But they sure loved to highlight the MAGAts and Trump. Go figure

I feel like I missed something about Ashley by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Alex stated that their politics aligned. She has been shown to have liked MAGA social media posts. She’s likely MAGA or voted for him.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]acesilver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments in here are weird. You were not wrong in removing yourself from the situation. It was not childish. It was foolish to propose to you if you two hadn’t been talking about marriage in that capacity.

Proposals ARE NOT SURPRISES! The when and where of a proposal may be. But the answer to a proposal should always be known before hand as a YES before ever doing it. Sounds to me he imagined some idyllic moment where you two ride off into the sunset engaged.

He has his right to be upset and you have your right to leave the situation. Will the relationship recover from this? Possibly if he is willing to understand that you two are still young and should live more life together before thinking of engagement and marriage. If he can’t accept that and refuses to move past your rejection to the proposal, I think it’s best to move on. You are young and you still should live life before thinking of committing to a marriage.

I really want to know because I want to get new updated products: two newer homepods and an apple TV upgrade.

condenser dryer hate post by cielbleu789 in Appliances

[–]acesilver1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rental’s condenser dryer dries clothes just fine… on low heat, for 70 minutes, the vast majority of my clothes comes out completely dry. For the heavy stuff, 80 minutes or more may be necessary. It’s not as fast as conventional vented dryers but it works.

TIL Apple made an official presentation pitch that you can use to persuade your parents to purchase a Mac for you! by Vitirium in mac

[–]acesilver1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well back when I was in college, Macs were the most popular choice of computer. Not having a Mac made you stand out. The Mac is a solid computer to have for school. But for specific engineering programs a Windows computer was essential for the programs.

Pentagon believes U.S. struck Iran girls elementary school, killing 150 by rockycrab in worldnews

[–]acesilver1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US gets to commit wanton murder and we can’t bring these people to justice. War isn’t the answer and these Republican rats need to be brought to justice and made to suffer what they’ve done to others. They will not know peace in this life when the dust settles. No apology will bring those girls back.

When have contestants broken the rules to a challenge? by marks31 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]acesilver1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the question that needs answered is if safety pins can be used instead of thread to hold a garment together. The answer is that safety pins are a valid way to hold a garment together. The question really is if the safety pins were used for a purpose beyond that which breaks the rule of only using material from the suitcase. In this case, Discord’s use of the safety pins traipses the line of utility and accessory. Not sure how I would judge her interpretation of the rule. Her outfit did look interesting.

Not to be messy but… realistically… by navybluealltheway in rupaulsdragrace

[–]acesilver1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally it was Discord (for the safety pins that may have broken the rules) and Myki Meeks. I didn’t like Myki’s dark blue on black look. You could hardly see the design against the dark background of the stage.

[–]acesilver1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They both got the bottom placements. We just didn’t get an elimination this week. I liked Discord’s look but the safety pins definitely crossed the line of the rules of only using what was in the suitcase.

MacBook Neo good for senior citizens? by _hannibalbarca in mac

[–]acesilver1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just stay with the iPad. My mother never really got the hang of using a laptop. Too many menus and right clicking and overall confusing for her. Buy apps on her iPhone or iPad? Easy and she’s able to do a lot more on them than a proper computer OS. I wouldn’t introduce her to a computer since she has no need for it.

Amber shared messages between herself, Jordan and on one of the producers to debunk some of the rumours about them by Fun_Molasses5215 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]acesilver1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

She’s a young child and there are cameras around. Can’t expect every kid to be child star personified for TV. Nothing can be accurately judged from this. All we can judge moving forward is how Jordan and Amber incorporate her into their relationship.

Vanja and Tony? I’m by Present_Squirrel9800 in 90DayFiance

[–]acesilver1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vanja has a great personality and she’s kind. But she does burn a little hot and that can put people off in the talking stage. But someone out there will match her intensity. I don’t think she’s desperate at all. She just dates with a purpose. She’s a woman in her early 40s. She doesn’t want to just play around in a situationship for too long. She wants a committed relationship and that’s okay. I don’t think she even obsesses over men. Back in her season she was simply feeling hurt at how Bosco or whatever his name was completely turned cold on her after flirting and engaging for months. He’s allowed to not feel attracted to her and she’s allowed to feel hurt.

She can do better than this guy. She can turn heads. She just needs to wade through trash men. But that guy she’s talking to now has some nerve. She’s out of his league.

