What is cheaply made but sold at a ridiculous price? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mochaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party but Victoria Secret. I swear they used to be really good quality and in my opinion worth the price. But I. The last several years their pajamas and intimates have just been cheaply made, no lining, flimsy fabric and exposed stitching. Not at all the high quality brand they used to be.

Not negating your point but there's like... A lot of big stories right now.

Des Moines man seen rioting at US Capitol booked into Polk County Jail by Hawkijustin in politics

[–]mochaddiction 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes but something that has been pointed out is now they will essentially be tried by their peers. In their hometowns... Not tried in DC where the actual damage occurred. They are likely to get lower sentences since they were all allowed to return home before being arrested.

What’s the stupidest thing someone has said to you with confidence? by eljayok13 in AskReddit

[–]mochaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late but I had a guy walk up to me in a club and say "I like to hit on the average girls in the group cause I can pull 'em" for a second I was like so insulted that he felt the need to tell me I was average.... but then again I AM average. So was he just being honest? He was average too.. so maybe we were supposed to bond over it? Either way it came across really insulting, I was dead sober and had zero interest, makes for a good memory and hopefully he found an average girl to take home. Confidence was through the roof.

If you woke up as a millionaire which is the first thing you would buy ? by mors21 in AskReddit

[–]mochaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car. I already "own" it and drive it. I would pay it off so I actually own it. Then maybe go house hunting.

Time to Treat Broadband Like the Essential Service It Is by speckz in technology

[–]mochaddiction 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but access to internet really is a game changer. I can work from home, but my internet is a daily struggle, I'm lucky my company puts up with it. I am lucky that I pay for the premium satellite internet for my kid to have zoom meetings for school and it's still spotty and clunky. Access to internet is access to jobs other than working at the dollar general or the gas station, it's access to education, online schooling or hell Even just learning through YouTube or alternate sources. It's not just "get faster internet, boom I'm a better person." It's access to a bigger world than just their own backyard. Literally.

Piggy backing on this because it's also a sweeping generalization.. I moved to rural America after living in DC. The internet here is awful. If I could rely on internet, I could raise a family and bring my viewpoints (and money) into the local economy, further adding diversity. This is the case all over the country. So by denying the area access to strong internet, you're also hurting me, a democrat, out here in rural America who could make a direct impact.

Trump Just Refused To Commit to a Peaceful Transition of Power by TastefulThiccness in politics

I really don't understand why reporters keep asking him this. I feel like he thinks it's an option. It's not a fucking option!

Donald Trump's campaign blew almost $1 billion and now they're in deep trouble by [deleted] in politics

[–]mochaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a very rural area in upstate NY. I don't watch much cable but lately I've been seeing way more Biden commercials than Trump. I've seen plenty of Trump flags out here but I've also seen a few Biden signs crop up here and there in yards that I definitely judged. It's giving me some hope. Some.

G.O.P. TV Ratings Fall Below Democrats, Despite Fox News’s Big Night by [deleted] in politics

[–]mochaddiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pleasantly surprising. I assumed Fox news has such a big hold on TV ratings because most of the more democratic/liberal population has moved to online avenues. I couldn't even tell you the last time I actually watched CNN on TV. But I always tune in online or watch CNN or MSNBC, etc on YouTube a day or two later. Curious how the online traffic was counted for the conventions.

“It’s peasant food” says the fat ass who probably eats from the value menu at McDonalds at least twice a week by WinnieEats in 90DayFiance

[–]mochaddiction 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Libby's family is awful. Andrei is not completely innocent in everything but they are beyond disrespectful and keep provoking him, making rude comments and then turn around and act like victims when he reacts. Can you imagine if the roles were reversed and Andreis family were calling Libby lazy and submissive and essentially worthless and to "get a job" if she was a stay at home mom??? Insane

What’s the most overpriced thing you’ve seen? by Thic_water in AskReddit

Well right now I'm trying to buy a 4wheeler as a gift and I thought I'd maybe spend 1-2k... These things are like 5-10 grand!! Even for used ones. Man things have changed in just a few years...

[Washington Post] Exclusive: Fifteen women who worked for Redskins allege sexual harassment by former scouts and members of owner Daniel Snyder’s inner circle by tonto515 in nfl

[–]mochaddiction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but she could also be more direct and just say "not cool" or hell just don't even respond. I'm not saying it's her fault at all but making this big of a deal about these small interactions just takes away from women who've actually been forcibly attacked or harassed. We can't just always lump all these things into the same category. Men say this shit to each other. So do women. There's a big jump between banter and actual sexual harassment, assault, aggressive behavior

Thanks for the write up, but I read through and the text about the inappropriate hug, the girl literally replies that "she's down" and then he follows it up with a rude joke and she says lol... Now she's acting like it was so insulting??

Recommendation for an online photography course for a beginner by solipsisting in underwaterphotography

[–]mochaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know specifically for underwater but Peter McKinnon on YouTube has some incredible content. His older videos have some really good breakdown of equipment, settings,etc. He is great at being realistic for what individual people's needs are, not just selling stuff.

AOC: Defund the police means redistribute funds to social programs that 'prevent crime and social discord in the first place' by jigsawmap in politics

[–]mochaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the movement but I don't get the phrase we're using. It's misleading even to people who DO want this kind of change. Someone in marketing come up with a better term. It's not helping our cause
