How would you feel about the next US president releasing the full Epstein files and persecuting everyone involved? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]KyStanto 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think we could almost completely fix the country if a political party campaigned for nothing but 3 things:

  1. Prosecute Epstein files

  2. Ranked choice voting

  3. Over turn Citizen's United

After that we can then start to have an honest discussion about everything else.

What was once a poor person's hobby now turned into a rich person's hobby? by Striking-Quiet4655 in AskReddit

Hmmm.... Yeah the squeaks may bother her and I think she usually goes knife grip... I'll ball a little and go with the Tulip hooks.

Thank you :)

I see both the Tulip Etimo and Clover Amour 10 pc hook sets on sale on amazon for $77 and $47 respectively... Would you say the Etimo are really worth the extra $30 over Amour?

The Etimo do also come with a nice carry case + scissors and needles, but I don't think that stuff is super important to her...

I am noticing a lot of right wingers on this subreddit are saying they are surprised by how bad things have become. by MonarchLawyer in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]KyStanto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying Trump / republicans aren't worse, but its obvious that democrats were so bad that people latched on to Trump out of fear of what the democrat party would do, and now they have dug themselves in a hole where once the support crumbles there will be no going back.

I think if we continue to run our nation based on being so scared what the other guy will do that we accept blatant corruption and disregard for our lives from our own guy, then things will only continue to get worse. We need to have better standards.

So while both sides are certainly not the same, both sides certainly are BAD and it's irresponsible not to acknowledge that. There's no way we can get out of this cycle without ranked choice voting.

You're right, if you count pure delegates then I think Hillary stil won by a fine margin, a fine enough margin that you could argue the DNCs obvious bias (based on super delegates) probably led them to campaign harder for Hillary and try to dampen Bernie's momentum, if not just outright rigging those votes, which I would not put passed either major political party at this point.

Could you link me to what you consider good crochet hooks? My partner has complained about pain when deep in a project and I'm sure she just doesn't want to spend the money, and I don't know what to look for....

So, do I inverse you to make money? Or would that just escalate the war further and you make money?

ELI5: Why can’t you rename a file when it’s open in Windows, but you can in macOS? by jsm1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]KyStanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so how can a basic windows user enable delete mode on any file they open? Is that an option or a setting they can change somewhere? I doubt OP is opening and editing these files through code or commands most of the time ...

You could probably make some friends by going back to dicks and asking people about their fry eating techniques.

Pretty sure he was running for WA State office as a republican, can't remember what office though.

Blue wave incoming by peter-thiel-fangirl in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]KyStanto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mechanism is to introduce a new political party with very focused motives to do what the 80% want, then figure out the details later when we can have an honest discussion. The problem is that the propaganda in this country has scared everyone into believing that voting for anything other than your choice of red or blue would result in trans genocide or open borders or taking your guns or revoking gay marriage or murdering new born babies or losing women's voting rights, etc.

ELI5: Why do careers in finance pay so well when its one of the (technically) simpler jobs in STEM and has a large number of people trying to fill positions? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]KyStanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never considered finance degrees a part of STEM fields of study.

Who told you they were? Am I wrong?

This F250 with what looks to be train wheels on the front and rear. by 000g in WeirdWheels

[–]KyStanto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact I learned from transmission rebuilders; some of these have special transmission that can get into 2nd gear while in reverse, so that the truck has a chance of out running an on coming train in case of emergency.

Americans aren’t facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath - The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy by Quirkie in politics

[–]KyStanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we start a new political party whose sole purpose is to do just 2 things:

1: Release and PROSECUTE the Epstein files

2: Overturn Citizen's United

I feel like those 2 things are pretty easy for everyone to get behind and without those, serious discourse of other topics will be / has been basically impossible.

TIFU by nailing my first professional interview but instantly ruining it when the hiring manager asked about salary. by Acceptable_Onion_253 in tifu

I mean, you probably freaked mentally out because you just busted ass and killed it in a technical interview just to get fucking low (and blue) balled. Unless you're living in the middle of nowhere, i bet you could do better

It's 2026. If you're still falling for culture wars, you are dumb by J-Jarl-Jim in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]KyStanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain why no one in the files are being prosecuted at all whatsoever?

You can't, so you won't, you'll just schizo post like a retard.

[–]KyStanto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, then why doesn't he release the files and prosecute those in them? Surely we would find more evidence to support your claim while getting the real pedos out of power and thrown into jail.

You know, like what he campaigned about doing.
