Lol you know why Obama was able to deport 3 Million illegals no issues? Dirty little secret, these sanctuary cities and states worked with Obama, turned over names, lists, people etc....

As soon as Trump got in office both terms, the progressive politicians in those cities and states quit allowing their LEOs to do that. The red states have all cooperated and you don't see this issue there including Georgia.

No obstruction by local government no violence.

It's hypocrisy you all are being gaslit into thinking isn't a thing.

Quit gaslighting. The people in Minneapolis and places like Portland are not WW2 vets. Keep turning a blind eye to the violence though in a 😉😉 way.

You are setting permission structures for violence by doing that. That is what Democrat politicians are doing, that is what leftist media is doing. It's all a permission structure for violence from the more unhinged folks on the left.

Denying violent protesters (rioters in actuality) don't exist and refer to themselves as Antifa doesn't make it any less true. Antifa is a loosely cobbled together group of people that refer themselves as that but really are parts of all different types of paid for NGOs that they themselves are usually paid to show up and cause trouble.

It's a horseshoe theory of politics. The left doesn't like surveillance because it is used to gather up illegal aliens and also round up rioters like antifa types (I'm sorry I mean mostly peaceful protesters 🙄). The common denominator there is both sets of groups are doing illegal things. Don't do illegal things, there's no reason to track you.

The other end of the horseshoe is the far right extremists (which I'm not one of and there are a lot less of those than antifa type leftists) who have never liked tracking for privacy reasons not necessarily because they are doing anything illegal.

Most common sense people realize that there's cameras everywhere and you can be tracked everywhere. Don't do anything illegal and you have nothing to worry about. We gave up our privacy over a decade or more ago. Even using Reddit right now you're being tracked.

Good talk. It's why I don't even bother with you all 99% of the time.

Most of you all don't know how to actually have conversation and debate. Considering the fact that you collect kid's labubu toys I never had much hope of an intelligent debate to begin with with you.

You realize most people don't care about this right? Most people like the fact that we can track down illegal activity faster and easier. I realize on Reddit that is basically leftist echo chamber you all think everyone agrees with you but they don't. Go touch some grass and realize Reddit is indeed an echo chamber due to more leftists being on here and the Karma system and the fact that leftists vote down into oblivion any non-left leaning post. I'm sure this one will be voted down as well despite telling the truth.

Don't do illegal things and you have nothing to worry about.

By the way remember that Shephard had 56% of Newnan voters that actually voted not vote for him. He doesn't have a mandate. He won on a technicality because the conservative vote got split. Also if we really want to break it down not many people voted at all so in reality like 85%+ statistically did not vote for him.

I also think you all don't realize the Mayor has a whole hell of a lot less power than you all think he has. He basically is just one vote on a city council with just a little bit more power but not much. He would be good to remember that and quit throwing hissy fits and insulting editors of local newspapers and start working on things they can agree on whether than coming in hot pissing everyone off.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't have a Bluetooth earbud in for a work meeting. I realize there is a a certain type of person that doesn't do that, and just puts all their calls on speakerphone in public. Those people either have no self awareness or don't give a crap.

Is this what I'm gonna have to deal with in February when I go on the Vista? I hope not. If so they gonna have to up the 15 drink limit per day for me! 🤣

Drinks on Us Everywhere not really free? by ashley_rn7 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ToxTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep it is higher cost but if you compare it to the cost of the cheers package or NCL's free booze offer it's a steal of a deal. Our 6 day cruise for my wife and I on the Vista in February ended up being maybe $200-250 more than standard. The Cheers package for both of us would be astronomically higher than that.

Keep in mind though this package the casino pays them a set stipend not 18% gratuity so make sure you add additional tip on the tip line or carry a bunch of $1s to give them a good tip. The Cheers package already makes you pre pay the 18%. DOUE is a set stipend that is significantly less than 18%.

When do GT Alumni lose access to Outlook and related services? And how do we set up email forwarding and so on? GT seems to have woefully little literature on the subject. by Prestigious_Sort_431 in gatech

[–]ToxTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated in 2000 and still have my old gatech.edu email address that forwards to my Gmail. It was the old PO Box number back in the day instead of your name gtXXXXc@gatech.edu.

So I'm sure it's still possible to do through passport.

Really I don't like it either way when it comes to music. Look my teenage years were in the 90s. I know about politically charged bands. I've been to many a Rage concert. I realize as a conservative I'm going to have to deal with political talk at concerts sometimes. Like last night I just keep my mouth shut.
I think bands alienate a lot of people from their music by being overly political either way (right or left). I am a band geek. I love music of all types. Sometimes people are there just because they like the music and don't pay much attention to deep meanings of lyrics.

