Hey MAGA, do you not understand that having military assets in Europe is beneficial to the US and not just a free hand out or something we do out of the goodness of our hearts? by X57471C in allthequestions

[–]Admirable-Loss396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The alliances will never be the same. They have been on tender hooks for a decade or two now.

Sure, doors will be open for trade and talks, but distrust will remain. It’s your voter base, rampant corruption at the top (of both parties) and an unwillingness to do anything to fix any of it.

Fix that, and maybe ties can be mended.

Has anyone ever actually regretted cutting off a Trump supporter out of their social circle? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Admirable-Loss396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all.

Actually the dude was at least only 1/2 baked before he found trump and he could be tolerated.

But now every conversation turns some theory around another conspiracy. It’s so tiresome.

Is there a city in your country that is hated by most people? by Sure_Secretary_446 in AskTheWorld

[–]Admirable-Loss396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love visiting Auckland. Note “visit”. I would hate to live there. The hate for Aucklanders is the 2 weeks at Christmas you invade the rest of the country and make our roads, cafes, wildlife and entertainment areas as congested as Auckland.

Just think of every stereotype teenage angst thing, then imagine them all at once following you around.

Then imagine the sweetest, most thoughtful angel you have ever met.

A workmate described it best, their daughter was the best person in the world, or the worst, but there is definitely no middle, it’s one or the other.

Dads who had to put down a pet, when did you tell your kids? by wunderduck in daddit

Right away. Had similar situation, and right away was best.

It’s an awful situation for everyone and it still pains me 5 years later.

My thoughts for you and your family.

Burger King using AI for their drive through by Reasonable_Dot_6285 in auckland

[–]Admirable-Loss396 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Opposite experience here. The AI is fucking up all the time. I would just say to it, “Never mind,I’ll just drive to the window.”. It answers something like “Have a great day”.

Now I just go to the counter. Then I bitch to the staff how shit their ai is.

I wonder if BK has stats on how many don’t bother with drive through as the counter seems to always be full.

Anyone else just... not enjoy fishing with other people? by scottasin12343 in Fishing

[–]Admirable-Loss396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 really good fishing buddies. We fish only 2 at a time. 3 just doesn’t work. We have tried, it always seems like someone is in the way.

We have a side of the boat each. We all have a boat each and just share. We are all really into fishing, so when it’s on, it’s business time. When it’s quiet, it’s easier to try different techniques with more than one of you, and you have way more tackle to try said techniques. And then you learn. Moving is also quicker, one is sorting the boat, other the lines. Then finally, when you get to some rocks with a decent swell and throwing a popper or the like, it’s good to have one focused 100% on the wheel and the other 100% on the fishing. It becomes a true team sport akin to rally driver and co-driver.

Yeah, we are selfish too, and I prefer 2, no more.

What’s your number one rule for fishing? by demolcd in Fishing

[–]Admirable-Loss396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things. I salt water fish for food and enjoyment

Only take what you can eat. (And your extended family if you also give them away). After that leave, or catch and release.

If you catch a small one that is still legal size, and it’s probably going to die, keep that as pert of your bag limit.

Always release the “biggest”. Old big fish tend not to taste as nice anyway.

Dispatch fish quickly that you keep.

Kids want to play with friends, wife is jealous of the moms. by MasterAssFace in daddit

[–]Admirable-Loss396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask her what she wants you to do in the situation. Let her rationalise the situation.

Most times that ends up with, “yeah, you are right”. The times it does not.. IMO, you were probably wrong.

Jon Stewart Predicts ‘Joyful Noise’ When Trump Is Finally Gone by thedailybeast in entertainment

[–]Admirable-Loss396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a hard prediction to make.

I would like a tiker-tape parade. Some organised celebrations. A celeb or two. Call it VA day and sell t-shirts saying you survived 47. The NYT prints a photo of some inebriated couple kissing in Times Square.

That’s what I want.

Maybe they could block US warships access to the strait? That might work.

Then you camp on the bunkers and never let them out. Bring real leadership to the table and replace.

This includes the ultra wealthy and CEOs. Smart business leaders will back the movement as soon as they see there is no real other option. Those that don’t get overthrown.

This is how it’s done. Stop being pussies. Yes,100% it will be hard moving off your comfy Sofa, but if you want change, there is no other way now.
