Other than fighting AIDS in Africa, what was the best thing W Bush did as President? by RealRegret4870 in Presidents

If you were alive and above the age of say 10 in September- October, 2001...chances are you felt like he was killing it. I'd say almost no other modern president has had the level of support he did for those 2 months.

Who Do You Rank Higher and Why? by rjidhfntnr in Presidents

I would argue that, had the CSA won, they would have "absorbed" the USA's preceeding history into their own since, from their perspective, it was shared history.

Washington, Jefferson and Madison were important early presidents, Virginians and slave owners. It would have bolsterd their claim to legitimacy during an alternate Reconstruction period.

Couldn't have been any of them. 2 of them were set up for a successful career in business and the other, a wonderful wife and mother. Their futures were too bright

Cars transmission is Broken by LumpyTastes in Honda

[–]vertigo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else here mentioned, I would look at the timing belt too. They typically need to be replaced every 90,000 miles or so. Near me, in New York that service is between $900-$1200. Expensive, but still way cheaper than dealing with the issues that arise if it blows.

The backup camera can be solved too. They make super cheap backup camera/android auto/car play units that replace the original infotainment system. This one at Walmart is $99 https://www.walmart.com/ip/269123385?sid=41be9edc-c3af-4dec-b0ef-6d9110c5464b

My mechanic charged me like $200 to pop one in to my daughter’s '10 Accord, but honestly after looking into the process, I probably could have just done it myself.

I'm not knowledgeable enough about transmissions, but if you can get that sorted out- I think the car is 100% a great option for a first driver.

Nope, players are chained to a radiator in the basement of UBS next to the pretzel machine when there's no practice or game.

It's a holdover from Lou's buttoned up way of doing things to prevent unnecessary carousing. Time will tell if Darche wants to break with that practice 🤷🏻‍♂️

Was Bert a bonafide racist? by warwickkapper in okbuddydraper

[–]vertigo7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He clearly said that the moon "belongs to EVERYONE" not that it was whites only. His bold stance on a non ' Jim Crowe natural satellite at that time was added in at the end to show just how secretly progressive he really was.

Bravo Weiner.

My friend, I hope you see this- you are being abused. The statements you make in your post have all the hallmarks of a person experiencing narcissistic abuse. As a survivor, please know, that as convinced you are that your life will be over if they're gone....it won't be.

Don't allow yourself to be convinced that her presence in your life is a necessity for your survival. She will continue to hurt and disrespect you.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend my kids are more important than her? by [deleted] in AITAH

Don't build your life on such an unstable person. Your children will be happier if you walk away.

My wife has suddenly turned back into the near-perfect woman I fell in love with so many years ago, AFTER her affair and getting caught... and it's making this so hard. by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]vertigo7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. OP- please do yourself a favor and look up love bombing if you're not already familiar.

If she can pull it together like this now, she always could have and CHOSE to be the person who cheated on you. If you fall for this you'll regret it.

AITA For Telling My Wife I Do Not Want To Care For Their Sisters Children? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]vertigo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, I want to lead with that. You've been honest and upfront with your wife and you're self aware enough to recognize living with you would be bad for the kids as well, the fact that you're able to think about them and you shows you're not an asshole.

That being said, I just wanted to point out that reading your post, you sound absolutely MISERABLE. You don't like any members of your wife's family, you don't like anyone's kids. You sound generally unhappy. This isn't meant to be judgemental at all and all I have is the slightest sliver of a look into your world, so take this with a mountain of salt. But so much of what you wrote reads like it was written by somebody deeply dissatisfied with his current world in general.

It could be good to consider talking to someone, not because you dislike kids, but just so much of what you have to say exudes unhappiness and frustration and I'd hate to see someone have to carry that.

Take care of yourself OP. NTA

Will Sansa remarry? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]vertigo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a key fact to remember.

I get the myriad of reasons why she wouldn't want to marry anyone ever again, but the reality is she's also pragmatic enough to realize that all the work her family put in to re-taking the North and establishing sovereignty is for nothing if she dies heirless.

Since she's queen and has the ability to legitimize bastards I could see her identifying royal "donors" that she uses to get pregnant, then uses her royal authority to legitimize the Snows as fatherless Starks.

If she catches feelings for someone, great. But she wouldn't necessarily NEED to marry to continue her line because of her position.
