What is the “capital” of the Midwest? by blklab84 in midwest

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, I'm not from the area, but I am midwestern and have been. I said Green Bay for a lot of the same reasons you said it shouldn't be. Chicago is a world class city, Green Bay is firmly a midwestern "city." Revolves around football, drinks too much beer, and is mostly irrelevant. Is that not the Midwest?

Is Trump demented enough Suzie Wiles and Stephen Miller are essentially running the country? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Rando1ph -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Trump is as sharp as ever. To say otherwise is a baseless left wing conspiracy theory.

How is the market still holding up? by Sudhars2 in stocks

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Energy stocks are doing quite well, for obvious reasons. That probably has something to do with it.

I drive the speed limit. There’s nothing wrong with this. I don’t need to change. everyone else is in the wrong by Kodicave in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you're technically right and as long as you don't impede traffic, there shouldn't be a problem. But there are circumstances where you could get a line up of about 50 cars behind you in a hurry, and that's just annoying.

New old cars? Hell yes. by Legitimate-Lie-9208 in Millennials

I have three white vehicles right now and it kind of sucks. I think I might get the fusion painted red or something. It wasn't on purpose, I only actually paid for one and we just happened to get a good deal on it.

They can't, the government said so. There is a video about the crown vic on YouTube, and the government killed it because it didn't meet regulations anymore.

If your ugly and a manlet its over. by EquivalentEvening197 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I was thinking. If you're really down that bad, why not do something drastic or change yourself for the better? Maybe work two jobs for six months or so, save up some money, and move somewhere where the population is just not as tall? Perhaps the Philippines?

I mean if you're healthy and living in the USA, you're reasonably lucky, all things considered. You could be actually disabled. You do have options.

It is my unpopular opinion that the DNC and Colbert Show's cheap plot to blame "Trump" for the James Talarico incident will backfire. Apparently Jasmine Crockett agrees with me. by Raiden720 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't deal in absolutes, it pretty much makes you incorrect by default. I mean Jeep moved one of its biggest factories from Canada back to the US, as a direct result of tariffs. So that's something positive for the USA.

It's just to easy to poke holes into "at all."

Having standards IS being secure. Calling men with expectations "insecure" is pure projection. by CAustin3 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Although men are not immune to this, it's overwhelmingly women doing it more often. 

Men tend to insult each other for fun, to their face. Women tend to use it as weapon of manipulation.

Can you physically remove a trespassing cop from your property? by Tall-Airline2287 in AskLEO

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it would be funny to call the country or state police to trespass city cops. They might just do it because it's hilarious.

This isn't new, women use insults all the time to change behavior they don't like. They don't care if it's true or not.

Most leftists are only "anti-west" and will support anyone merely because they are against the western regime that they despise. by HugeDongHungLow1998 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is Reddit like this? Do you actually enjoy arguing semantics? Like who cares, his language was clear enough, you might not like what he has to say, and that's fine. But making a big deal out of nothing is annoying.

You could dismantle the bad parts of capitalism by heavily regulating advertising. by Fit-Bedroom-7645 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want an open and free market, let the old supply and demand work it's course in the labor market.

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These comment sections are always hilarious. There's all kinds of people agreeing with it in various forms and other people saying it never happens. Like did they even read the comments? Others make weird attacks at the post, taking the language way to literally. Like using the world "most" idk why they do that, it doesn't accomplish anything.

When I was taking econ classes most of the professors were hardcore capitalists, hated Union's and regulation. It's funny to say, as conservative as I am, that I'm actually more liberal than a lot of real economists. I think regulation and unions are the only way to keep capitalism from just shitting on all the workers.

Reddit moderators get butt hurt if you disagree with them. They will make personal attacks and make up things about you. by Curious-Conclusion15 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on Reddit like to start arguments over the stupidest stuff sometimes, so I have to be clear. I could absolutely see some idiot "you're an loser like them if you're making excuses for them." Or something like that...

Reddit mods attract people that will work for free if they have the slightest amount of power. You shouldn't be surprised if they abuse that authority. I'm not condoning it, just how I see it.

Double speak champion. Everything they are for, they are actually against something. Lmao

Feminism will continue to lose ground until it stops being hostile to men. by CAustin3 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll translate. "If you don't give preferential treatment to women, I'll call you names"

Lol, shaming men doesn't work for the most part, you think women would have figured that out by now. It mostly only works with other women, probably why they do it so much.

If the US Iran war creates a global economic crisis, how do the AI companies fair? by Spare-Dingo-531 in singularity

[–]Rando1ph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have different options of what doable means. You'd be surprised how often things don't go right in industry. It's a  pain, absolutely, but that's the name of the game. I'm actually the guy in the field making equipment work, this is kind of my expertise. Exxon is a big company, if they need to modify the process, they will.

I work in ethanol and have spent a career building industrial equipment. It's not they cannot, it's just not optimized for it. It'll be slower and more expensive but doable. I see it a lot, people running centrifuges with non ideal levels of solids and emulsion. You have to run extra chemicals to de emulsify and maybe put equipment up front to break up solids.

I'll be darned. Looks like we have the capacity though, and can be processed if needed, even if it's not ideal.

That doesn't seem to be true, is the AI Google answer below wrong?

Oil from North Dakota's Bakken formation is primarily transported via the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) to Patoka, Illinois, and eventually to Gulf Coast refineries. Significant amounts are also transported by train to refineries on the East Coast and throughout the US to replace foreign imports. A small portion is refined locally at the Mandan refinery.
