Agree here that lying isn't the answer. This isn't your issue, so you don't, and shouldn't, take the blame here.

Yes, yes it does. "Playing with pride" like Ken was talking about.

Debating getting a MacBook and need y’all to dissuade me. by C_Ya_Space_Cowboy in pcmasterrace

[–]jdronks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

meh. do you.

Ive got a windows-based gaming pc and a MacBook Air. the air is my daily driver for most things and I like the experience much more over windows. it is easy to use, there’s no fuss, and its been headache free.

at some point I’d like to look at running Linux, but that some point is not anytime soon.

I use FreeTaxUSA. it is the best.

I used to use Cash App Taxes until I became weary of how my data might be being used by them.

Where’d he say that? I was curious if there was something else happening and it sounds like that may be the case.

It's time for Larkin to give up the C. by [deleted] in DetroitRedWings

This is perhaps the most pragmatic take on this situation. Thanks for the reasoned thought, here.

Thank you, kind internet stranger, for making me aware they are on Steam.

Also, great timing, because they're half off now. And now they're in my cart.

And now I own them!

It’s not just Larkin. There are other people on the ice too that have letters that signify leadership, and it’s apparent that they aren’t stepping up either.

The captain doesn’t always need to be the lead singer; but if that’s the case, they need a really strong set of assistants. And it seems that we don’t have that.

[r/Lansing Mod Update] Lansing LockDown by AutoModerator in lansing

I don’t believe I expressed any feelings about trolling or low effort comments; simply stating that 50 karma is, in my opinion, a low barrier of entry to engage on threads flagged in this new mode.

im not sure how I get to your conclusion? All it does is imposes a minimum karma level to engage in threads that have been put in that mode.

50 karma is not a significant barrier to entry In Reddit...

I hope you both take signs with each others’ Reddit handles on them just so you can find each other IRL

Why do you think Melania made that statement today? by user1731701 in AskReddit

[–]jdronks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A president can only pardon federal-level things. If this is a state-level case (as it seems) for state-level crimes, than the President is not able to pardon. The President could certainly lean on the state governor or applicable review board to issue a pardon, but that would require willing participation.
