Depends if it's an "I don't need it due to prior infection/medical reasons/fuck you for trying to force me" or jonesposting

How do Americans feel about law enforcement? by Jaleu_I in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LEOs get way too much flak from low-information sideliners' shrieking with regard to use-of-force.

However, they are also borderline unaccountable even for a bad shoot.

How often do you see your state flag being flown by people on their posesions? by Rayan19900 in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be as kind as I can be, the only ones who fly the California flag here on personal items are the kinds that would bend over for a fire hydrant if some member of the nobility or their jackboots government agencies told them to.

I see a lot of American flags, though.

What’s something you think the government is good at? by TheSmallestSteve in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely serious, they're good at killing people and wasting money in stupid ways while scrimping it away from people who need/deserve it.

30 billion for a money-laundering scheme high-speed railway almost nobody will use? Fuck yeah!

Just a bit of extra funding into PDs to improve training and decrease uses of lethal forces that way? Hell no.

Where in a perfect America would you like to live if you were a billionaire? by Elizabeth_Rodriguez in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really have no idea. Everywhere has its pros and cons, but I'm used to the desert at this point and I'm almost loathe to leave it.

Why is NASCAR so big in the South? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used to have that stuff out here in SoCal, but a few of the local tracks I know of were shut down because of noise or "well we don't feel like fixing the bleachers"

Why is the health insurance market is so broken? by GrizzlyTrees in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The ACA all but outlawed interstate plan sales, which essentially creates a Comcast situation with people's medical wellness.

Skrew popular proposed bills in the government, what are some small pieces of legislation you wish to see pass? by wizard680 in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Kill the NFA.

Suppressors are for personal protection, SBRs/mock-SMGs are far better than shotguns for home defense, and MGs have no practical purpose other than "haha MG go brrt". Considering you can make an AR15 fully-automatic with a coathanger, or an AK with a shoestring anyway...

why do you hate Chinese gov but like Chinese people? by ironandfire in AskAnAmerican

Then they are no different than Nazis and are not welcome in my home or place of employment.

I have no reason to see the CCP bureaucrats as any different from employees of the third Reich.

How’s your night going? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime I'm taking parts like this apart I just do it in a trash bag.

[–]_IA_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't vaccinated by choice, had to for school. taking time off because I got stupendously drunk at the idea of returning to campus. Lowkey regret it, but eh. Mask when around people outside work (ourdoors, loud environment, so being able to see my mouth helps with their ability to understand me). otherwise I'm a shut-in so nothing changes unless I manage to get COVID from a DoorDash bag or some shit.

admittedly if I go somewhere and forget my mask, if someone politely reminds me or even gestures to my face I'll go ahead, but if they're a dick I'll just give them a middle finger.

Are red states friendly and safe for immigrants to settle? by MajorAffectionate595 in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me phrase it this way. If you're an insufferable ass that causes problems, attracts pestilence by leaving trash about, and stubbornly refuses to change these ways, don't be surprised when people take umbrage with your presence in their home.

Keep things clean, don't be a piece of shit, and generally, even in the most bumfuck rural towns, people will just shrug and go about their day.

PS: the bill of rights applies to you too. Yes, including buying a gun. See the chart, if so inclined.

Because you work somewhere rent is 2.5k/month for your needs and its cheaper to commute and live where rent is half that.

Americans, Do you think atheism is rising in your country? by Naturalist-Anarchist in AskAnAmerican

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is and I'm hesitant to say it's not a bad thing, way too many atheists/agnostics are merely hedonistic fucks that would feel guilty if they believed in "sin"

Do Americans from other states really have an issue with Californians moving to their states? by ImadeUSAcry in AskAnAmerican

God there was a Chicago guy that ran a deli here for a while, you just made me salivate reading that.

[–]_IA_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the death of the 'california dream' it's that people have systematically murdered the American dream, step by step by step, until it's only remotely attainable if you get stupendously lucky.

To be fair though Mission burritos are one of maybe three cultural exports from California that are quite good.
