The overwhelming majority of MAGA Cuban-Americans* are just ignorant racists.

Ignorant racists that support the suffering being inflicted upon their own ‘home country’, as evidenced by their continued support of MAGA. Traitors to their own country and undeserving of the title ‘Cuban’ in my opinion.

The overwhelming majority of Cubans, are still in Cuba.

I’ve generalised quite a bit in this conversation. There is of course quite a bit more nuance than I’ve touched on; and groups of Cuban-Americans out there that see past the lies they’ve been told, disillusioned and against the suffering inflicted upon their home. To those I salute you.

Read the rest of this conversation.

They were definitely Cuban Americans from Miami.

My bigger point is these people have little to no legitimacy in claming to be Cuban. They were rightly forced out by the population they had enslaved, and continue to seek greater suffering for those people.

They don’t GAF about the actual Cuban population, all they see is a farm they no longer control and that infuriates them.

Fuck these people and what they have to say; they do not speak for Cuba.

CUBANS - actual Cuban people, that live in Cuba - do not support MAGA, nor most of America and it’s government. For damn good reasons.

If you read father down you see strange things like them not wanting Trump to negotiate with the ruling family and not approving of allowing the Cuban government to continue to exist with only economic reforms.

Because these people seek only the eradication of those who opposed them, and the return of their slave colony.

Note: There are groups of Cuban-Americans who do believe in true justice for Cuba and it’s people, and have disillusioned themselves from the indoctrination of their peers. I applaud those that have and hope they’ll fight for their country.

How many of those respondents are actually Cubans (ie peoole that actually live in Cuba) vs Cuban-American slave owners that were forced out of Cuba to America and just want their plantations and slaves back?

Nobodys actually asking Cubans, because they don’t care what Cubans think/want. America just wants to retake it’s slave colony.

Cuban-Americans* over a certain age are MAGA.

Because MAGA has most recently promised they’ll crush Cubas success and get their slave colony back for them. They don’t see or care about the suffering inflicted on Cuba and it’s citizens.

It is good to see some of the younger Cuban-Americans breaking away from that indoctrination.

What had me commenting was the articles use of ‘Cubans’ and the implication that they mainly support MAGA. They don’t mean Cubans, nor do they care what actual Cubans think. They meant Cuban-Americans, a very different group, whose priority is recapturing their slave colony.

(Generalised, again good on you and your mom for breaking away from that.)

I’d venture to say most Cubans aren’t MAGA, given it’s blockade of their country leading to their suffering.

Oh, we’re talking about the Cuban-American sugarcane plantation owners who were forced out of Cuba by the Cuban slaves they ‘owned’, not the actual Cubans…

I set a walmart on fire once… ~12 years old, unsupervised, and playing with flamable liquids in the garden center…

Identified and spoken to by investigators, but still unpunished. I happened to be leaving the country with family in a few weeks, so they just let me go.

Perfect, draw my attention so I remember to fuck with it

Seems easier to just look at how many were rung up at the till…

Something like a TSA key that fits the lock in addition to the owner’s key.

‘TSA approved’ locks have a seprate keyway specifically for TSA to open and inspect your bags.

There is something called ‘Master Keying’ (not talking about the master lock company), where you can setup the pins in a lock to open for multiple different keys. Commonly used in places like hotels and motels: one key only opens your door (this is the one given to you at check-in) and another key that opens all the motels locks, given to management/cleaning staff so they can get into each room without needing dozens or hundreds of keys.

This requires each lock to be explicitly setup with the correct pins to accept both keys. Not super common now, but you still find them now and again.

The TSA have 3-4 specific ‘TSA keys’ (which are easily purchased), and they demand you use a ‘TSA approved’ lock which has an extra keyway explicitly for them to use. If you don’t use one of these locks, they’ll cut yours off during inspection and give it back to you in pieces, with no compensation.

Yup, considered another type of lockpicking tool. Depending on the lock; clumsy, loud, and often ineffective. Usually defeated by security pins and/or different strength springs in the pin stacks. Plus you have to have the correct key blank for the lock cylinder you’re attacking.

That master lock I’m familiar with, I’ve actually got one sitting on my shelf righ now. I could be mistaken; but I could have sworn those were warded lever locks; needing more than just the tip, but at least one if not two other positions to raise all of the levers as well. Perhaps I was wrong there, they may be even cheaper than I had thought (I’ve not actually dissected one as they’re riveted together).

As I had said; exceptions.

The tubular lockpick is what I posted… So yeah, I’m aware of it and it’s usage…

Or you buy the right key, which is what OP did.

This has been my point in this entire conversation. OP didn’t buy some magic ‘universal key’, they bought a regular key that happens to be commonly used. Nothing special.

Yes, they’re only relevant to purely warded locks which are largely nolonger used in the modern world (exceptions always exist, the world isnt black/white).

In the world of pin-tumbler or tubular locks - what we’ve been talking about - the closest equivalent would be a comb pick/key; which is a bypass tool (or lock pick) that only effects poorly designed locks with pin stacks shorter than the chambers they’re in, when they’re fully compressed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these for a tubular lock, but they may exist.

Each of the little pins you see in the ring of that lock are equivalent to the pins in a typical pin-tumbler lock you’d find on a front door. The corresponding round cutouts in the edge of the key barrel set how far each one is pushed down when you insert the key.

Yes, there’s just one little tooth that rotates the lock, but only after each of those pins are pushed down to the correct depth. These are almost always really cheap locks, so you’ve only got to be kind of close tbh, but you do still have to be close.

You’ve just got a copy of walmarts keys. (Or a near enough approximation) nothing ‘universal’ about it. I don’t think you explicitly tried to get ‘walmarts keys’, but got lucky enough with whatever random key you bought that it happens to work.

There’s no such thing as a literal ‘universal key’. There’s commonly used keys (like what a large international retailer might buy and use in bulk…), and there’s lock picking tools.

A ‘universal’ key, IE a key that can be used to open multiple different locks. So yes, a lock pick. What were you expecting?

Not all walmarts are the same, many haven’t ‘upgraded’ to digital locks. Still an interesting tool for the arsenal.

That’s just a key, presumably a copy of the specific key that your local walmart uses; there’s nothing ‘universal’ about it.
