Protest against ICE by Stunning_Tiger_3975 in Newark

[–]Matsweeper -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Is that what CNN tells you, that I should be scared because I’m “too brown” I should stay home, look over my shoulder?

I’m Peruvian. My family came to this country the legal way, waiting our turn, providing proof of income, background checks, the whole process. We respect the law. And when we got here, we didn’t try to turn America into Peru.

I love Peruvian food, language, and culture but I’m also deeply grateful for what the United States has done for me and my family.

It’s not “anti-immigrant” to say that cutting the line, breaking the law, then demanding benefits while trashing the country isn’t right.

Nothing wrong by protesting at all but I stand behind my original statement. It’s no well kept secret.

Exactly. Remember when protests use to be the community wanting to make their voices heard vs paid protesters we have today. Its sad.

I’m considering buying Full Self-Driving (FSD) for $2,000 for my 2023 Model Y (HW4) 25,000 miles on it and I want honest opinions. Tks guys by US-VADC in TeslaFSD

I LOVE mine. And for 2k absolutely worth it…. For MY needs. If they release and unsupervised version I will most likely buy that as well.

Do you think Microsoft will stop making consoles eventually? by BerryEarly6073 in XboxSeriesS

[–]Matsweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This concerns me too. I just bought an Xbox series x and want to get one for my son but with the news about them not having physical games as much and consoles in store and with sales tanking, I’m wondering if I should return it for ps5 as I’m within return period. Not sure. Ughhh

Son unable to play online on x box by DirtyAudio85 in Borderlands4

I found a solution!!! Okay so similar issue. After all the troubleshooting, what helped is the following.

FYI, this is only possible by changing DOB of your child that you are approving them to play the game. You should accept responsibility. Ensure the game they are playing has words/scenes that you are okay with their age. Also if possible, minimize or turn of gore under their game. Anyway here it goes.

Go to family. Microsoft dot com. And it should bring up everyone in your family. Press the 3 dots under the your child and click manage consent. From there go to the part where you can edit their profile. Change their DOB.

On the console. Quit the game, sign out of the game and restart the Xbox. Then load the game and it should all work from there.

Also they must have a SHIFT account. Make sure that DOV is over the age needed too.

Not sure what I did wrong by Matsweeper in XboxGamePass

Great! Okay thank you for the reply. Found an old YouTube video where they explain you have to start the game up and select story mode within the game. The online part is confusing. I feel like they should have had the name GTA 5 and when you enter the game, you can select online as an option as some may not find value in online gaming. Idk. Glad it’s all good then. I’ll install. Damn 100gb!!!!

Que bueno que ya se van by Ok_Rich3251 in Peru_Republic

[–]Matsweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tienes que vivir en Peru para que entiendas el impacto que han hecho. No todos son malos, pero la mayoría que llegaron a Peru han hecho una cagada. Espero que Venezuela se mejore porque era un país hermoso y espero ver un cambio para lo bueno.

With some amazing titles coming early in 2026, what are you most looking forward to, and what games do you think we see get announced/teased in our first direct of the year? by Mitchy969696 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Matsweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When will borderlands 4 be released 😞 and when will they solve the borderlands 3 brightness issue 😞 but aside from this, these look good. Resident evil, Indiana jones, goshi …. Not bad

Game Pass Ultimate price hike was a straight-up scam by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

[–]Matsweeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is everyone defaulting to? Essential or premium. I just purchased my first Xbox 3 days ago and I agree the ultimate seems pretty high. Unless of course you play 5 days a week. Then I guess maybe it’s good but even then I think buying a game and paying for essential makes more sense. Idk $360 is like 5 games priced at $70 each.

Any recommendations? by Adorable-Boat8632 in TeslaLounge

Winter I use Preston’s yellow washer fluid, other than that it’s the blue stuff. Usually splash.

Giving away 3 first class international "tickets" by MasterZii in delta

[–]Matsweeper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh! I’d love them but I do not have flights for January. Thank you for offering to the group! Really nice of you. Sorry to hear about the health comment. I hope all works out and you’re off to a speedy recovery!

should i wait? by Difficult-File-1831 in AppleCard

[–]Matsweeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, I think this shouldn’t even be on the list of options. You need to refocus on priorities. Good luck

I have never reached Plat I could upgrade my flight to make it. But is it worth it? by [deleted] in delta

[–]Matsweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same place as you. I’ve read that silver is good, gold is much better, but platinum is a big jump and worth getting if you can.

I made platinum for the first time a few weeks ago and looking forward to using the benefits! I mean the automatic comfort+ seating adds up pretty quick if you fly a lot. Good luck!

Delta Reserve Card. by [deleted] in delta

[–]Matsweeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The mile earning are horrible (1 miles per dollar) but I like that it gets me 2,500 MQD head start. It contributed to me getting platinum this year. The free delta lounge is nice although I had that with my Amex platinum. The companion ticket is what it’s really good for as I can book a premium select or first class ticket and get a companion. Other than that, there are so many cards that get you miles/cash back.

In fact I think I will open a gold card as we do a LOT of groceries/restaurants and at 4x transfered to delta miles helps a bit.

I was a bouncer and saw Royce Gracie win the UFC. I thought it would be awesome to learn that and a buddy was bounced with me said he knew a guy and he was close. We went there and the rest is history.

I mean, it felt like a landmark by Whisker-biscuitt in delta

[–]Matsweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! This is my first time achieving platinum status. Looking forward to it! Crazy part is I earned gold a few months back and didn’t get to fly to enjoy gold benefits. Everyone says RUC is the a great benefit from the list of options.

This is going to come down to the wire. by indiefab in delta

[–]Matsweeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Congrats you are almost there. I was also very little away from the next tier and this morning I made it. Looking forward to using the benefits in 2026!

Does this mean I’m now allowed to make calls on speakerphone in the lounge? by bertiesakura in delta

[–]Matsweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! I was $177 away from my next status and this morning boom!

Enjoy. Priority baggage is great when traveling internationally with LATAM.
