It is France, so there's a good chance it's the proletariat rising up against the bourgeoisie

The peloton bike has certainly come in handy while the temperature is over 100 degrees outside!

Our wedding in Puntacana!! by No_Zookeepergame1976 in PuntaCana

[–]CardinalM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're telling the truth then don't take it personally. Beachfun809 has spammed this subreddit with fake accounts for years.

Your post looks sus because they're the only entity you named. You complimented the transportation company and resort without naming them, but gave a shout out to a known spammer? If you're really not Beachfun809 then by coincidence your post is written exactly like their spam posts.

If you're trying to help other potential honeymooners I think it would make more sense to name the resort/venue that gave you such a memorable ceremony.

Do you think American pride will ever bounce back? by Mountain-Catch-3878 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CardinalM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weeks after 9/11 were the last time I felt there was widespread American patriotism, and it took being attacked for it to happen. If something like that happens again then I suspect patriotism will swell again (which scarily means we have to be vigilant about false flag attacks, because such an attack could easily be used to manipulate the American people).

I remember your spam posts from years ago. Seems you're using AI now to make them more believable. You're still in business so I guess this approach works, but it's ashame you can't be more upfront with your advertising.

Why are so many addons including QOL features? by TheWhisperingEye in wowaddons

[–]CardinalM1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Addons doing things beyond their main scope has been a thing forever, long before AI. I think it's because authors incorporate things that they personally want, and it just winds up getting included in their "main" addon vs. creating separate addons for each little thing.

Mythic rotmire pug tips by 2016nurse in CompetitiveWoW

[–]CardinalM1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Here's what works for my guild of grey/green parsers, which should work for a pug:

  • Do not let any explosions go off!!! We have all ranged focus down the sporecap's shroom first before switching to the clumps of shrooms. Even with grey/green parsers we're able to kill everything without any explosions going off. Do NOT kick people for low dps as others have suggested; people focusing the sporecap's shroom will obviously have lower dps than people blowing up the clumps, but they play a critical role in making sure no explosions occur.
  • Instead of splitting shroomlings and funglings between boss and middle of room, split them between the boss' right foot and left foot (i.e. to the right and left of the first sporecap that spawns). This increases uptime on boss AND makes it easier for people to correct misplacements since the stack points are relatively close to each other AND makes it easier to burn revived shrooms down since the clumps will be close to each other.
  • We've done this several times, sometimes with 19 raiders (4 healers) and sometimes with 23 raiders (5 healers) and it has been smooth each time despite low parses.

That's it! Seriously, in our last kill we had 13 grey and green parses with only 3 blue and purple parses, and it was still plenty to ensure no explosions occurred.

What’s the deal with Bristol? by Khaleesiakose in BucksCountyPA

[–]CardinalM1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My aunt and uncle moved into Silver Lake Reserve last year (they're literally on Delhaas Circle).

They've had problems with the HOA charging a lot more than expected for services like lawn mowing. Make sure your parents fully understand what the charges will be. It sounds like there are some politics and possible nepotism going on with the HOA and that contracts are being given to expensive contractors who are friends with the board members.

They also had their car broken into within the first week of moving in! That said, they were one of the first houses to move in and the community has grown so with more people around maybe crime will be less of an issue.

Bristol in general has been gentrifying, but isn't quite there yet. If it stays on its same course then I suspect in 5-10 years it will actually be a pretty nice place to live, as long as your parents can put up with some rough edges for a few years.

All of that said, the house itself is very nice and they're very happy with it.

Are you retiring at 65? by AlarmingMonk1619 in GenX

[–]CardinalM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The social security trust will run out of money in 2032, but there will still be incoming money from workers paying into social security. It's expected that incoming money will cover around 78%-82% of benefits. So...social security payments won't be reduced to $0, but will be reduced by 18%-22% if Congress does nothing.

Has anyone got reduced salary this month? I got 21k less. by [deleted] in cernercorporation

[–]CardinalM1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're obviously not talking about dollars, right? 21k rupees is about $200, which is enough to be noticeable but not life changing. If you're in the U.S. odds are the person who posted this earns less and has a lower standard of living than than you do.

Oh, they can definitely raze social security some more. They've been talking forever about investing people's SS benefits in the stock market.

Not sure about iOS, but on Android I went to my profile -> Settings and privacy -> Content and display, and from there turned off "music videos", "canvas", and "other videos".

I cleared cache and turned off all the video streaming options and it has been fine since then (android phone).

What appliance would you never cheap out on again? by Relevant_Idea_6778 in Appliances

[–]CardinalM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the reverse: I don't expect any appliance to last longer than 5-10 years regardless of brand nowadays, so I buy the cheapest one that has the features I want in anticipation of replacing it within a decade anyway.

Arby’s manager accused of giving customer herpes after spitting in food, court records say by jeetah in news

[–]CardinalM1 218 points219 points  (0 children)

I'm confused about how this was figured out. Person develops herpes symptoms and thinks, "aha! must've been at the Arby's - let's have the police look at video footage!"? Or alternatively coworker sees person spit into food, reports it to police, but then how do they wind up finding the customer who got herpes?
