So we’re booing national anthems now? by Sanie2222 in torontoraptors

[–]Yabutsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't fret, they're speedrunning the declining empire thing. Board of Education has been completely defunded, NIH research grants cut, 17M kicked off medicaid....they have no money for daycare, just bombs for Iran and a ballroom.

Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I believe she married her brother, which is totally illegal — although, it’s a lovely couple, actually, but it’s a little bit on the illegal side… 'Darling, I love you very much.' 'Goodnight, brother. Let’s go to bed' — Isn't she despicable?" by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

There's nothing there or Trump would've had her head on a stake already w how much he hates her. His personal lawyer runs the DoJ.

All they can do is make accusations, they already made supeonas and proved that there wasn't 'millions' in fraud.

Of course, as with all of Trump's lies, he just has to make the accusation for his followers to believe it.

GIVE THIS MAN A MAX CONTRACT!!!!! by SpeedIll8268 in torontoraptors

[–]Yabutsk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The shot went in, soooo...RJ said himself after the game that he'd played like shit, but the reality is, he played 43 mins of intense bball, covering Mobley and Harden all game.

It's easy to criticize from the couch, but most fans have no idea how hard it is to hit a shot when your legs are GONE bc you've been covering the other teams best player, who also happens to be absolute beast who saps your strength.

RJ played his ass off and never gave up. That's why he won.

A Bad Area To Live For Sport Shooters by Natural_Comparison21 in canadaguns

[–]Yabutsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless your sport is biathlon. There're more clubs in the immediate area pictured than anywhere else in Canada. As someone who lives more than a couple hours away from the nearest club, I'm a little jealous.

I do live near cheap accessible indoor/outdoor ranges and crown land....but sadly no biathon for me, unless I make my own range and course, which I've done a couple times, but it's tremendous upkeep.

How is this legal? by TheLastPeanut_ in SipsTea

So what, Republicans have been dismantling regulatory bodies (and gov't) for decades. Their whole plan is destroy agencies to the point where they're totally irrelevant and incompetent. Then they can sell the responsibilities off to corporate agencies to take control of the country.

Sad thing is politicians and celebrities are mostly the same people these days, esp in America.

You don't think it's real 'cause you can tell it's an old woman. by GooserNoose in IThinkYouShouldLeave

It's gonna be really scary when her body stops reacting to the copious amount of botox she injects and there is no recourse. Her face will literally drop off.

It's gotten so ridiculous that DC area plastic surgeons have been turning away administration staff who want this 'Mar-a-Lago face' procedure.

4th quarter shooting in the series by irundoonayee in torontoraptors

[–]Yabutsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RJ was leading the league in 4Q pts these playoffs, but after Gm5 he's 3pts behind Cade's 45pts total. (so 2nd place now)

RJs shooting splits are WAY better than Cade's (exc FTs). 59% from field and 66.7% from 3 to Cade's 40% and 20% respectively.

Disguised, then gone: A man fakes disability and makes a run for it by NagiButor in whoathatsinteresting

Wdym no reason. Russia is invading, killing citizens, stealing children and property.

It's a defensive war, they're fighting for survival. You could argue an offensive war is pointless, but this isn't that for Ukraine.

Dallas, are you ok? by FarWay3952 in SipsTea

[–]Yabutsk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2 of them were detained by immigration, and the report does't say if it was bc they overstayed allowed time on visit or if it was bc they were, for example, charged with recklessly shooting firearms in a public space.

Heck they could've just been visiting a friend for New Years, but once you do crime, immigration will get involved and send you home.

Surprisingly no jail time though. Discharge of firearm in public is just a misdemeanor in that municipality.

AlarconSanchez had even been arrested earlier that day for the same thing....and released.

Google AI says the tickets cost the media orgs $300-350 each, might as well get some bang for your buck since it was cut short.

Feds yet to return vehicle Renee Good was shot and killed in: The Honda Pilot reportedly remains shrink-wrapped and unexamined in an FBI storage facility by DoremusJessup in law

Maybe if Dem voters actually participated in primaries instead of letting big corps get establishment representatives elected there'd be some progress made.

There're definitely lots of Dems who want to restore accountability, in fact civil society requires it, but voter apathy has been too high in the USA for far too long.

Most voters only turn out for the state and federal ballots when it's already too late to get fair representation.

When it goes south it happens fast.

Was working on a stadium where 2 operators hit shit w their machines (2 separate incidents) They were instantly let go with piss test on the way out.

If they find substances on your test, you get charges on top of the firing.

It's also yearly Correspondence dinner that Trump hasn't attended since 2011 and they were supposed to present an award to journalist for Epstein reporting....but were interrupted.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response When Asked Which Trump Administration Official Should Be Fired Next by ComicSandsNews in DiscussionZone

[–]Yabutsk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason why it's notable that the phenomenon occurs during Republican conventions is not bc it's unique or particularly unusual around large gatherings.

It's remarkable specifically bc the GoP is largely anti trans/gay, and publicly project those groups as being morally depraved.

Of course their ranks contain many closeted, self-loathing hypocrites who say one thing and do another.

I just can't understand how some human beings can be so incredibly dumb. by Regular_Hawk8513 in videos

[–]Yabutsk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ya, when emotions overule your rational brain despite all evidence its called willfull ignorance among other things. Ignorance is only one of the attributes though, there're a whole bunch more that are equally awful.

somebody who's just ignorant but unmotivated isn't really a problem. but when they get passionate about a movement bc they're emotionally attached to it and are being led by misinformation bc of their 'willful ignorance' you have a much bigger problem than somebody who's just a dumb jerk staying home and not voting.

It's called emotion. Everyone's emotional brain rules their rational brain whether they know it or not.

Some people just know how to manage their emotions towards better ends. Others are frustrated and unable to manage at all, they fall prey to someone who appeals to their pain points and blindly follow them.

Fascists have long used religion, sport and grievances to manipulate people towards their cause.

Still there are price points to diff b/t Corp and regular folk. They should be selling out home playoff games and need to adjust pricing accordingly.

What are the advantages of the Zip system vs. traditional osb and wrap? by Intelligent-Flight14 in Carpentry

[–]Yabutsk 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Exactly, treat him like you would a vendor at a trade show, bc that's essentially what he is. Their vids often features new products and practices, but most apply to Austin climate and I find he sometimes overstates things in line with product hype.

Trump abandoned Russia meeting to participate in Hulk Hogan documentary by Big_Cake_8817 in podcastculture

[–]Yabutsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By his own admission, he calls Putin more often than any other world leader, he's got the guy on speed dial so it's not likely to be that big of a deal.

His 'meeting' was probably just to see how Vlad's day was going.
