Am I actually wrong here about Trump being closer to libertarianism than Democrats in some major areas?

I got buried in r/AskReddit for saying Trump isn’t a libertarian, but that parts of his agenda overlap more with libertarian principles than Biden/Harris on things like taxes, deregulation, gun rights and shrinking parts of the federal bureaucracy. I also acknowledged that tariffs, immigration restrictions, deficit spending and government ownership stakes are clearly not libertarian.
The replies mostly said “Trump isn’t libertarian” as if it disproved the narrower comparison I was making.

Am I missing something, or is “Trump the furthest thing from a libertarian” just as overstated as calling him one?

Either way I’m being downvoted because of Reddit hive mind…

These vegan protestors calling people murderers are single-handedly selling more steak than Costco

Listen.
I got no problem if you don’t eat meat. Eat grass. Eat air. Eat a shoe. I don’t care. Live your life.
What I got a problem with is the ones standing outside screaming that I’m a murderer and an animal molester because I bought a pack of chicken.
An animal molester.
You hear yourself?
That’s not activism. That’s a hostage situation.
Every time one of these people gets in my face with the “meat is murder” routine, I don’t go home and cry into a salad. I go to the store and I buy more meat. Not even as a bit. My brain just goes, “Oh, you’re gonna talk to me like that are ya? Cool. Ribeye’s on sale.”
Because that’s what people do when you try to morally mug them in the parking lot. You don’t convert them. You piss them off. You make the burger taste better.
And don’t act like this is some deep ethical conversation. You’re not Gandhi. You’re a guy with a megaphone calling a construction worker a child predator because he ate a cheeseburger on his lunch break. That’s not saving animals. That’s you wanting to feel holy in public.
Most vegans? Fine. Quiet. Eat your tofu, go home, nobody’s mad. It’s the loud ones. The ones who think if they scream “murderer” loud enough, the whole country is gonna drop a 10,000-year food tradition and apologize.
Guess what muffin head: it doesn’t work. It does the opposite. If I was thinkin of having a salad you changed my mind YOU turned my dinner into beef buffet. Congratulations. You invented the world’s worst ad campaign and it still sells product.
You wanna actually change minds? Don’t compare my grocery list to a felony. Dont expect me to eat 10 cups of broccoli over a bit of chicken tit.
Until then, keep yelling.
I’ll keep grilling.

Never have I ever been pulled over and ticketed for 5 over

Careful out there people yes I broke the law…I know.

Edit; Context:
Was driving in traffic with a dark red 1987 firebird…my speedometer showed 70 and so did the CHPs radar. I was not going any faster as there was just no way I could if I tried. Unless I rear ended the person in front of me

Neighbor has middle-school daughter that is dating a 24yr old what else can I actually do? (Already filed anonymous CPS report)

Looking for practical advice on what options I still have.
There’s a rental house one door down from me (not my direct neighbors). The tenants are clearly heavy into drugs police are there at least 3 times a month, sometimes more. The front window of the main room has been shattered for a while and it’s just left like that. The place has that obvious trap-house vibe. Landlord is some out-of-area investor that only cares about the rent check clearing. Classic “as long as they pay, we don’t care who lives there” situation.
Their middle-school-aged daughter has been openly making out with a 24-year-old guy who shows up at the house. I know his age because he was talking to my actual next-door neighbors (who are solid people and also concerned) and stated it. This isn’t subtle it’s happening in plain view.
I’m not looking to play hero or confront anyone. I just want to know what else is realistically possible…

Maybe someone could enlighten me about the training meter

I consistently workout 4 days a week at least. I don’t always get my steps in…but I do make up for it in rowing and what not. For whatever reason my training meter states I’m
“Well below” whatever that means…maybe I’m missing something, but I close my rings every day.

I’ve been getting mixed responses about buying a case “to protect the bezel” and others saying “you don’t need the case” which is it?

I’ve gotten to know this watch for about a week now and so far I like it. I went with my instinct to buy the ESG case and screen protector. Because I saw how the coating can scrap off the bezel edge like on the iPhone 17 pro so any insight on this would be great.

Is PPPKit.com legit for at-home PPP removal or sketchy? (Concerned about bots & old thread)

Been dealing with PPP for years and saw this kit popping up: https://pppkit.com/
It’s an at-home hyfrecation/ionizer thing with numbing cream that claims to zap them off safely like a derm would, for ~$149. Says 25k+ users, tons of before/afters, 4.9 stars, money-back guarantee. Ships discreet.
But there’s this 2-year-old thread exactly about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/DermatologyQuestions/s/M1kJPzpSYE
And I’m seeing what looks like heavy promotion across Reddit (dedicated sub, accounts pushing it). Worried about bots/fake reviews.
Anyone actually used the real PPP Kit from pppkit.com with good (or bad) results? Scarring? Regrowth? Worth it vs seeing a derm for laser/electro?
Not trying to get sold on, just real talk. Thanks.

Just curious to know what makes this photo ai and hoping for more keen eyes that can help me pinpoint them all

It’s obviously ai…but I look mostly at the letters…I’m wanting more signifiers that might be missing

Marred my lower as I forgot to install my bolt catch spring and detent…attempted to hammer it out and now it’s jammed in there and the roll pin is all messed up and no matter how hard I attempt to hit it out with my roll punches on the opposite end it won’t budge…how screwed am I?

Update: I just used vice grips and my vice and it went in…

Update: actually I just threw my purse at it
