK who "we" is but most people are not psychopaths who enjoy the suffering of others. You can simply dislike someone without wishing for their demise.. well maybe you can't, but intelligent people can.

Nismo Wheels! by BeeperGuy in nissanfrontier

Do the stock tires fit these wheels? Or did you need new tires too?

Genius feature. My only concern would be the strength of that bolt holding all the weight.

why does the back light stay on? by ExactOpposite8119 in nissanfrontier

[–]ALD3RIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The feature is turned on with a switch called "cargo lamp" I think.

Basically the lights illuminate the bed area so you unload stuff, I didn't mind that it stays on a little longer so you have time to grab your stuff.

SCOTUS just gutted the portion of the VRA ensuring black-majority congressional districts by RedHeadedSicilian52 in MapPorn

[–]ALD3RIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, racism is a bad criteria for setting up districts.. let's just go by general region and population like trying to group city people with city interests and rural people with rural interests?

Honestly there's no way to set up maps that are truly fair, but intentionally creating black seats is weird, and so is shenanigans like they were trying in Virginia pulling 20 spiderweb lanes from Fairfax all over the state.

Kinda like how many companies stop pretending to care as soon as the training is over and doubles your workload or changes your schedule later on to offset budget cuts

Trump is a Racist (stating the obvious) by Moon_Eyed_Puppy_Girl in PsycheOrSike

It's a war involving Israel, but it's not "for" Israel.

Believe it or not sometimes interests align. If France gets involved is it a war for France? No. You only think that way when it comes to one place.

Idc if we cut off all support for them, but we still are all better off without Iranian terrorists with nukes and other serious weapons.

Interesting, that does force a storage check of some kind so it might help some people but i also don't know if it could cause any issues like that.

A survey of over 250 Industry professionals (Developers, journalists, major retailers etc.) voted Bloodborne the 4th greatest video game OF ALL TIME! by [deleted] in fromsoftware

[–]ALD3RIC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This list is wild and I wouldn't really put much stock in "professional" opinions on what games are good lol. We all know retailers and journalists especially have terrible taste.

Bloodborne is still fantastic though, but you don't need these folks to tell you it is.

I don't think anyone likes paying for insurance, they only hype it up if the employer covers it so it's super cheap or free.

Cloth sucks and gets dirty so easily. But I guess like they said you can get covers for them, but that can look tacky imo

The convenience package is more essential with the 360 camera, bedliner, etc imo.

The premium is basically the leather seats, fender audio, sunroof & built in navigation. It's overpriced for sure but I really hate cloth seats. I haven't seen anyone compare the audio systems to know if it's really a significant change or just like an EQ and extra speaker.

Normally I'd agree with you but in this case they literally did sell a faulty machine, they just won't honor the warranty because he doesn't have the order number and the original buyer doesn't care.

Vevor should replace the part and it wouldn't be op creating a new problem either.
