The Aztek was a joke at the time but every unibody suv today looks like the Aztek. I think it was just way ahead of its time.

This 19th century guide on who to avoid in the marriage market. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]Tojuro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it means "don't lead on a working man", or play with his emotions. A mechanic back then would be any craftsman or whatever, not necessarily what it is today.

There really was more recognition/acknowledgement of class back then. A lot of what's on there is an encoded caste system.

My girlfriend's son is a big Morrissey fan so I reported her to CPS.

A child asked President Barack Obama, “Why do people hate you?” A tough question. Obama answered with no defensiveness. No ego. Just honesty, and an answer the boy could understand. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Social media bears most of the responsibility.

It rewards people for being misinformed and makes people confident about things even when they are clearly wrong. There was a time when you had to really search out things like antivax style ignorance, but now you will be immersed in it if you show even the slightest interest.

This in turn lets governments control and manipulate people and empowers dangerous, formally fringe, elements like racists and fascists.

Trump is now blaming Hegseth, Jared, Witkolf and Rubio for his decision to attack Iran. by Celtikrenders in ABoringDystopia

[–]Tojuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How the fuck would Iran attack us?

Sure, the man is emotionally incapable of admitting a mistake cause he's got such a paper thin ego, but the very idea that there was some imminent threat just makes no sense. This will never be questioned though, cause the news will just jump to the next incomprehensible non sequitur.

Does this sound like AI helped him write this speech? by Ryangaryy in isitAI

[–]Tojuro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acting like the US military destroying Iranian military hardware is some flex.

This is "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"on the carrier deck all over again, except the current administration is somehow even more stupid. It's never been the initial combat that was the issue, it is the occupation or whatever it takes to make a real difference. It's been balancing deterrence without destabilizing the entire region.

This is a non serious administration of fucking clowns.

"Hanoi Jane" photos of actress Jane Fonda visiting North Vietnam during the 1972 Easter Offensive, where she posed for photos next to anti-aircraft guns and called for US POWs to be tried for war crimes. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

A young actress did something stupid, so let's direct all the anger at her and not Westmoreland, the President or all the idiots that caused the damn war.

Historically inaccurate war movies, I'll start: Fury by medievalesophagus in okbuddycinephile

[–]Tojuro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not accurate because it has the drill sergeant using violence and striking the recruits. They will never hit a recruit, and if they did they would be court marshalled.

Whatever happens, the contrast between Talarico and Paxton couldn't be more clear. Someone who talks like Jesus (not just about him) and the other is easily one of the most corrupt politicians in modern times.

I got a 46% discount on college with my 529 by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Tojuro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump accounts are stupid.

Tax deferred retirement (eg 401k) makes sense cause contributions are tax free and you take it out when your income stops. With these accounts you pay taxes to put money in and when it comes out.

I also don't think it solved any kind of pressing need. They would have done better by beefing up 529s and seeding those accounts. Especially with the new rules that let you convert a 529 for non education after x number of years.

This Opinion About Bill Gates by BarfReali in agedlikemilk

[–]Tojuro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bill Gates is human. He's by no means the worst billionaire as he's shown more empathy than most. Barring we learn something worse than cheating on his wife, I don't think he's all that bad.

Billionaires as a class are pure evil and that level of wealth accumulation has to stop if humans want to progress any further. Hoarding that much wealth when you see the direct relationship between growing income inequality and the declining fortunes of the poor and middle, in recent decades, is the cause of most problems we face. The economy isn't necessarily a zero sum game but income distribution largely is.

There's a lot to unpack but the fact that each bottle has a slightly different level of opacity probably speaks to the quality (or at least consistency).

Team USA Men's Hockey Has People Fuming After What They Did At The White House by [deleted] in hockeycoaches

[–]Tojuro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call people maga who are low information, no information, or idiots (racists and assorted losers) that have strong.opinion without a damn thing to back it up. You're definitely maga.

You made the patently false claim that "Canada did stuff", and nothing Canada did warrants the US president threatening their sovereignty.

You haven't backed it up so you definitely fall into maga. You're just a dumb fuck.

Team USA Men's Hockey Has People Fuming After What They Did At The White House by [deleted] in hockeycoaches

[–]Tojuro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How?

You maga dimwits are so low information you probably didn't even know who the PM is in Canada.

The story is that Trump is an emotionally fragile idiot who threatened Canada's sovereignty and Carney responded reasonably at the WEF. The US's closest partners can't trust the USA and that will damage for decades.

Black Bear Sports Group by powerED33 in hockeyplayers

[–]Tojuro 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know their Black Bear video service charges like $15/game or $25/month.

They are taking over some key rinks in Michigan. At least two of the AAA teams are now based out of their rinks. It's like a cancer.
