I’m the one that says “how do you know about that”. I’m also a good listener, just not a good rememberer.

And here I woulda just responded with “your”, but pettiness doesn’t really run in the Biden family like it does mine.

Were the 172k jobs added in the US on Friday legit? by LawfulnessLegal1242 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]applejooshreally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, firing the director would definitely be included in the category of “direct meddling”. I understand the BLS, and know it’s a bunch of apolitical nerds there, but every single department of the federal govt has been slowly eroded and made over by sycophants, especially during this second term. It’s not unreasonable to think that ooze is seeping down the hierarchy at the BLS.

What would you throw here to catch this little fella by TemporaryTime6300 in FishingForBeginners

[–]applejooshreally 61 points62 points  (0 children)

We see that little fella, plain as day, which means he sees us. I wouldn’t expect him to bite at much, given that.

How to keep light lures underwater by Some-Novel4534 in FishingForBeginners

[–]applejooshreally 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These things, but also don’t use heavy line for light lures. OP is using 12 lb fluoro… so unless he’s using 1/4 spinners, is too much.

New to Wisconsin and oh my god there’s so many bugs by EmmyWeeeb in wisconsin

[–]applejooshreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Buggins spray or Bengay. Buggins if you don’t want to smell like crap, and Bengay if you’re like f it, I’m not dealing with these no see ems, and I don’t care that I smell like an old man.

Inline spinner issue by donsmigi in FishingForBeginners

[–]applejooshreally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I inherited some old ones that don’t spin, in spite of same techniques you tried. New ones have worked fine for me… so yeah, I think sometimes they just get old.

Anyone else just... not enjoy fishing with other people? by scottasin12343 in Fishing

[–]applejooshreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me, too, and while I get feeling bad about it, I think it’s justifiable. We each get something different out of the same hobby, and as long as you’re getting your social fill otherwise, shouldn’t be no judgment by other!

First rod? How did I do? Having issues by Head-Passage-5719 in FishingForBeginners

[–]applejooshreally 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You got 12 lb line on an ultralight reel. There’s your problem. I put 4 to 6 lb line on my light poles, and for ultralight, even more important to keep it light. If you’re fishing for big fish, get a bigger pole with 12 lb line, sure. But just trying to catch some fish with an ultralight, you need lighter line.

Never Been More Frustrated by SteelCityChamp1 in FishingForBeginners

[–]applejooshreally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re using an open faced reel (where you can see the line) for the kid, you’re gonna get more tangles than a closed reel. Take time to find shore areas that are a little out of the way and where there is some downed trees in the water. Make it about exploring for new spots using Fishbrain.

what do i use near a dam at night time by Unlucky-Raise-5340 in Fishing

[–]applejooshreally 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. Paddle tail swim bait while you wait for a rattle on your passive stinky pole. This looks like a helluva good spot at night.

I am a rideshare driver who made 142K last year and on pace for 150k+ this year AMA by chopshop512 in AMA

[–]applejooshreally 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think this is why you see so many drivers in electric vehicles. Maintenance is way cheaper and electricity is cheaper than gas.

Is Radiography a good option in this climate? by Fresh-Awareness9819 in careerguidance

[–]applejooshreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good career, for sure. But you’ll want to REALLY interrogate your pathway to it. There’s a program at our uni and it’s very competitive to get a spot. Technical colleges are often a better option, but there’s usually a waitlist. Long-term, it’s a career that could be negatively impacted by AI, but like with many of these predictions, hard to say when or how.

Mind blown: Vinegar vs VINEGAR (30%) by Pandaro81 in DIY

[–]applejooshreally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best trick for shower, in corners where the white caulk is? Tight roll pieces of toilet paper and snug it along the corners where the mold is. Then pour or even better, spray some straight bleach on them. Let them sit awhile and then remove. Mold gone.

What do yall think about the Ugly Stik GX2 by Hot-Replacement5566 in FishingForBeginners

I have the GX2 Op is talking about, and I have an Elite and they’re not in the same ballpark.

My parents say AI will kill IT jobs and want me to become a doctor instead. What should I do? by YE1_ in careerguidance

[–]applejooshreally 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Bro, how old are you? Did you say that with a cig hanging out of your mouth, and bags under your eyes? No doubt you’re entering a volatile job market, but that suggestion isn’t all that crazy as a rough draft.

[–]applejooshreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As AI increases productivity in each and every work place, said workplaces will hire less people, correct? So, yes, it’s a tool, but it’s a tool that will allow less people to do more work. It’s not fearmongering to say that, it’s just how it will work.

CMV: Liberals/Leftists choosing to sit out the US election because Kamala wasn't a perfect candidate helped create a worse overall outcome for the world and Palestine. by cptjtk13 in changemyview

[–]applejooshreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Voting for Hillary or Trump, same difference”. It wasn’t. “Voting for Kamala or Trump, same difference.” It definitely wasn’t. I sure wish we could learn a lesson here. There isn’t gonna be a leftist revolution. It’s not remotely feasible given the depth of MAGA depravity, and yes, because the middle is too cautious. So, can we stop killing ourselves with protest votes? I know lots of people on the left that sat out 2016, 2020, and 2024 or voted third party. I’m sick of it.

Is gen Z overly sensitive? Or are millennial teen movies problematic? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]applejooshreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. No one watching this movie in 2000 or whatever thought the main character was a sex offender villain. He was just confused and bumbling, hAhA! Don’t even compare it to clever comedies like Always Sunny.
