- Comment on If you could have any vision-related superpower, what would it be? 2 days ago:
Future vision. Hello stock market. They can kick me out of a casino for winning too much but they can’t really do anything if I’m making too much money in the stock market. Even if they tried to claim insider trading or market manipulation or whatever they still have to prove it in a courtroom. They fail because I’d have attorneys because even a halfway decent attorney would win that one. I wouldn’t even have to claim my future vision I could just claim i’m just picking the stocks. They’d have to prove that I’m doing something else.

Re: the dmv and long lines. If your state allows it go to a smaller town the lines are shorter.

The library is an excellent resource
- Comment on [US] How do I find and vote for primaries and local positions in my state? 3 days ago:
Registering to vote and knowing (who is running and what issues are on the ballot) are two different things. Ok technically the stuff in the parenthesis are two items but I’m grouping them.

No that’s forward thinking
- Comment on I'm trying to understand a financial question in a video. A lady is saying that she will Payback equity when she refinances, but I'm not sure how that helps her in the context to the video. 6 days ago:
Thank you for the clarification, I actually thought the ex-husband was living in the house. But thank you for clarifying that.
And thank you for the rest of the explanation also in the first two paragraphs. And explains a lot of what is going on or might be going on.

Just to make this more awkward
Her: oh God, YES DADDY
Dad: COMING

Just be aware that in many areas if you aren’t divorced then sleeping with someone else is called infidelity. Judges tend to get pissed about that during divorce proceedings.

The difference is back then you’d only have news for example in the evening. It wasn’t going to be 24 hours a day seven days a week.

When they shut down Apollo (the app) I walked. Ended up here

Valmund used to be Voldemort but got caught lying and had to change his name. So yeah this is a bad idea.

I like this. Explains it fairly well
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 3 weeks ago:
Tell your mom you and her need to go to a therapist. Maybe a therapist can help to figure out how to move forward. Then tell your dad the same thing.
Maybe some of what was going on behind the scene will come out.
No one on lemmy will be able to give you a good idea of what to do or how to move forward.

Just curious what sort of abusive behavior
- Comment on If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first? 5 weeks ago:
As others have said. No you shouldn’t be charged with a hate crime. You didn’t know they were gay.
But let’s be honest when do facts like that matter when it comes to prosecutors that just want a win in the court room. So they might just charge you with the hate crime and destroy your name publicly. Then ask if you’d like a plea deal before it goes further.

Or maybe it’s a hypothetical question
- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 5 weeks ago:
It’s like most technology today. You just randomly keep pressing buttons until something happens, then memorize what you did to get there. There really is logic in most of it.
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. Too much demand and not enough supply. People get desperate and will look for a way to buy the organ.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 5 weeks ago:
Dry, stale, over priced.
Wouldn’t bother.
Just donate the money directly to that Girl Scout group.
- Comment on Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines? 5 weeks ago:
As much as I hate AI, you be amazed at how many times I’ve gone to a search engine typed in a question of how do I do X?
The search results when I click on the webpages may or may not be right half the time the people who designed the webpage didn’t put allthe information in so the information is either incomplete or wrong.
The AI result at the top of the page more often than not is actually correct.
- Comment on If my county passes a new tax for um lets say a new jail. They staff it and build it and everything with the tax money. How come it seems the tax is there forever? Why not get rid of it when built? 1 month ago:
Simply put because they want more money. Even though the jail is paid for at that point. They’ll just keep the tax and keep collecting and then spend it on something else.
Want to hear something that’ll really piss you off? Every year or a couple years and they’ll replace furniture and computers in city offices that need to be replaced. It’s totally in workable condition but they’ll spend the money anyways. Their argument is well if they don’t spend the money then they won’t get the same budget next year so they have to spend it now and yet the reality is they don’t need the equipment.
Then the city turns around, spends even more money on other crap they don’t need and then raise your taxes. Claiming They need more money.

North central part of the US
- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 1 month ago:
To me there is nothing wrong with asking or stating what country you are from. Unless you are from a really tiny country it doesn’t really matter if you state your country. For example I’m from the US which doesn’t tell you anything really about my exact location.
The US is about 3,000 miles across. That doesn’t included Hawaii or Alaska. It’s about 1,582 miles from top to bottom of the US again not including Hawaii or Alaska.
So my saying I’m from the US doesn’t give up much really but it gives people an idea about something about me and my heritage.
