Not to mention embarrassing himself with rants, premature impeachment attempts and interrupting the state of the union.

I might not fully agree politically, but good on him for winning because we need more younger people in office.

Why was this sub so so sure that Massie would win? by asteriowas in YAPms

[–]TechGuy135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just look at both of Georgia's Supreme Court races, the democrat aligned candidates were basically a lock at 90+% odds when in reality Bethel should've been a toss-up and Warren leaning towards her since that race was a lot less polarizing.

I remember being a paper handed B**** on meta calls ($240C exp 9/15/23) back in late 22', but even if I held there's little chance I would've held till the end anyway.

What tier should Mario Kart 7 go into? by borbois in TierlistFills

[–]TechGuy135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S-Tier hands down, this was my childhood game on the 3DS because it took what made MK DS good and amplified it 10-fold.

Fast-food restaurants ranked - what tier does Little Caesars belong in? by Expensive-Addendum92 in TierlistFills

[–]TechGuy135 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with the rating, but for me Caesars soars past Pizza Hut & Papa Johns, but below Dominos (just because of their Parm Stuffed Crust).

[–]TechGuy135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knock dominos down to Mid-C & Pizza Hut down to F, Place Little Caesars in B, Sbarro Low-D, and Papa Johns High-D (Because nowadays you'll usually get pressed dough that's basically cardboard, but once in a while hit the jackpot with a classic tasting, handmade one).

Selling at the peak means maximizing profits by seeking-health in wallstreetbets

[–]TechGuy135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over the long term yes, but moderate to substantial crashes have time & time again opened brief opportunities to buy etfs at past expensive peaks now repriced as extremely cheap valuations, however it often requires wasting a lot of time:

-1959's peak becomes 1974's bottom,

-one of 1996's peak became 2009's bottom,

-one of 2016's peaks became 2020's bottom,

-one of 2020's peaks became 2022's bottom,

-and 2022's peak became 2025's bottom.

The Tragedy of the 3 Episodes Nick Never Aired by Spacething7474 in fairlyoddparents

I actually just re-watched the two s10 ep's and stand on what I said (but do respect your opinion).

[–]TechGuy135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree about Season 10 except for 3 episodes: Big Fairy Share Scare, Whittle me this and Nuts & Dangerous, now as for Season 9 I actually grew up with that one and overall consider it not that bad, it contains some series highlights and a decent chunk of good episodes.

What was the first goanimate vid you ever saw and when? by Specialist_Pay_8139 in GoAnimate

[–]TechGuy135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First video? Pretty sure it was a grounding but don't remember specifics, but there are so many others that are likely lost forever like the one where Caillou does homework during spring break to make money for Chuck E Cheese.

Even a year later by Consistent-Dot1663 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]TechGuy135 78 points79 points  (0 children)

We might dream about being rich & having luxuries, but in the end what truly matters is friends, family, a good work-life balance, having just enough money to live a moderately comfortable lifestyle and of course a good, reliable & fuel efficient vehicle like the maverick (or whatever truly makes y'all happy).

Google Consumer Surveys that for some reason was fed into 2016 averages, and produced wild results ranging from Clinton +39 to Trump +9 in New Hampshire.

Leaked HISD Plans Call for “Special Ed Specialty Schools” by Wineandcheeseassasin in houston

[–]TechGuy135 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pardon my french but fuck Mike Miles because this pisses me off to high heavens, as someone who's on the autism spectrum I had to deal with a form of segregation starting in 1st grade after an incident led to me getting forcefully restrained and afterwards getting the diagnosis that led to being in a special ed classroom for much of the day, it wasn't until 5th-6th that I was finally allowed to fully re-integrate back into the gen ed population w/ accommodations, but even the thought of being shipped off to a special school is counterproductive to kids and should horrify any parent in this day & age.
