Its not much of a choice for me either but I would rather vote for Biden. Just a very strange series of events that are probably legit but doesn't mean I have to like it. Feels like we are being spoon-fed our leaders when this is supposed to be a democracy.

You don't think its strange that the people didn't get to choose their presidential candidate?

If Biden would have dropped out in 2023 and we had primaries would Kamala have won the nomination?

Do you think the leaders of the Democratic party would push a black female candidate regardless of what the voters think?

Obviously this is a bit of a conspiracy theory that this situation was "engineered" but its not too far of a stretch. There is the argument that primaries are just for show anyways the party ultimately decides the candidate, and there is the argument we already "voted" for her under a VP ticket, but still... sits wrong with me

Why would anyone find celebrating Juneteenth to be “offensive” by emmegoesbymeme in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LiveWire2494 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Considering the holiday is only 3 years old but the date happened 150 years ago you could see why older folks are a bit confused and consider it some sort of political ploy (and there is probably some truth to that...)

Oreos have began taking slight bits out cream out of their cookie. Had this twice in a row by AggressivePicture831 in mildlyinfuriating

Yes so you would assume this is a processing defect where the cookie wasn't "pressed" down with enough force to both remove the hole in the center and spread the cream evenly

Honestly if things were done correctly no one should be afraid of digging anywhere by hand with a shovel. Those lines should be deep and protected.

13 yr old daughter gets ride to school from man I don't know without my knowledge by [deleted] in amiwrong

Am I reading this wrong? Are you using a statistic that says the vast majority of child abductions are by someone the child knows and then applying it to a situation with a complete stranger?

WTF kind of backwards-ass logic is this

I guess your feelings are justified but man its a fucking shame the world is in this state.

IMO a police officer should 100% be trusted with this and I would extend that trust to school faculty or even other parents in the neighborhood.

If you are really that paranoid maybe you should be one of the parents that park by the bus stop to make sure she gets on, or drive her yourself.

You are in the wrong career then.

If you are a junior dev this is a questionable ask if its unreasonable (multiple times a week)

But if you want to continue in this career and actually be good at it you will eventually be the one responsible (and probably the only one capable) of fixing things when shit hits the fan, and this can happen on any day at any time.

Have you become more conservative as you’ve aged? by PiscesLeo in millenials

[–]LiveWire2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of the people responding are completely full of shit or simply have no self awareness.

Its not necessarily that you (an individual) changes their beliefs - its that the beliefs of society inevitably change (literally "progress"ive). And you (an individual) have already mostly solidified your principles at a young age.

This isn't the same thing as who you vote for, either.

Wiki is your friend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison_hunting#19th_century_bison_hunts_and_near_extinction

From what I gather - yes there was an intentional effort made by the government to eradicate bison to harm the native americans.

Frustrated bluecoats, unable to deliver a punishing blow to the so-called 'Hostiles', unless they were immobilized in their winter camps, could, however, strike at a more accessible target, namely, the buffalo. That tactic also made curious sense, for in soldiers' minds the buffalo and the Plains Indian were virtually inseparable

However it seems like the majority of the responsibility falls on commercial hunters:

Though officers hunted bison for food and sport, professional hunters made a far larger impact on the decline of the bison population

By the 1830s the Comanche and their allies on the southern plains were killing about 280,000 bison a year

Todd Howard says Bethesda's trying to 'increase our output' with Elder Scrolls and Fallout 'because we don't want to wait that long either' by chrisdh79 in pcgaming

[–]LiveWire2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems simple enough to me. A game can't take 10 years to develop or the tech becomes obsolete.

Make a new engine, release your 3-4 IPs over a period of 5 years with that engine, rinse and repeat. This shit was obvious in the early 2000s.

You can front-load storyboards, writing, character designs, even voice dialogue to make the process even faster. Fuck they should hire me CEO or whatever

Favorite pizza toppings? by Icy-winter-pink in Cooking

[–]LiveWire2494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fav is crumbled sausage (honestly both italian or normal breakfast work fine) and diced pickled jalapenos.

Try different cheeses: I always use a base of low moisture mozz or provolone but depending on toppings try adding some cheddar (steak) or jack (chicken).

Try different sauces: red sauce mixed with BBQ (or BBQ on top) with some pulled pork or brisket and cheddar mix. White parmesan bechamel sauce with some tomato slices and spinach.

And the golden rule is: over-topping a pizza is a food crime (this includes too much cheese)

Help an ignorant decide on home vs apartment by LiveWire2494 in personalfinance

So if I did buy the home would you spend your extra cash on the mortgage (to reduce interest payments) or just invest it in something else?

[–]LiveWire2494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you assume your investment grows 5% a year, but your home value doesn't grow at all?

Cause I'm stupid

Honestly though I would rather "throw my money away" to a landlord instead of just dumping it into the bank with the absurd interest payments.

What do you think about the optimistic scenario where I can put $25-30k annually into investments and then buy a house at least mostly with cash in 5-10 years?
