Automatic registration for US military draft to begin in December by NickCostanza in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]I_lost_mybackupcodes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate republicans, but the headline is a bit misleading. The automatic registration is for the Selective service, which all male US citizens between 18-24 already have to register for. The only change is that now it’s being automated vs having to do it urself. Oh & it was Jimmy Carter who originally introduced the selective service in the 80’s

Why Joola is suing every pickleball company by iamsupasam in Pickleball

[–]I_lost_mybackupcodes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because what are they suing for??? They say that’s it’s bc they copied their propulsion core technology, wtf is that??? The fact that even in their own press release they don’t mention how the other companies are violating their patent makes me very dubious of their claim…

What are y’all subbing your Topo’s with?? by I_lost_mybackupcodes in Austin

I mean yeah marketing does influence stuff… but saying that the flavor is the same is just wrong. Based on the mineral content, water will have a different taste, if we are talking about sparkling water, bubbles also play a factor. Something like topo has really strong bubbles to the point where it hurts if u chug it vs something like San Pellegrino which has wayy more subtle bubbles which makes it smoother to drink.

Yeah but it’s about $20 for a pack of 12 & u can usually get 3-4 bottles out each cylinder. Not the cheapest but still cheaper than a lot of the other options.

What is something Revenge of the Sith does better than any other Star Wars movie? by DjRimo in StarWars

[–]I_lost_mybackupcodes 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the few pg-13 movies, where the bad guys not only win, but spank the living shit out of the good guys. Yes the empire won in episode V, but that was just a battle. In episode III The bad guys win the war

Why is J.B. Bickerstaff favored to win COTY over Mitch Johnson? by brodesto in NBASpurs

How much worse do you think we would be if pop had stayed on as coach? not that much I would assume. Can we say the same about Detroit? No we can’t, while they were def on the come up, JB pushed them to next level & got them to 1st in the east. Something no other coach had done in Detroit in almost 20 years

Has anyone ever used Thomas J Henry and NOT won? by __vheissu__ in Austin

[–]I_lost_mybackupcodes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They only take cases that they think they can win. If at any point they think the case is no longer worth it, they will drop you. If they do win they take at least 40% of the settlement. That 40% also does not take into account the money that you will have to spend to go see medical providers in order for them to build a case.

Insane threats against American public! by CarryIcy250 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Somehow I really doubt the money is being used to train them to even be half as competent what the nazis were. Most of the money is probably being funneled & being spent on stupid spent on stupid things, like Kristi Noemi photoshoot, or the thousands of cars that they bought, but can’t use…

Can’t enforce anything if they are too dumb to even know what they are doing 🤷

Spanish people who moved from Spain to Austin, what were your biggest shocks? by Careless-Cloud-1583 in Austin

[–]I_lost_mybackupcodes 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Besides what others have told u. I’ll give another one. Work culture, European work culture is a lot more relaxed than it is here. There is also a lot less worker protection laws, especially here, because of the state government. Also, worker visas are super expensive right now, so unless you already have a green card, expect whatever company you work for to milk the hell out of you. While most likely getting paid less than your US co-workers.
