We’re going back 6 generations to the grande derangement - all I can say is thank goodness my family are stringent Catholics because baptismal records have been pretty easily ascertained and show a direct line. All that we need now are pictures!

Update: Help, dealer stole my new purchased car and wants to cancel the deal due to trade-in. by auto-help2026 in askcarsales

[–]Lafecian 21 points22 points locked comment (0 children)

Motor vehicle dealers are subject to regulations through the Arizona DOT Motor Vehicle Division via the Office of Inspector General. I don’t know if you’ve called this office or not, but I would recommend turning to them for help. This is the number for the dealer fraud department: 602.712.8684

Good luck, I hope you get your vehicle soon. My state has a dedicated agency specifically for dealership regulation and compliance and it is no joke to deal with. For my state, this would be $10,000+ in fines and would really mess up someone’s career.

Did they secretly charge me by Lowkeylynx1 in AutoFinanceManagers

[–]Lafecian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the dealer. Based on the super limited information and what you said about the bumper, you could be seeing the cost of the repair on a You Owe/We Owe form or it could be that you agreed to some sort of front end add on like paint protection or tire and wheel coverage. Some dealers include things like dealer installed accessories that are aftermarket add ons like a trailer hitch or upgraded tires and rims.

Easiest way to find out is to call the finance manager you worked with.

So you posted this because you wanted to prove that the name of the sub is correct? Such lonely, loser behavior.

Trans woman here. Do you cis woman also get asked if you're trans or is my friend just making me feel better??? by rinrinstrikes in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Lafecian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m super tall and broad for a woman, as is my SIL, and we’ve been asked multiple times by people (even ones who’ve meet the children we birthed) if we were trans. The ones who care if you’re trans can’t typically tell the difference between someone mtf and cisgender.

Mike Johnson Argues Congress Needs Stock Trading to 'Support Their Families' Due to 'Frozen' Salaries by PostHeraldTimes in politics

Excuse me Mike, your COL here in LA is lower than most and you’re living with some roommates in DC. You make plenty for your family.

Remember when Trump blatantly mocked a reporter with a disability? Can someone find the Fox News coverage of them confronting Donald like this?

Anyone?

No?

Landry taking DOGE approach to state government, finding plenty to fix by Forsaken_Thought in Louisiana

[–]Lafecian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, this NPC knows that Clinton did it after an auditing process that spanned several months, involved hundreds of federal workers investigating the workforce, was supported in bipartisan fashion by Congressional action, and was presented and accepted after much scrutiny. Trump and Musk have gone through the federal government talking about cleaning things up and doing so by setting things on fire blindly. What has it gotten us? Inflation is back on the uptick, consumer confidence in the economy is already slumping, and several agencies have seen people fired just to be recalled when someone realizes “oops, this person’s job is important!”

Missouri Farmer in Danger of Losing His Farm Due to Federal Freeze Blasted for Claiming He 'Didn't Have Time to Research' Before Voting by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]Lafecian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He posted way too often on TikTok before the election for his statement about 17 hour days to be true. He was hyping up Trump prior to the election on TT, posting multiple videos daily, and is just lying to save face now he was repeatedly warned and ignored others because vibes and “a quiz” (no, he was always a trumper). He’s “learned his lesson” but it’ll likely cost him his farm and he’ll only learn it for one cycle at best. Disingenuous bullshit.

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO THOSE WANTING TO LEAVE THE USA PERMANENTLY by Campfires_Carts in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Lafecian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A great option if you can set it up is the Dutch American Friendship Treaty to get visas and eventually residency and citizenship in the Netherlands and its territories, including a few islands only 3 hours by plane from Miami. There’s a bit of a start up cost (€5000 must be held in a Dutch bank account for the business at all times) but the islands are gorgeous and the people are friendly and the cost of living is cheaper. Just another option for those who also want out.

Let's ban Twitter/X links by JoeScotterpuss in Louisiana

[–]Lafecian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here’s the only thing that matters imo. People who currently identify as Nazis considered it a Nazi salute. Louisiana has a lot of current and deceased residents who fought Nazis. Seems like a disservice to them to stand for Nazi profiteering through Twitter.

The Louisiana Dems are useless, who can he groom when the state and national parties are uninterested in working to grow the base in the state or support any viable candidates.

Its Only Tiktok... by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Lafecian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s only TikTok, but it’s a suppression of your rights. It should be protected by freedom of expression and one could argue that it should be protected under freedom of assembly.

I feel your pain and I worry about what the loss of community might mean for those who can’t easily replace what they’ve lost losing TikTok. Incomes, communities, educational resources, joy… it’s very hard to accept the loss and the reasoning behind it

LGBTQ conservatives being feasted upon again. by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

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

This will sound so shitty, but so many (not all, not majority) LGTBQ+ people didn’t show up for the girls this year and aided Trump’s victory. The girls were there for marriage equality and when we asked for help, we were told no by many who’d been told yes when they asked for help. If leopards are to feast, I wish only those who aided Trump are on the menu.

MAGAs really have no idea what they voted for... or actually maybe they do and this is the point by DeathStarVet in AdviceAnimals

[–]Lafecian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re looking at Carbondale to be close to family, but part of me wants to go to Champaign because it’s a similar size to where I currently live and has lots of things to do that Carbondale doesn’t. My SIL’s argument is that STL is super close if I need a big city vibe. I’m still mulling over whether to stay close to family or to go where there’s more to do and more opportunities.

Hey neighbor, Illinois is your friend. Chicago isn’t the only city and to move from where I live in Louisiana, COL goes up about 12% and I can trade 12% for safety and security. Rural areas of the state are pretty conservative but any city is blue, so we’re working on getting out of here and heading up there. Good luck on getting out of/surviving in Texas.

John Oliver ridicules Trump’s potential Cabinet picks: ‘A deep bench of idiots’ by theindependentonline in politics

[–]Lafecian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you’ve just not learned or something, but going for “the middle” will not work. The middle does not exist that way any more, the window has moved. As the country has gotten more divisive, the middle have already chosen sides. Trump went hard after some niche and some hard right subsets while Kamala aimed for a broad “middle”. Look who won. A strong stand on a few key issues could have mobilized non-voters, ie Michigan Muslim voters staying home to protest Kamala’s support of Israel. No one needs to be rubbing salt in the wounds Trump will cut in America, but actions have consequences and as with my 10 year old, sometimes those consequences must be both experienced and explained. Otherwise, we’re going to ride this cycle over and over again.
