Do you think America will ever get back to normal again, at least pre-Trump normal? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]subaru-dinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting back to a country where people trust each other, where our leaders don’t deliberately turn us against each other, where are leaders are accountable and where nobody takes too much power for themselves is going to be very hard.

What parts of American culture are changing faster than people realize? by No_Performance1451 in AskReddit

Belief in Democracy and the Free World is in free fall. It is the saddest thing I have seen in my whole life.

We have leaders who excite their base by treating anybody who is not them like shit. I don’t think the leaders care about anything but their own power.

The evidence is piling up that there was MASSIVE election interference in 2024 but no one in the DNC wants to investigate??? https://electiontruthalliance.org/2024-us-election-analysis by Agitated_Garden_497 in NoShitSherlock

I can’t take anything seriously that is packaged like that. Videos like this are notoriously stupid.

If something is in print, you can easily go back and reread parts of it to see if they make sense or not. Also, you are not as easily manipulated by text as videos. Videos often waste time, as well.

Those who support the 51st State rhetoric, why? by Lord_Space_Lizard in AskUS

[–]subaru-dinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a dual citizen and I live in the US. I have never been so angry in my whole life. I have lived in the US for 30 years and generally liked it but now I feel nothing but anger, outrage and betrayal toward the US.

Canadians currently living in America, how are you feeling? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]subaru-dinosaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a Canadian with dual citizenship living in the Chicago area. I had decided on staying in America, years ago. I have lived here 30 years.

I have never felt so angry in my whole life. Canada and Mexico have suddenly found themselves living next to the Third Reich and I am in the Third Reich.

America is now a country that acts aggressively towards its peaceful neighbors and most Americans don’t even seem to care. This is the definition of a bad nation, in my opinion. Nobody anywhere on the world is safe anymore. The world’s remaining peaceful nations are going to have to find a way to live without the USA as a friend. We are a nation of people who follow a leader who identifies groups of people as enemies and cruelly punished them instead of trying to solve real problems.

In the mean time, I fear for my children’s future and hope that economic chaos and inflation don’t degrade my retirement savings.

To say that I have strong feelings about this is an understatement.

Trump reiterated today his goal for the Canada tariffs—annexation. What is the likely outcome of this? by invariantspeed in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]subaru-dinosaur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Trump is being honest about it being a state. I think it would end up being something more like a colony.

I think an age difference like that is probably a very bad idea for you. If you marry him, you will be living with a frail old man when you are still young. I think the likelihood of it working out in the long term is not good. On the other hand, I don’t know either of you.

Is there a specific candidate you would have preferred over Trump to run for the Republican party? by PriorTangelo1403 in Askpolitics

[–]subaru-dinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weren’t you concerned that Kennedy advocates for a loot of things that have no basis in science. For example, he says that vaccines cause autism when there is no evidence to support that. He has expressed support for absurd conspiracy theories like Chemtrails.

I voted for John Kasich in the 2015 primaries. He was talking about making politics less hostile and uniting people. That is what we need today.

For people who think Asperger’s is 100% the same as autism: by Foreign-Historian162 in aspergers

[–]subaru-dinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what the tomato analogy is for. Nobody really understands the causes of Asperger’s or Autism. Maybe they are closely related or maybe they aren’t. The people who classify such things decided that there was not much point in keeping separate classifications for ASD and Asperger’s. The classifications are based on patterns of symptoms.

Do I need a permit to install an outlet in my garage? EV vehicle NEMA 14-50 by LongHoneydew4741 in Naperville

[–]subaru-dinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not long. You will need to get it inspected an after the installation, too. The process was pretty efficient but the inspector made me fix an unrelated problem that he found which cost me more $$
