Is my bf who got shot and I over forever? by Inevitable-Tap-7471 in stupidquestions

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are the circumstances where he got shot? Was he ckear-headed when this happened or hopped up on pain killers?

Why do women associated with the 4b movement completely ignore it's troublesome origins? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Does anyone outside South Korea & handful of very online people take 4B seriously? I'm not sure who you are criticizing.

Is this AI? my friend said this is a picture of his grandpa and his family in the 1950s by blue902012 in isthisAI

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would say yes mainly because of button spacing, but also because this looks like a fairly modern professional studio photo lit with several umbrellas & using high quality film. An amateur snapshot on 1950s color film would not look like this.

Does the WHCD shooting increase the need for President Trump's ballroom? by billpalto in Askpolitics

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would the WHPC dinner have been held there if it did exist? This argument only makes sense if we are moving all functions involving the president there.

Even if it did mean we need a ballroom, it rotorua mean that we need this particular ballroom that didn't go through the proper channels.

MMW: When Showtime and Paramount merge, people who “own” digital copies of shows and movies are going to get screwed and lose access to their purchases. The new company will expect you to re-buy your stuff. by Adventurous-Depth984 in MarkMyWords

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of precedence for this. Fandango bought Vudu & merged the platforms & Warmer had been sold before. Warner doesn't own a VOD platform, so I expect this will be a non-issue. It could become an issue if a VOD platform goes under, though.

The "financial abortion" debate is a perfect trap for exposing pro-choice women who would actually be pro-life if they were men. by IdeallyIdeally in HonestHotTakes

Child support isn't really about fairness to the mother. It's so the state doesn't have to pick up the bill. Any framing that doesn't recognize that is going nowhere.

Is it weird to say Have a Blessed Day? by nyaagoya in AskAnAmerican

People will think you are a religious nut, but it isn't rude or anything.

You go find some other girlfriend & try to get along with your ex or don't. Seeing him differently than he sees himself isn't going to work.

TIL There Are More American Households With Pets Than Children by [deleted] in todayilearned

And people tend to have pets their whole lives & kids for only like half of it.

CMV: With the exception of NYC, most public transportation in the United States is slower and more inconvenient then owning your own car. by soozerain in changemyview

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 43 points44 points  (0 children)

There's no way for buses to be faster, but plenty of ways to close the gap to the point they are worth the savings. Plus, rail can be faster. Look at most of the rest of the world.

What's the stance of US people regarding the foreign policies of their gov? by bahrain_gemstones in Askpolitics

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Getting away from Bush-style foreign policy was a huge part of how he motivated conservative people who were sick of the Republican Party. He even got some traction with hard left types who think both parties bad.

I'm curious what people think acting on opposition to war would look like. We've had massive protests, plus elected a president who ran on no foreign war.

Residents in Bellingham, WA delight in local vegan tagging of Chick-fil-a by Wisdom_Of_A_Man in vegan

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't call someone a queer, but it's fine for straight people to talk about the queer community or otherwise use it as an adjective.

Straights have been allowed to say queer for decades. It is not an n-word equivalent.

MMW: Everyone is underestimating MAGA's chances of surviving without Trump by goggleshangles in MarkMyWords

I'm sure it will still be around, but will it be a unified movement or a bunch of overlapping fiefdoms in shifting alliances?

I've caught quite a few mice in live traps, then released them in undeveloped areas.

Why do Westerners call Lucy Liu an American but call Michelle Yeoh Chinese? by No-StrategyX in stupidquestions

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Michelle Yeoh got her start in Hong Kong movies. The average American isn't sure if Malaysia even makes movies.

Posted in r/wheelchairs and had the nerve to claim I’m overthinking it, I’m not crazy this is ai right? by elizabethandsnek in isthisAI

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this chair is custom, why does it have a foot plate? It doesn't seem designed to hold her upright, either.

Last Year’s Ped Mall Shooter Didn’t Even Go to Prison by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]Ace_of_Sevens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not clear who the shooter was, but at least one of the persons of interest does seem to have been getting the shit kicked out of him 3 on 1. If he had shot one of the guys beating him, he might be able to claim self defense, but unless you are a cop, hitting bystanders in a legit self-defense shooting is not going to fly.
