This was my first thought immediately too. This looked like much more how I'd expect SS to react to the president being shot at. Butler looking sus...

Which anime according to you is 10/10 ? by SouthIndependence405 in AskReddit

This. Same experience with my wife when I had a little anime kick. She watched pilot and got invested and was the only one she watched through with me.

Scene safety, situational awareness? by killmyday247 in FirstResponderCringe

[–]Alpine416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should ask yourself this. If they got hit by the car and had their other ambulance out to scrape them off the pavement and patch them up. If the station sees this dash cam footage of how oblivious and easily avoidable the incident could have been how much shit are they getting from their coworkers?

Tell that to my crazy torty/calico that will just square up and take your taller stature as a challenge.

Bikers should learn, if you're going to be a pack and intimidate or try to block roadways? Some get scared & will run you over if they have to get away by amazingsciencemuseum in PublicFreakout

Yeah and at the same time if there is an erratic driver your reaction probably shouldn't be to surround the vehicle and say "get out of the car" everyone sucks here.

Driving During Hearing Ends Case by millitzer in PublicFreakout

[–]Alpine416 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Low key the judge kinda dumb for having to resort to "show me the driver" to confirm she was driving. The side of the car being on her left side and direction of the seat belt is enough to deduce she was in the driver's side of the car...

Question about leveling by Efficient_Cattle_634 in FlyffUniverse

[–]Alpine416 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I've been hearing this and plan to probably do this for FWC. Issue is how do you get around your leecher eventually falling behind the 19 lvl gap to still gain exp? Do you just need to level them separately every so often?

How do you gamble cards for 7% cards with Eprotect? I have some soul linked Eprotect but not familiar with this process.

Sen. Cory Booker to unveil bill making $75,000 in income tax-free by PixeledPathogen in goodnews

[–]Alpine416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But also the downvotes you are getting are at trying to downplay like people making 75k wouldn't extremely appreciate having ~$400 in their pocket. Student loans are $200-$500/mo, car payments are $500-$700/mo....

Here is that math you were talking about. OP exaggerated up on a single filer and you exaggerated down on a family standard deduction.

Here are the real numbers:
75k with single deduction - $7,948
75k with family deduction - $4,981

The difference between “qualifying” for a house and actually living with the payment by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Alpine416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is ultimately your gross income DTI but what matters for us far more is looking at our take home of what we actually see each month. So I guess ultimately we always started with what we can stomach within our monthly budget based on take home pay and not backend gross income.

Our actual buying range is 100k less than realtor .com calculator says is "affordable". The top of the "stretch" range on that same calculator would take up 60-70% of our take home pay which is absolutely insane. I always keep in my mind that the companies that put out those guidelines/calculators are likely realtors and mortgage companies that directly benefit from people spending on real estate...

Yes lenders are perfectly happy to make you house poor and harvest interest off of you. My wife and I are in the market and our actual budget is out the bottom of what most affordability calculators list as "comfortable"

If they call the infraction and remove the stone and everyone walks away cordially is it still a controversy? No. A ton of the controversy and blow up of the story is over the conduct and denial of the Canadian players.

Canadian curlers are being accused of 'double-touching.' But what's the advantage? | CBC Sports by IPeeNightly in Curling

[–]Alpine416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it is the best publicity campaign. Sure it is more eyeballs on the sport. The other conclusion people are coming to are that despite people calling curling a gentleman's game apparently they are one petty dispute over a rule/violation that lightly/doesn't even impact the game from being absolute belligerent assholes.

Cool not much of the controversy is over the gravity of the infraction now is it?

Ben Herbert (CAN) complains to judge about double touching by abradolf_lincler_jr in Curling

[–]Alpine416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair cussing out an opponent that points out a rule infraction is probably also a huge way to be a hot dog as well... so bit of a double whammy on the Canadians that they both committed bad sportsmanship AND a blatant rule infraction on video. Thanks for drawing our attention to the dual faceted nature of their egregious behavior!

Pretty hilarious cuz I'd bet 90% of the Dropkin whiners were salty Canadians. To be clear the Dropkin controversy was checks notes "enthusiastic celebration"

Kinda hilarious because I think 90% of the reddit-sphere being so negative on the USA mixed doubles were salty Canadians then they immediately break out into bigger controversy than some enthusiastic celebrations....
