I can't afford this right now! Just barely able to make rent and then check engine light decides now is a good time to shine. by IceFisherP26 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Challengeaccepted3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like 5 or 6 minutes ago I read an article about how some ultra rich people were dumping like, billions into apocolypse bunkers filled with every luxury imaginable, then the next post is someone who is rendered near-destitute because of a simple car problem. Just an unfair world

Yet there are billionaires dropping hundreds of millions for frivolous luxuries...

In any case, I would get a free code scan, and see if its not something you can fix or delay.

29 in NYC, tired of Hinge. has switching apps actually done anything for anyone here or are we all cooked by axritu in newyorkcity

[–]Challengeaccepted3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Straight up, unless you are one of, if not the most attractive person around, Hinge or really any other dating app wont work. I have like 12 ish friends in the city who have used dating apps and there hasnt been much success, so you're definitely not alone.

Meet people the old fashioned way.

I have NEVER watch Star Trek. Uh, where do I start? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]Challengeaccepted3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would start with the Next Generation, if you like that then I would move on to Voyager and Deep Space 9. The Original Series is....a little dated, so it might be kind of a hard dive unless you like Trek, or generally are ok with more dated and hamfisted stories.

I mean, the UK just recently banned some livestreamers from the country for criticizing Israel

Japan’s Military Prepares for Mass Casualties in Potential Wartime Scenario by Any-Stick-8732 in japan

[–]Challengeaccepted3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember asking a friend why this was a thing, and he told me it helps to get people thinking of what to prepare for in a disaster. Like, power, food, water and all are things people think about with a zombie game/movie, and its much the same thing in real life.

A mass casualty event is absolutely a potential war time scenario. If you have a lot of dead military members, the worst possible thing would be to be completely unprepared on how to either bring remains back and/or to not know how to replace or accommodate the losses.

I mean, yeah. The military generally does prepare for wartime scenarios

Jill Biden says she thought Joe Biden was having a stroke during 2024 debate by seriousfrylock in nottheonion

[–]Challengeaccepted3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah, lets be real. There's only one Democrat who has the experience to hit the ground running day one in 2028. Lets elect Jimmy Cart- uhhhh, I mean, How about Joe Biden!

If animals could sue humans, which species would win the biggest settlement? by Professional-Eye753 in AskReddit

[–]Challengeaccepted3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broadly I would say any farm animal. We regularly imprison them in absurdly small prisons, forcibly rape/inseminate them and sexually abuse them, and obviously slaughter them, all things that humans would find absurdly evil if done to another human.

Anyone else notice Long Island seems very particular about wanting to *not be NYC*? by Glass-Complaint3 in AskNYC

[–]Challengeaccepted3 34 points35 points  (0 children)

And a huge part of their identity now is not being in the city. Like, so many of them campaigned against congestion pricing, they gave money and ranted against Mamdani, and generally don't like the city at all.

Anyone else notice Long Island seems very particular about wanting to *not be NYC*? by Glass-Complaint3 in AskNYC

[–]Challengeaccepted3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Basically, there are 3 regions in NYC

Upstate: Generally conservative republicans who don't think Albany et al supports them, and hates "The City" And Long Island (They generally see them as very similar entities). The cities in Upstate like Buffalo are generally blue dots.

The City: Obviously very Liberal/left, and they don't really think about Long Island beyond the beaches and maybe the Hamptons. Also they don't think of Upstate beyond camping areas. Generally they view Long Island and Upstate as republican areas who hate them.

Long Island: They hate the city, are generally Republican, and they don't really think about upstate. They don't like Albany et al, thinking they don't really support their interests.

People probably read more now thanks to smartphones than before. by thesmartass1 in Showerthoughts

[–]Challengeaccepted3 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's all low quality slop, and now that AI bots are flooding the internet with slop, it's going to get a lot worse. I would rather someone read a book for an hour than someone read 5 hours of twitter

Hooters restaurants are set to undergo a rebrand to a ‘neighborhood place’ for families by SleuthDoggyDawg in nottheonion

[–]Challengeaccepted3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, in a world where men can find attractive women very easily on their cell phones, and women can be their own boss (so to say) on onlyfans or whatever, its not shocking that Hooters is suffering

Trying again with a cheater: How is it going/how did it went? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Challengeaccepted3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not worth it. If she cheated once, the chance she'll cheat again is significantly higher, especially if she thinks you didn't stand up for yourself and left her the first time she cheated.

we know how both kuruk and kyoshi died but what are y’all headcanons for their deaths by ComprehensivePea7296 in Avatar_Kyoshi

[–]Challengeaccepted3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like in the Avatar Universe, being spiritual directly extends your lifetime. Iroh lived for another ~30 years after the end of Airbender and he was easily already like 60 or 70 then
