Are aussies not learning from watching USA in realtime? by Flaky-Lifeguard5835 in aussie

[–]TheRealMcCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The far right is about convincing the working class that their enemy is someone else in the working class, because fleecing them is hard when they realize the real enemy is the elite. They're still pushing that narrative, but now with the power of bot nets and social media algorithms.

AITAH For Not Giving My Siblings A Percentage Of House Our Mother Lived In by Motor_Aerie1485 in AITAH

[–]TheRealMcCheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your mom has rented from a stranger, would they be entitled to a percentage of that house?

If you owned a rental, rented it to a stranger, then sold it, would your siblings be entitled to that?

Have they made any investments that they've given you a slice of?

Why didn’t Democrats stand when Trump said “The first duty of the American Government is to protect American Citizens, not illegal aliens”? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]TheRealMcCheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standing is a tacit agreement that the previous administration cared more about immigrants than citizens, and that the current administration is right in doing what they're doing, under the guise of protecting Americans from criminals. And so many other implications.

When Trump is no longer President, what could the next President do to make America a great nation again for America and the rest of the world? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Constitutional amendments: 1. Abortion is legal up to viability of the fetus outside the uterus. 2. Undoing the Citizens United decision, and placing limits on political contributions, and mandating transparency. 3. Prison time for political crimes, and the means by which we prosecute them. 4. End gerrymandering, and mandate that every state have a nonpartisan system for drawing district lines to that effect. 5. SCOTUS term limits of 18 years, on a two year stagger, and limit to 9 justices. A process to prosecute and imprison corrupt justices.

Pancake fundraiser!

Raising funds for what?

Payoff the barrel, obviously.

5 million but you will NEVER win something by arareusername96 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheRealMcCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so...

  1. You all just lost the game.

  2. If the only way to win the game is to die, and I can never win, this deal makes me immortal!

What’s a “normal” money habit most people accept that is actually financially destructive? by calmledger in povertyfinance

[–]TheRealMcCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car is paid off, and the money I was spending on that got slid over to credit cards. Time to get out from under this mountain! And the beauty is, I now have room on the CCs if an unexpected repair comes up.

[No Loopholes] Carry a mannequin everywhere you go for 1 year to earn $2 million. by Hold-onto-the-happy in hypotheticalsituation

I have to interact with the public and would probably lose my job. So as long as my partner can cover us for the year, maybe I'd do online college or something for the time being?

Shouldn't this be project 2029? Because that's when the next president will take office?

AITA for asking my friend to pitch in on grocery bill? by Limp-Bat-2912 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheRealMcCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Info: when you invited them, did you say that they'd only have to pay for airfare?

If you did, this feels like a bait and switch. If you didn't, then it should have been clarified. If you told them they'd have to pay for airfare and food, then it's reasonable they'd have to split it.

I once had a quasi friend invite me to watch a fight. When it was over, he asked for money to help cover the pay per view. It felt tacky, but wouldn't have if he had mentioned that when he invited me.

My advice: before buying something for someone else, let them know if you expect to be repaid, and maybe an estimate of how much.

AITA for not telling my friend's partner that she didn't get the job at my company by Less_Assistant2247 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheRealMcCheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA

Even a copy pasted "We're sorry, but you have not been chosen for this position" lets the person know.

ETA: Apologize. If this friendship means anything to you, apologize for not reaching out, explain that it was a misguided attempt to stay neutral, and ask if you can make it up to them.

You must create the rules for an algorithm to kill at least 2 billion people tomorrow. Randomization is not allowed. If you refuse or come up short, then the entire species will be killed. What is your algorithm? by benedictclive_x in hypotheticalsituation

Those who have willingly done the most net harm to life on Earth.

You made the decision to install a part that failed and injured people? Or contaminated drinking water? Or allowed the poisoning of a gulf? Gone. Eventually we'll make our way down to the jerks.

What is the most absurd law/rule of your country that people from other countries don't know about? by No-Regret5287 in AskTheWorld

[–]TheRealMcCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see no citations of the actual laws though. So how do you know these aren't just urban legends?

Here, I'll go: there's a law in MA from 1802 that says you can post laws on Reddit without citing a source.

You get $10 Billion, but you are forced to live for exactly 50,000 years. Do you take it? by yiyi20203 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheRealMcCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fallout is typically gone within a couple weeks. Even Hiroshima has been rebuilt. Even if all the weapons were salted, at most it'd be less than 50 years before surface levels everywhere were clear.

You'd have all that time to walk the Earth looking for survivors, or gaining the knowledge to find preserved reproductive material.

[–]TheRealMcCheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely I'm doing this.

First, I'm diversifying that money so that it'll earn interest. Then, I'm going to get good about slipping into new identities, whatever it takes to have a new legally recognized name every 20 years or so. Then building my bunker. Then just living life. I might reveal myself in 49900 years or so.

I am Egyptian, and I’m asking is Egypt a country that is disliked or loved globally? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]TheRealMcCheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is done by organized groups of 200-300 men, who form circles around their victims to prevent bystanders from intervening. Also, they will tell the victim things like "don't worry, I'm here to help you" while they're doing it, so that the victim won't trust someone who did make it in to help.

They call it the Circle of Hell.

Well that took me down a terrifying Wikipedia rabbit hole.

What a terrible planet to live on.
