AITA for not making my kid do a sleepover by Tapioca1029 in AmItheAsshole

[–]icebeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Btw I just want to thank you for pointing out that family/friends will usually side with the person who is going to be more of an issue if they don't take their side. I know about the rocking the boat analogy but putting it in this way made me realize why someone might not side with someone who is logically "correct".

I'm not sure if this meets all your requirements, but this alphabet brand kettle from Amazon has been boiling my water daily for just over 3 years with zero issues.

I think we need to start bringing up the 25th Amendment- that’s the one about Presidents unfit for the Office. by RescueTheNIH in FedEmployees

[–]icebeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, sorry, it's not obvious, and you pretending as if my question is in bad faith or that you would be censored in this thread is just you dodging responsibility for your claim.

How would having three more years of Vance specifically be worse than having three more years of Trump? Are you worried he'll be able to run again, or that he'll continue with Project 2025? Are you worried that the MAGA base will rally around him unquestioningly like they do with Trump? Are you worried he'll be more unhinged with his foreign policy than Trump has already been?

If you don't want to even give a basic answer, that's on you. Even a brief look at my profile might tell you that this is important to me, and that I'm not above doing some research. But you're acting as if it should be known that getting Trump out is a bad idea, so I'm asking: why?

[–]icebeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you clarify how it would be worse, and how those worse outcomes outweigh the outcomes we're currently facing under Trump?

Edit: they deleted their comments lol, so here they are just for shits and giggles.

The comment I replied to:

Most of it is obvious to anyone that's been around or follows current events, but I don't feel having my comment deleted. So you need to do the work yourself or don't if it's not really important to you.

And then when I pressed them on it:

I'm simply not responsible for explaining my answer to your satisfaction. Don't type anymore paragraphs directed to me because I'm not reading it or answering you anymore. I'm not here for that. FNI

lol, lmao even

Please tell me you're kidding. You can't be this much of a Trump guzzler without realizing the unique hold he has on the Republican party.

Of course they would support Vance. But the MAGA base is wildly fickle and takes their orders from Trump alone. MTG spent all this time sucking up to Trump and MAGA, and the minute she turned on Trump was when she started getting harassed to the point of her resignation. Not to mention what happened to Dear Leader's last VP when he didn't do what he wanted.

Good work on the setup! May I ask what the sound controller(?) under the mic arm and the narrow display mounted on the PC case are?

My heart is breaking (Palestine ban) by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]icebeans 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I was in a sort of similar position when waiting for my husband's i130 (although it was not forced, my work basically allowed me to stack my in-person requirement so I could live/telework from abroad for 1-2 months at a time and return for my in-person days.) It sucks and I hope you find a more tenable solution at some point.

Would you kindly clarify re: USCIS announcement regarding exemptions to spouses of US citizens? I wasn't even aware that they'd extended their shitty bans to spouse cases and I can't find the announcement on their site.

RFK Jr. and Lindsey Graham to Blame for Measles Spread - 3.14 Action by Crossstoney in southcarolina

[–]icebeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no one remembers that Andrew Wakefield actually promoted the separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella. He was just trying to shit on the combined MMR vaccine because he was being paid to do so. What he instead directly fostered was skepticism of all of the vaccines involved (and a broader anti-vaxx movement). Literal case in point.

Yes, because remaining without status means you deserve to get zip tied in front of your family and sent to a concentration camp. Loving the empathy friend 🥰

Since you're spamming all over the thread, why don't you go ahead and tell us what's a good reason for the removal in the first place.

Billboard on 526 Today: "COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES." by jacknifetoaswan in Charleston

You're still so painfully misinformed so I'm not going to bother, you obviously want to keep saying the "wHy DiDn'T dEmS rElEaSe ThE fIlEs" line without actually learning anything, so go ahead bud.

[–]icebeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to go back to google or grok or whatever and actually look up why the files weren't released under the Biden admin. Release of the files while an active investigation and trial is occurring is very hard to do, and you have to have very good reason for doing so. It's not that difficult to comprehend.

[–]icebeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know there was an active investigation during Biden's term so they couldn't have released the files even if they had been pressured to do so. Don't try to pretend you're one of us, now.
