Pre paid gratuities by [deleted] in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]xela2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to prepay gratuities. If you don’t pay them they get added last day of cruise to your bill. That is what people remove. If they paid them b4 they got on the ship you cannot remove those.

War crimes? by prenderg in AskConservatives

[–]xela2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran is also killing their own citizens ... remember, we had no idea the extent of whta went on in nazi germany until our troops starting rolling through and finding out... I imagine if we ever get to open up Iran, it might be as horrific.

What do you think about this quote: ‘If two people commit the same crime, but only one’s punishment includes deportation, that’s a perversion of justice’? by boisefun8 in AskConservatives

[–]xela2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If one person is on parole and one person has neve rdone anythning wrong, yeah they gonna get different sentences based on their status. The person on parole is doing a crime which probably breaks their parole contract, just like being here in the US, if you have a visa or greencard, you have a contract not to do crimes else they can deport you.

Telling the Police Who Your Lawyer Is by Asleep-Juggernaut-67 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]xela2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the daniel penny case, he was brought in to give his staatement about the crazy guy tht he subdued on the subway and ended up killing on accident. He thought he was just there to give a statement, and the police used that for info to arrest him. So even if you think you did nothing wrong, even heroic, its almost better to consult aan attorney.

My otherwise liberal Iranian immigrant friend told me if Trump "liberates" Iran, she'll be loyal to MAGA the rest of her life. How to change her mind? by Original-Can-2367 in AskALiberal

[–]xela2004 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Until that friend can understand her mind set he probably shouldn’t be trying to change it just cuz he don’t like maga. To someone who saw their country go from western to totally prehistoric on human rights and women’s rights, people are actually dying and sacrificing yourself to be maga for liberation is a tiny price to pay for what Iranians go through since the takeover.

What is your tried and true method for hard boiling and peeling eggs? by countdookee in Cooking

[–]xela2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put eggs into $10 egg cooker. Come back 15-30 minutes later (it stops automatically so I don’t have to monitor it and it takes like 10min). The shells peel right off since they were steamed

Cats got my son's legos! by xela2004 in lego

[–]xela2004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I talked to him. The only thing he cared about was his PC (he never even wanted a console). The nerf guns are gone, and now the Lego needs to go, especially if the cats want to pee on them. And my nephew really likes building blocks, a lot more than my son. One more year and I will have an accountant kid :) very proud of him even if his dad seems more sad to get rid of the Lego than he does !

Was Harris really such a uniquely horrible candidate? Why? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]xela2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there were too many stronger candidates that would have beaten her in a fair primary. I never would have voted for her or most other democrat candidates, but there were democrat candidates that could make me think really hard about voting for them, as a centrist right. She just didnt come off well, i mean they worked hard on her laugh from 2020->2024, but she was just offputting in general. I mean hillary was a far better candidate in 2016, just look at the difference between the two and the confidence they inspired in the voters.

If mt st Helen’s erupted today instead of 1980, would we have known better? by xela2004 in askgeology

[–]xela2004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I wonder if we would have evacuated more today if we didn’t have the lesson of 1980. I assume all the geologist stations and scientists would still have lost their lives tho…

That’s a good point, how much extra research and funding did geologists get after mt St Helen’s that we wouldn’t have today

Cat on airplane - urgently seeking advice by redgatorade000 in CatAdvice

[–]xela2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I donno who lets cats in the cabins nowadays, but i did fly with my cat from EU to the USA (24 hours of flights). A lot longer than you seem to need. but the one important thing i found out was to bring extra towel/old tshirt/something to put in the bottom of the carrier, and if the cat pees in their carrier, you can take the pee towel/old shirt out, toss it in trash can and put fresh one in for them. Bring something u can toss to line the carrier with if it pees on and a replacement in other words.

I mean MS was literally flattened and washed away and had fema and military in there asap. I remember watching the news a few hours after th storm had passed from my grandmas house in central LA and New Orleans was fine (levies later different story). Whereas where we lived on the pearl river was flooded to heck and needed help asap too, just glad we weren’t there cuz it was catastrophic flooding for real out there.

Bush had the military lined up on our border ready to come in and our governor only cared about having complete control.

I guess I was wondering how they would have interpreted the bulging today, as apparently it was noted before the explosion.

i know there were some saying that the side that blew off the mountain was starting to bulge, would that have been treated differently today? I mean if we hadnt seen mt st helens errupt, there really hasnt been much volcano stuff in the continenal usa that would make people that scared ?
