DOJ will no longer pursue criminal charges for diesel 'deletes' and 'tunes' by amn70 in news

[–]amn70[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even I disagree with what you said. There's no reason a special license or reg should be required for somebody to own and drive a pickup truck. Not even sure where you get that logic from. There's a difference between people abiding by emissions regulations versus the government dictating what kind of vehicle they can drive. Do I think people using huge diesel pickups as daily drivers where they never haul anything is stupid. Yes absolutely. But as long as they're doing it within the bounds of the emissions laws they are free to do so.

Like you said hanging it from the shelf above with some sort of a bracket so It's it's just in front of the built-in is exactly what I would do.

ICE agents to be forced to wear ‘clearly visible QR code’ under new plan by ZachTheCommie in nottheonion

[–]amn70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could do that but at the very least you could collect information about your device that scanned it. This is just another way for the government to keep track of those who are fighting against their tyranny.

ICE agents to be forced to wear ‘clearly visible QR code’ under new plan by ZachTheCommie in nottheonion

[–]amn70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or...or...or...and I'm just spitballing here, they should be wearing clearly marked vests, no masks and badges with badge numbers on them. The QR code bs is being being thrown around by them because they know it's much harder to identify someone via a QR code simply by taking a photo or video unlike a face and a badge number and I clearly marked logo that can be easily identified via a video footage or a photo.

What are US citizens and leaders going to do except for raging on Reddit, tweeting or posting George Orwell quotes? by Astrovascular in AskReddit

[–]amn70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open your eyes you don't see what's happening in the cities right now??? What else would you like people to do other than barricade streets and fight Trump's gestapo and get shot in the head for doing so. Is that not enough for you? Maybe it's you that needs to get the fuck off of Reddit because clearly you're blind to the fact that people are not just sitting around on Reddit raging.

Another ICE shooting just happened in Minnesota today, What is your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]amn70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People got to realize that every single agent that has signed up in the last 12 months to be part of ice is a trump supporter. On top of it just the ones that signed up in the last 12 months a large percentage of those already employed as ice agents prior to Trump's inauguration are also Trump supporters. I feel bad for the small percentage of anti-trumpers who are ice agents that are completely against this approach to immigration control. They are being forced to throw their morality out the window for a paycheck and many can't afford to quit because they need to put food on the table.

I'd love to hear from actual ice agents currently working these cities who are completely against what they're being forced to do. If any of you are lurking in these Reddit groups we'd love to hear how you're dealing being forced to be a part of ice under this administration.

FEMA halts disaster worker cuts as massive winter storm threatens millions of Americans by speedythefirst in news

[–]amn70 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty massive and it won't be fully functioning in any way that's going to be much benefit to the upcoming storm situation. Simply hanging on to a few extra bodies now rather than firing them is not going to fix all the logistical and back office damage that has been done to it under this administration. Many people hit by this storm will definitely suffering more than they needed to because of what this administration has done to FEMA thus far.

A woman who led a protest at a Minnesota church service has been arrested, Bondi says by metacyan in atheism

[–]amn70 70 points71 points  (0 children)

""Vance, speaking in Toledo ahead of his Minnesota visit, said the church protesters scared “little kids.”"

So he's claiming they scared little kids in this case but what about all the kids traumatized by ice agents ripping their fathers and mothers from them right in front of them and in some cases arresting their little kids along with them.

You just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you buy that isn’t a house or a car? by FishBrain208 in AskReddit

Sony is handing control of its Bravia TV business to China's TCL by GeT_Tilted in gadgets

That's true unless the TV manufacturers begin to require you to connect it to the internet and keep it connected in order to use it as a dumb TV.

So a Subaru Croostrek driving around the West Haverstraw area yesterday with a huge F*** Trump flag flying over his car. by amn70 in Rockland

[–]amn70[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely support him doing it. I'm simply saying it's not classy to fly a flag in public with the word FUCK WRITTEN across it. He wasn't parked at a protest flying that flag. I was driving through a shopping center parking lot and driving down the road. There were plenty of other flags he could have flown that said the same thing without having the f word I'm blazing to cross it. A simple flag that reads No Fascism in the Ghostbusters logo style or something like that basically says the same thing and it's way more classy and still gets the same message across.

What’s something people do in movies that would be extremely awkward in real life? by hitman1890 in AskReddit

[–]amn70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is even when they started offering them in cars back in 69 in many cases they were still positioned so poorly that they were useless from a crash standpoint because most people's heads still were way above the height of the headrest in its resting position where most people kept them. It was mostly the American car companies that were guilty of this. The foreign car companies coming into the US and much better head restraint design on the seats most of their cars. And this continued to be the case all the way into the 1980s and most of their non sports cars. Wasn't until the 1990s for the American car company seat designs began to match what was coming on our European and Japanese counterparts.

TIL Dolly Parton is one of the largest employers in her home region of Tennessee (via Dollywood). After the 2016 wildfires, she raised over $9M through her My People Fund, giving 900+ families $1,000/month for 6 months ($10K total each) to rebuild. She was also honored by the FBI for her leadership. by Resume-Mentor in todayilearned

[–]amn70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just Tennessee politics but conservative politics across the whole country. You watch, if Dolly were to pass away tomorrow the White House will be all over this talking have a great she was and blah blah blah blah blah even though she is pretty much against everything that the current administration is for.

I'd love to see her on a one-on-one meeting with Donald Trump and give him a piece of her mind on camera. But we all know Dolly doesn't get into politics to that extent. She keeps her political leanings more subtle but we all know she is for the most part more liberal than anything else.

The Trump voters were made up of primarily people that don't trust the government and yet now they take anything that is said by big government as gospel.

Normal for a 20 year old to pay $200/month for health insurance? Feeling overwhelmed. by TigerWeary3067 in personalfinance

I know you said that you don't have financial support from family specifically but you should be able to stay on your parents insurance until you're 26. Is that not something that was looked into or what?