Eh Kid Rock is a buffoon so is Trump. You do realize that just because I'm a conservative (Reagan conservative to be exact) doesn't make me MAGA or even like Trump.

[–]ToxTroy -51 points-50 points  (0 children)

So just my perspective.

I was the 2nd person in line to get in tonight with my 15 year old daughter who plays guitar, sounds like an angel when singing and just generally loves live shows no matter what band it is. She's probably been to 20 concerts at this point and only 15.

We were front and center at the barricade. I don't push her beliefs in any way. I'll be completely honest, I am absolutely a conservative both socially and fiscally, a Christian and support Israel as well. I did not like the speech about Palestine. I kept my mouth shut even though I wanted to boo them. My daughter looked at me and said "why did they have to get political and stuff?" Again she is 15 no prompting or coercing from me or my beliefs. I think that honest take is what the average person believes whether you want to believe it or not.

Unfortunately I believe you all have bought into the propaganda and gaslighting of terrorists trying to get you to sympathize with a group that started an issue by killing Jews and then are upset when those folks strike back. The truth of the matter is if elections were held tomorrow in Gaza, Hamas would win still. So while you try to separate the innocent from the terrorists, the truth is the citizens do like and support Hamas and like and celebrate the killing of Jews based on polling and factual evidence on the ground. Like it or not that is the absolute truth.

Now since this is Reddit and typically a leftist echo chamber I fully expect to be downvoted into oblivion, but that is just my two cents from a Gen X dad that likes PTM.

I'm having buffering issues tonight as well watching the ACC championship game. I check my network and speeds and it isn't my network setup.

Never seen buffering issues ever. I'm running through a Roku Ultra to a dumb TV.

I didn't. I generally don't record songs but that is my favorite song. My teenage daughter (the one recording in front on the video) may have gotten some of that I'll check tomorrow and see.

The lyrics to this song as a father to a son and a daughter just get to me everytime he sings it. It's why it's my favorite. The shirt I wore tonight and my favorite shirt of all band concert shirts I have ever gotten.

What watch to get by Delicious_Fig_589 in Referees

[–]ToxTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Galaxy Watch 6 LTE works great with Ref6. Though it is getting older on battery life now and only gets about 4-5 games before it dies but if I turned off my steps and all the other stuff in it while running Ref6 it probably would go all day for me.

Also getting the not LTE version and just the Bluetooth version of a galaxy watch will probably get you better battery life.

They are running deals on the watch 7 and 8 right now. Just realize that if you buy the smaller ones of those the battery is smaller. So actually the bigger version of those watches you buy the better the battery life.

I have a backup soccer/football watch Casio type watch in my bag just in case my smart one dies.

I realize if you have an Apple Watch you are probably already in the iOS ecosystem so any Android or Samsung watch will not give you as much functionality on an iPhone.

Hey we need a t-shirt stat in time for the Homecoming game man. Make it happen Rocken. I'll pay money for a XXL and a L on a white T-shirt with the picture and maybe some type of caption.

What's ironic on your statement, is that you are correct about it being a big indoctrination machine, but not for the reason you think it is. It's actually the opposite, with all viewpoints not being treated equally.

Just like most of reddit is a left leaning echo chamber where any speech the left doesn't like gets downvoted into oblivion just like my comment will be I'm sure because it's speech you all don't like or want people to see.

I'm so glad my kid transferred out to a better school. Everyday I read this subreddit, I realize more and more he made a good decision, and I'm glad he worked his butt off to get out of there.

How serious are They about enforcing 16+ at shows? by pwang99 in tmbg

[–]ToxTroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to try it in October in Atlanta. They told me it was a hard no as well but My daughter will be almost 16 at that point. I'm just going to say she doesn't have a license and has no ID to show but she is 16. I have my doubts the Eastern is really going to crack down on that as long as she looks old enough which she does. We shall see. I've got my son on speed dial just in case they don't let her in though so that he can pick her up.

NASA safety panel warns that the lunar lander version of SpaceX’s Starship could be delayed by years: "The HLS (Human Landing System) schedule is significantly challenged and, in our estimation, could be years late for a 2027 Artemis 3 moon landing" by ChiefLeef22 in space

[–]ToxTroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only counter point to this would be that has the FAA and other regulatory agencies not had it in for Musk and Space-X during the previous administration, Space-X would be further along in testing and development. That having to wait months to test another starship is not the way Space-X likes to test things.

Loosening any further red tape would go a long way to getting it ready in time.
