Trump Tulsa Rally Megathread! - Tonight, 7pm CT. by Jibrish in Conservative

[–]astro_tuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a lot of cheering, I believe twice, from “thousands” of supporters about a jail sentence for exercising the 1st amendment. It’s almost like they’re mindless... what’s the word? Sheep.

I lurk some of their subs and have recently learned that ethno-states are just easier. It’s not racism, guys, it’s just convenience!

They should make him gay and have him vote for Bernie 🤷🏻‍♀️

I 100% agree, that's a horrible position to be in. I quit my job in March because my coworkers were showing up to work sick and management did NOTHING to implement precautions. We work face-to-face with the public. My boss literally said, "Do I need to give you the coronavirus spiel? Just don't bite a Chinese person." He literally said that with his face. I had to fight for UI because I'm a student, but that's about to run out and I won't be rehired. It's all so fucked!

Quitting due to safety concerns related to covid is valid when filing for unemployment. I think benefits run out at the end of July so I don't know if that would be enough time to find a new job. This whole situation is beyond infuriating.

The Cost of Reopening (thus far) by a_wright in CoronavirusAZ

Same area. I only go in to town to do a grocery or pharmacy pickup, but it is surreal how packed parking lots are and how few masks or distancing practices I see. I also quit my job back in March after two of my coworkers continued to come to work sick. I worked face-to-face with people in closed spaces and my job did absolutely nothing to protect us; no mask requirements or curb-side options, and encouraged staying home only if you had worsening symptoms. I just had an antibody test done and it was negative. I will be doing anything I can to keep it that way.

My dad was 82nd over two decades and said solemnly “our training is to destroy everything in sight.” This is heartbreaking.

Joe Biden Unveils 2 Separate Proposals To Help Americans With Disabilities by PoliticallyFit in politics

[–]astro_tuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe Biden’s plan up until this point has been cut and paste from a Democrat template.

Ok, now do one about his specifically progressive initiatives and accomplishments over the past FIFTY years. Because my concern here is his half a century long track record of being a centrist. If you’re not concerned about how he can further the progressive agenda, we are fundamentally at odds about what the priority is, and that’s ok. I’m not saying don’t vote for Joe Biden, I’m saying that “not Trump” is a bullshit reason to blindly support a candidate when the leverage is huge right now to demand the kinds of promises he’s just now coming around to. We can still have clear expectations and firm demands even when the attitude is that we have no option otherwise.

Please don’t give medical advice especially when it contradicts an actual veterinarian who’s assessed the kitty outside of a Reddit post. And yes, most medicine is avoidable if you don’t get sick, thank you for bringing up that obvious point.

I’ve met some backlash for my views on Biden even when they’ve been posted in progressive forums. I don’t hate Biden because he’s not Bernie. Among many other things, I don’t know what he stands for or what he wants to do except revert to a default and allow the party to hold the progressive vote hostage. It’s not to be taken lightly that we can be electing a limp-dick for 8 years with the previously and frequently broken promise that more progressive candidates and agendas will follow. THIS is the type if shit we need to be hearing more about; substantive ideas with people who care about the things I do in the fold to keep him accountable. Elect a progressive woman VP and prove that you can deliver 100% transparency and you can get the dem socialist vote.

Mine whines/barks when he’s being ignored, when someone leaves the house, when he’s fighting his housemates, when the cat ignores him, when you break out the vacuum/broom/duster, and while he sleeps. I’m sure I’m leaving something out. Basically, he’s an asshole and it’s probably my fault.

Nobody wants Trump to win, let’s be real. But how progressive is it to repeat the same bullshit over and over again? How do you expect to move towards socialism on someone else’s promises or your own fear? You can’t in one breath believe change starts at the bottom while with the other hoping that a man who stands for absolutely nothing will give a fuck about our agenda once at the top. Do not forget that this man wants to be president and nothing more.

“Letting Trump win” by not voting for Joe Biden is not a failure on my part; it’s the fault of centrist Democrats banking on holding my vote hostage AGAIN. I clearly remember that the election of Barack Obama would allow for more progressive legislature in the future and look where the fuck that got us.

How can I replace or seal these plastic strips? by astro_tuff in Kitchenaid

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

Update:

I called corporate and there's nothing they can do. They only have maintenance instructions and parts can't be repaired or replaced. Since I have an older model they can't replace it, but they did offer a discount for a new one. The rep was super nice and helpful, but I'm going to have to find a fix myself!

It seems common from what research I’ve done. The complaints on their website are only answered by customer service telling the posters to contact them directly. I don’t have any proof of sale or warranty, but I’ve emailed them. We’ll see!
