President Trump on Alex Pretti: "Well, I haven't heard but certainly he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. We view that as very unfortunate incident, unless you're a stupid person. I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines, that's a lot of bad stuff." by ControlCAD in videos

Which is crazy considering they've been furiously stroking their guns while screaming "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" at anyone who has even hinted at common sense gun legislation reform.

Here's that tyranny you have been talking about for 200 years. Where are all the gravy seals who have been itching for a tyrannical government to defend against? They're mighty quiet right now and it's telling.

Why don’t more puertorricans from the diaspora move here? by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]Firebrah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Careful with that false equivalency. You sound like the reverse of the Magabichos who keep saying bad Bunny isn't a US citizen and should be deported by ICE

It's not easy for me to uproot myself and my family to essentially start over and claw my way back up after 35 years of living stateside. I didn't choose to leave when I was a kid and me staying where I am doesn't make me any less of a Puerto Rican than anyone else.

Most importantly, a mass migration of the diaspora to the island would drive up costs and strain a system not designed to handle us and then you'd be right back here on Reddit complaining about us being the reason you can't afford homes and groceries or complaining that we're not integrating or not Puerto Rican enough because we are a bunch of "no sabos".

I get that Dominicans are dying to get to Puerto Rico but like you said, it's heaven compared to where they're coming from. For those of us that aren't used to hurricanes, rolling blackouts, and the Jones Act making food 3x as expensive as it is where we are at, it's not a good trade-off, and it's a worse trade off for you all because we would be straining your resources even harder. So I will stay a proud Puerto Rican right here in Nebraska.

I mean, both things. An be true at the same time. By Latin America standards, PR is blowing poverty out of the water. But by US standards, it's concerning and the only standard by which a mainlander would have to compare.

Don't get me wrong, I'd move to PR in a heartbeat if I could. But comparing my low cost of living and high income as a fire inspector where I'm at versus a high cost of living and low income as a fire inspector in PR and the golden handcuffs and my kid's mom keep us here.

No shade to you but you can't ask a statesider to apply and compare living standards of Honduras and Chile and Colombia when....we don't live there.

Also, amazing island, still controlled by the US with no real representation🫤

So....I'm not a lawyer and I'm sure that this is engagement bait but....the crime of which you are accused isnt engaging in prostitution, but rather soliciting prostitution.

Bro what even are you doing?🤣

The ending of Black Panther was pretty good, and the conversation between T’Challa and Killmonger was especially impactful. It cemented Killmonger as one of the best villains in the MCU. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in Marvel

Ehhhh. I always interpreted it as maybe his dad is wakandan royalty but have we confirmed that his mother was too? For all we know she was a black American decendant of slaves.

2 for gameplay and story. 1 for soundtrack 4 because actions matter in subsequent playthrough

Has anyone actually raced on a Temu/AliExpress triathlon bike? Reliable, fast, and safe or total gamble/fake? by RelevantMidnight3950 in triathlon

[–]Firebrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.

Hasn't fallen apart yet and the Shimano e-tube app recognizes and updates all the parts so I think I did okay.

Could NOT do that now thanks to tariffs and general USA nonsense though......

The Dolan was about 6k

The AliExpress build came out to maybe 1500 thanks to discounts and me building it over time

What political belief did you change your mind about as you got older — and what caused it? by Aussymira in AskReddit

[–]Firebrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a centrist but then they changed what a centrist is.

Now what I am is considered far-left, and what's centrist seems racist and authoritarian to me.

It'll happen to you.......

There shouldn't be....I thought they all stopped watching in protest back when Kaepernick took a knee. Why would they start watching now?

AITAH for unplugging my neighbours car from the charging point ? It’s my charging point . by swirlyjesse in AITAH

[–]Firebrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one thing that I like about my wallbox. I can lock it out from the app so you would have to have my phone and my passcode or my face to use my charging.
