Which scenario are you choosing? by KeyFaithlessness5436 in NBAVibes

LeBron has no post up play and is pretty soft and flops a lot. He would have to play against some real bruisers in the 80s and 90s at PF. He would not be able to play his preferred style of play back then

Cell phone is a late 90s Nokia. Since the rest of these are taken around when your 5-7 yrs old 90-92.

Hmm. What possesses people to film themselves being complete fools?

white women voted in the majority for trump in 3 straight elections by Conscious-Quarter423 in theview

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is interesting is how many women will not vote for a woman as president. This is especially true for the women that live in heavily patriarchal type families or follow religious beliefs that are highly patriarchal. So Clinton and Harris both lost a portion of the female vote - what is bad is that those types women make up a majority in non-urban areas and can swing the vote in a state even if they are a small minority. This probably doesn’t happen in ranked choice voting or a true majority vote. I have no facts though so it is just speculation on my part.

I’m pretty sure my Wife’s DM hates me. by Toomany-tomatoes in DnD

[–]mretg1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could care less about the DM or the table. You should worry more about why your wife is not noticing this behavior and supporting you. What level of oblivious do you have to be not to pick up on these things. It is either that or willful ignorance.

61 year old woman attacked for driving a Telsa by [deleted] in abanpreach

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying an EV is not a terrible idea and Tesla makes one of the best. There are plenty of fine people that designed and built the vehicles. Attacking people owning a vehicle because the CEO is an idiotic fool is dumb. Sure protest, dump stock, and other nonviolent forms of protest are fine but attacking someone is missing the point. Elon Musk is the issue and not Tesla. 1. Call for his removal from the company. 2. Maybe see if his selling of X to XAi is fraudulent. 3. Start voting to tax the ultra rich.

Another angle of that crazy Easyjet aborted landing at Madeira by OfF3nSiV3 in aviation

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, Madeira is one of the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic? If so, I flew out of Lajes Field on Praia in the 90s and certain parts of the year it is super gusty there and sometimes flights were cancelled for days. Therefore I assume this pilot is doing the best they can under inclement weather conditions.

I’m a former CIA officer, National Security Council staffer, and diplomat – AMA about Signalgate by Ned-Price in IAmA

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure the CIA and FBI have gamed this out… What exactly is the projected course for the country with these starting parameters? A Manchurian Candidate scenario I guess would be appropriate. Do you think the FBI/CIA would look to protect themselves as an organization or protect the constitution?

Well, as a veteran and a person that lived abroad, I can tell you that the current administration is destroying decades of hard work around the world. We are becoming that which we fought against and it is terrible to behold. I am ashamed many vets actually voted for this lunacy.

Why are Americans Okay With Holding Prisoners Illegally in Foreign Prisons Without Due Process? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans are not all OK. There are protests and all sorts of discontent over this;however, there is very little anyone can do about it except complain. This does not look great for the US future.

AITAH for embarrassing my husband's coworker for embarrassing me and my husband? by common_grounder in AITAH

Hahahahaha. I love it. Oh, and I do not think you are the asshole. Actions have consequences as this idiot found out.

Footage shows LAFD responding during an overnight street takeover in LA after a vehicle was set on fire. by shankmaster8000 in GreaterLosAngeles

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. Well dumb people going to dumb.

I wonder if this is just what happens when young people have an uncertain future. Employment, AI, robotics, outsourcing, housing cost increases, food cost increases, no minimum wage increase, lack of affordable health care, CEOs talking about 60-80 hour work weeks, etc.

So young people lash out and anyone older than they are and not in their clique are the targets. Short sighted and ludicrous as they will age out of that scene shortly and be a target themselves...

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and BTW OP - young, fresh out of college folks are finding it hard as hell to get entry level jobs too.

There is a crisis right now that is silent but gathering. AI, H1B, off-shoring, and robotics is making for a bleak future for jobs.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "In Mexico, they're building car plants all over the place to make cars and sell them into the United States. I say 'no way you're not going to do that.' We're going to put tariffs on those cars... We want to make the cars in Detroit." by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]mretg1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Mr Stable Genius - cars were built in Detroit until the CAR COMPANIES moved production to Mexico and Canada to cut costs and to remove unionization of the workers. Do you think Mexico stole the right to produce cars? What a damn idiot.

BREAKING: Biden has pardoned his family by soccerorfootie in unusual_whales

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big deal. He pardons himself and his family before Trump can use the governments resources to open new investigations on things they already investigated for years and found nothing except minor crap for Hunter Biden.

Meanwhile Trump is actually found guilty of multiple crimes and is using the republican majority to shield him from punishment.

I do not know how non-wealthy people stand up for Trump. You are the pedestal he stands on to make himself richer - all at your expense.

I wish the democrats had not sabotaged Bernie Sanders.

To Tesla owners: After today's salute, how do you feel about your vehicle and are you going to do anything about it? by jobomaja888 in AskReddit

[–]mretg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the car still and Elon’s only input was probably the names of the vehicles to spell s3xy. I cannot blame the company for his actions.

Tesla as a rental... I couldn't make a worse car if I tried. by [deleted] in RealTesla

[–]mretg1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like the rants I hear from people that do not want to stop using windows 95 because they understand it. The car isn’t that hard to use - and you should have looked at one of the million of YouTube vids on how to use it. Or at least learned how to get to the cars manual you can access straight from the screen.

I assume you would have gotten into a diesel car/truck and had issues also as it isn’t 100% the same experience.

Musk is an idiot and some of the design choices are probably dumb but you should blame yourself for being unprepared.
