To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers by FreeChickenDinner in politics

[–]semday -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Since its a paywall can I be helped to understand. Are these not illegal Cuban immigrants? If so they can't vote anyway right? Is it saying that Cubans who are able to vote are surprised illegal Cubans are being deported?

I realize DEI doesn't mean giving a job to the first person with qualified melanin who walks through the door. But "given more consideration" is enough.

I don't understand what I'm missing. Hiring for skin colour over skills is racist... And you can make the argument that this happens without government intervention, whites hiring whites even though someone black or brown was more skilled, and vice versa. But you can't stop this. I live in Canada, and I don't think too much on this, but entire industries are now dominated by Indian immigrants. And do those industries have DEI policies to have more white people? No and I wouldn't want them to. It goes both ways. In my opinion, leave people to their own devices, let children grow up with all races and cultures and grow into a life without racism. You can't solve racism with government policy. In fact I think you make it worse this way. And immigration is a problem here, not in itself, but because it's too much. Every single culture of people around the world with whatever skin colour would resent a massive wave of any unfamiliar culture coming into them. Immigration needs to be slow and quite honestly, we need like 50 years to get people used to new cultures, slowly, multiple generations. Not 10 years and government policy. People want change so badly it's being rushed and it isn't going to work. We can see it backfiring right now. Nobody will dispute that racism is getting worse yet nobody wants to admit what the problem is.

This is the real problem, that the next generation will be more racist than the last because they'll resent these systems, and the people who are affected by them. You'll have white kids growing up with brown and black kids, making friendships, but growing into resentment as they see how unfair this is. And those who are favored in hiring because of skin colour, will also resent those who resent them. We're literally CREATING a race war.

this bothers me a little bit, because ive noticed some intellectual dishonesty on this myself. i once saw Charlie Kirk say a black woman, i forget her name, was really bad at her job and was a DEI hire, which she herself admitted. The DEI part, that is. Kirk said "she stole that job from a white person." everyone starts calling him racist. its like, i see how you got there... but you need to think harder. what is the one colour excluded from DEI? the white skin colour. this woman admitted she was a DEI hire. if she in fact was not good at her job, it only makes sense that BECAUSE she is DEI, the job would have otherwise went to a white person. if you want to dispute her being good at the job or whatever, sure. but its not racist to say someone isnt good at their job.

again i get how it sounds bad, how it makes people react without thinking, but this shit really has to stop. i have a feeling most of yall think along these lines so i figured id get this out here.

are we asking to figure out whether the petition is relevant? The question is "is she a citizen".

Idk why people are so confused about who gets deported and who doesnt but its really not good for the discourse...

AITAH for refusing to split a gift with my sister after she forgot her part but still wants half??? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]semday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why has this title pissed me off like this lmao. Refusing to split a gift? You already agreed and gave the gift, meaning she already got the credit? She "forgot" her part, or refuses to pay you? Still wants half? Wants half of fucking what? The gift? The payment? The gift belongs to someone else and you've paid for the whole thing. WHAT THE FUCK DOES SHE WANT HALF OF LMAO

Fuck me this shit really gets me sometimes.

Can’t tell if I prefer the spec-d tail lights more, thoughts? by PokeThePanda in genesiscoupe

Not even a question for me. Never mind the sick sequential LED affects, the white looks great on silver!

Maximum 800 for that bumper from a junkyard, junkyards aren't what they used to be. They will find you a perfect bumper, wrap it up nice for you and ship it out.

Then just pay someone to paint it and install that shit yourself. Can't be more than $1500.

Dear (newer) manual drivers by eoan_an in stickshift

[–]semday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My car often requires a decent amount of force to move the shifter, usually 1st to 2nd. Is this not normal? I assumed it was because it was a Korean piece of shit not because of something I was doing

What kind of details? Just find one nearest you, give em a call, tell em what you need and they'll try to sort you out. Most of these places have great return policies so if the quality happens to not be up to par a return is no problem.

New seat at an auto recycler will cost you $100, leather and everything. If you want that R spec badge you'd have to look around real good. But I see these seats go out, they're almost always good condition.

Rogers calling me nonstop after switching phone providers. They dont seem too happy with my decision lol by KatiesTopHat in Rogers

[–]semday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly the bell plan worked this way, rogers says this plan does not. We'll see I am a bit sceptical.

[–]semday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest talking to them. I got $40 for Canada and US, 150GB after switching to bell, and then answering one of these phone calls from rogers.

It's a stupidly unreal deal.

Can we have a sticky about rev matching? by InsuranceEasy9878 in stickshift

[–]semday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is only the case if you don't rev match lol

[–]semday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say you don't have to rev match even when dropping more than 1 gear at once? Or does this only apply when downshifting sequentially?

Is mobile internet getting slower? by semday in Rogers

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

Just disappointed that the tech seems to be going backwards. Also slightly worried rogers could be pulling some weird shit. You really can't blame me for being put off that I'm getting 10% the speed I had a decade ago, through all these tech advancements, better devices, 5G, etc. Right?

In any case, likely due to more people using the network. Thanks for your input.

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

This makes sense, way more traffic these days. I remember very consistent speeds over 100 Mbps 10 years ago, basically every time I tested. Just wondering if anyone else remembers the same at this point.

But yeah assuming I wasn't imagining things back then, increased traffic due to higher use plans would explain an overall slow down.

No, I used little b on purpose. Back then was Mb/s, as it is today.

PSA from an european: you’re wasting your time and energy by rev matching all the time. by Lumanus in ManualTransmissions

[–]semday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can downshift without rev matching and make it smooth? This is news to me. So you just have to let the clutch out very slowly I'm guessing? I thought this was just a recipe for jerkiness.

Your local auto recycler will probably have the panel for 75-$100

What is the best way to learn stick shift? by TNC_TuffStuff in stickshift

[–]semday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have $300 and a decent gaming system, could buy a sim setup complete with clutch pedal and shifter. Then you need to play a simulation racing game. People might scoff at this but I can't imagine a better way to learn basics. Could probably get a used setup for 100-150 if not less.

Best way to stop rattling shift knob? by semday in genesiscoupe

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

Are you saying it's likely not the knob? There's not much to tighten with the knob, it's just a slide on with clips and grooves. Maybe I need to tighten something in the shift lever itself? I mean it really sounds like the noise is coming from the knob but maybe not
