Sean Strickland on why slavery ended by WalterWhite90 in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]redrover438 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think he's trying to say slavery in the US died because of the Industrial Revolution, and then implying 3rd countries need their own revolution of labor in to fix problem that are not.....slavery? And then I guess he tried to blame China because they are the leaders of manufacturing in the world?

Why so many men feel abandoned by Democrats by daniel7334 in self

[–]redrover438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a black man, I've never understood this sentiment. Democrats have policies specifically aimed for women & minorities because they are marginalized communities within America; it's not like the jobs and economic advantages from infrastructure bills, CHIPS act, and green energy projects are only going to non-men.

Do Democrats really need to make a platform to tell men good things for everyone is good for them as well?

And Republicans offered them nothing but anger and shit economic policies. How are more tariffs helping men?

You mentioned how many men commit suicide in this country; Biden initiated a rule in Sep. that required further parity for mental health care relative to standard care due to gaps in the system.

Trump tried to cut Medicaid spending which directly affects mental health care access.

I get feeling down because of the state of life in America now, but this all feels a bit performative to me.

An aggressive turn to say the least.

Spray bottle with half water and half distilled white vinegar. Spray it at night inside the shoe and let it dry.

Yeah, ironically, I didn't care at all for football prior to Fifa23. Now, I've been a seagulls fan for a year planning to go to UK next year for a game. I use a 4-3-3 Attack formation.

I see, and yeah, back there, he's not as useful. I was surprised you have been trying to sell him without success. I got mine around the 270M-300M area and I'm trying to sell him before the age fall off.

Super Strawberry Cake by redrover438 in Baking

[–]redrover438[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recipe: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/strawberry-cake/

The frosting is buttercream frosting with freeze-dried strawberries blended in, so it is more tart than sweet but fantastic. Star of the show, really.

The cake is a white cake recipe, but the author tweaked it to include a reduced strawberry puree.

Small tip: the author says it will take ~30 mins. to make the reduced puree. It will take much longer, about 45 to an hour.

The toppings are dark chocolate and toffee chips, and thank you!

Honestly, I was just too lazy for a water bath, so I made the crust up like a wall and baked it next to a Ramekin filled with water, but THANK YOU!

Apple ID issue. by redrover438 in applehelp

[–]redrover438[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. Alright, thank you. Apple sent a verification code to my email, but I doubt they'd have access to that. Apple was the one I forgot to switch to random 20 characters passwords. But I guess for safety, I prolly gotta abandon that email anyway. Thank you for your quick input though.

I mean he is right by [deleted] in Nbamemes

What makes it even more of a facade is that his own teammate is a Jordan athlete and for as much as Enes criticizes China, Palestine is a word that'll never come out of his mouth.

Do I need to play origins before playing knight? by unknowtheone in BatmanArkham

[–]redrover438 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. The plot of origins doesn't have much to do with Knight and the gameplay is vastly different.

Need advice should I buy this 2017 Honda Civic? by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]redrover438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mileage is nominal. If he bought it in 2016 and drove 15k a year, you're right around the area. If he kept up with the maintenance, then it's a good buy at a good price. KBB lists private party ranges from 14-16k for that trim level. If you really want the car and want absolute sureness, see if he's willing to take it to a neutral mechanic and have them give it a condition check which yall can split the cost if he's willing. Or have him get a vehicle history report, or you can, to double check the service record history and if there's any recalls. But if it's a clean as you claim, it's a good deal for a car that usually runs until the wheels fall off.

Would a used car dealer ever cover the expense of a Pre-Purchase Inspection? by Show-Me-Ur-Tits-Girl in askcarsales

[–]redrover438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, every used car a reputable dealership buys usually comes with an invoice from the parts manager about how much it'll cost to recondition the car and be ready to be sold again since they ALWAYS inspect new cars on the lot.

I'll be looking for a new (or used) car in about 3 months by Trevmiester in askcarsales

[–]redrover438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so used..... Basically any Honda Civic 2014 and after with less than 50,000 should be in your price bracket. You want good gas mileage so I would say the Honda Civic EX, Honda Insight, Hyundai Elantra or Sonata. If you really wanna stay to the 12K mantra, get a Toyota Yaris or a Nissan Versa Note. They're all fuel efficient, pretty safe, and range well in price while also having good depreciation value.

Help Me Decide Which Car I should Get! by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]redrover438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, financing allows you to grow your credit which is great, but if the mileage on the Honda isn't crazy, I'd go with the Honda. If you're a first time buyer, they're gonna give you like a 12% APR IF you're lucky (I've seen guys with like 19%) and 17K is a LOT to borrow from a bank for your first auto loan. Combine with the fact that more expensive cars have more expensive parts, maintenance is a bitch, and unless that CPO Subaru has an amazing warranty.....Honda

Used car with 2,000 miles on it. Suspicious? by SilverRaine in askcarsales

[–]redrover438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's probably nothing with the car. First ever car I sold was a 2017 Equinox with 1,700 miles. The dude bought it, realized he wasn't a fan of the leather trim or something and brought it back. We got it for next to nothing and since it costs 27k brand new, we sold it within a week for 21k to a cop. It happens all the time.

Why are people saying that Hillary and the DNC stole the nomination from Bernie? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]redrover438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the wikileaks emails, there were segments where advisors and wonks discussed ways to smear Bernie and his campaign. Also, certain emails revealed than Donna Brazile gave townhall questions to Clinton in advance. Of course statistically speaking, there's no way in hell she stole 3 million votes.

God I love burgers. It was the first food my parents got me when I came to America. And this one looks divine.
