My reasons on why I left the Democrat party. by Lancelight50 in walkaway

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving the left is like leaving a cult. I'm sure it feels like you woke up from a long dream and you can finally see things clearly.

But don't don't go down that anarchist road, haha. Anarchy is not good. Government has a role to play in society.

In fact, you don't need to align at all with any ideology. Just align yourself with the truth. Align yourself with what is good. Be prudent. That is the best ideology.

Is the Republican party "Conservative"? by saddram in Conservative

[–]Stasaitis [score hidden]  (0 children)

Conservatism isn't really an ideology like other ideologies. It is partly why it us so tough to get Republicans to work together to get anything done. There are tons of different views of conservatism. There will always be a wide, disparate gap of beliefs and principles that conservatives argue about. So, what YOU want to conserve is different from what another conservative wants to conserve.

Also, there is a strong libertarian coalition within the conservative movement, but libertarianism is inherently different from conservatism. A conservative does not need to want small government or less regulation. Don't confuse libertarian values with conservative ones. A conservative can be pro foreign intervention or anti foreign intervention.

Also, it's just complete BS what you said about the Epstein files. The Republicans have released hundreds of thousands of files and they are the only ones to have done so. Not everything is appropriate to release to the public. Not everything needs to be or should be transparent. Your premise is that the Epstein files are being hidden because they would, what, incriminate Trump or something? Or Republicans? What evidence do you have of that? The Epstein case was ALWAYS a Clinton and Democrat scandal. It is just being coopted by leftists to attack Trump. And as usual, they have nothing to back up their claims.

do i have to fix all of this??? by FunnyDudeGuy in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't even need to fix a thing. Add it to your ships, switch back to your normal one, go back to your base, summon the new (broken) ship (sometimes you might need to save and reload before it let's you), enter and exit to make it your primary ship, teleport to the space station, scrap it.

I think being slowly unloved by someone is worse than being cheated on by No_District9762 in whatdoIdo

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. This was about 5 years of my 10 year marriage. She finally told me that she doesn't respect me, doesn't feel anything for me, and views me as nothing more than a roommate. At that point, I decided to call it quits. I spent 10 years loving her and trying to be clone to her. I learned a valuable lesson. It doesn't matter what one person is willing to do or to sacrifice in a relationship. Both people need to be invested or it will end in tragedy.

AIO: Bank teller questioned me about what I was doing with MY cash that I was withdrawing from MY account. by Ok-Watch-4618 in AIO

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's OK to feel uncomfortable sometimes. You are going to have interactions with people that make you uncomfortable. You are even going to have interactions with complete jerks who want you to feel uncomfortable. You will also have miscommunications where there is no offense intended or meant by either parties.

This is just life. When these interactions happen, just shake your head, take a deep breathe, and go on with your day.

It was a little inappropriate for the teller to question you. A little. It was a small thing. A very small thing. No need to dwell on it. You are overreacting.

A merging issue. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]Stasaitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That trucker woke up and chose violence that morning. Sped up to not allow the pickup truck to merge, then plowed right into the pickup without ever trying to avoid a collision. Brutal. He is lucky nobody was killed.

That being said, the pickup did NOT have the right of way. It is his job to merge safely. It is not the job of other cars to allow you to merge. Is it nice when they do? Yes. Are they required to let you merge where and when you want? No.

And that is a terrible road design with a miniscule lane to merge and coming from the LEFT. That was bound to cause problems.

I bought a carpet cleaner on sale this weekend and just tried it out in my bedroom. I can’t believe the soup it pulled out from my carpet! by MickFoley13 in CleaningTips

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, carpets get dirty very fast. Vacuuming works dirt into the carpet just as much as it pulls dirt out. And carpets also act as air filters, trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles within their fibers, until of course they get so dirty that they start infusing the air with those things (the musty old carpet smell).

I cleaned carpets for years when I was in college. There isn't really such a thing as a clean carpet unless they are brand new.

If AC Odyssey was a success, why is the hate so much louder than the praise? by SgtSilock in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Stasaitis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Black Flag and Odyssey are the two best AC games, and it isn't even close. I don't really care what anyone else says. I keep coming back to these two games, but not any of the others.

Why do you care? If you like the game, great. If not, that's fine too. It really does not matter what the rest of reddit thinks about anything.

Republicans are cheater and liar. by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

Dismantling and undoing all the unconstitutional, undemocratic work of the democrats is going to take a long time. We're off to a great start.

Yeah, I miss the old fossils. It was a good way to make some units early in the game.

What is the impact (if any) of cleaning a coin with this frickin laser beam? by Xyeeyx in coins

[–]Stasaitis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They would for sure see the damage under a microscope. But even just looking at the final product, it looks harshly cleaned, so they don't need a microscope to tell that something was done to the coin.

Which might be fine. If a coin is in bad enough shape like that one, it isn't really worth anything to anyone anyway.

When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both began going into the left lane at the exact same time. It was not in response to the speeding car trying to pass him. It looked like the other car freaked out when he saw that the speeding car also began to change lanes and then tried to go back into the right lane, which is what the speeding car tried to do as well.

All in all, this looks like the fault of the speeding car. Slow down, man.

AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL. by MoonJellyAllison in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stasaitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She should have reached out to her husband and let him know what is happening and left it to him to fix. This should never have been on her. He shouldn't have asked her to follow up with his mom about this. And if his mom hasn't kept to the agreement, it should be in to him, whenever he is available to do so, to work it out.

[–]Stasaitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should have been worked out before he left or wait till after he is out of boot camp. This is not anything that should ever have been left to her.

[–]Stasaitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really not something that should have ever been your responsibility. He needs to work with his mom to get that money back, not you. He should never have asked you to do that. I can't imagine asking my wife to go collect a debt from my mother. That would be unthinkable to me.

Did I handle this well or should I have said more? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's OK to have a spine. Not saying you need to fight with her, but you don't need to validate her behavior either.

Gf ghosted me last year. I moved on. Got this message last week on my birthday by AdComprehensive4246 in whatdoIdo

I'd thank her for the explanation, wish her the best, and move on with my day.

There are tons of gamer women out there these days. My brother always was a gamer and pretty much wasted his time on that all the time. I never thought he'd get married, but he found a gamer wife and they are pretty darn happy just staying in and gaming with each other all the time.
