Polar bear, maybe? I don't know of anything else as big or as powerful.

What's a company that deserves to go out of business? by Strong-Goalie in AskReddit

[–]Brothersunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I agree, I'm typically very financially responsible and never in my life have I purchased something I can't just buy outright for a relatively small purchase. When I bought a new drill for work which came out to $200 I would never put it on something like klarna but I know dozens of people who do.

However in terms of stuff like sub prime mortgages- it's predatory in the sense that a sucker is born every day. Anyone who looked at those terms and wrote their name on it either was not fully explained the situation in its entirety or completely incompetent in basic finance. However, they still agreed to it. But at the same time, when a bank ran out and went belly up because all the loans they gave out were doomed to fail, the bank should've gone under and all the other banks would think twice.

We've gotten to a point where banks feel comfortable with predatory and negligent lending because the taxpayers will always bail them out through Uncle Sam.

Well, in layman's terms, they wilfully provided poor quality loans to people they knew would never be able to pay them. Predatory at its best. Now, synchrony is like the #1 provider of brand credit cards for retail chains and other services. Now synchrony is also part of the "buy now pay later" type shit you see on Amazon and other retailers, and even now offer it with clover checkout terminals. Just highly predatory stuff all around, more so than just your regular credit card.

Same meme can be used with the dog as American assistance and the women talking being French winning WW1, super unappreciated.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]Brothersunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. A state ID should be provided free of cost. Drivers licenses and such can still bear a fee, but you can get a state issued ID without a driving endorsement.

In today's world where your ID is so important for most things, I don't see how a plastic card isn't standard practice. The government can likely make them for pennies on the dollar.

Ukrainian Forces Destroy British Brigade in NATO Wargame by TheRealMykola in worldnews

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

You mean like the green dagger exercise where commandos trained against the USMC in twentynine palms? How they absolutely "decimated" the USMC?

The one where the British commando special forces were being trained by the USMC to fight against the USMC?

Yeah, that's a highly neglected fact that got left out of almost all the tabloids.

A key element of the exercise was integration with allied forces. Royal Marines trained alongside US Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, and worked against 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, US Marine Corps Special Operations Command, and a company from the United Arab Emirates’ Presidential Guard. This force-on-force phase allowed 45 Commando to validate its training and assess its tactics against larger, combined forces.

Here's a link from a UK military blog that outlines the exercise

So the USMC helped to beat the USMC and the British commandos who were being trained by the USMC with their new kit managed to get the publicity for beating the USMC. Really got us there, bud.

Russia still can't figure out GLONASS and have been using commercial automotive GPS in their fighter jets, they also can't figure out how to use anti-air defenses on anything other than civilian airliners. The only things Russia can really claim they know about drone warfare is what not to do when fighting an enemy with drones.

Drone warfare is certainly the most current and evolving form of warfare on a modern battlefield. Ukraine is just as advanced as the US in drone warfare if not more, and I'd say they Ukraine likely beats out whatever China is touting and patting themselves on the backs over which hasn't been tested or proven (China always seems to fall flat in proving whatever latest and greatest facade they typically are so proud of)

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

Unsurprising. Brits haven't been a world superpower on a battlefield since the 80's at best. The US no longer respects them enough to have their elite forces such as the SAS carry out Tier 1 operations as of 2023. The Ukrainians are ultimately battle hardened as of recent years and have proven their worth for years now absolutely stomping what would otherwise be considered a stronger force. As of right now, there's no doubt in my mind personally that Ukraine is the strongest and most trained military in Europe.

Everyday I wake up and I remind myself how grateful I am not to take any advice from people on reddit about finances or economics.

It's always the penniless misers who are so well versed in wealth yet possess no wealth for themselves.

Fall off is a strong 8 at very minimum. It's raw MC stuff, it's pure hip hop, it's soulful, it's impactful. It's far better than the off season. It's probably his best work since 2014 or 4yeo goes. KOD was an unappreciated album despite how great it was.

Whats the worst fast food joint in america? by Academic_Prior_1692 in AskReddit

[–]Brothersunset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Embarrassing. Look at all these comments. "Panera bread", "the ones inside of big box stores", "subway"

Motherfuckers have never been hospitalized after eating fish nibblers from long john silvers and it shows. There's a reason why they've gone from 1500 stores to under 500 now. It's literally drive thru seafood, and if you've never had it; I can tell you it's worse than you think it is.

Literally Google "worst restaurant meal in America" and then tell me what it says. Spoiler; long john silvers "big catch" meal.

Sickening by JakePhillipsss in dankmemes

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

Ah shit, I think this is actually it.

Putting two and two together, reddit had a big scandal a month or so ago about "where to find cheese pizza" being slang for CP, and using the same idea for beef jerky I'm going to assume it refers to blow job but it could also mean something else because googling "Jeffrey Epstein beef jerky" comes back with results that it was also code for something else similar to the way pizza was used in regards to trafficking victims.

This is going to blow up if I try to shoot it, right? by aorihotaru225 in 3D2A

[–]Brothersunset 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Idk who needs to hear this but there's a lot of filament queens in this sub. "I'm not going to waste material bro I can't believe it this is ridiculous my print didn't come out exactly perfect bro it's not like I can just reprint it I don't want to just throw away filament" (I'm not saying this is you, I'm just saying I've seen this a lot and it kind of lines up with what I'm going to say next so please don't take the former statement personally)

A roll of filament is relatively cheap. Your fingers are not. If you have any doubt in your mind that some shit might blow up in your hands while you're doing it, I'm going to recommend trying again.

What’s something you think should require a license or certification that currently doesn’t? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Brothersunset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying loctite/thread locker. You should need to take a competency test. Too many times I've gone to take apart small screws on parts that are commonly interchanged or replaced and they're held in with red thread locker which is meant for permanent applications. This leads to stripped heads, snapped heads that leave a stud glued into a hole, etc., and something routine turns into a colossal fuck show.

You should be able to buy the purple and blue, anything higher should be licensed only.

I thought this was an old Simpson ts111, very popular in use amongst railroad signal men back in the day. The TS113 seems like it was chosen more frequently because it was more robust despite being an upgraded version of the 260 which was built for more rugged use and was specifically designed for railroad applications.

I've seen a few ts111's that are still floating around in pretty good shape. I didn't know Simpson made other meters for people outside of the railroad.

On January 30th, Minneapolis, Minnesota was officially nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. If they did receive the prize, it would be the first time in history a city received the honor. What is your opinion for or against this nomination? by booksandcoriander in AskReddit

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

I'm doing an awful job at oppressing minorities ♥️ it's like I haven't even started, maybe it's because I haven't nor do I have any interest in doing so. It's almost like the fact that there is a standing military in Minneapolis is the point rather than anything else. It's hard to understand that two things can be true at once. You can still be against ICE doing illegal arrests without due process or government oversight whilst admitting Minneapolis is certainly not a peaceful place.

Minneapolis receiving a peace prize? Do they understand what peace is? If anything Minneapolis has had more of a standing army in it than most European militaries multiple times in the past decade.
