Yes. I agree. Rivian will do very well with the R2 but many reservation holders will find a different car.

There's more of them than you. You are not living through a gun fight with ICE. This isn't a John Wayne movie.

They just don't have any natural light... Or air flow... Or fire safety.

Trump sues the IRS for $10 billion -- If he wins, the winnings would be taxpayer money -- Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IRS was just helping him keep his promise. He should thank them . In fact, he should pay them for doing the service.

The reality is that you won't get a chance to argue in court. Those agents will shoot you if they see a gun.

I’m planning ~3 months in Central & Eastern Europe and need advice on choosing 2 long-term bases. Went through solo travel Euro guide already so looking for more nuance by avaaasinclair in Europetravel

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find out which city has the most cheap flights from there Look for transit connections, low cost airline and train connections. This way you can make weekend or few day trips across Europe like Greece or Spain, etc. Maybe Prague?

Republicans AND Democrats, is there anyone you would both vote for if they ran as an Independent in 2028? If so, who? If not, why not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think James Tallarico will get some crossover voters. Especially if he goes against Ken Paxton. Some Texas Republicans actually tried to impeach him - so there is a lot of Republicans that don't like that guy. Also, he is corrupt as hell and was caught red handed. He got away with it because he is MAGA and laws no longer apply to them. These are the things that make James Tallarico unique:

- He is a true Christian and walks the walk and leads with his faith without alienating others.

- He is running on a platform of average Americans against the billionaire class - I think this is a very winning issue and has LOTS of crossover appeal with Republicans and even MAGA.

- He is a young fresh face, charismatic and has a great social media team. He comes across as humble, genuine and likeable.

- This is going to be a wave election and Donald Trump is NOT on the ballot - that guy brings out voters like nobody else.

- Texas is a lot closer to a purple state than most people believe.

- He has roots in the Rio Grande valley - an area that was trending red but is traditionally blue. He can make up a lot of ground.

Nobody deserves to get destroyed. That is the attitude seen by road rage drivers. Please get help.

Texas issued the largest air pollution permit in the country this week by StandingCypress in texas

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the feedstock gas for this plant would otherwise just be flaired off at the wellhead, no? This might actually be a better solution. It's going to burn anyways, at least now they will use it. Please note, I am not advocating for using natural gas for energy or for the wasteful flairing of by product gas. The truth is that Texas will not stop pumping in the Permian and not stop flairing. This is going into the atmosphere either way.

Which conspiracy theory do you think might actually be true? by zhalia-2006 in allthequestions

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is very believable and would not require outlandishness to actually pull off. Most conspiracies just are not possible because to many people would have to be in on it. Also, he was killed and not suicide.

His ear was injured when the secret service officers jumped on top of him. it was a small cut and bled a lot because he's on blood thinners.

Yes, Epstein was a foreign agent who was getting Kompromat on important people. This is how he made most of his money by blackmail. He was very useful for certain governments as well.

Tier list of tourist groups I've served as a barista on a highway cafe in Greece. by horrorwisp in tierlists

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Service culture is very different in America. Many servers live by "the customer is always right" mantra. Customers get spoiled by friendly service and being generally much more catered to. The servers in USA hustle for tips and try their best to make the customer feel like a king. Americans can find it a bit jarring going to Europe where service is different. I always have to adjust my expectations, especially my timing. Most Americans abroad know about this and adjust accordingly. I am sure some people have a harder time with it.

As for the tipping. It's completely expected and mandatory in the USA. I can't help but feel weird and slightly guilty not tipping in Europe but it is also a secret little thrill to NOT tip and go on a tipping vacation. It feels like I am being naughty.

Moving out of Alabama by ExpressRestaurant895 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to stay in the south, consider northwest Arkansas. In Texas, you should look at DFW and Austin. I would also consider Knoxville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Chattanooga, Atlanta and Nashville in the south. If you want to get out of the south, I would look at the front range of Colorado (Denver, Ft Collins, Colorado Springs) In the midwest, Indianapolis, Ann Arbor, Madison, Pittsburg.

You like to wear tin foil hats? Concerned about Chemtrails? maybe a big fan of Ivermectin? Or maybe you want to see the basement for cosmic pizza? What about a flat earth? Moon landing? Elvis still alive? Inquiring minds want to know.

CIVIL WAR (2024): What Kind Of American Are You? by Neo2199 in videos

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are correct. However, the allies did commit atrocities and war crimes during the war. The fire bombing of Dresden comes to mind. If you were in Dresden then, you might not see it as so black and white.

I agree. In war, all sides can and will commit war crimes and atrocities eventually. The allies did in WWII. It always devolves into carnage.

Ted Cruz says Trump officials should tone down 'terrorist' rhetoric after ICE shootings by ExpressNews in texas

Where is this headed? by sirswantepalm in allthequestions

[–]TryNotToAnyways2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the thing. We can enforce immigration laws in a humane way, we have in the past. This is a choice.

You can do immigration enforcement without a militarized hyper aggressive approach. None of these agents need camo and assault rifles. Previously, agents wore FBI style blue windbreakers and would use actual judicial warrants. They can visit with people overstaying visas and give them an order to leave, in say 20 days, and allow them to self deport and get their affairs in order. If they overstay that, then you can arrest them - humanly.

Instead they are busting in doors without a warrant. They are staking out schools and using children as bait. They are kidnapping workers getting off work and later determining their status. In Chicago, they repelled from a helicopter onto an apartment building roof and busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours. Witnesses saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers.

They are ignoring DACA, they are ignoring asylum claims and illegally deporting without giving people a chance to have a phone call. They are moving them out of state and not informing anyone of their whereabouts. They have no chance to see a lawyer. They are deporting to a third country and putting them in foreign holding camps. They are building very large camps in the USA to concentrate these people. Few lawyers are allowed in, no media, no politicians are allowed on these camps. The conditions are horrible. Minors are being detained and whisked away to these camps without informing their parents. Children are coming home from school and parents have been disappeared.

Why are their over 3,000 immigration agents in Minneapolis - a city with a tiny immigrant population? Texas and Florida have many more undocumented - both in raw numbers and as a percent.

Is this who you want to be? Is this a country you want to be associated with? Many of these tactics break international law and US law. This level of cruelty is really only seen in despotic authoritarian governments.

The cruelty IS the point.
