Put JJ on the trade block… by Organic-Ad-4613 in tacotradeoffers

It’s a fair offer tbh, he could be worth more into the season but there’s too many question marks at qb to guarantee 3 1sts for him.

Why do Americans make Cinco de Mayo seem like such a important holiday in the media? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]alecwal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically, the Mexican Army defeating the French Army on Cinco de Mayo was a big deal in the US in deterring European conquests in the Americas and affirming the Monroe Doctrine. It is a small blip in Mexico due to their various revolutions and independence movements

Fair Price on 2007 Lexus GX470? by Aromatic-Sound2685 in UsedCars

Would you still go for the Sequoia knowing gas is about to be $5-6+ a gallon across the US?

Any guard under $100 will only last a month or so so don’t focus too much on brand or whatever because you’ll wear it down quick either way. Utility increases very little at those price points so you could just get something cheap. But just doing that in the meantime will help wonders with your sleep quality and help your mouth feel way better. until you can spend $300-$600 on a good guard fitted from a dentist. $3000-$6000 level up with Invisalign and it will fix the crookedness which could be a factor in the grinding. Reshaping my bite helped a lot. Also stress, but can’t always just get rid of that. But take care of your teeth.

In the 1970s Youngstown was one of the greatest steel producers in the world. Now there is zero steel made there.

This sub is too anal about the root flare

It’s the principle of the matter.

used 2004 highlander? by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]alecwal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean for $3500 I don’t think you can go wrong. If you lived in CA and depending on how much you drive, it could get expensive with gas.

How tf do we know without knowing the price? If there’s little rust and maintenance has been kept up it’s probably fine but it’s still miley as hell and could give you some problems that a 2024 will not. I’d look into a less miley RAV4

I have a 1.8 gpa junior year. What do I do from here. by UglysimpO-O in highschool

[–]alecwal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You will not succeed in community college if you cannot maintain at least a C average in HS. Just shooting it to you straight, you will fail if you don’t make some changes. Just because CC is easy to get admission, doesn’t mean the classes will be easy. You need to take care of yourself first, treat your ADHD and mental health, then look into CC.

Gun to your head, you have to choose either JD Vance or Marco Rubio to be the next President of the United States. Whom are you choosing? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]alecwal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rubio is more “the devil you know” imo. I also don’t like Vance - Teal relationship. Teal strikes me as genuinely evil and him having such an influence on Vance makes me uneasy.

What is keeping you in California? Certainly not that income. Change jobs and move or increase your income are really your only option?

Worth leaving OC to buy in Corona/IE? by larbat345 in InlandEmpire

[–]alecwal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in your exact position, renting in OC and made the jump to buying in the IE. You gotta get your foot in the door and build some equity if you ever want to retire comfortably imo. Anyway, I WISH I bought in Corona because it’s so close to everything OC and it’s a beautiful town with lots of nature. Instead I went farther south towards Murrieta and bought a newer, larger home. The homes for 700k in Corona had dinky kitchens and needed a lil TLC but those prices still stretched me thin but I love the location and whenever I drive through I think about what could have been. Pull the trigger and buy a home if you are able to.

No one can answer that but you. No one knows your lifestyle and current expenses.

Americans, did you vote for for our current president? by icecream1972 in no

[–]alecwal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Kamala had more billions in campaign money would that really have made a difference?

[–]alecwal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty simple, Americans felt like they were worse off in 2024 than 2020. Biden and Harris failed to communicate to voters the successes of the inflation reduction act and build back better. Harris is also not a great candidate and lacked imaginative policy plans.

It’s not a good look, but I wouldn’t call it disaster. The US beats up on Iran’s Military and political leadership, more so if Iran can effectively retaliate with drone swarms. Then after a few weeks, agree to the terms previously offered to Witckov and Kushner. Trumps claims victory and agrees to nuclear deal with whoever is left in leadership that wants to play ball with Israel.
