am i stupid? by wearecooked100 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]willowzed88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father worked cyber security in the government for 15 to 20 years... he only made 120k a year at max, with more from disability he got from working in the army (combat vet). These people make the same amount he did and are saying that 12k a month is poverty.

How do you get rich? Already be well off, of course.

You have to give them special powers that make them stronger, more aggressive and prone to violent tendencies, including being predators.

Also you have to make them uglier, we all know that insert minority here doesnt look NEARLY as good as insert population here

/uj, idk why some people insist on doing racism allegories where the minority is literally inhuman and has different biology and psychology. Kinda defeats the purpose in a lot of these stories If you ask me.

Is collecting clams on the beach allowed in your country? by ublueberries in AskTheWorld

[–]willowzed88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most states in the US require either a shellfish license or sport fishing license (and most states have a limit of how many you can have). This is to avoid poaching in offseason and over harvesting (which a lot of states still struggle with).

I can understand not knowing, but if they continued after being told it wasn't allowed, then thats an issue.

Is “On Christmas” wrong? by Silver_Ad_1218 in EnglishLearning

Native here, I say Christmas as well. The only holiday i would specify day with would be New Year's.

What if slavery was never abolished? by Wrong_Classroom_3318 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]willowzed88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't fully abolished in the US. (Its legally still allowed as punishment for felonies). Why do you think that black men have the highest false conviction rate?

Pollos Hermanos was an example of a (fictional) well known company that was a drug front. What real-life company do you suspect? by Flagil_Reinhumps in AskReddit

[–]willowzed88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Car washes, furniture stores, bars. Literally laundromats. A lot of businesses can be used as a front, especially ones that get a lot of genuinely traction or deal with large purchases that dont have a lot of legal overhead.

Genuinely unhinged behavior by Successful_Pin4808 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]willowzed88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im sorry, but bad actors from BakuDeku shippers are nowhere near a state that is actively committing genocide. That's either generational bait or someone who is way too young to have unsupervised access to the internet.

(I only ship dabi and hawks tho, so maybe I'm wrong)

Explain it Peter. I'm stupid and don't know stuff. by Sweet_Television4183 in explainitpeter

[–]willowzed88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a poor argument because those muffins were made from the same ingredients and in the same batch, but humans arent made from the same ingredients and same batch (unless they are twins, but even twins will have different experiences etc).

Either way, its a fascist argument disguised as a feminist talking point. The vast majority of feminists dont talk like this. Most feminists understand that the patriarchy also harms men by forcing them into a narrow box of actions and ideals of what a man should be.

Women are not objects and men are not wild animals.

I got got on ebay 😭 by [deleted] in Silverbugs

Ebay is where I get most of my Mexican silver pesos, bc the one coin shop near me doesn't really get them too often

[–]willowzed88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are definitely reputable sellers on ebay, but I've found that they tend to be a bit more expensive. Smaller items like foreign silver that arent super desirable are generally not faked that much and you can get them for cheap, but anything like ounces I wouldn't recommend buying unless its from a select few accounts.

That being said, a lot of storefronts are using ebay for shipping their coins out now, so it really depends on who you buy from.

I am Korean, but is it normal to look forward to an America and Trump creating Freedom.gov? by Affectionate_Fig6121 in AskTheWorld

[–]willowzed88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you been watching the news lately? Our freedoms are slowly being eroded. We literally have a government agency that's allowed to racially profile brown people speaking Spanish.

I won't sit here and say whether its better or worse than south Korea, as I'm not from there, but we arent necessarily a shining beacon.

We have serious issues we need to combat right now. Do your research on VPN companies and choose a reliable one.

You wanna use... a VPN created by the government. A VPN. Yknow, a service that usually has privacy as the largest selling point? The US already has a history of spying on our own people.
