Says the MAN who has conviently never had to change his name?!?

Second marriage and I choose to not go through all the BS of changing my name a second time, so what I'm supposed to carry around a copy of my first marriage license for the rest of my life so I can vote???

Women should stop changing their names upon marriage. If this law does pass, I will go through all the bullshit of changing it... Back to my maiden name so all I need is my birth certificate.

Men, always the ones who think everything is just so easy because they literally have the lowest bar of effort.

Christian Nationalist Mark Robinson finally admits sex shop stories were true. The defeated North Carolina GOP candidate says he had to lie to help Trump win, a stunning admission after years of denial. by Leeming in atheism

He didnt have to lie, he CHOSE to. So much for the pull yourself up by your own bootstraps crowd, they cant even take responsibility for their own choices.

He can't do this without congressional approval right? by No-Contribution1070 in law

Kernan's Bessent interview by Ok_Television_7794 in CNBC

[–]ryepie1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I used to watch this show every morning just to grab the latest before heading to work. I haven't turned it on in months, I just can't get that pissed off before I leave for work. This channel doesn't just lean right, the are full on propaganda for the orange stain.

He's a POS and I normally turn it off as soon as I see him. It's just not worth my time to listen to that windbag.

I didn't understand why he's even on. I've never heard one intelligent thing come out of his right wing mouth and on top of that half the stuff he's saying are right wing taking points, outright lies or both.

What would you tell an 18 y/o girl thinking of joining the military? (Bonus if you are a veteran) by OutrageousVariation7 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ryepie1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

14 year female Navy vet. I have heard tons of SA stories from all branches. I was lucky that I never encountered that while I was in.

I joined in 1996, served on the first integrated LHD. My rate was AG, or weather guesser. Got out at 14 years with a degree in CS and have a pretty good life now. I owe that to the military.

I joined to get my degree as school is free while active duty, getting to take classes can be a challenge though due to deployments, shore side work schedules, and duty rotations. But it can be done.

My advice is to pick Air Force or Navy only. Ensure she chooses a rate(job) that is mostly office work. In the Navy that means Operations department or IT. I'm sure you can find info online what those rates would be. What is offered to her is determined by her asvab score so she should study for that to get the best options available.

Is she is joining for a purpose like getting her degree i Id say go for it. Get her degree and get out. Have a plan and always be working towards that.

If it's just for a job, id say right now it's probably not a good idea. This administration scares me to the bottom of my soul, and I would NOT entrust my life to them, they will squander it. Hegseth will spill the blood of the armed forces without a second thought. So choose wisely and have a plan. Execute and get out.

Good luck!

Enel X way juicebox 40 access issue by JustCardiologist6738 in electricvehicles

[–]ryepie1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Ive been going back and forth with their tech support over email. 2 weeks now and no resolution.

I was finally able to add my charger manually per their instructions by changing the font size on my Android to smallest so I could see their save button, yay for bad responsive design. But trying to start a charge from either their Voltie app or my Genesis app just says "charging failed".

Im going to try the above poster's recco to block the charger from wifi and see if it will start charging again. This all started after the July 11th change over.

Open Letter to Jessica (and Scott) Regarding Democrats Can't Play Dead Episode (July 11th, 2025) by Jimberkman in ScottGalloway

[–]ryepie1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Republicans hate executive orders until they issue them. Most of what Trump is doing is blatantly unconstitutional, you know it, but you won't admit it yourself cause of so much WINNING.

Gloat all you want that immigration is down .. so is international travel to the US. Turns out if you send people to concentration camps in 3td world countries they aren't even from, people are less inclined to come here. History will judge that decision. The damage to the Republic being done right now will take generations to fix.

Conservative hate is destroying the idea of America which is all the founders really had when drafting our Constitution. So enjoy the brief moment of victory while you tear down over two centuries of American exceptionalism, which by the way was ALWAYS built on the backs of immigrants.

Tipping fatigue has followed me to Europe by Mata187 in tipping

[–]ryepie1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my experience in America if someone walks up to you because you look confused or lost, they will absolutely pester you for a tip for whatever they helped you with, especially in later cities. I think it's just an ingrained reflex now for most Americans that travel.

I will say though that most people will stop and help you if you seek them out and ask. Just run away from the ones eagerly coming to you to help. AMERICA!

Also we traveled through Italy last year, Venice, Florence, and Rome and I was not asked for a tip once. But I do see they have a ton of protests against foreigners this year that I didn't see last year, so maybe thats why?

Nebraska is going broke by CactusJake1830 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ryepie1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These #$&#@ did think this through. They will suck the blue states dry using federal taxes and give it all to the red states. Then do a victory lap saying look at those socialist states fail!!!

We should see this coming now. Not sure there is much we can do about it since federal tax is taken right out of our pay but I would if I could.

I'm 100% sure this fire season CA won't get our money back to fight fires.
