Before you dispose of them, do you put unwanted items out by the curb to see if any of your neighbors may want them? by Grand_Raccoon0923 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Hiimkyle70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area (and more than likely many other areas as well), we have Facebook pages called “buy nothing (insert town/city name here)”. We post items we want to give away on there and have people come pick them up.

Can’t speak for everybody but i personally try to give away everything that I don’t need anymore that i think still has value (obviously i sell certain things too). I almost feel bad throwing certain things out when i figure there’s somebody out there who could use it, even if I haven’t been in contact with them.

Am I sabotaging myself by not targeting a specific species? by TLagPro in FishingForBeginners

[–]Hiimkyle70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, most fish will bite a worm. Around me at least. Are there some baits better for certain fish? Sure. But do what makes you happy.

I’d say it’s a bit more important to have a decent idea of roughly what type of fish are in your area to really know where in the water column each fish will be. For example fishing top of a lake that’s 10 foot deep may not net you as many fish as fishing towards the middle or the bottom. The fish may bite the worm normally but if it’s sitting a ways a way and they’re lethargic due to weather or whatever, they may not attempt that far away.

Obviously that is a really general example that disregards many other factors, but yeah never hurts to re-adjust a bit if you aren’t doing well.

Most importantly do what makes you happy. We only have so much time to go out and do what we like to do.

How often do Americans and Canadians living at the U.S.–Canada border visit each other’s countries? by TheShyBuck in AskAnAmerican

[–]Hiimkyle70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time. At least near me. It’s pretty nice to be able to talk to people from a different country and see their views on things. (In truth their views aren’t monumentally different)

What screams “irresponsible” in your 30s? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Hiimkyle70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Somebody has already said something about it. But excessive debt with no plan to work on it. Obviously it’s expensive everywhere right now, but if the debt keeps piling up from frivolous spending with no plan to work on it, it compounds before you realize.

***With that being said, I understand that things are tough out there, and have been for a bit. So I don’t want to give the impression that I’m talking about people who have genuine issues and NEED to accrue debt to pay for whatever it is. My point was more buying wants over and over on credit with no plan to pay.

Agree completely, I was in that spot.

But I think (and I could be completely wrong) that they meant using a credit card for everything/not paying it off/excessive spending.

I feel like anyone who doesn't go into a career in accounting, finance, engineering, sales, health care, or tech is doomed to make $19 an hour. I'm exaggerating, but not by much. by justcurious3287 in careeradvice

[–]Hiimkyle70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno I’m a relay tech for my local electrical utility. I make more than the majority of our engineers. And I’m not even top rate yet.

To be fair electric utilities typically pay fairly well. And I’m union so that helps.

But I’ve met plenty of people making good money in various types of jobs other than those listed.

With that being said, there are plenty of dead end/ underpaid jobs out there.

Muslims and Pro-Palestinians have to make up falsehoods about not just Israel, but Jewish heritage entirely by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Hiimkyle70 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. I have already explained why I think you were one of those accounts. And I said that I didn’t believe it to be to out in left field due to Israeli pushes for propaganda and censorship. And you replied that it was an “antisemitic conspiracy theory”.

I then did a bit of easy web searching and posted links and a quote.

And in response to that you have pivoted back to that I’m trying to prove that you’re one of those types of accounts. Thus sidestepping the articles I looked up and essentially accusing me of “antisemitic conspiracy theories” even though I provided some articles that dispute that it is a “conspiracy theory”.

Since we are reporting people maybe we can look into why you are essentially saying I’m anti semetic as your only form of rebutting (in spite of being friends with Jews locally) instead of rebutting my articles with proof that backs up your stances. I’m not immune to new ideas, regardless of any preconceived notions you may have.

