I gotta be honest dude, what makes you consider yourself right wing?

Your GF is in STEM, you'd support her continuing her career if she wanted, you split chores fairly... none of that is things I would consider "traditional" or "conservative".

Policy wise, you're mostly vague. Economically you don't seem to have any actual opinion beyond "things aren't working as they are". You're pro-choice(Yes, even if you would only choose to abort in a dire situation, that's still a pro-choice position), which is not a right wing position.

Like, what actually makes you right wing? Based on what you've said so far, I don't get it. Are you secretly racist as fuck or something?

We should fix the cost of healthcare being our of control, rather than subsidizing the treatment and lining the pockets of big pharma

First of all, what is our current healthcare system doing if not lining the pockets of big pharma? They get to charge whatever they want for lifesaving treatments because there's no regulations on it, and everyone is expected to just pay out the ass for insurance to maybe have it cover a portion of the bill.

More importantly though, universal healthcare is CHEAPER than our current healthcare system, so that covers getting it "under control"*. There have been countless studies showing how switching to a single-payer system would reduce costs, while still guaranteeing every citizen healthcare.

- (Why do we need to get it under control, though? Slash a $100B off the egregiously bloated as fuck military budget and healthcare has all the funding it needs)

Ehh... you can make a fence sitter into a Democrat, sure, but I really don't think you can convince anyone still willing to call themselves a Republican in 2023 to do more than stay home on election day.

As far as which companies "deserve" it, it would be quicker to list the ones that don't.

Thank god PGA is officially dead, finally. My first Ryzen cpu came in the mail with bent pins, I spent fucking hours straightening all of them. Worth it tho, got 5 years of life out of it between me and my brother before it was finally allowed to rest and spend the rest of it's life on a shelf(it still works, its just slow).

Mood. Worst part is, if I set this many, I'll wake up before the first one goes off. Every time.

If I set a normal amount of alarms, or god forbid no alarms, I'm not waking up for hours past when I should've.

Fuck, I just lost the game

Cyber woman make do.

It's still kind of a weird way to request that information. They could have just upfront asked "is the hot water tap not working at all, or is it just not hot?".

But you are going to be using more space on your phone.

In which case we circle back around to "storage is cheap". Music is the only substantial space hog on my phone.

But like, why? I'm going to be listening to the lossy version on my phone 90% of the time anyways, and my headphones are not good enough to truly appreciate lossless either. It doesn't matter that I have over 4tb of storage on my PC, I still don't wanna waste an extra 50GB for no tangible benefit, when I could use the same extra 50GB to more than double my lossy music collection if I wanted.

Magnets, how do they work?

I sweat buckets in my sleep so an evening shower is basically useless for not stinking during the day.

Agreed. Even assuming you know the person wants a pet and can handle a pet, you're still robbing them of choice in what pet they get. The poodle is cute and all, but little timmy really would've preferred a border collie.

Pretty much the only scenario I can agree with gifting a pet is if you know they want one, know they can handle one, and finally when it comes to the actual gift giving, it starts off with a trip to the animal shelter so they can pick their own companion.

Poison immunity wouldn't help, at best it would prevent the panic feeling and hallucinations caused by breathing in CO, but the lack of oxygen would still kill you.

Because the US expanded from the east coast towards the west. The midwest is west of the OG colonies, but not as far west as, well, the west.

Philly, on the other hand, is culturally... Philly.

No, it's definitely a data cap. For one thing, you're not getting gigabit internet, let alone giga_byte_, on a plane... but they also list the actual speed for the 20MB cap, a pitiful 64kbps. That's barely faster than dial-up.

I'm pleasantly surprised it's not Marvel related, personally. Although I'm bemused that it has nothing to do with the norse god Loki at all.
