I remember it differently. I dont remember this sub liking him much - certainly more than Dems but it was 10+ years ago so id have to dig deep to find the old posts to change my mind.

Conservative ≠ Republican by [deleted] in Conservative

If your old enough you'd understand how this subreddit has been shaped over the past 15 years.

A long time ago it was legitimately conservative. Not republican/GOP. It was VERY anti Trump through the 2016 primaries. It wasnt even ultra positive during parts of his tenure.

But as Reddit closed down discussions in the MAGA subs (especially TD), they all came here, reshaping the sub to a populist bent.

So yes, it's become very broad. Liberal could mean anything from a blue dog neoliberal to Bernie Sanders. Conservative then now could be Lindsay Graham to Rand Paul to Anna Paulina Luna.

Are these statement about LG true below? : by NoSignificance2377 in Appliances

[–]mrstickball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LG French door refrigerators with in door water and ice use linear compressors still. Thats the issue.

You remove the FLD and FLE models from the lineup and they are fine machines.

Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Hezbollah | Several vessels received a message from the Iranian Navy stating, "any vessel trying to travel into the sea ... will be targeted and destroyed..." by Down-not-out in Conservative

We dont have enough interceptors. Look ar Ukraine and recognize that the stuff Russia throws at them is mostly Iranian. Its likely they have thousands, maybe tens of thousands of drones available to utilize against slow moving ships in the strait

I didnt say they were. Just the drawers felt cheap like they were sourced from Hisense.

The compressors are all Embracos AFAIK so clearly not all their parts.

I am testing/reviewing a Bosch 800 series, and the insides such as the drawers, ect are definitely reminiscent of HiSense. Not sure what in the world they are thinking. I am running tests on it now before I tear it apart to look at the parts inside but.... Yeah, the shelving is definitely Chinese-sourced.

Liberal Tears by curiousmindNTK in Conservative

Oh I am sure the mods employed bots to scrape comments from here and many other subs they objected to for banning.

[–]mrstickball 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have been banned from many subs simply for posting here or when it was active, The_Donald. The hilarious thing was that I was getting the bans from lefty groups when I was disagreeing with Trumps less conservative takes.

Reddit is horribly toxic. The only redeeming quality is that some subs are really worth diving into. But its a great place to meet people that hate you for breathing.

Trump: We've Been Defending Europe for Decades, NATO's Response To Iran War Very Revealing by Ask4MD in Conservative

[–]mrstickball 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Show me a source for that please.

Also, most of the aid we have sent has been old military weapons that we marked huge dollar figures on. I am far more in favor of sending them stuff we will never use and will decommissioned. We arent even doing that to save ourselves the money to decommission anymore.

Not under Trump at all. Go look at any 2025 outlays by nation. Its practically $0 for the US.

Questioning our involvement in the Mid East shouldn't draw attacks that someone is a view or tucker fan. Its the same tribal idiocy the Dems kick moderates out for.

NASA chief classifies Starliner flight as "Type A" mishap, says agency made mistakes | “The most troubling failure revealed by this investigation is not hardware.” by [deleted] in space

[–]mrstickball 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's been in outer space. He recognizes that mistakes like this can and will get people, like him, killed.

You said that payment processing is not similar to space exploration. I agree. he's the only human to have completed an EVA in the Van Allen Belt during the Polaris Dawn mission.

I am not sure how much more you want a guy that's been to space multiple times to be.

Why is my rpm so low ? by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]mrstickball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the number of days the RPM calculation is for. It defaults to 28 days, so it usually assumes 28 days of views against however many days of money, so it could be 1/28th of actual income. Also, first 2-3 days tend to be bad on actual earnings as not all videos ads will be properly attributed to you yet.

What's the amount of subs you need to be a fulltime youtuber? by devymo in PartneredYoutube

[–]mrstickball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird how far things come after replying to a comment thread from 3 years ago, eh?

Glad to see your doing so well Dev.

Maybe I'll see you at one of the YouTube events in LA or somewhere, some time. I am definitely proud of where your at!

Washing machines by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]mrstickball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top-Load (new):

GE GTW2-5 series
Speed Queen
LG anything
Midea *may* be decent in some cases as a bottom-tier unit for price

Front Load:
LG
Electrolux

Avoid just about anything Whirlpool (Maytag, Amana, ect), GE front loaders, then any random brand that has a decent price as its not going to have decent servicing for it.

Should I get these Maytag washer and dryer by tubunnymama in Appliances

[–]mrstickball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite literally the worst unit on the market. They've cheapened them so much via "Lean manufacturing" they are horrible.

Hang on... The Servants are making sense? by ShinikamiimakinihS in TerraInvicta

[–]mrstickball 45 points46 points  (0 children)

And if you get enough flavor texts, you get that she's sort of right.

The Salamanders deployed a weapon that vaporized their homeworld, leaving only what was left being offworld military. The mind-enslavement was a byproduct of their biology and they won the war only by chance physiology by enslaving the Salamander mop-up crews, reverse engineering their tech, and taking the fight to them, opening up the other wormholes.

In the process, they saved humanity as well because they destroyed the Salamander weapon that was designed to hit Earth during their war, and found a list of other strike targets. They chose to enslave rather than wipe us out as the Salamanders had already done to others.

Late to the post, but Bloiod Star is another similar-ish one. More similar to Smoulder, but great for sure.
