Without more info and without knowing you:
It’s either a perception issue. You feel like they are competing with you and yet they really aren’t.
Or
You’ve surrounded yourself with people that are highly competitive. So they make everything a competition.

Just saying the word nazi won’t get you banned. Here or Reddit. But if there was something else that you did along with it that might get you banned

North American?
Seriously though I don’t know what NA is supposed to mean.
I know the N word in reference to black people.

Thank you
- Comment on Exit poll: Labour to win landslide in general election 3 weeks ago:
I’m from the US so I’m a little confused by the statement of :
looks set to secure the win with an estimated 410 seats - equating to an overall majority of 170
They are going to have 410 seats or are they increasing by 410 seats?
And explain the majority of 170 please. I’m lost.
- Comment on How would I troubleshoot an AC unit that isn't working well. 3 weeks ago:
Check your breaker for the ac. If it’s off the central blower will turn on but the ac unit (the part outside of the house won’t turn on). Go outside and look if the fan out there is spinning.

Interesting reaction to what was a logical statement. He was simply stating how things are.

Yeah this is manipulative as hell he needs to run like hell. Today. Not tomorrow.
- Comment on Work from home 3 weeks ago:
True. Sorry should have specified in the US they can just say we are letting you go and you’re done. Which as far as I’m concerned is basically a catch all statement of “we aren’t going to tell you why, we are just firing you”.
- Comment on Work from home 3 weeks ago:
It’s funny as this is, I’m quite certain if somebody actually tried that the real world they’d get fired. That will employment means they don’t even have to tell you why you got fired. They’ll just wait a couple of weeks or a month and tell you goodbye.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it would have nothing to do with the fact that after world war 2 no one would take in the Jews. So a Jewish state was created. Nah nothing to do with that at all.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 4 weeks ago:
In 1948 when Israel was formed as a nation state, the borders were set at that time. It would not have been a problem but terrorists (think Hamas and other groups like that) kept going across the border into Israel and killing and committing other crimes. Israel fought back.
As Israel fought back more cross border raids happened.
Israel puts up the iron dome ( understandable because of the missiles being launched at them).
Israel pushed their borders to try to get some breathing room. I disagree with their belief the area should be settled. Make it a DMZ ? Fine, that’s a legitimate usage. But to settle it? Now they are (in my opinion) expanding their territory and not creating a buffer zone.
But I’m not sure what the answer is.
Leave Palestine alone and allow hamas to keep doing cross border raids?
Keep responding to the individual cross border raids and attack hamas? That doesn’t solve the problem because hamas will keep coming.
Put other nations militaries on the border? Hamas will just call that an act of aggression by those countries and attack those militaries.
Hamas has a belief that all Jews everywhere should be killed. So where would the Jews even go?
Just expand their nation ( Israel) to the ocean? Ok then where do the Palestinians go?
I’m not sure what the answer is.
The state of Palestine was split to create two countries Palestine and Israel. Because historically that was the Jewish homeland. But how do we solve this current problem. I have no idea
- Comment on What should I know about buying / replacing a garage door opener? 2 months ago:
My brother did overhead garage door install and repair for about 20 years. He will be the first one to tell you stop screwing with it. What might be a minor cost if you call right now could be a major cost of keeps screwing with it. He seen cases where have they called right away. It been the service call, a couple hundred dollars. Service call meaning trip charge.
Because they kept screwing with it it was a very large bill. If I remember right, the worst one was where he had to replace tracks, garage door opener, and I think there was even a panel he had to replace.
Another person said you can just track the tracks to see if there’s something in it but beyond that. I’d just called a professional.

As you look at your down votes I think something else will become clear.

First someone asks if this is sarcastic
You say it’s not
Then someone says you must have been home schooled Or never have gone to school to not know this
And you reply that’s the joke.
So which is it? You knew or you didn’t?
- Comment on What are these "bass" and "treble" that I see in an equalizer ? 2 months ago:
Bass is the deep tones. Think kettle drum or something like that. When you sit next to a car in traffic and you hear that deep sound that’s annoying as hell. That’s bass.
Treble is the higher notes. Treble can also be mid range notes.
- Comment on When investing your money, what is considered a good rate of return? 2 months ago:
It depends on how long you are investing for.
Per year you need to beat the rate of inflation. If you don’t at least match the rate of inflation you lost money. But four percent higher is pretty by good. Not based not great but pretty good