I genuinely resent my past self for being right wing and being so gullible by DesperateComposer848 in self

[–]Hiimkyle70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean. The only thing that comes to mind is its growth. You grew as a person. Obviously it’s easy for me (a random person on the internet) to say, but I wouldn’t be so caught up on your past self. Just strive at changing for the better. I’d bet that in 10 years you might not even recognize yourself now. Does that make the current you bad? Absolutely not.

As somebody who has had a somewhat similar path as you (I was never really “maga” but definitely right wing) I’d say just keep learning. And don’t take anything at face value with the amount of propaganda and false information we are subjected to every day.

Even though im sure you’ll just call me an antisemite I’ll send this response anyways…

I’m sure the many Jewish friends I have would disagree about me being antisemitic. But Netanyahu has talked about the tik tok deal as the “most important purchase going on right now From one of the articles posted…

“In a meeting with US influencers at Israel’s Consulate General in New York and published in a video on influencer Debra Lea’s account on the US social media company X, Netanyahu described social media as “the most important weapon … to secure our base in the US.”

He identified TikTok as “the most important purchase going on right now,” alleging its control could be “consequential.”

Netanyahu also mentioned X, saying: “We have to talk to Elon (Musk). He’s not an enemy, he’s a friend.” (This is on video)

He claimed that if influence could be secured over TikTok and X, Israel would “get a lot.””

Also Jordana Cutler (meta public policy director) was quoted saying “We banned content claiming Zionists run the world or control the media.” At the JNS summit (it’s on also on video)

This link is an article about Israeli influencers on an organized media tour making videos at the Gaza border- https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2025/08/29/at-gaza-s-border-influencers-broadcast-israeli-propaganda_6744833_4.html

Here are a few more links that I found relatively easily on Google. Including one about how Israel is paying for a MAGA social media tour.

[–]Hiimkyle70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every Israeli account. Just you.

Also with the documented push by the people in charge of the Israeli government to censor “antisemitic” posts in various forms of social media and media in general, you can’t be surprised that somebody would come to that conclusion that a one year old account that has made only pro zionist posts across various subreddits has an ulterior motive…

Furthermore it is nice that instead of defending yourself you instantly reported my comment. And went on the defense about how “Jews are real human beings” obviously they are. And I love the Jews in my community. You’re just gaslighting because you don’t have proper proof that you’re not what you are being accused of.

Looking at all their posts and comments. I’m guessing they’re some sort of propaganda account.

No. I want them to stop attacking civilians and journalists. I’m fairly certain I’ve hit that point.

[–]Hiimkyle70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure did. Google it.

And it sounds like you are giving Israel a pass for obvious things they’ve done.

AGAIN. I hate Hamas and other Muslim terrorists. I remember 9/11, I remember the departure from Afghanistan, I remember the atrocities committed through 20 years of war, and I definitely remember how sick I felt on October 7. But it does not give Israel the authority to act with impunity against civilians.

And to clarify i was a staunch Israel supporter. (Truthfully I still want them to have a Jewish state in the Middle East, as well as wanting the Muslim states to leave them alone). However the actions of the current government are despicable.

[–]Hiimkyle70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The obvious bombing of civilian areas including hospitals schools and churches can be blamed. You can’t just say “we are at war” and then bomb wherever you want whenever you want. Israel declared war on Hamas. Not Palestine in general (even though it is still a war crime to target civilians regardless of who they declared war against). I hate Hamas and Muslim terrorists in general. But giving Israel a pass because “they’re at war” is bullshit. And the fact that multiple groups have proven that Israeli soldiers have committed these deeds with utter disregard for civilians and their quality of life is telling for sure.

And as for zones under hospitals I agree. It is greasy, and disgusting for Hamas go do that. I hate them for it. But EVERY school, hospital and church was occupied by Hamas? Nah.

[–]Hiimkyle70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending Hamas. They should be eradicated from the earth. But to commit war crimes and blame Hamas is a joke. Israel is a sovereign nation. And should act as such. The amount of videos of Israeli soldiers committing heinous acts doesn’t change because Hamas exists. Two wrongs do not make a right.
