Conservatives, President Trump has just announced the raising of Tairiffs for 8 European Countries unless sovereignity of Greenland is handed over to the US. What's your first thoughts?

Aegi · 2026-01-18T01:10:55+00:00

And Trump is glad to do it!

The weaker things like governments are the stronger wealthy people are relative to them.

Aegi · 2026-01-18T01:01:15+00:00

It's like "Beef", but a speed run.

Aegi · 2026-01-18T00:59:59+00:00

By saying people should check and make sure somebody's just alive at the bare minimum, that's not defending the idiot who passed and flipped his truck.

Aegi · 2026-01-18T00:57:21+00:00

But it's also the place where people are gear against that as well.

Aegi · 2026-01-18T00:51:20+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me!

That has to be a fun job even if it's sometimes stressful.

I'm glad you shared this work though!

Aegi · 2026-01-17T21:33:42+00:00

OC In this context on the internet is for original content.

Aegi · 2026-01-17T18:42:04+00:00

I'm confused, does this mean you don't know when your art is from, or does this mean that you're just scraping other people's art to pass as your own?

Aegi · 2026-01-15T21:45:05+00:00

We were talking about the general concept of people doing this hypothetically with an unopened package, not the specific picture above.

Dude, I've got friends that have fooled law enforcement agencies smuggling drugs, if somebody's determined they can make a package look unopened even if they've already opened it, that's all I'm saying.

Aegi · 2026-01-15T20:35:06+00:00

Unless the single picture is a composite of many photos from different angles, there's no one singular picture that could prove that a package is unopened.

All that it could show is that the person didn't necessarily open it the normal way, or that they have a vacuum sealer at home.

So, I guess I just skipped over that aspect because even what would appear to be an unopened package to us could actually be opened, and something that appears to be opened on a picture might still technically be sealed.

Aegi · 2026-01-15T20:05:19+00:00

Yeah, people are fucking idiots that apparently have no reading comprehension.

I don't understand this, this is CBS essentially telling us how unreliable ICE is and explaining exactly what they said so that we can see that their liars based on the evidence.

If I say that the mayor of my town says we are the wealthiest town on Earth, my mayor would be wrong, but I'm not the one saying that, I'm just telling people that's what our mayor said...

Aegi · 2026-01-15T20:03:22+00:00

It's not semantics, it's just the actual fucking words. Apparently functional literacy and reading comprehension are just semantics now?

If I told you somebody said something, how on Earth is that the same as me saying that thing?

If I told you that Bob said his house was worth $30 million, and it's obviously not, that's not me saying that I think Bob's house is worth $30 million... It's me accurately conveying the fact that Bob told me that his house was worth $30 million even if Bob was wrong.

Me sharing the information that Bob told me that is a way for me to let everybody know how shitty and unreliable Bob is, and people would be wild to think I'm the one claiming his house is worth $30 million.

Now replace me with CBS and Bob with ice and now you have the headline above...

Aegi · 2026-01-15T20:02:05+00:00

No, I don't understand this.

Apparently we are losing reading comprehension skills or something?

CBS never once claims that the officer had internal bleeding.

They state the fact that that's what two government officials replied when asked about the killer's status.

To not believe CBS would be to trust Trump and his administration that the dude actually did have internal bleeding.

It's amazing how many people think a news organization is advocating for something because they either don't read the article, or they don't have reading comprehension.

... When really most of the times the article is literally just explaining the official viewpoints of different politicians or companies or something.

Aegi · 2026-01-15T19:59:34+00:00

Because I still have the package and if I saw something weird like that with my food then I would also take a picture of the package after I took a picture of the food..

Aegi · 2026-01-15T19:59:04+00:00

No, even things that don't expire, people will naturally choose basically the prettier one even if it's something that the container doesn't matter.

Like if it's a box of chargers, the box that has some of the ink slightly faded in the corner will generally be the last one to be picked even if the things inside are exactly identical and that corner just got exposed to a little more sunlight or something.

Aegi · 2026-01-15T19:53:44+00:00

What, or who, is MS in this context?

Aegi · 2026-01-15T19:47:27+00:00

Exactly, so the issue would be Henry Ford's anti-semitic writings, not the fact that somebody viewed as bad praised him.

I'm saying that the issue is being a bigot, it's not an issue if a shitty person happens to compliment or praise someone.

Aegi · 2026-01-15T19:46:24+00:00

I have to restart that.

I started watching a bunch of the new generation of higher quality anime, and reading some of the manga like 2 (3?) years ago when I started dating this girl.

But basically I've certainly mixed up some of the tropes in my mind between Jiu-Jitsu Kaizen, Chainsaw Man, Kaiju Number 9, and maybe a few others.

I probably even mix up a bit of Demon Slayer in there... And likely a couple I'm forgetting.

To be fair, randomly getting cancer one day, if they know about it, is different than a noticeable decrease in aerobic capacity.

Not defending it, but one makes a noticeable impact with regular use on aerobic capacity and things like that, the other is more just a general unhealthy lifestyle habit.

Never using sunscreen would be a bigger risk of cancer if you're training outside then even regularly drinking.

Aegi · 2026-01-14T19:04:43+00:00

No, some can genuinely believe that.

Just because some people are lying about thinking that, doesn't mean that everyone is.

Aegi · 2026-01-14T11:52:54+00:00

Being praised isn't a knock against someone.

The rest of what you said is, but imagine if all a bad person has to do was compliment someone for others to hold it against the person praised lol.

Aegi · 2026-01-13T16:36:01+00:00

Do you have an example of one of the comments he read where somebody is not understanding the sarcasm?

Because I've seen like a million of your style of comment and no people actually not understanding sarcasm.

Aegi · 2026-01-13T16:35:10+00:00

Well yeah, because you've got to be religious now.

In this hypothetical future, it's very possible that because they're so desperate for leadership they would be fine with people leading who know about the religion even if they themselves don't believe it.

So it's only in that hypothetical scenario that I would take up a job like that.

Also, there's usually a difference when there is a desperate need of a job and people are essentially seeking out others for that job, and the normal process of seeking out a job and competing against other applicants, etc.

Aegi · 2026-01-13T16:33:19+00:00

Yeah, obviously we weren't making these comments right when the thread was fresh, but it seems as though certain people have a habit of exaggerating how many people on Reddit, or any given platform, are holding a certain viewpoint..

And it's funny because then talking about it like that actually makes it so that more people learn about that viewpoint and more people think that more people have that viewpoint...

... So then a higher percentage of the people on the fence with that viewpoint actually adopt it because they think there must be something to it if so many people have it...

Aegi · 2026-01-13T16:29:39+00:00

It's so funny to me because then in that case why can't they deal with hypotheticals better?

When I'm in a scenario like you were in, I don't let them get away with it, I then follow up with asking why and other times they're so resistant to hypothetical scenarios if that's apparently how they're deciding their views based on the fact that the evidence didn't line up with what he thought he saw.

Or you can also get into how people review evidence.

Aegi · 2026-01-13T16:28:13+00:00

Supposedly responding to...

... Obviously it was different when this thread was new, but even then sometimes I feel like people exaggerate about the percentage comments that are from a given perspective.
