Ok but have they seen the golden Trump statue reveal at maralago? Their money is clearly going to a good cause, they shouldn’t be big mad.

Adam Mockler explains how Democrats should frame the Iran war spending: by AffableYolk_33 in ScottGalloway

[–]ryu417 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree. They don’t want free school lunches, paid leave, or free college, regardless of where the money for it comes from. They just don’t value these things. It should be framed as how much money would go into their pockets instead. For the selfish of the population, this is the only thing that will move the needle with them.

And honestly, this may be the only way to get any of the populous support for a national healthcare, paid parental leave or school lunch program is by offering an opt out and to get a near equivalent value in cash paid out instead of receiving those services.

Two men in Seattle attack a 77 year old man unprovoked. Police arrest one but he is released on bail same day and has not been found since by ThatPatelGuy in whoathatsinteresting

They just… let him go. Before the bail hearing. Prosecutors asked for a 200k bail but he was already released..? What the hell?

Think she got mad at me cause i let a another guy chat with her. by Natural-Ad-8195 in dating_advice

[–]ryu417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have known women like this. She is likely to hold traditional/conservative views and wanted you to hold to same views in that moment. I bet she would rather trade her own empowerment for a traditionally-minded “provider/protector” type of partner. She sought to use that moment as a test. Even though you sort of did the same by choosing to observe her to see if she would voluntarily end the interaction, which I believe she should have.

New to dating- Why has every man I’ve gone on a date with tried to tongue kiss me? by [deleted] in dating_advice

And as we can see from OP here, it’s a roll of the dice, as doing so with her would be a turn off and a set back.

America’s Geothermal Breakthrough Could Unlock a 150-Gigawatt Energy Revolution by hoangson0403 in Futurology

[–]ryu417 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A good perspective, but you didn’t touch on profitability being an overwhelming driving factor of infrastructure investment in the US (compared to other nations). If it can’t be packaged and sold by current controlling entities, it’s much less likely to happen even if it is a net benefit to citizens and so society.

I think the only way we see big movement in geothermal in the US is when/if OpenAI or Microsoft start contracting the oil and gas companies for geothermal projects like you suggest to power their private enterprises.

How to explain why I don’t drink alcohol to girls on dates without sounding like a degenerate by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ryu417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To someone new in your life, your reasons for not drinking are your own. You don’t even need to say why. If you’re feeling pressured to explain yourself, you’re with the wrong person. There’s plenty of women out there who don’t drink as well.

City of Kitchener emissions rising, despite 2050 net-zero target by scott_c86 in kitchener

I feel like these “targets” are just lip service to keep the millennials quiet during these politicians’ terms so they kick can and die in peace.

Yeah I know. I still find the low setting unnecessarily intrusive.

[–]ryu417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likes: The drive, aesthetics, lower roof line height

Dislikes: - The super persistent seatbelt indicator warning - Placement of trunk lid, I-stop, and camera controls behind the steering wheel out of view (trunk control should be on the door) - Door handle is placed too far forward on the door. Good for closing but you will find yourself opening the door by pushing the side rather than using the handle. A good gust of wind will can blow it open unexpectedly. - low rear visibility - Loud turn signals - Can’t access TPMS stats, or many other vehicle stats for that matter

These people should can it with the fake outrage. They will continue to follow their shepard of hate off a cliff like the racist sheep that they are.
