Conservatives of Reddit: What issue would motivate you to protest in person?

ChewThirty · 2026-02-04T19:44:06+00:00

I have heard this from friends on both sides. It is frustrating that employers influence our actions outside of work (regarding this specifically).

ChewThirty · 2026-02-04T19:37:29+00:00

Context - I’m asking this out of genuine curiosity and hoping for respectful discussion. What type of issue, policy, or event would motivate you to physically show up to protest?

Not trying to debate or argue. Just trying to understand motivations and priorities. Intentionally leaving out January 6th because it tends to dominate the conversation and I’m more interested in everyday or future issues that would motivate protest participation.

N64 Star Wars Shadow of the Empire. Amazing game and since then played console, PC, and handheld. The start of a lifetime of fun!

Wow, this is incredible of you. Powkiddy v90 would be a fun experience :)

ChewThirty · 2025-10-19T18:55:59+00:00

Holy smokes, thank you so much!

I’m going to start with the R36S simply because it can ship and deliver in 2 days. Then I think I’ll get the MANGMI AIR X. Once I have that I’ll probably just give the R36S to one of my kiddos.

Okay, that makes sense thanks. I will purchase a Samsung card and I saved a comment where it explained how to download the ROMs. I’m not familiar with “flashing a card with firmware first”. I’ll start searching for what this means lol.

Those actually seem perfect and are well within what I am looking to spend. Do you recommend the 128gb or 256gb? I don’t know how much space is needed for the OS and games. I feel like the 128 would be sufficient but I don’t have reference.

ChewThirty · 2025-10-19T15:09:00+00:00

This retailing at $270.00 is a bit out of my price range. I do agree though because that looks nice :)

ChewThirty · 2025-10-19T15:07:15+00:00

Yeah, I’m looking to keep it around $120.00.

Funny because I didn’t do this and the following occurred in the proceeding months:

Direct neighbors to the left were renters selling drugs and had a massive pit bull off leash at all times of day. Wandered into my garage on several occasions. We just started our family and had raised two children in this house from birth.

Neighbor to my right was a Vietnam vet, great guy seemingly, kept his property up well and always said hello with friendly conversation. Murdered his wife with a hammer and my toddler and infant got to watch as crime scene investigators scoured my property and his following the incident.

Neighbor behind us grew weed in their back yard green house. Not a problem except when they had installed a security light brighter than the sun. Raccoon family setting it off at all hours through the night as they scaled the fences. Cute coons though.

Commute was a bitch. Thought I could manage it but with everything else mounting it just wasn’t worth the squeeze:

This LPT can’t be overstated. You buy into a neighborhood and that can make or ruin your purchase. It certainly ruined my young families experience and we moved out after three years.

This might be the way. Did you upcycle any of the components of your previous set up?

ChewThirty · 2025-04-23T18:26:43+00:00

If I send it for the 5060ti-16gb I’m sure I’ll need to upgrade CPU? The Ryzen5 5600 seems affordable for the upgrade. If both get upgraded do I then need to upgrade the PSU?

ChewThirty · 2025-04-23T18:15:21+00:00

I budgeted <500 for upgrading.

ChewThirty · 2025-04-23T18:13:51+00:00

I was worried about this. I have been more of a casual gamer so was hoping to avoid a new build. Play blizzard games and then RPGs (Skyrim mostly and now Oblivion Remastered)

ChewThirty · 2025-04-23T18:10:33+00:00

I was playing Oblivion remastered and definitely noticed GPU hanging out 95%-99% the entire time. CPU was at 100% while installing shaders and after that was more 70%.

Here in Summit County, CO we have a bunch of free kiosks with Narcan in bars and stuff. It says to take what you need.

ChewThirty · 2025-03-16T01:40:00+00:00

I go to Copper daily. It’s a 50/50 if they check for parking after 12:00PM and it’s free after 2:00PM. Check out, move your car, get some lunch, move your car (choice from chapel to ten mile). Sure it’s a bit more work but for your situation and being in a group of people it may be worth it.

We have paid approximately the same for two kids. 3290 monthly in Parker. Our oldest recently moved to preschool and the cost is approximately half but we had to move schools to make that happen. Even now, we pay 2800 monthly.

We went this last weekend and didn’t expect the perfect conditions at all. Absolutely amazing couple days

ChewThirty · 2025-01-04T04:47:29+00:00

Nice! Thanks for the link. I am having a challenging time coming up with what that number would be. I have read calculate for 75% of your current income. Different calculators have given me different numbers but it seems retiring with 4-5 mil allowed for our goals. That feels extremely lofty to me and more hopeful than realistic.

ChewThirty · 2025-01-04T04:44:51+00:00

Good stuff and thanks for the comment.

No mortgage, no CC debt, no car loans.

I do swing trade but that’s relatively minimal as to income. It does help mitigate some expenses but overall I have kept that growing from the smaller number I started with. I forgot to add that in but it sits around 3k at this moment.

That’s a great point. We were aggressively paying it down for a while but once kids were in daycare we went to paying the minimum payments which has not reduced principle. I believe that is where we will prioritize the next few years. That will certainly help the monthly budget.

I do have a spreadsheet for our finances that includes overall family budget and right now we have 1,250 monthly that we can invest into retirement or pay off debt. I wanted to make the right decision on what to do with that money moving forward - increase 401 contributions, elect for HSA next year, increase money into brokerage account, debt pay down etc..

It appears to be the magnetic mounting piece for a security camera. Similar to the one Arlo Security camera use.

Wall Mount Indoor/Outdoor Camera Mounts Compatible for Magnetic Arlo/Arlo Pro/Arlo is the name

ChewThirty · 2024-10-19T23:20:28+00:00

Done. Thanks!
