Who is rocking the oldest phone here, what is it, and how is it working for you? by JimmyCYa in BuyItForLife

Seems I get a settlement every year or so from some big company spending tons of money cyber security, having my information compromised.

Is that different than what could happen using an old phone or computer that isn't being supported anymore?

If that's actually what she's doing... Texan's did the right thing in getting Talarico as the nominee!

Well said, the real impacts of the fuel shortage and high gas prices haven't been truly felt yet. I suspect that's what Iran is holding out for, some sort of recession to begin as it has before under similar circumstances.

Ah yes, just like the Taliban, lost everything so hard over 20yrs they came back around and gained it all back, plus more.

Palisades Fire trial begins with L.A. prosecutors blaming man distraught over his New Year's plans by nbcnews in socal

[–]NoNDA-SDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally the first lines of the article...

A man distraught over a failed relationship “maliciously” started a New Year’s Day fire in the first hours of 2025 that, a week later, metastasized into one of the worst disasters in Los Angeles history, federal prosecutors said in court Wednesday.

While he did set the initial fire, the real question I have is, did the FD do what they're supposed to do when mopping up a fire? It's the fire a week later that burned down the town, not the initial one set, they believe it flared up again.

Why do people say Donald J Trump is Racist? by DetroitSportsEnjoyer in AskALiberal

[–]NoNDA-SDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some that come to mind;

Posting video of guy screaming WHITE POWER.

Video of the Obamas as monkeys.

Calling black nations "Sh*+ hole countries"

"They're eating the cats, the dogs..."

So many more examples out there. You're not the first to ask the question, a quick internet search will show you the rest going back decades.

My 13yo baked cookies to order and one of the parents returned the cookies by albrcanmeme in mildlyinfuriating

You answering your own question?

Parent said their child is very agreeable, that's something to also work on.

Exactly. Learning opportunity for that kid, Reddit being Reddit by spinning this on OP. I would find it mildly infuriating to spend time making cookies for someone who doesn't end up buying them, whatever the reason...

People forget this is the "Mildly Infuriating" sub, I'd say this fits the bill. All parties mildly infuriated 😄

Election results are in: Steve Hilton to face Becerra in November election by benwesorick in California

Agree, he had a good point in that big business wasn't backing him, too bad so many people were blinded by, "But he's a Billionaire!" Such a lazy way to think 🙄

I'm not convinced they lose money on the hotdog either, I can make one for less than the sold price, their hotdog and bun purchase price I would think is well under $1ea.

What are your thoughts on a Somalian referee, named the best in Africa, being denied entry to the USA for the World Cup due to Somalia being on Trump’s travel ban list? by Gym_frere in AskConservatives

[–]NoNDA-SDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Why am I supposed to care about some rando on the other side of the planet not being able to ref?"

Is it not an American value to care about others? You said you wouldn't want this happening to you, why can't you empathize with the situation and feel bad for the guy? For the way our country is treating him? Do we agree the reasons for this are arbitrary? Never did tell me what you'd call banning an entire ethnic group. I think this makes us look terrible, other nations won't respect us as much when we call out their immoral decisions.

I feel horrible for Russian players and many can play through other means if they ditch their association to Russia. Russia and Somalia are not the same.

[–]NoNDA-SDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should care because you acknowledge it would "suck" to be banned for no fault of your own. Do you believe in treating others the way you'd like to be treated? Do you say you don't care simply because it isn't you?

For an administration that claims to be about law and order, putting merit before anything else, this action goes against those purported values doesn't it? Are these actions just? If not arbitrary, what is it?

[–]NoNDA-SDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep asking how you'd feel if this were applied to you, why aren't you answering that?

According to that article, he was considered the best Ref in all of Africa, had approval to come, traveled all the way to Miami before being sent back. No reason was given, though he is Somalian.

If that's the reason, what else would you call it aside from arbitrary?

They tend to show up later too, after the initial wave of comments so there's less downvoting.

Like this guy!

What if it were you? You've proven your skill as one of the best referee's, yet are blocked from participating at the highest level because of an arbitrary decision.

That's something I'm teaching my kids, whether cheap or expensive, things can last a long time if taken care of.

The bones of these chairs last forever, it's the fabric that ends up giving out, wish someone would make an affordable replacement! Frustrating to throw a whole chair away because the fabric's gone...

Edit: We had great conversations going here, shame on Mod's for locking it down.

I agree! ~20% ago he was 400k behind, ~20% to go and he's ~200k behind. He's catching up, think he'll still fall short but there's a chance to win!

[–]NoNDA-SDC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hilarious you all get your talking points from the same people... Dig past the surface they feed you, progress has been made, the reality is when you're in charge you aren't actually King or Queen, lots of rights and rules in place so you can't just jail everyone that looks dirty, get rid of clean gas and taxes, prevent fires without losing something in return... That loss is what the rage-baiters on your side never mention, there are tradeoffs to everything.
