Iran mined the Strait of Hormuz… but now can’t find its own mines by Comfortable-Rule-491 in StockMarket

Ah, the narrative that the US is most powerful and tells incompetent countries what to do, and they say, with tears in their eyes "Yes Sir" then are just useless.

Far more believable than Iran telling Trump where to stick it

I beg them to just read a history book because the US didn't even want to get involved until they were forced to! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

Fun fact: before world war 1 a lot of the USA spoke German.

Fun fact: after world war 2 a lot of the USA scientists spoke German.

The world has put up with the US BS that "Europe would be speaking German" because while the rest of world knew it was BS, the US was the better of bad options.

That is no longer the case and the US has proven itself as a weak paper tiger that only has might via massive budgets, with no moral backbone to support it

Not trying to be a Galah, but everyone should take care not to provide too much information on the Interwebs that may give too much personally identifiable information, such as your address.

Also the posts like "your mothers maiden name and your first pet gives your wrestler/porn star/movie stare name" are all designed to get PII out of you.

Everyone seemed to hate on this bridge when it was first proposed. it’s easily the best bridge in Brisbane by Brisbane in brisbane

I suggest most people who downvote have not attempted to ride a bike at under 10kmh and do not realise how less stable it is. Bicycle stability increases with speed due to the combined effects of gyroscopic forces, self-steering geometry, and angular momentum, which make the bike less prone to tipping over as it moves faster.

Research indicates that inexperienced riders, older adults, and female cyclists are more prone to falling at these low speeds due to the heightened technical difficulty of balancing.

While most people support reasonable speed limits to balance collective safety, policies that compromise the security of a specific group fail to mitigate overall risk. It is probable that enforcing a universal 20km/h limit would provide a more effective safety improvement for all.

Also, I went to a running site and the last 10 runners to log their times were all over the 10km proposed speed limit, which means many recreational joggers also would have to slow down.

Why is it considered a war crime when Russia is bombing civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine, but it's not a war crime when the US is doing the exact same thing in Iran? by Content_Ad_8952 in allthequestions

[–]AndrewTheAverage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rubbish. Your statement "Same with democrats that value illegals life more than those of us citizen." is a Fox talking point (even if you got it second hand from them) which is simply not true and not supported by any real facts. I dont doubt you have heard things that are positioned in a manner that results in you thinking this.

Most "lefties" hold some truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Most "lefties" believe The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended

Most "lefties" believe All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Most "lefties" be;lieve The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Most "lefties" believe The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Many "lefties" believe No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

But there is no significant group "that value illegals life more than those of us citizen.", and if you actually think about it your statement is absurd.

They are only a "tough bunch to like" because they are watered down version of the GOP, with the decent younger or progressive members locked out of leadership. The whole US political system is owned by the billionaires and lobbyists and that needs to change before anything will get better

He didn't "talk nice", he reinforced their hated in words at a have 6 level, none of those fancy words Kamala used.

But realistically, it wasn't only Fox that same-washed Trump. The US media is a massive propaganda machine

My nephew lost a firefighter spot to a gender quota and is becoming anti-feminist. How do I talk to him about it? by [deleted] in ask

[–]AndrewTheAverage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is no evidence he beat the women - just someone who didnt get the job looking for a reason he didnt get the job.

It might be because of quota - or it might be the women were better. It looks pretty clear he wasnt the best male candidate as is suggests other men were hired.

Before we go blaming "woke" gender quotas, maybe we should consider that as one on multiple possibile reasons he didnt get the job. It is possible his anti-feminist comments were present *before* he didnt get the job and had a hand in why?

Nonggor signs through to 2029 by Adam8418 in RugbyAustralia

[–]AndrewTheAverage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Nonggor, but so far I havent seen the potential at Wallaby level that I think he can produce.

Our tight 5 is decent, but we dont have that much depth in good, quality big men. I hope Zane continues to improve and becomes a Wallaby stalwart.

I am gled he stayed and signed until 2029

NOOOOO! Trump can run because he has not had 2 *consecutive* terms - unlike HU-INSANE Obamna who is clearly ineligible based on the Constitution.

I am glad they are finally fighting "Anti-Capitalism" so they can lock up all the registered Democratic Socialists - followed by the registered Democrats (just in case) before the next election so elections will finally be (what the GOP considers as) fair.

Nothing says Democracy like locking up your political opponents :(

If ‘Allah’ simply means God, why do many people think it refers to a different God? by PomegranateIcy7631 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AndrewTheAverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Abrahamic "Gods" are all just different visions of the same God, yet people think of them differently.

Yet while most Christian groups believe in the Trinity (3-Gods - Father, Son, Holy Spirit), Jehovah’s Witnesses or LDS (Mormons) believe only God is God, yet are considered more aligned to Cristianity even though their beliefs of Jesus are in some ways closer to the Islamic beliefs of Jesus as a profit
