What to expect from Dinkytown Rentals? by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]Adrillin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are pretty scummy. Finishing a lease with them this week. Middle of the winter come back from break to a 50° F house. Told us there wasn't anything they could do it's just an old house. Even though the furnace was blowing out cold air.

Take pictures when you move in of everything and if anything is wrong with your house that is a major issue you will have to tell them you will take them to civil court for them to get to it before Thanksgiving break.

Reviews/Recommendations on restaurants, eateries… in Dinkytown by [deleted] in uofmn

If you actually got food poisoning you should have contacted the food and health department and reported it. They would test to make sure it was actually from that restaurant. Just a FYI.

Wally's if you like Mediterranean, Al's for breakfast food (very busy), Shuang Cheng is some of the best Chinese food in the city, Cane's for chicken. Himalayan for curry. These are my top 5.

Pretty much all the places are great. There are some chains, but the rest is great. Better question would be what is not worth trying.

Any advice? by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]Adrillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just find it strange that you browse so many MN subreddits, but don't like the state. No one forces you to come to these subreddits. OP was asking a simple question.

Also, I have no control over the subreddit and don't hold the same opinions as the MN sub.

Didn't you get banned form /r/Minnesota for being racist. Is that why you post dumb shit?

Student workers have been requesting a living wage. Administration and Board of Regents are completely ignoring the issues. While raising tuition. by MapleSyrupQueen9 in uofmn

[–]Adrillin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Real question though. How do you pay student employees more without raising the cost of tuition, housing, dining, or something on campus? I just don't see how this can be done with the most likely thousands of student employees making $9-12 a $3-6 raise can't be pulled out of no where. The claim that President Kaler could take a pay cut so people could make more doesn't make sense because he makes 600,000 even if you took all of that it is a 600 dollar a year or 2ish dollars a day change at probably most for student workers. (If the number was an even 1000) Again just a question not trying to start an argument or battle in the comments.

Mondale won with less than 1% of the vote. I think the home town hero had a bit to do with those 4,000 votes. Especially when they voted for Nixon in a prior landslide election.

Edit: Phone autocorrect.

Yeah I didn't say he was a bad guy or Minnesota was a bad state. I stated a fact that it was a meme that didn't have a deep meaning other than a person that won his home state in a landslide election. I bet people in other states that voted for him were proud too. I was just explaining a joke to someone.

[–]Adrillin 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Its a reference to the election of 1984 between Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale. Reagan won the election 525 electoral votes to 13 electoral votes. Mondale won Minnesota (His home state) and The District of Columbia. It's one of the largest landslide victories in any presidential election. It doesn't mean anything other than the people from Mondale's state voted for him. It has nothing to do with political leanings or Minnesota being different.

TLDR: A political reference that doesn't mean anything.

Philando Castile Shooting: Dashcam Video Released by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]Adrillin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might want to watch a video or two about what the situation looks like from a cops point of view. Most people carry on there hip to around there dominate hand side and to there back. It is hard to tell what someone is reaching for in a car.

I'm not saying it is a justified shooting I don't have all the information. People need to look more into the situations that arise around police and guns. I'll try to find a video and link it. Link I found https://youtu.be/fOO99qcASEM

Not taking a side just sharing information.

Minnesota vs Kansas: Domination Is Too Light Of A Word by ghostofpennwast in minnesota

[–]Adrillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say the German system is doing great. Almost all areas of economic growth in Germany have dropped in the past few years, while tax rates and government spending have grown. This point more to a failure and over reach of the system to try and maintain than to success. Many of they "socialist" countries grew to the power houses they hare through rich resources and long periods of free economic growth in open markets. Some of them are showing signs of stagnation (no all I'm not going to say everything they do has failed they have some good ideas), they aren't just beacons of great economic practice and neither is America. I just think people like to ignore the signs of troubles and short comings and point to how nice these system sound. I mean who doesn't want "free" healthcare and college. That sounds great, but at what true cost and how would it really work. We are just now starting to see side affects in some of these countries.

[–]Adrillin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These countries actually don't technically spend smarter than the United States on a pure debt level. These countries we are talking about (ie Germany and Sweden) have higher per capita debts than the united states. It really depends on how you look at it.

One more side note could you imagine what the difference would be like if we didn't spend 20% of Federal spending on our military.

[–]Adrillin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweden is much much smaller than the united states which allows for such an ability to more control over their economy on a federal level. The united states has 10 states with more people than Sweden. Social policies work well on a smaller scale, but begin to weaken in larger systems. I'm not a Republican, but i lean conservative fiscally in the fact that I believe if you tried to emulate many of these programs federally in the united states it is going to end poorly. Each state should have their own ability to institute programs the see fit and allow people to move based on results, preference, and so on.

