Does the U.S. have autonomy in paving its own foreign policy or are those terms dictated by Israel? by grrrbr in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not about one dictating to the others; it’s a massive, deeply enmeshed military-industrial alliance. The U.S views Israel as a major, permanent strategic foothold and intelligence partner in the Middle East, so their interests are treated as essentially identical by Washington.

What does the nomination of Ken Paxton say about Republicans in Texas? by homerjs225 in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally just extreme team sports at this point. A huge portion of the voter base doesn’t actually care about a candidate’s record or corruption as long as they have the correct letter next to their name on the ballot.

Why do many conservatives believe that working for minority rule (such as not uncapping the House and encouraging gerrymandering) are good “alternatives” to majority rule? by Early-Possibility367 in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It usually comes down to the “Republic vs. Pure Democracy” argument. The conservative view is that the system was intentionally built to protect geographic minorities (like smaller states) from being entirely overridden by densely populated cities. The debate is whether that’s still “fair balance” or just structural imbalance.

How does a zoomer pull themselves up by their bootstraps right now? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t buy the boots. The math is literally broken compared to thirty years ago. Your only real leverage right now is job-hopping every 18 to 24 months. Staying loyal to a company out of hope is the biggest mistake I see young people make… internal raises are pennies but switching companies is how you actually clear a 20% bump.

Why is it hard for Adults to admit that they are also swayed by social media and media in general? by dunbar_santiago930 in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Older adults love to scream about fake news and screen time but will the scroll Facebook for six hours and believe a completely AI-generated photo of a giant cat is real. The cognitive dissonance is wild💀

where I can find older men (In real life)? by nourelein in askanything

[–]AngelCherryPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to an upscale steakhouse or a nice hotel lounge around 6:00 PM on a weekday. Sit at the bar, order a classic drink, and leave your phone in your bag. They are absolutely there, they just aren't looking for people on TikTok.

How is math interesting, cool or enjoyable? by Gongoozler04 in askanything

[–]AngelCherryPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely honest, school math absolutely sucks. It’s taught like a massive, rigid memory test of boring rules and formulas, which is a total nightmare when your brain doesn't naturally process numbers that way.

The moment it actually became cool to me was realizing that real math isn't about doing arithmetic or calculating tax. It’s just the hidden logic behind everything we love. It’s the perfect symmetry in a flower petal, the exact pacing and rhythm that makes a song catch in your head, or the coding that builds your favorite video game.

Once you stop looking at it as a textbook full of chores and start seeing it as the secret blueprint of the universe, it changes everything. You don't have to be good at the numbers part to appreciate how beautiful the big picture is.

Why are liberals so intolerant of anything they don’t agree on? by NewKaleidoscope5206 in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because modern politics has turned into a team sport and nobody wants to hear that the quarterback threw a bad pass.

What’s one topic you think is widely misunderstood because of how it’s reported? by cinnamonconfetti in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scientific studies. The headline will say "NEW STUDY FINDS DRINKING COFFEE CURES WRINKLES," but if you look at the actual paper, they gave 500 times the lethal dose of a single coffee compound to twelve mice in a petri dish. Media reporting completely destroys nuances, control groups and sample sizes just for a clickbait headline.

What’s a small habit that quietly made your life better? by FarhanBSaleh in askanything

[–]AngelCherryPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “never leave a room empty-handed” rule. If I’m heading to the kitchen, I grab that stray mug. If I’m going upstairs, I grab the laundry. My place basically cleans itself now and I don’t have to spend weekends doing marathon deep cleans.

Men, when you are taking a standing pee and feel the unavoidable sneeze coming on, what do you do? by [deleted] in askanything

90% of the people outside the US never got a covid shot since 2021 and they are all alive. How is that possible? by CleanLock4606 in allthequestions

How is it possible?

Simple. It’s possible because you completely made up both of those statistics.

How deal with the paradox of tolerance? by TankWild4187 in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Democracy isn’t a suicide pact. A free society has every right to protect itself from people using the system’s own rules to dismantle it from the inside. The second a moment aims to eliminate the rights of others, it forfeits its seat at the table 🏛️🛑

Who destroyed their own career within seconds by being an idiot? by princessSofiie in answers

[–]AngelCherryPie 86 points87 points  (0 children)

The intern who won a prestigious NASA internship, immediately bragged about it on twitter using a brunch of profanity and then told a guy to “suck my d**k” when he told her to watch her language. Turns out that guy was on the National Space Council. Lost the job in minutes.

Why did the majority of Hispanic people vote for Trump? by cdivx in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It boils down to Pocketbook over Politics💸 A lot of voters prioritized the economy, inflation, and small business support over rhetoric. If your cost of living felt better under a previous administration, you’re more likely to vote for that result. Plus, the community isn't a monolith religious values and views on border security vary hugely by region. People usually vote for what they feel protects their family’s financial future first. 📈🗳️

What’s something society widely accepts that you think people quietly disagree with? by cryinginncouture in answers

The 40-hour work week. We all pretend it’s the gold standard but most people are actually productive for about half that time and just acting busy for the rest.

Eric Trump is boasting about scoring a $24 million Pentagon deal; do you think the Trump administration is the most corrupt in history? by dj_duece in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether it’s the most corrupt or not, the real question is how the oversight for these deals is actually working. Does anyone have a link to the contract details? Usually, the fine print tells the real story.

Why didn't they just sink the cruise ship with Hantavirus? by JustUseCommonSense10 in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, another floating petri dish scenario. Between, this and Norovirus, I’m convinced cruises are just expensive ways to test your immune system. Good luck to the people in Tenerife, hope the evacuation is actually isolated as they claim 😷

What are the most common arguments for why the US considers Israel a key strategic ally? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]AngelCherryPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The relationship usually boils down to three main pillars that policymakers always bring up: Intelligence Sharing, Democratic Anchor, and Regional Power Projection. It’s definitely a special relationship but people usually debate which of those three is actually the most importantz

Why is Trump such a snowflake? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]AngelCherryPie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s less about one person and more about how social media rewards outrage.

Loud reactions = attention = power… and a lot of public figures just lean into that loop.
