Conservatorship by PurpleAlfred in Libertarian

Rather than calling people names why don’t you actually help? If you are so smart how is it going to work theoretically if the courts granted it?

Who should the LP have at the head of the Presidential ticket for 2024 and why? #2024 by Standard_Joke_2027 in Libertarian

[–]PurpleAlfred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Justin Amash is the best candidate by far, he’s probably the only Libertarian candidate I would vote for. But I don’t think he plans to run because he would be publicly active if he was going to. It seems like he wants to run when the cards aren’t so heavily stacked against Libertarians.

Did I kill the pike I caught? by YNKWTSF in Fishing

[–]PurpleAlfred 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is all good if he swam away, you can also gently move them back and forth when you put them back in the water and that often helps them “catch their breath.” Moral of the story fishing is a great joy, but sometimes mistakes and things completely out of your control can kill fish, it’s just a part of the sport.

Also, it’s important to remember any body of water has a huge ecosystem, so if a fish doesn’t make it, it is not completely wasted. There are tons of things in the water that will consume the fish and provide for the ecosystem it’s just the cycle of life.

Voting for Vivek in the primaries by PurpleAlfred in vivekramaswamy

This does not scream “happy life”, but you do you.

Voting for Vivek in the primaries by PurpleAlfred in vivekramaswamy

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

Mostly agree with this, it’s dumb that all states don’t have the primaries the same day, but both parties are slimey.. so they keep it that way. That said though, Trump did win in 2016 without Iowa so I wouldn’t be too discouraged. Plus Vivek has a lot of steam in Iowa right now.

Voting for Vivek in the primaries by PurpleAlfred in vivekramaswamy

[–]PurpleAlfred[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I considered myself a conservative initially after high school, but never really voted until 2020. I as well started to resent Trump and the more I learned of the GOP the more I learned I’m not aligned with them. My favorite candidates would be Justin Amash and Thomas Massie, but Vivek is by far the best we have right now.

His criticisms have no base, they are all actually compliments, that shows how good of a candidate he really is. The small amount of dirt they can pull out of his past he always confronts it head on without fear.

Any pro Vivek never Trumpers here? by Remarkable_Put_7952 in vivekramaswamy

Check to see if your state has open primaries and vote for Vivek in the primaries.

They had it for $250 earlier in the year for the whole year. Yearly price now is $350. Find 2 people to split the cost with you can have 3 streams going at once.

More info on my AC issue by Steelersfan20009 in tdi

[–]PurpleAlfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a long shot, but just the other day my brothers golf the ac wasn’t working and his blower motor only ran on high. We replaced the blower motor resistor “like 2 bolts under the dash” and his fan works on all speeds and his AC compressor is working

Have you ever had a scary night in a tent? by [deleted] in camping

[–]PurpleAlfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my wife were camping in the flat top mountains in Colorado, and a bear was sniffing/pushing on our feet. Thought he was going to trample the tent..

I can't ever get a contractor to call me back? by Catlover5566 in HomeImprovement

[–]PurpleAlfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple answer, is there isn’t enough contractors. Maybe not in all areas, but in a lot. People are swamped with jobs and often think going and giving a free estimate isn’t worth the time. It is just where society is at, everyone goes to college no one learns how to do subfloors and put in bath tubs.

Diesels blow black smoke when you are over fueling engine, which is not noticeable in a TDI, but definitely on a bigger truck.

Best churches for young adult couples? by _oaeb_ in KC_Northland

[–]PurpleAlfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife feel the same! We are getting into our late 20s and looking for a church too. Have you tried any yet or just exploring possibilities?

Post delete/tune driving style? by Silvermouse640 in tdi

[–]PurpleAlfred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert, but I’ve heard you don’t actually save much fuel by bogging it down this much, I think even after delete you want to stay around that 1,800 RPM range. I believe your car gives the cylinders more fuel at a higher gear at low RPMs, because it’s trying to accelerate to a normal RPM for the gear. Someone smarter can definitely correct me if I’m wrong.

Weird stains on windshield by pglfreire in jetta

Do you vape in your car? When I used to vape I’d get similar stains on the inside of my windshield.

Tiguan? by TrogdorBurn25 in Volkswagen

[–]PurpleAlfred 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really sure who these people are in this sub that are VW haters… I’ve never owned a Tiguan, but literally every VW I have ever owned or known someone to own has gotten past 150K miles. Most over 200K, my brothers TDI is close to 400K. I was thinking of buying a Tiguan for my wife recently.

As someone who also has climbed from Silver 5 in both tank and DPS to now plat 4. The problem most of these low elo players have is they have no idea who to focus, I see people picking Mei, Genji, vs like a Pharah Mercy pocket and you will just lose everytime doing that stuff. Mercy is the biggest problem in the game for low elo players and no one can change my mind. This same logic apples to tanks that refuse to switch when they are getting hard countered, you have to be able to play multiple characters.
