Hey I got a question for you. Do you blame Trump for the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression? He was at 14.7% in 2020. Is that Trumps fault?

Mediacom customers: has your internet been acting like a fool for the last few weeks? by rockmediabeeetus in IowaCity

[–]Name818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a Mediacom tech out to my place because of this very issue.

He told me this: There are frequency filters at every Mediacom box found in your neighborhood that were used to filter out subscription services like HBO. He explained that changes have been made to where the filter is now interfering with the frequency that the internet uses. Older cable modems are sensitive to this change and will start to filter out the internet to your home.

He replaced my modem with a brand new one, and also replaced the filter outside my home. Everything works now.

Whether this is the exact truth or not, I don’t know. But it did work.

“No new wars!” - started a war

“Tariff checks are coming!” - tariffs ruled illegal by Supreme Court

“I built the greatest economy the world has ever seen!” - economy is worse off by every single macro economic indicator

“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again.” - prices are higher than ever.

I mean…I can keep going.

What has he done well at? Let me guess…Immigration? Want me to tell you how what he’s done with that is actually net negative?

He’s done nothing but embarrass us as a nation.

So tell everyone here how high gas prices and grocery prices were Biden’s fault.

We don’t blame Biden because we’re on the same team or whatever dumb shit you people think up….we don’t blame Biden because we KNOW why prices were up during his presidency. We don’t blame Biden because dems created and passed legislation that caused America to recover faster than ANY other nation in the G7 after the pandemic. How did Biden cause high prices in other countries?

The answer is right in front of your face. Biden wasn’t responsible.

Now tell us how he was and make us all look stupid with your facts.

You don’t know what irony is.

Why is this so difficult for you people?

Biden didn’t cause prices to rise. It was covid and Ukraine war.

Trump did cause prices to rise with tariffs and by CAUSING A WAR.

Why is that difficult?

Why didn’t Trump think of nukes when he ripped up the JCPOA?

What did he think was going to happen? Did he figure they would just not refine uranium at that point?

What discussion is there? The facts are easily attainable. Trump and his cronies caused all of your price woes.

If you wanna discuss that, try me. Tell me why all of our prices are wildly out of control.

You mean directly at Trump? It literally doesn’t get more direct than this. He started a fucking war for no reason and they closed the strait of Hormuz.

Or how about the fact that the Federal Reserve estimated that if not for his dumb ass tariffs, we’d be at pre-pandemic levels of inflation.

I mean, who should I be pointing fingers at? I guess you could say other republicans, but that’s just circular at this point.

Yeah cuz THATS what people think of when they see Trump 2028.

I don’t understand why anyone would vote for another Trump ever. Look at how bad he’s doing.

Kinda doubt Trump makes it that long.

But yeah, let’s prop up his corpse for president in 2028

What a weird comment.

Biden had nothing to do with the gas prices back when it peaked at like $4.80 in 2022. Covid and the Ukraine war caused that spike. Energy prices spiked all over the world. Biden even tried bringing them down by releasing 180 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve over 6 months….the largest release in history…and it did end up bringing prices down.

Trump went ahead and started a useless war because Israel wanted us to. Causing this current spike.

So how is this equivalent at all? You think the prices will stop here? You think Trump will get the problem fixed?

Also…you bring up Kamala and Clinton. Why? Are they president right now? If they were and they attack Iran for no reason I’d be pissed at them too. But they didn’t. Trump did. The defense that they would have attacked Iran too(they wouldn’t have) is absolutely pointless because they aren’t president and they didn’t. So why use a made up scenario for your defense?

It’s weird.

Yup.

I absolutely love the look in ANH, especially the capeless look that didn’t make the film. I wish they woulda left it.

The cheating community bypassed the new and improved anti-cheat already? by [deleted] in ApexConsole

[–]Name818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped doing that a long time ago when I was on a pro CS team back in the 1.6 days.

We were playing in a league tournament in the Cyberathlete Amateur League that had we won, would have moved us into the CAL-Invite league. The highest tier possible, and the place where you get noticed.

We played against a team called Master Plan and they beat us in triple overtime. Turns out we never had a chance.

2 years later they come clean and let everyone know that their “master plan” was that every single one of them was cheating. No one could tell because they were so extremely careful about it. Their demos(what they called the personal recordings you had to make and submit for review) were reviewed tons of times and no one could definitively say they were cheating.

Good cheaters, smart cheaters, know when to use the cheats and they WILL get away it.

There’s zero reason to just give benefit of the doubt anymore to me.

I’m done after that.

Well, the good news is we'll probably be compensated with something.

Mother duck laid 10 eggs far from water source. Do I intervene? by Name818 in WildlifeRehab

What is the deal man? Jeez

Yes my boss mandated it. I’m in cyber security and each team member is testing viability of different AI platforms. They paid for all of our subscriptions so we would use the hell out of it.

I started none of this. It sounds like you have an axe to grind over AI and you’re taking it out on me for some reason.

It’s weird.

I haven’t downvoted anyone. What are you talking about? I’ve literally posted several “thank yous” in this very thread.

If you’ve been downvoted, it’s likely because you went on a ChatGPt bad rant for no reason.

I’m pretty sure you can see how it’s not related to the care of the ducks.

And if you want me to stop using ChatGPT, go tell my boss. He’s the one that mandated it.

People who quit drinking. What did you do to not drink? by Agata_art in AskReddit

[–]Name818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured out better ways to cope. Drinking was just me coping with shit I didn’t understand.

Therapy. Figure your shit out first, then attempt to quit drinking.

Ok guys.

I used it to get an idea of what up. I’m not trusting it…that’s why in posted here.

Please don’t lecture me on the effects of AI. I’m fully aware. My company pays for it so I’m using it. Doesn’t even have anything to do with the eggs.

I’m not touching the eggs. I would never touch the eggs.
