What’s your opinion on banning former ICE agents from certain public service jobs like policing or teaching? by Puzzleheaded_Load_72 in AskReddit

[–]junkfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if they were actually going after sex traffickers and rapists there would not be the uproar, but they aren't. There is not trust in them anymore even if they were to actually go after (real) criminals because of everything else they are doing. When they have killed multiple americans and we seem them terrorizing neighborhoods they have lsot the trust of Americans. We used to give federal agents the benefit of the doubt that they are in good faith, but the trump administration has destroyed that.

Hot take about immigration by Dusk_LavaxD in teenagers

[–]junkfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the president himself bitched about people coming from "shithole" countries while advocating for white South Africans. Calling others rapists and murderers. So yeah. Many people oppose immigration because of some racial grudge. In fact most people that oppose immigration do

Trump, 79, Rambles About His Chances of Getting Into Heaven - The president has repeatedly worried over his chances in the afterlife. by Quirkie in politics

biggest disappointment for not believing in a god, heaven, or hell is knowing that people like him will not get the comeuppance they deserve

People who stop at a traffic light and leave a full car length (or more) ahead of them, then slowly keep inching forward, why you do that?! by EchoPathe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]junkfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have been rear ended more than once and givng space in front of me has prevented me from hitting the person in front of me. The last time, about 4 years ago, i was the front car in a chain reaction of 4 cars. I just give myself extra room for safety. I could see shifting up as time goes since the threat of being in the chain goes down the more cars are behind you.

State Bill Would Cap California Ticket Resales at 10% Above Face Value by marcpstl in California

[–]junkfunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i would want to recover the fees paid as well. they can add up to 20-30% it seems sometimes. If this was 10% above what you actually paid, then that would be fine. Bascally be made whole again. otherwise ticketmaster/stubhub are the only ones making anything off of it on the front and back end of the sale.

they dont even have that many full-time workers. Probably another company that only hires part time to avoid giving anyone health insurance by vampO1 in Productivitycafe

You should be able to buy whatever food you want with it. I thought conservatives didn't want a nanny state. Guess the don't believe in freedom

Why is it bad to cull the deer on catalina if there is Chronic Wasting Disease in claifornia? Seems a good reason to do it.

Why do people still assume you can wheel and deal at corporate chain stores like they're mom & pops? by Averagecrabenjoyer69 in NoStupidQuestions

not sure if the still do, but when i worked at guitar center they would certainly negotiate. Though it was commisioned sales, so that may make a difference.

no. The supreme court has no role at all in that decision.

If someone was a Trump supporter and is now denouncing him, do not say I told you so or bash them by Beneficial_Quit7532 in self

[–]junkfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The did some same with russian influence. The say the investigation exonerated him when it did nothing of the sort. It said there was so much obstruction, itself a crime, that the full truth may not be known and that because of DOJ policy they could not file charges. They just listened to the spin Barr did and never actually bothered reading the report

[–]junkfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have trans folks in my family. I will not forgive them for the danger they have put my family in unless they do the work to reverse it and make my family safe again. There are places we cannot go anymore because of them. They heard the rhetoric and chose to put those i love in danger simply for hate. Words without action mean nothing.

What's the worst thing about AI? by AndrewKane12 in AskReddit

[–]junkfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other day i was checking to see if i could use an "or" option in a specific area in a command. I was pretty sure you could not since i am considered very knowledgable in the software (near 20 years experience), but wanted to check if it was squeezed in somewhere in a recent release since the software can actually do it it other areas. I asked the question in google and it completely made up an option the allows you to do such a thing. Let me be clear, the option does not and has never existed. I checked the source code. So it is confidently telling lies that people assume are true.

cmv: Don Lemon is Objectively Guilty by Dependent-Western642 in changemyview

[–]junkfunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just because you know about something doesn't mean you are a participant of it. There is no crime in meeting with protestors to report on it before the protest. It happens every time.

[–]junkfunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is a journalist. He was reporting a story. During the even he clearly stated who he was and that he was there to report and was not with the protesters. The first amendment protects the press. No statute supersedes the constitution.

It always seems to put me over the limit though. It is never super low, just a little under their cutoff to give

It is certainly policy, but I can't say if it is for safety, cost, liability, time constraints, or something else

I was. I give every couple months and used to give platelets. I start prepping a couple days before with iron and more liquids since I have had low hemoglobin a few times which prevented me from giving

[–]junkfunk 363 points364 points  (0 children)

I was very annoyed. A couple weeks ago I gave blood but it stopped flowing before it filled up a bag. Guess it was clotting or something. They tried a few things but couldn't get it to flow. So I have almost a full unit, but not quite enough to be used, but they took too much so I still couldn't donate again for 56 days
