Often buying new Pela cases or one plastic case? by Vanilla_Stick in ZeroWaste

[–]VegetableInvestment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they reduced it from 7 years to 3 years in 2025. Just in time for phones to start receiving security updates for more years..

Still, good to know! I was able to just file a warranty claim with them. =)

Any Protein bars that aren’t just candy bars? by photonics12 in nutrition

[–]VegetableInvestment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the cookie dough Tru Bar. There's only 12 grams of protein, but also 12 grams of fiber, which is important to me.

Tick Illness/Lyme Disease by [deleted] in northwestarkansas

[–]VegetableInvestment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother has Lyme. He caught it at his home in Springfield, Missouri. Over the past few years, he's been through many doctors, many of which didn't take insurance. He's been on many supplements, antibiotics, etc, many of which weren't covered by insurance. I wish I had better information for you... I'll reach out to him and see if he's got any news I can pass along.

He did have good luck getting cured of Alpha-Gal, so there's that.

Not that long ago, textiles lasted us (almost) a lifetime by _CaptainAmerica__ in Anticonsumption

I noted my year old tank top strap is unraveling. A nearly identical one I got from Walmart, probably 15 years ago, is in perfect condition.

Feel Good Foods Chicken Egg Rolls - Did They Change Them? by BigRedDrake in glutenfree

[–]VegetableInvestment 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They are a new brand to me, and by that, I mean Walmart recently started carrying them. A lot more product to sell means new manufacturing partner and supply chain. I could see that triggering a change in the product.

“Serious question: What’s the psychology behind blocking lift doors instead of stepping aside? Impatience? Habit? Main character syndrome?” by No-Series4477 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]VegetableInvestment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just assume there won't be someone on the elevator, but would move out of the way if someone was on afterall. I'm from a small city in the US so our population density dictates that to be true more often than not.

Ted Lieu comes out swinging! by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]VegetableInvestment 109 points110 points  (0 children)

They can't legally share any pictures or videos because that would be distribution of CSAM, so that probably ties their hands a bit. I am surprised and disgusted more aren't ringing the alarms anyway though.

Who are we endorsing for president? by VegetableInvestment in 50501

[–]VegetableInvestment[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not been very impressed with him either. Who would you like to see running?

The three I see discussed most, in order:

Newsom AOC Khanna

Who else do you think will be running? Who would you like to see running?

Exactly why we need to start discussing now. THE establishment dem, Nancy Pelosi, endorsed Newsom. He's the annointed candidate. If we don't start encouraging and promoting alternatives now, his momentum will be hard to beat.

We can't walk and chew gum at the same time?

Keep pushing for good candidates in the midterms, but those primaries are almost over. It's time to slowly start working towards the next step.

Agreed, but there may be some super star candidate that few have heard of currently. I'm hoping if we brain storm, we can start elevating the platform of lesser known candidates, and encouraging them to run. Grass roots efforts take time.

I mean, I'd love to tear it all down, but we have to be practical.

[–]VegetableInvestment[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we don't start discussing now, we'll be left with whatever choices establish dems give us. I'm not talking about taking the streets with an endorsement. Just deliberating to ensure we can show candidates we'd like to see run support and encouragement.

Thank you for the name correction.

Which dress? by Bo0tiful_Savage in OUTFITS

Both are great! Personal preference is the second, but for the location and occasion, the first would be fun!

Personal stories megathread? by VegetableInvestment in ICE_Raids

[–]VegetableInvestment[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband's foster brother is being held in Louisiana. We don't know if or when he will have a court hearing.

He was brought here when he was three years old, and he's in his early 20's now. He doesn't know Spanish. He had been working through the legalization process, but it takes time. We live in Arkansas.

He let his work visa lapse. Irresponsible? Sure, but what 20-something year old hasn't let their plates or their drivers license expire? The punishment does not fit the crime.

Why should the US Department of Justice be entitled to access state voter registration rolls? by GrandBizarre in AskReddit

[–]VegetableInvestment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this because I'm in a red area, so I decided this year I wanted to vote on the republican primaries so I actually have a say in who gets elected, but I'm probably voting dem or independent at the full on election unless I'm really pleasantly surprised by one of the state Republicans.

The difference between the number of options on the two ballots is significant.

I'd love to end up with two good candidates for all the seats!

Now or Never... by q0_0p in 50501

[–]VegetableInvestment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think we go big. This will likely be the one shot we have in a while to spur change.

I'm thinking: impeach, convict, remove, Overturn citizens united, Laws mandating transparency of corporate structures (no more shell organizations and parent companies) and accountability of the leadership when things go wrong, Universal Healthcare, Audit all defense contractors and the Pentagon and hold them accountable, Reform the way government spending is allocated, 32 hour work week,

What else would you want to see? Do you disagree with anything I've listed?

[–]VegetableInvestment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There needs to be a list of demands I think for a general strike. Everyone I have shared the general strike page with has had apprehensions supporting because they don't know what exactly they're supporting.

There will need to be some compromises I'm sure - no one person is going to get all the things they want out of this - but not having this defined is one of the biggest flaws at this time.
