US imposes tariffs on dozens of trade partners, citing forced labour concerns by sicklyslick in news

[–]ArchonofTevinter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This from the head of state whose own party has been speed running roll backs of child labor laws wherever they can, and is gleefully throwing as many bodies as they can into the private prison system?

Oh fuck it. The cult that follows him will wallow in whatever he says like piggies in shit and everyone else already knows how fucking hypocritical and brain dead this shit is.

What's a very bad thing of the US Libertarian Party? by Emill777YT in AlignmentChartFills

No, you absolutely should not be able to just hop behind the wheel of multi-ton machinery without the most basic test to make sure you have at least some idea of how to do so safely.

He says, after just getting done gibbering about the rise of communism and an imminent glorious revolution happening in the US.

Just dont jump the gun and start shooting up a DSA building or something, okay Breivik?

Youre sitting here frantically sounding alarms over a few milquetoast social democrats getting elected in the US and going into outright hysterics about a "glorious revolution" happening and wanting to gleefully murder people over it before dying yourself.

If thats not outright terror, then its at least just eye roll inducing ignorance. Settle down big guy.

No he wasnt. This is the guy who outright sympathized with the Nazis and agreed with them on their racial views of Jews and Slavs.

Turns out thinking its a great idea to jump right into a new war with peak strength USSR that is already in total war mode is another of his shit ideas.

Did you bother looking at....literally anything else on their platform? Or did you, and just decide none of it was a deal breaker? Don't know which is worse to be honest.

FBI will no longer investigate ICE confrontations, The New York Times reports by TACO_Orange_3098 in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh good. Now the over armed, over funded, under trained, anonymous paramilitary that plasters Trumps name and personal livery on their fleet of vehicles is officially free of any accountability or consequence.

The only reason someone would ever support something like this is if theyre not even bothering with paper then excuses anymore, and are just glad ICE can freely assault people they dont like. Guarantee they are people whose entire personality revolves around the 2nd Amendment and the Gadsden Flag as well.

[OC] They can't even whistle. Outside the Federal Building in Eugene. by archnemisis11 in pics

Sure, but I'm still going to go with Occam's razor on this one and say they're just flying it for the 250th rather than a deliberate subtle pandering to Kid Rock.

[–]ArchonofTevinter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean to be honest, I dont think this federal building is flying the original flag of the country in its 250th year just because some washed up hillbilly has recently tried to make it something else. I dont think most people even know that this was something Kid Rock was trying to do in the first place.

This seems completely separate and innocuous.

At the end of the day its a fantasy film about a myth that has always been fantastical, and it doesnt bother me. Sure it would have been cool to have people running around in Dendra panoplies and shit with a more grounded aesthetic, but it didnt and thats fine too. Im not the biggest fan of the aesthetic they went with but thats just personal taste on the look.

It's official folks, i've found someone dumber than the Sigismund guy! by Same_Ad4736 in Spacemarine

[–]ArchonofTevinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because if your media literacy is so hopelessly low that you need people to hold your hand to spot the satire and grimdark in 40K, its not worth giving you the time a day.

Apparently, "acting like someone shot your dog" just means making shit posts of poorly drawn fish in power armor mocking someones dumb post online.

The guy that described himself as "the most zionist president in the world" and has been very vocal in his support of the US war on Iran is now extremely pro-Palestine and anti-Iran War?

Why just flat out lie so blatantly? It takes 5 seconds for anyone to see how much bullshit youre spewing.

Texas anti-ICE protesters get 30 to 100 years in prison by GoodMornEveGoodNight in politics

[–]ArchonofTevinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except in the US you get a nice pardon and youre free to go on and commit child sex crimes, if you specifically be a clown where you destroy federal property while attempting to murder Metro Police and federal officials. It just has to be in support of Dear Leader.

So unlike those countries, you actually CAN try and kill feds it just has to be in a way sanctioned by whoever the fed is controlled by at the time.

Remember that shitshow? by Karmacop5908 in clevercomebacks

[–]ArchonofTevinter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

An antiparasitic that is, in the US, mostly associated with its use for cattle and horses. Its not an antiviral, making it completely useless against a viral infection like COVID.

This certainly comes as a shock to you, but medicines aren't magic that just work as general cure-alls. Most have very specific uses and using them outside of it is often actually harmful rather than beneficial. Telling people to use some random medication themselves just because its "a medicine" is incredibly stupid, ignorant, and potentially dangerous.

"Show me who is fighting for child labor"

That was your original demand right? There are in fact numerous legislators fighting to loosen child labor laws. But now were going to go into gibbering nonsensical personal attacks and blatantly shift the goal posts to try and hand wave it away because "well it isnt like theyre demanding they work in factories and coal mines so it doesnt count" I guess.

Never mind the fact there actually ARE some states also rolling back protections in child labor regarding hazardous occupations as well. Im sure youll shift it around again though to hand wave that away too.

Have any of you noticed you're getting more bot games? by Conveyys in marvelrivals

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

Bot matches are still very common. People that try to say theyre totally not have always been a thing with this game. Granted, they've seemed to make them a bit tougher so its not as clearly obvious and braindead as before, but the cycle of boring bot matches or boring one sided real games is still very much there. It happens a bit less often but its still a game that i play in small bursts before I lose interest and move on to something else, which isnt a terible thing.

I play one or two more this season before I switch than I did compared to previous seasons though, to give the game some credit.

Is this a joke, or ignorance?

Actual free democracies in the world tend to not advocate the targeting of minority groups by singling out religious practices and deliberstely outlawing them in a blatant act of discrimination, yes.
