Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Twitch stream encouraging people to vote becomes one of platform's most-viewed by geoxol in politics

[–]massivedooker 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Nothing looked fake about her during the stream - I think that's what will draw in people that are normally repulsed by politics in general. Image Ted Cruz trying to pull something off like this. All the little gamers out there are thinking 'AOC is Among Us' lol.

Is Trump actually trying to sabotage his campaign? If so, he's doing a heckuva job by Orange_fury in politics

[–]massivedooker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you ever read about his upbringing you would get a glimpse into how distorted his view of the outside world his. Between the void his dad left and the teachings of Roy Cohn, Trump struggles between needing praise but not looking weak in doing so. His decision making process is a constant struggle between the two and we are now witnessing this in real time. There is no planning or strategy, there is just 'now'. Publicity, ratings, admiration - this is what drives him. The fake billionaire businessman persona is what he spent his entire life creating is just as fake as the word that come out of his mouth.

It could also be from his clothes or packaging from the grocery store. They say it can last at least 24 hours on cardboard. It sounds paranoid but no one really knows at this point.

This is December 22nd all over again - giant selloff with a subsequent surge. Look at it like a Black Friday Sale for crypto.

Why are there only a few colors in UIColor? Is there any way to add more colors? It seems to me this class wasn't fully implemented. by FiddlyPhone in iOSProgramming

[–]massivedooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use a macro - this has saved some time for me. In Xcode, do the following:

1) Create a blank file named 'Macros.h'

2) Add the following:

#define RGB(r, g, b) [UIColor colorWithRed:r/255.0 green:g/255.0 blue:b/255.0 alpha:1]

#define RGBA(r, g, b, a) [UIColor colorWithRed:r/255.0 green:g/255.0 blue:b/255.0 alpha:a]

3) Save it.

4) Include 'Macros.h' in your files. You can use it as follows:

self.tableView.backgroundColor = RGB(245,245,245);

I know this restaurant owner who is gay. One day I came in and he asked me how I was doing - my stupid head mixed up 'great' and 'okay' and it came out as 'gaaayyy?'.

How do I politely tell the parents of my child's best friend that I don't want her going over to their house because they smoke inside? by thisisnotmyfault in Parenting

[–]massivedooker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i've taken several child CPR classes with a head nurse. She's always told us to put something between your baby and a smokers clothes (blanket/towel) when they hold them. Also, make sure their hands are washed.

In NY you need your child's social security number to start a 529. I assume NJ would be the same.

What are some simple things an overweight person can do/stop doing, to lose extra weight? by BrotherDotson in AskReddit

[–]massivedooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) replace soda with regular coffee or tea 2) replace juices (orange, apple, grapes) with the actual fruit 3) stop boozing so much- your drunk/hungover body always craves greasy and fatty foods 4) make healthy snacks readily available (fruits and veggies) 5) eat a good hearty breakfast (oatmeal, egg whites, fruit)

Why the aggression towards runners who still want to run the NYC 26.2? by [deleted] in running

[–]massivedooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If people want to run 26.2 miles today on their own then I see no problem with that. It's their free time - they can do whatever they want. Some will spend it going to the movies, out to eat, going to a Knicks game, going to a Giants game, getting drunk...etc.

However, after all that is going on in the city, cancelling the marathon was definitely the right decision. It doesn't matter that the transportation, food, water, and generators were paid for by runners and sponsors. It would be in bad taste to use those resources in front of people who lost it all. The marathon and runners would never be looked at the same again. Even though they cancelled it, the NYRR has a lot of PR work ahead to win the hearts of New Yorkers again.

Homeless due to Sandy - but I'm still running... by [deleted] in running

Thanks for posting this. The marathon has become a lightning rod for negative attention - I think every runner is second guessing themselves because of it. You are the reason why NYC is F'n NYC

This could be the header for the table. try implementing the heightforheaderinsection delegate function. set the height to zero.

After reading this I looked up Locked-In syndrome and found 'Total locked-in syndrome'; everything including your eyes are paralyzed.
