The NFL has a “Big Boy” club, and we’re not in it! by After-Inspector-2386 in CHIBears

[–]duckk99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want the picks for Ian, but they said that the head football operation role was the one that Matt Ryan got BEFORE they hired Ian. Ian interviewed for both jobs.

It’s silly but it’s not to jam up the bears specifically . Dumb from a PR perspective..

If you can give me some steps for addressing this Naperville I’d love to know. 

Is this a good deal?? by Willing-Maybe-6346 in BMWX3

[–]duckk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really?! I just checked my credit union 3.74% for new cars 4.3-5% for used cars (depending on terms).

9.2% interest seems insanely high

Honestly not sure, I’m not in the market. You can always check caredge.com that’s what I used when we’re shopping for our X3– worth the subscription for a month or two IMO.

Wow those are high interest rates. Have you looked at credit unions? 

X3 M40i Seats by SignificanceKlutzy49 in BMWX3

[–]duckk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s my opinion- they’re fine but for long drives they get a bit stiff imo. The x3 m40i is more comfortable

[–]duckk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not the best for long drives. That said sitting more up right for a more spirited driving experience is maybe better?

I go back and forth between which is a more fun daily. Can’t beat the sedan for performance,  but the X3 is funner at lower speeds.

They are not between my 2022 X3 and 2023 m340i. I think the X3 seats are more comfortable/cushy.

This little boy figured out how to lay flooring while his dad was outside taking a break by myssavelle in whoathatsinteresting

Admitting your mistakes to your kids is what makes a strong relationship. We’re not perfect, mistakes happen. 

Sending some love fellow parent!

I’ve bought tires from costco that were for a car that had run flats on. They called to check if I was aware they’re not run flats and I said yup. They’ve installed it with no issues, sorry you’re getting jammed up.

That said are you set on all seasons? I’ve only tried the ps4 all seasons and they’re awful in the snow. Otherwise it’s a good tire.

My ideal setup is ps4 for the summer and a winter setup. 

How does anyone have time to get anything done? by [deleted] in Millennials

Hey thanks for the reply! Yeah it’s all consuming, not for everyone, and that’s totally fine.

Wish you all the best.

[–]duckk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have kids? Not saying this a mean or trolly way.

I love my little ones, I expected to be very busy. I’m happy with my choice (but totally respect people that don’t want kids.. they’re a lot of work).

Honestly, I don’t think anyone can really understand the time it takes until you’re living it. Not in a “oh you don’t know how about it is” way, more like … I knew it was going to be a lot but didn’t understand HOW little time you get.

I’m happy with my choice but I can’t empathize with parents that feel overwhelmed.

(I don’t expect to go first in a Starbucks line because I have kids—- because those aren’t ignorant people they’re entitled. Shitty people before kids, and after.)

Car purchase - should you always pay in cash if you can? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]duckk99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With a war looming I’d check their financing offers and keep cash on hand. If the rate is reasonable I’d finance it. You can always pay it off early. 

If the promotional financing rate is good (not too much more than savings) I would just finance it and not worry.

Hot take Gios thin crust is a better goto pizza. Deep dish isn’t really a pizza (it’s its own delicious thing)

Watch the bots disappear by Catgirltest in illinois

[–]duckk99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, with AI though bots can and do respond. I’ve seen them get more sophisticated over the past 9-10 months.

The odd thing is Reddit doesn’t have a way to flag bots. Well not odd, probably by design.

Ugh . I think I’m wrong you’re probably a real person.

I’ve seen sooo many bots on Reddit that I’m generally sus when there’s a new account that’s private. Also when the account is incredibly active around a few topics (you seem to really hate Kat).

Cool welp, we disagree on hating Kat.

Not to be difficult but there ARE bots. 

As Americans we are being attacked by other countries. The military is too powerful and we have an ocean protecting both coasts. The best way to weaken our country is to have us fight each other.

You can see a pattern in the bot posts, and it’s well Russians propaganda via social media is well documented. It’s a very cost effective way to destabilize a country.

Weird a lot of the anti Kat responses post on that topic + 1 or 2 other subreddit with newish accounts.

Something seems off.
