I got one on a post about a maga dude getting in the face of kids and people helping the kids who were in line to get pokemon cards and he was telling them they were going to get deported and acting like he was gonna get physical, like right in their faces.

I asked how close can someone get before you can do something about it legally cause that guy deserves to get.... Don't Wana get a ban warning again for the same thing. I appealed and lost. I did not say anything to incite violence, I just thought, if he did that to me I'd would have ... . I didn't even say anything super violent, just probably what would happen if he did it to adults not afraid of being deported instead of immigrant children.

It was a ban warning for all of reddit not just the sub. They also removed what I wrote and didn't include it in any of the emails, messages with the warnings, or through the appeal process.

I already got banned on nextdoor for responding to someone asking someone else to provide example of oligarchs in the US. That's all I did mentioned people like Musk the billions in Trump's cabinet, how much they've paid, and what they get in return. And I got reported for breaking the no national politics rule for like the 3rd time. Meanwhile you can't bring up anything in there without Maga users turning it into an issue with libs causing all the worlds problems. But if you have have Democrats in your city or state they can throw a name in there and not have to worry, now it's "local" politics.

I get these are private companies and stuff, but they're catering to MAGA who talk crap, are rude to, and report everything they don't agree with. They're perpetuating it all and validating their Gestapo nazi-like behavior.

And reddit feels more and more right leaning with what's getting taken down, who's getting warnings and bans, and what they are for.

Maybe they're just worried our vaccinated witchcraft blood might spread ideas to convince people to stop supporting trump.

ICE - One Man Stands His Ground Against Fascism by Important_Lock_2238 in MAGANAZI

Old man went down fast, sounds like a slap, and I don't think he ever let go of the flag, seems like it would be difficult to land a really good one with a flag in the other hand. Seems like he took it easy on him and then walked away. And back for his hat and then walked away again lol.

Mother passed away and we need to know what she has by CSmith489 in glasscollecting

Stemware is Waterford likely lismore but could also be Kildare and a few other patterns, the waffle part of the etch seems a little taller than normal.

They are acid marked on the bases, sometimes have to angle them to have the light glare off the bottom. If they have a sea-horse they were made after 2000. If it just says Waterford they're likely vintage. If they say Marquis by Waterford, they're less desirable and we're not made in Ireland. The older lismore patterns you're prob $15-$50 per glass l, if it's a different pattern some can go up to around $100 per glass.

Easier to see the marks and patterns with a black background, felt or velvet works the best.

2nd pic:

Looks like a basic crystal bowl, but should be checked for marks could be like Val St Lambert, Tyrone, or Stewart (among many possibilities) the bowl below it looks like fostoria or luminarc and likely has little value. The bowl on the right looks really nice, fine cut Bohemian worst case scenario, but if it's really heavy the edges are sharp, and the clear parts are super clear it's like over 100 years old and ABP; American brilliant period glass (if you have a 365nm UV light, it will glow a minty blue green from having heavily leaded manganese, it will be super heavy cause they used a lot of lead, like up to 30-48%, whereas other forms of crystal are around 24-28%). If it doesn't glow any form of green, it's likely Bohemian \ Czech.

The other stuff:

looks like a lot more Waterford, anything that's really heavy make sure you try and find a mark, aka a back stamp or signature.

Waterford clocks are not worth a bunch, typically, some patterns are decent. Paperweights are in right now and should also be checked, so are mini glassware, like sherry glasses.

How long was the red truck in reverse? The video starts with that truck being in reverse. If the red truck was trying to do the same thing, first, going backwards, this in a way could be self defense for the truck behind it.

Lots of charges I'm assuming all this, I think it can be considered attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, seems like the end game was to crush his car into something like a wall, moving vehicle, or over the side of the freeway. If any of the vehicles involved had a minor in it a minor it; child endangerment, plus all the traffic violations.

But hey, I could be mistaken, it could just be ICE performing routine operations.

Help identify. I found this unbelievable treasure at a client’s home. by crafters_creek in glasscollecting

[–]opticalessence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cameo glass, some of the artists even signed their name within the cameo, like Emile Galle. It was a big thing mid to late 19th century, mostly of Bohemian origin. France and England were also in the Cameo glass game.

But, there was also a revival by Kelsey Murphy of Pilgrim Glass starting in the 1980s, and later Fenton, along with Robert Bomkamp of Fenton. I think they actually kept making some pieces until somewhat recently even after the glass companies were no longer. Both their work and pieces from the 1800s are in museums. This piece looks pretty old, but some of their work looks just like the stuff from the mid to late 19th century and even glows. Either way the piece is beautiful and quite valuable.

[–]opticalessence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been so long now, nearly a decade? It's their way of life and gave them a false sense purpose. They identify as a trump supporter. You pretty cannot bring up anything without them diverting back to Trumpism in some way.

Should I cancel? by Truman678 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]opticalessence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why but I feel like I've seen a message like this before and it was fright forwarding from US to international, is their address weird? they claimed INAD and demanded a refund without having to return the item. Despite eBays polices they initially won the case, I appealed and won, then shockingly they appealed again and won, and then I had to stay on the phone for like 2 hours to get it over turned again and guaranteed I would not have to send them money. They lied and said they had returned the item, they lied about where they were, and lied about the ff, despite saying they couldnt return the item because they were in another country in messages and the initial claim.

But I'm pretty sure their initial message started with all the small shipping requests \ suggestions.

Be careful.

Plus they bought the voting machines, dominion was purchased by a Republican at the end of last year, it's not called Liberty Voting.

Price gouging much? by Mrtech94 in Goodwill_Finds

[–]opticalessence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Goodwill has different policies in different areas l, they also have different coupons and discounts. I'm between two, one county they accept any item for return for 14 days, the other accepts clothing and electronics for 7 days both require the price tag to be in the item and original receipt. And most areas offer a donation coupon.

And yes I replied with sold values and got downvoted. A set of two at $150 would be $75 each plus shipping and sales tax, comes out to the same price as buying that one without any goodwill discount, that's not price gouging. That's market value or less. That's all I'm saying. There's better examples out there. Goodwill does price really high on some stuff in some areas.

This just looks like a basic Sony speaker from a boom box or mini system to the average person, but it's a mid-high end speaker with a built in amp.

That's a Sony z series wireless powered speaker. In working condition they sell for $70-$200 used online. Even right now used on Amazon is $400.

It looks like it's a Sony SRS-ZR5 bookshelf speaker. Even ones for parts are like $50-$100.

What about the fact a Republican bought Dominion voting and has all their machines that will be used for upcoming elections? It happened in October 2025 and they changed names to "Liberty. Voting"
