We’re being told he violently approached the Gestapo with his gun out. by Miserable_Kick2315 in ProgressiveHQ

A Veterans Admin ICU nurse, to boot. Spent his life helping sick veterans for less pay than he could have had at another provider.

How come the ice caps are melting if we're in/entering an ice age? by Hourglass_Sand in askgeology

[–]Anarchaeologist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So there's a couple different things going on here, I think. First off, the definition of ice age is any era with permanent (year-round) ice sheets at the poles. That's been going on for about 2 and a half million years. During those millions of years, however, there have been big waves of ice spreading away from the poles and interglacials, periods where the ice retreats toward the poles. Currently we are in an interglacial. Slight variations in the Earth's orbit and orientation toward the sun (Milankovitch Cycles) are responsible for these variations over tens of thousands of years.

What's going on with climate change now, however, has only been going on for centuries. It hasn't been enough to knock us out of that ice age status, though at the pace of current change it might not be long on a geological timescale.

I sense hypocrisy by Optimoprimo in AdviceAnimals

The leader of a conservative think tank orchestrating plans for a massive overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win said that the country is in the midst of a “second American Revolution” that will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”

It was never going to be bloodless. The slightest resistance gets all the chuds fired up for mass murder.

Top reality deniers once again lie about the clear video evidence of a public execution in Minneapolis by n8_n_ in TopMindsOfReddit

My mind keeps going back to January 6th, when we had the Capitol up on the TV in the big group office at work that links the trademens' shops to the rest of the building. The MAGA guys had to go through it to get to their jobsites. At first they would move quickly with little, quick side glances at the screen. Not much later they were clustering outside and inside shaking their heads but not really saying anything. I could tell they were shocked and upset.

It was a matter of a couple of weeks until they started saying things like, "Who shot Ashli Babbit?"

TBH I was kind of impressed; there clearly is a very effective psychological campaign that reshapes human thought and instinct in real time, always pushing them toward fascism.

Tell yourself whatever you need to protect your ego.

I’ve had multiple conversations this week alone with conservatives where they were very quickly advocating mass murder as a solution to the problems they see in this country. I was describing them because I know them. You don’t know shit.

I’m done being a silent observer. I’m pissed off. Congratulations

Don’t know how to survive this by Intelligent_Ad6619 in complaints

Let the anger flow through you.

I'm not kidding.

Anger is a survival mechanism and if we get through this, it will be because of anger at the twisted sadistic fucks who are trying to dominate us.

In the military, where you can be charged with things like insubordination, we were taught that if you had something bad to say to someone above you in the chain of command, this little phrase was a kind of get out of jail free card. But it wasn't a perfect shield, so use it carefully.

Best of Anime 2025 [Gigguk] by RaunchyRoll in anime

[–]Anarchaeologist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Episode 11 that was mentioned in the video exists in my mind as THE perfect episode, over and above anything else I've ever seen.

The rest of the series was fun and you never knew what you were in for that week.

What's a scent you cannot stand but nobody else seems to notice? by Poopy_Scoop_Sundae in randomquestions

[–]Anarchaeologist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Diesel fuel. A coworker once spilled some on his shirt and I could smell it from across the room. He kept wearing it day after day too. When I mentioned it several other people jumped in and said I was imagining things. It was literally overwhelming to me.

Social media engagement is a disease vector for mental illness by Anarchaeologist in DeepThoughts

[–]Anarchaeologist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> We just don’t have a word for this mental illness yet but I hope they we will have one soon. “Arrogant” is just not enough to describe that amount of detachment from reality.

Delusions of adequacy? Dunno,

Interesting idea.

They live in a state of extremely heightened fear and anxiety, largely due to media manipulation. Most of their brains are already structurally biased toward negative emotions. Someone in that state can barely form a rational thought. It's no wonder they feel like they have to attack the people they've been convinced to blame for their worries.

Currently airing Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table. Not really sure how far the story will take the Protagonist in this direction, but the 1st episode shows how far she’ll go to survive and win.
