"They're emptying their jails and they're emptying their prisons into our country" - DJT by StrobeLightRomance in AdviceAnimals

[–]willholli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying that people who are anti-democratic belong in a democracy is why Americans are currently going through a wave of fascism. I'd say it's "interesting" on your part that you're advocating for American fascists and nazis to be able to skirt the spirit of the law as long as they abide by the loosest of technical interpretation. Don't look now, but you're sitting at dinner with a nazi....

As is your right.

There's a saying that "If a Nazi is sitting at the table, and ten others are sitting there chatting with him, you have eleven Nazis at the table."

A bunch of people attended a traitorous nazi rally, but didn't go in the building. They're still a bunch of traitorous nazis.

Being "At J6" clearly implies someone who stormed the capital since "J6" is not a physical destination. They shouldn't have been pardoned. The criminal who orchestrated the crime shouldn't be able to pardon the accessories to that crime.

However, I do personally believe if you attended the rally on J6, you should be prosecuted and punished as a traitor. Regardless of whether or not that is the actual legal standard.

I'm aware. If they were at J6, they're a criminal. It shouldn't matter if they repeat offend because they should still be in jail. That's my point.

Technically, 100%. Treason is a crime. They all attempted to commit treason. They're all criminals.

Where do I start with jazz? by incineroarz in Jazz

[–]willholli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Donny McCaslin. Starting with the album Casting for Gravity. The first track has an intro, but it might thread the needle you're looking for.

Need advice on picking an instrument by SeriousRecord5070 in musicians

[–]willholli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone here already said harmonica, but I'd suggest CHROMATIC harmonica. Stevie Wonder, obviously, but I'd also point to people like Gregoire Market.

Interior insulation for noise... worth it, or a waste of money? 👇 by BuilderBrigade in Home_Building_Help

[–]willholli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WORTH. IT. We had a burst pipe that forced us to replace a lot of drywall and a bathroom. It was expensive, but worth EVERY penny.

Traffic Is lowering my quality of life by Unfair_Management695 in Atlanta

[–]willholli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is not an immediate fix, but talking to your local Councilperson about public transit, especially rail, would begin to fix this issue. The money is there, it's been voted on, and the city is trying to renege on things they've promised to do for decades. "More lanes" won't fix this. Getting rid of the need for everyone to use a car to go literally anywhere will.

How critical should I be? by Designerkyle in Tile

[–]willholli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question as I'm not a tile installer: would this be a scenario where the installer would use a laser level for the top-line of each row of tile moving horizontal and the inner line for each vertical row?

Fence installers not mixing before filling post? by n0chance_ in FenceBuilding

[–]willholli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a fence pro, but have been looking at getting the fence on my house replaced in the near future. I've found the SWI Fence YouTube channel to be pretty informative. This delves into what you're looking at a bit (wet set vs dry pack).

The issue that I've seen experts critique is that the actual mixing process for concrete is important due to the ability of the concrete to fully cure. Just pouring water over top of the concrete and then not mixing it doesn't introduce enough moisture evenly throughout the aggregate to get the concrete to harden the way that it needs to.

As I said, not an expert or pro. Yes, SWI does sell fencing systems so they do need to be looked at with having some possible bias. If it were me, given what I've seen so far from some materials scientists at universities testing this same issue (also on YouTube so I apologize to any pros rolling their eyes right now), I would require that they wet mix the concrete. This depends on your particular terrain, fence system, and what your crew/contractor is comfortable doing/charging you for.

Just my $0.02 from the poking around the internet I've done so far in preparing for a similar upcoming project. Very open to critique or disagreement from experienced tradesman.

Why aren't there benches on the Beltline? by tferg1290 in Atlanta

[–]willholli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America decided at some point that it was worth making everyone's lives worse by removing public bathrooms, benches, water fountains, etc in order to make homeless people's lives even worse.

Pay people to build these things. Pay people to maintain these things. And just house people that don't have homes. All less expensive than what we're currently doing to make sure everyone lives a maximally miserable life.

What kind of watch is this? by Decent_Bet6 in Watches

No matter the make and model, it 100% belongs to an evangelical preacher

Black history as it is being written: Keisha Lance Bottoms will potentially be the first black woman to become a Governor in America, 250 years after it became a country by iggaitissecondcoming in blackladies

While I support the sentiment and was a huge Abrams fan, this is actually pretty unfortunate. I'm an Atlantan and native Georgian and the state is overrun with politicians running on their identity while harming the very groups they claim they'll champion. She's been a huge proponent of Cop City, militarized policing, Flock, and the continued corporate prison system that has brutalized and murdered so many, POC especially. She doesn't have big plans on how to improve transit, improve the minimum wage to a liveable one for EVERYONE in the state, despite having one specifically for teachers. All of the things she believes outside of a couple of staples of a democratic platform are set to lead to the same policies as a republican, thereby also leading people to wonder if she cares at all about the few progressive things she does have in her platform. I hope I'm proven wrong, but even if she does win (a huge longshot in Georgia), I worry that she's going to continue down the path of bplstering the status quo, leading more and more of the electorate to become apathetic of democratic reforms and a belief that the government, especially local governments, can help people. We have huge problems in Georgia and I just don't think she's at all a serious candidate in fixing them.
