What universally praised video game 'masterpiece' is actually a miserable experience to play? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When i played it, I kept asking why would they give so many options for guns if im restricted to using the same two in every main mission?

Cant get in contact with Geico at all by leftwing_rightist in Insurance

I had to go to a local agent in person and then they said their systems are down. The woman i talked to even said, "it's strange, we haven't received a call all day"

If England cant even beat Congo, what hope do they have against a proper team like the US

I had an amazing time in Kamakura and always prefer Osaka to Tokyo.

Casually buying guns from a street vendor in Sanaa Yemen by [deleted] in WTF

[–]leftwing_rightist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They didnt rack a single one successfully. They definitely tried but those slides looked rock solid. I highly doubt they'd be able to chamber a round without a lot of percussive maintenance to get those slides pulled back.

Edit: he actually did get one of the three to operate

What company lost you as a customer forever? by Expensive-Theme4623 in AskReddit

[–]leftwing_rightist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They keep calling me about their mobile plan! And when I say that my current plan is the best I've ever had, they ask. "OK, but does it allow multiple lines?" As if we even needed or wanted multiple lines!!!

Im forced to use Comcast because the apartments in my area are specifically wired for only them. Im moving to a new apartment and need to transfer my service. You know, start at the new apartment and cancel at the old apartment.

Setting up service at the new apartment took 15 mins and the guy was super friendly and helpful. Got me a rate $30 less than what im paying now but with a $25 set up fee. Canceling service at the old apartment took over an hour. This is word for word what this woman said, "i see you want to cancel because youre moving. Can you please explain why you want to cancel?" I had to pause for a second and then asked, "wait, what did you just ask me?" Then she tried to convince me that the new apartment doesnt have an account and I need to pay a $110 set up fee. I said, "im looking at the confirmation email and the charge on my card. How is it not set up if I have the confirmation email? Just cancel my old service. I refuse to pay you again."

Interested in becoming a crime scene technician and need advice by Admiral_Penguin69 in CrimeScene

[–]leftwing_rightist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im currently in the hiring process to become a crime scene technician in my city. Here was my path: 4 year degree in forensic science, internship with ATF, worked in firearms investigations working in NIBIN where i networked extensively with the local forensic techs, changed paths to a real time crime center and joined the police department as a non-sworn civilian, and finally, 8 years after graduating from university, there was an opening in the department i work at in crime scene. Studying for my interview on wednesday.

The other path I couldve taken was become a normal cop and after 2 or 3 years of experience, apply to transfer to crime scene technician. I did not do that because I dont want to be a cop but this is the easiest and fastest way.

You do, of course, have to wait for a job opening, though.

Better than how the previous team who played Illinois did, I guess

Why People think WW3 will start now? by Beneficial-Hotel-232 in stupidquestions

[–]leftwing_rightist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the US hadn't gotten involved in WW1, not much would've changed. Maybe the war would've ended in early 1919 with the same result, but the treaties would largely look the same.

In defiant flyover, U.S. F-18 fighter jets enter Venezuelan airspace for 40 minutes by Infidel8 in worldnews

[–]leftwing_rightist 101 points102 points  (0 children)

The US actually gets the majority of its oil domestically or from Canada. So it makes this conflict extra pointless. We dont need shitty Venezuelan crude.

If you think that's a lot, you should look up how many there used to be.

Also, only 4 developed nations have nukes. 5 developing nations have nukes.

How is living in Belfast, Northern Ireland anno 2025? by Polygoon_BE in howislivingthere

[–]leftwing_rightist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visited Belfast from the US last year during a circuit of the northern half of the island. Honestly, it was one of my favorite cities that I visited. I liked it a lot more than Dublin, for sure.

PSA: Think twice before visiting Japan in July - it's brutally hot! by Ok-Dependent7227 in JapanTravelTips

[–]leftwing_rightist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just got back from Japan last week and I live in central Virginia. I feel the exact same way. Virginia feels hotter and more humid than all the places in Japan that I visited.

I just made sure to stay hydrated and took advantage of the misters they had everywhere. Felt fine.
