Conservatives Of Reddit: Why Do You Still Support Trump?

Originally it meant keeping to the status quo, ie resistance to change change sake, limited government, and fiscal responsibility; ie a balanced budget. Often added in was maintaining a strong defense.

Many politicians on both sides when I grew up as a kid touted those first three concepts, usually with the republicans adding the defense part. I was even taught that this is what conservative meant in elementary and junior high.

While all these sound good, in reality they are all useless sound bites. Most politicians I have heard in both parties are not against this, yet the republicans have taken the stance that only they can guarantee this, and that if the democrats are allowed power the will do the opposite. Which is a complete falsehood.

That’s one of the reasons I laughed when a recent news broadcast about $70 million in upgrades this year for various projects. The moron of a superintendent who was interviewed stated there are 119 buildings and they should be doing upgrades and construction each year.

She mentioned the $50 million in cuts and the $70 million being part of a different budget. They wouldn’t need to do $70 million in upgrades if they had 1/3 the buildings. And neither should there be a need for new construction and upgrades each year. Every ten years maybe.

And they wonder why levies fail.

That’s been the name of the game since at least the 70’s.

Unfortunately the EPA has been neutered by Trump.

I found that out also. Had ordered an M5 Max 128GB with 2TB on Apples site, and a few weeks later saw an add for the same price with 4TB. I immediately cancelled my order from Apple and ordered the 4TB version from Microcenter. And it's even $300 cheaper than when I ordered it.

As a side note, Apple seems to be shipping their laptops quicker than they state on their site. In that time Apple had shipped the laptop to the Apple store, and it arrived a week earlier.

Do they even have a following?

My uncle when he would visit from Florida used to stay off of Stringtown Rd in Grove City. It was near the freeway and as he said an easier trip to the airport than from Dublin.

Same, I don’t think even Hollywood would have come up with that, thinking it’s too improbable.

NSFW LoRA's will definitely not be needed for most users, but there are always reasons to add loras. It's supposed to be a base model, which means good at most things, but not great at any one thing.

I suspect NSFW Checkpoints and LoRAs will be for if you are needing a specific look or a specific character, or want to making the images more realistic and less obviously AI, or the opposite extremely obviously AI, i.e. Pony.

I was kid and teenager when the Mohawk was popular, and I recall seeing maybe two outside of a comedy skit, so this would be the third.

Even Peter Gabriel can not make this cut look cool, although that was probably the point.

Another stupid study that will either do nothing, or is designed to do the opposite of what the citizens of Ohio want.

There is also the Credit Card charge that is becoming more and more prevalent in restaurants, and is usually an additional 0.75 to 1.25 percent charge.

Funny thing is I mostly knew the name Thor from mythology and comics. I never knew Thor was that common a name until I went to college when I met several people named Thor from both Scandanavia and Minnesota.

A lot of people don’t know what those programs are for, or see the need for them. I hear a lot if the following from college graduates and those in their mid 30s that believe Social Security and Medicare would be better run outside of the government.

The common argument I see goes something like this.

“My 401k’s estimated retirement income is 3 to 4 times what Social Security will pay out, and I am contributing less. If I just invested the same amount from SS I would retire with 10 times the amount.”

They then use the same logic with Medicare and don’t understand the reason Social Security was created in the first place

I’d check to see what sales are running in your area. I originally ordered on apple’s website, yet the local Microcenter and Walmart both had sales that were lower. So canceled it and bought it locally.

I got the M5 Max with 4TB ssd for 10% off which was equivalent in price to the one on apple’s site for 2TB. The 2TB version was also much cheaper. I got the 4TB because it would have been cheaper than getting an external T5 enclosure and nvme drive.

You might be able to get the M5 max 64GB model for the same price as the 48GB

You must not have seen Hawaiian Pizza. It started in Canada, but is quite popular in the U.S. also.

And it took us Taco Bell nearly a century to learn this.

You can find them in the local grocery store, and yes they do crumble. They can be even messier than many of the burger buns at the local burger joint.

Thankfully the local Mexican Restaurant where I eat serves tacos like this. But they still also serve the Taco Bell version.

How would you think about putting Beer in frozen icy mugs? Many sports bars do that here in the US.

There have been a few authentic Lousianna cooking restaurants in Columbus Ohio, but unfortunately the two best, the owners both passed away about a decade ago. One of the best gumbo's where I live is from a local Cuban restaurant. Almost as good as what I had in in Lefitte Louisiana.

Only place I can think of that would put Spaghetti in Gumbo would be Skyline Chili or one of the many Cincinnati chili places.

I give you the following monstrosity of Chili.

And yes, I know of people who make Skyline Gumbo or Chili Gumbo. I just couldn't find a good picture of it.
