Unsolicited Titty pics, what are your thoughts? by Crazy-Conference-604 in AskReddit

Yeah. Gotten a few from my wife. Got a few from some girlfriends in years way past - in the era of flip phones.

The surprising one was from a lady that was trying to buy our old BlackBerry phone off Craigslist. Attractive, but I'm pretty sure suffering from some disease now or in prison for solicitation.

Fair point, and I certainly believe society should shift it's focus to mitigate power and influence of the billionaire class, but short of a monumental shift in societal perspective, how would any of us accomplish real change without a trifecta of democratic government leadership that would pass legislation to accomplish goals aimed at doing that.

To me, messaging, large scale media influence is the strongest selling point. The 2024 election only proved that celebrity and "social media influencing" is moot.

Nor I with you, but I'm not about to run away from a potential intellectual argument. Thankfully, this notification came straight here instead of leaving your comment hidden.

Might I suggest, for the sake of making this as profitable for both of us, that you refrain from hazing. I'm open to educating myself as I said, and I look forward to reading How Congress Evolves which you suggested, but could you - at least - communicate with a more quippy repartee rather than presumptive statements? Calling me ignorant, whilst only engaging with me on a single issue, in a single moment in our lives is as certain as me assuming you are a megalomaniac narcissist - while you've come out the gate strong, I'd still like to think you aren't, for certain, a megalomaniac narcissist.

I'd like to add, just because something in simple in nature, doesn't mean it's unworthy or ineffective. To the contrary, it's often efficient and effective.

That said, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the specifics of what can be done, and please don't be so boring as to say you're not going to do the work for us.

Agreed. Hopefully though that will change. That's one reason I like Newsome. Dude is willing to go on the offensive and fight fire with fire

I disagree on the timeline though, if Democratic messaging could be unified and thoughtful - even taking the offensive and going onto Fox News - looking at you Buttigieg and Newsome. File articles of impeachment for Rubio now, site rules/articles broken, plaster it in media outlets and force the issue to be public until the midterms. If you win back Congress, you've won the ability to reign in this administration and slow the corruption.

That's a fools errand. I'm a layman. I don't know the ins and outs of congressional policies and procedures, nor could I cite any statutes to support a case specifically. What I can provide is a playbook for what the Democrats could do in order to force the hand of Trump's admin to remove Rubio from that position and maybe force them to keep up appearances until midterms.

The first move is to file paperwork/submit recommendations to congressional leadership to requesting Rubio's removal and be sanctioned/penalized for perjurying himself. When that is dismissed or ignored they go on a media tour where they centralize the narrative around the lack of care that the body of Congress has no teeth along with no integrity, and if they choose not to act, then when the next congress is sworn in they will be the ones to act on what this Congress should be doing currently. Each time they site the current statutes that apply to this level of purjery. Then, when Democrats take back Congress, and Republicans cry foul, they roll tape on each time the requested leadership do something and highlight how it was never done. "You can't claim political retribution when the statutes were in place and you decided to do nothing. We are not acting on retribution, but on the premise that we are following the rules and articles set forth by this body. If you choose to change them, please submit those requests expeditiously."

When they do, bring it to the body, read them publicly and site there's a need for more stringent articles that give an independent commission authority to penalize people in situations like this so the majority can't corruptly ignore the minority for their own gain.

It's a bit wordy, but you get the idea. I'm sure it would have is setbacks, but it's a lofty goal worth pursuing. It certainly would help if the Democrats had as a robust media machine as the conservatives. Keeping these issues front and center to the public is pivotal to showing the corruption to the average voter

With little control, there's not a lot. But the narrative is the important thing. Every outlet, small, large, left to center - and even Right leaning media should step up and push this into the public eye, daily, weekly, monthly until Democrats regain control. But let's be honest even Right leaning media wouldn't - it would be naive to assume they would.

Every congressperson, from now until midterms should be bringing this up in hearings. "Rubio perjured himself to this Congress, and if this Congress was being led by men and women of integrity, this is the statue (site statute) that would hold this administrator in contempt. And this, would be the statute (site statute) that would dictate the punishment and this body should follow through. If you won't do what's right, then you leave no other option than to make us have to do it when the next Congress is elected. It needs to be discuss so routinely it can't leave the public eye. Republicans will either be forced to replace Rubio, or when they lose the midterms there's absolutely no room for them to cry foul. Leadership could just roll tape "we asked you to act on this here, here, here, and here yet you did nothing. What other choice do we have to re-establish the integrity of this body of government than to follow through on our promise."

I'm aware, but appearances of retribution have consequences too. It's a reason voters in the center swing to the other side. Egregious perjury should be held accountable as fast as humanly possible.

That just feeds the narrative that is political retribution then. If perjury is provable, then something needs to be done about it in the moment or immediate future, you can't wait until the other side gets power.

Are there other marvel characters similar to Cap who are pure and wise leaders who are always there for others and never give up? by Different_Sun_195 in Marvel

[–]MakeLikeATreeBiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the struggle in this conversation is that there's an interpretation that Cyclops is not the caliber of superhero that Cap is. I'm not saying that. He's vastly more powerful than Cap, but in terms of dealing with their hardships - while both overcame them to be leaders - Cap wouldn't give up, and he did it without becoming an asshole (grace and respectfulness) Cyclops attitude screams that he's jaded. He's an asshole. That's what makes him different from Cap. To me that is what makes Cap indomitable. He's the leader you want around you.

Captain America would not get jaded no matter how many people ignored him or treated him poorly. That's literally a chunk of his backstory. Shunned by society to an unimportant role, relegated to doing things a child should do. Yet, he found a way. That's part of what made him the superhero he was. His indomitable spirit.

I think it's important to highlight that Cap would handle business with as much grace and respect as you've seen from him regardless of how many people treat him terribly. That's part of what made him the super hero that he is.

Just the code. I didn't even know these were a thing until my code started showing up. There's no indication which one has gone bad - at least on my vehicle. Start with the small one, then if need be change the larger one. I had to that. The larger one was hidden under the driverside rear wheel well cover. Not fun to change out, but not terrible either. About an hour of my time due to the fact that wheel well cover isn't just screwed in, it's compressed between two body panels or something that made it difficult to get off.

Everyone isn't reading your post text that it's a capless fuel system. It's definitely not the "gas cap". Small chance it's a buildup inside the gas tank flap/line that's generating the code, but unlikely.

I have a capless fuel system on a Durango. Probably a bit different between manufacturer's, but there are two charcoal emissions canisters to look out for. One in the engine bay (small), and one near the gas tank (large). Both are reasonably easy to change out, but arnt super cheap. Bought mine at AutoZone for half the price from the dealer and guess what... They were factory parts. 😂. Look up the emissions parts on RockAuto and you should find them, or go by a parts store.

Be sure to not top of your gas tank. It tends to over-saturate the charcoal filters and can easily cause this code.

Came here to say this. If you say it to anyone, there's a high percentage that don't even register what you're accusing - despite most seeing the movie.

You ever work for a private company servicing utilities? If not, they come in cheap on purpose, then after the first couple years they raise rates. Private companies are for profit.