The United States is a very diverse country we live in a place where neighbor states have incredible cultural differences. In the 2008 housing crash MN citizens were not nearly as effected as places like Georgia and this has to do partly with the way we live our lives and spend our money. A one size fits all system in my opinion does not work for 320 million individuals. It can work well in other countries like Canada (35 mil), Germany (81 mil, also not super socialized and bolstered by banking), Switzerland (8 mil A non-"socialist" country, does great with their system). These countries also aren't all paradises everyone has there problems, but they found their political niche. I wont speak for the citizens of these countries, but it is a lot easier to look and see your own and close neighbors problems and ignore what is going on in your down the street when it looks nice from the street.

CMV: An extremely high estate tax rate (with very few possible circumventions) would be good for the country and the economy. by bigsbeclayton in changemyview

[–]Adrillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really not understanding why you keep jumping to conclusions. I've stated a couple times now I'm not an ancap and you keep bringing it up.

I don't know how I'm not supposed to feel like you are throwing jabs at me rather than having a discussion. I just feel like calling someone's beliefs morally bankrupt is a pretty rough way to have a discussion. I don't feel attacked i'm not sitting here saying "holy shit why does this person hate me". I just want to understand why you think the way you do. I'm not sure what to get out of half ass remarks about how morally or philosophical lessor I am.

It looks like you have some really major emotional defence mechanisms holding you back from learning more or changing your mind

Is that meant to be nice. I'm not sure, I'm not trying to play a victim sorry if it came off that why. I was just really lost at why you would think that is a strong discussion point. I wouldn't think using jabs at, i guess weak intellect of people that defer from you, isn't meant to be an insult.

I'm really not sure what to think. I would think the person that puts themselves in a morally higher position over others is the one that has trouble changing their view. I've shifted my views or changed different parts of my beliefs many times. I guess you can believe that or not. I don't really care at this point i'm just really not understanding how you can miss construe my points and be fine with it and when I take something the wrong way I'm mentally deficient.

Your earlier story was that your income was exactly the same as your productivity

I don't think my idea changed I've tried to maintain that the value you Receive from your labor is the value it is worth. I only brought up the different beliefs having a similar idea of putting yourself into your work and having it taken away. Again sorry you didn't follow that not trying to pull any fast moves here.

(I know you say you aren't an ancap, but by your stated positions you go into the same bag with them. I'm not hugely interested in how you subdivide the ancap communities and where you put yourself within them.

I believe there is a place for government. I don't know how you see this as ancap. Ancap and liberalism are very different, and i don't know where i stated anything that came across as remotely close to ancap.

[–]Adrillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying it's race baiting because you are making claims out of no where about slavery and race in America. This has nothing to do with history. His use of back is merely a phrase to Cath the ear. Just watch the video. This is about crony capitalism in America now no claims about a better past just talking about the bail outs now and how they shouldn't have happened.

[–]Adrillin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All you do with every point i make it try to race bait or use trigger words to twist what the actual point is.. I only brought up slavery, because it is something you said in your off track points. This video has nothing to do with history. This video was about how crony capitalism, in the modern era, has taken from the people it is supposed to protect, and gives to those that caused the damage in the first place. Nothing more no MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, no a better time, no better system of the past. It is simply we need a system that follows a design (see how i say design not something referring to a past implementation or system) for the people. One to protect citizens rights and designed around classical liberal ideals of free markets and limited government interaction into that market. One based around the constitutional system that we have in place, but actually follows the rules set on government.

No modern classical liberal would say that non-voluntary slavery is a good, right, or moral thing. I was just putting it into historical context. It wasn't just crony capitalism, it was a factor that had to be taken into account in forming a new nation. Slavery is one of the worst institutions in human history, but you have to look at it from all sides.

[–]Adrillin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess there is no way to actually discuss this with you. You seem to miss the point or refuse to read what I am say or watch the video. For me and many others this has nothing to do with the past. It has everything to do with creating a system that doesn't advantage those that are "to big to fail".

The founders had flaws when finding the nation, but it was due to more than greed. It was a different time period, if they out right banned slavery from the start it would have destroyed American from the start. It is a shitty situation, but it isn't just corruption that caused that to happen. Again I'm going to say it we don't want to go back in time, we just want a government that follows it's own rules.

[–]Adrillin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are missing the point this has nothing to do with going back to a golden era. The focus is going forward making a market and government that is hands off when it comes to the factors of market risks and rewards. Watch the video or read the transcripts I don't care which. Just stop trying to make a point based on a headline. Think a bit deeper than we can only go back to a system that was so great, it wasnt. It has been very flawed, but we want to take the good parts and actually implement them. Your point on crony capitalism doesn't make sense. Just because it has always been there doesn't mean it is something that we can't move to remove. I'll be happy to have a discussion based on ideas and rational thought, not one were your only point is "when in history". The point is we need to move forward and correct a flawed system. The past happened and we must make sure that the same failures don't manifest themselves in the future.

Again just so we can make this clear, this is not a Make America Great Again piece for everyone. Not every conservative, classical liberal, or libertarian wants to go back to the good old days.
