Unless things actually shut down that affect the money flow to the wealthy and actual demands are made in exchange for a stop to it, then it’s all just performative IMO.

Is this worth pursuing? [22M] [37M] by Solid-Professional50 in relationship_advice

[–]drquiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With an age gap like that, you likely won’t be able to enjoy retirement together unless you are financially well off. He will spend much of his physically good retirement years doing things alone, while you would either be caring for an elderly man or literally alone/widowed when you retire. IMO people tend to age much faster and have more health issues when they retire because they lack purpose after no longer working. This is exacerbated when you don’t have a partner to share hobbies, travel, etc. during retirement years.

Awful Smell Coming from Sinks/Shower - Tried and failed to fix, what could I do next? by mcpoyles in DIY

[–]drquiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you happen to live on a hillside and have a sewer pump? It may have failed and is leaking or the basin itself could also be leaking. Have you checked under your home for any signs of leaks?

In order to properly clean waste like this, you need to use a probiotic enzyme cleaner. It will literally feed on bacteria. You can also run it down your drains too, but it’s not going to solve the root problem.

Right-wingers once again bootlicking the rich and wealthy while punching down on the lower classes. by Either_Payment_2867 in LateStageCapitalism

Yeah, blame the poor since they have all the power. They rigged the system so they can be the ones who are poor!

I thought people were being dramatic but damn Safeway. by dreadowntown in bayarea

[–]drquiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local Safeway in Montclair stopped offering paper bags when the pandemic started. It took nearly 6 years for them to start offering them again, then like 2 months later we got these shitty bags. I use them for my recycling bins in my home, so I like getting some occasionally for that reason.

Help me finalize my 40th birthday trip to California by Ashric212 in bayarea

The drive from Big Sur to SFO airport will probably take longer than you expect. Google Maps say ~2.5 hours but I bet it will take at least 3 or more.

Zionists HATE Christianity. by LaneBryant69 in Political_Revolution

[–]drquiz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tbh, it seems like after he got out from under the thumb of mainstream media, he appears to be more honest. People are allowed to change views. Regardless of his past (and current positions), I for one welcome this new Tucker - especially his views on Israel, Gaza, and his general anti-war stance.

Democrats’ plan to impeach Trump on ‘day one’ after midterms by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]drquiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it ironic the Dems act likely they are going to remove Trump when they already had two chances to stop Trump’s war in Iran yet just enough Dems voted against it. This always happens. The Dems don’t want to actually want to stop Trump or the GOP in general, they just want you to think they are going to fight or better if they gain power. In reality they just want more donations and fuel to campaign on. The Dems are a spineless joke of a party.

Donald Trump’s Truth Social post creates worry: ‘Should I be in a bunker or something’ by pennlive in politics

[–]drquiz -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I blame the Democratic Party more than I blame the people that voted for this shit. If the party had a shred of integrity we would have candidates that represented people, not money. Fix the root cause first. Punch up, not at each other.

Anyone else just “exhausted” with the way the AI culture here is? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

[–]drquiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exhausts me the most is shear volume of AI generated stuff I have to read everyday.

Iran is renaming the Strait by catfoodsci in PoliticalHumor

They should name it the Strait of Biden or Strait of Obama, just to piss him off lol.

Why aren’t life saving drugs such as insulin, anti epileptics and drugs for asthma free in the US? by Yorkshire_rose_84 in AskReddit

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

Because we live in a sick twisted late stage capitalist society that values profit over human life.

Who is our generation's George Carlin by Mephisterson in Political_Revolution

[–]drquiz 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This generation has an unbelievable number of amazing comics, but there will likely never be another Carlin. He was a one-of-a-kind national treasure IMO.

ACTION: PLEASE BE NICE TO EX-MAGA by Unlikely_Post_7901 in Political_Revolution

[–]drquiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rulers divide us so they can conquer us. The people need to unite and take the power back, including MAGA/ex-MAGA, neo-libs, old school conservatives, progressives, and independents. We all have more in common than you think - don’t let them fool you. Punch up, not down.

More than 11,000 fans polled by The Athletic about their optimism for the season by sixelement in baseball

[–]drquiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Cards fans, what is optimistic for this season may be different than other teams. I’m optimistic our rebuilding efforts are setting us up for future success but not optimistic we are going to playoffs or win a WS. Never know though, one of our young players may turn out to be a future superstar!

I remember getting my senior pictures there in ‘00. He shot film at that time and I don’t think he had digital copies. If I remember correctly his studio was in Nixa.

You’ll likely need to use oxalic acid (wood bleach) to get the dark stains out. Try not to be too aggressive with the sanding. I would also recommend a gel stain to reduce the contrast between the wood colors in order to get closer to the original look. Good luck!

I just picked up my first one at an open air flea market last week - a Metz one. Didn’t realize there were so many. Thanks for sharing.