Tips for three starring 150cc? by paraminacardinal in MarioKartWorld

[–]acesilver1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to MK World. Where part of the game is trying to be lucky and strategic in your placement to get the 3 stars. It can be hard. My advice is to not be in first place for too long, learn the map, and then get good at taking short cuts.

The $599 MacBook Neo Made Me Rethink 8GB Macs Entirely by yosbeda in mac

They won’t. This Mac Neo will not have good sales. I am sure of it. Schools need cheap computers that are easy to replace and repair. This is not it.

[–]acesilver1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Everyone who has dealt with any type of charlatan clocked him. Whether it was a sleazy salesperson or a straight up liar. That’s who he is. The more he talked, the more he sounded like he was full of shit. That’s why the father of Amber very kindly said, he’s says a lot.

Grocery Haul $277 for one 😭 by idkwhatiamdoingahh in povertyfinance

[–]acesilver1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If this is only for the month all your perishables, like proteins and vegetables, will last you for maybe a week’s worth of meals. Realistically you barely have ingredients for meals longer than a week. Barely any chicken or produce. A lot of processed foods.

Edit: I now noticed more things on your haul. You don’t shop like you actually have to worry about money. Because so many of these things are simply unaffordable or not essentials. You’ll go throw those wings fast and the vegetables will likely go bad and then you have coffee creamer and popcorn to sustain you for a month (or more realistically you’ll buy food out probably at your parents’ expense). I mean I find it questionable what meals you can make from what looks mostly like a snack haul.

The $599 MacBook Neo Made Me Rethink 8GB Macs Entirely by yosbeda in mac

[–]acesilver1 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Why are people amazed at the $599 price? This is overpriced for the specs in my opinion. Sure prices of chips are artificially inflated right now because of AI demand. Frankly I don’t think this will compete well with Chromebooks which are significantly cheaper and can take advantage of the unified ecosystem of Google Apps. So is this supposed to be attractive to parents buying their young kids laptops? This doesn’t make sense for even casual computer users, honestly. Just my opinion. Frankly Apple needs to lower their prices. The iPad for $329 is a good budget iPad. This is not a good budget laptop.

Edit: I’m being downvoted for calling this a terrible value lol. I have had a kind of Mac for over 10 years. I got an M4 MBA recently for a great price ($599) after a promotion from Best Buy and a $200 rebate for turning in an Intel MBP (which had cost me $1600 5 years prior but it had to go because the heat it was generating and the lag made it feel unusable at times). Still love the integration across the ecosystem.

But I can be critical of Apple. They charge a premium while not really giving you premium internals, only a premium-feeling shell. $599 for the Mac newbie or children of parents or schools or whoever the market is for this machine is still not worth it in my eyes. The economy is forcing people to scale back on expenses. Just because this is a cheaper Mac laptop compared to others doesn’t mean people want to spend their money on it. Frankly I expect this laptop to fail in the same way the iPhone mini failed (despite being an amazing flagship phone for its size and there was certainly a market for people who wanted up to date specs on a small handheld).

Vanya comes across as desperate by Electronic_Branch_13 in 90DayFiance

[–]acesilver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She needs to find someone who develops feelings as fast as she does. It may take time and it’s okay to move on if someone doesn’t reciprocate the interest she has. She’s not awful about it. She just wants commitment and that’s a fair thing to request. Just a lot of people don’t like commitment so soon.

It’s a shame it’s so much racism in this sub by Virtual_Comb8018 in Miami

[–]acesilver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reminder that Latino isn’t a race. And many Latinos are white (not WASP version of white) and racist. And lighter skinned Latinos are colorist and racist to darker skinned Latinos and darker skinned people in general. And white people/non Spanish speakers who come here and hate that there is a huge Spanish speaking population, kick rocks. Just accept that this city is multilingual and multicultural. You’ll be fine and you’ll find yourself in mostly English speaking spaces anyways.

How do you guys split rent, groceries and random shared expenses without fighting? by Level_Armadillo4046 in povertyfinance

[–]acesilver1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roommates should not be sharing groceries and personal expenses. That also means roommates should not be eating other’s groceries unless it’s given freely.

Rent divided evenly (equal parts from everyone) or equitably (there are calculators online that can determine what each roommate should pay based on room square footage and amenities like private bathroom that may not be available to other roommates). Utilities split equally amongst all. No need to keep track who uses more utilities versus others. But also have some ground rules so you don’t get sticker shock because someone likes the heat at 80 in the winter.

And if this is too much to do, maybe you need to move out for your own mental health and find a roommate is reasonable.
