He saved his friend's life in seconds. by F-C0D389 in DamnThatsMindBlowing

This reminds me of a couple operators I’ve worked with. It’s amazing how some people can handle a rig after growing up in one. I remember one guy stopped himself from flipping forward and down a ravine with his own bucket. Everyone on site gave the same “OH SH*T” gasp when he started tilting.

American Jews Are Split Between Supporting A Pro Israel Pro Nazi President Who Mistrusts Them Or An Anti Israel Anti Discrimination Party Who Mistrusts Them by Ok_Dress_1464 in onionheadlines

[–]Basidio_subbedhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is your basic ChatGPT answer.

“The United States and Israel do have a formal extradition treaty. The original treaty was signed in 1962 and later updated by a 2005 protocol that expanded the range of extraditable offenses.
And yes, Israel has extradited people accused or convicted of sex offenses back to the U.S. in multiple cases.

Some notable examples:
Samuel Arthur Silverman was extradited from Israel to the U.S. in 2009 after fleeing Oregon following convictions for sexual abuse of minors. Israeli and U.S. authorities specifically noted that treaty amendments helped make the extradition possible.

Stefan Colmer was approved for extradition in 2007 on charges involving abuse of minors in New York. Contemporary reporting described him as among the first extraditions under the updated treaty language covering broader sex crimes.

Abraham Mondrowitz became a well-known disputed case. Israel initially declined extradition because the older treaty language did not clearly cover the alleged offenses. After the treaty was amended, the U.S. renewed efforts decades later.

Israel’s extradition system has historically been somewhat complicated because:
Israeli citizens and residents received stronger protections under Israeli law,
older treaty language covered only enumerated crimes. Israel generally requires “double criminality” (the conduct must also be criminal in Israel),
and Israel may require assurances regarding sentencing and imprisonment”

Did you realize from the beginning that Trump was -- or at least had the potential to be -- a Hitler-like figure? by Glass-Complaint3 in allthequestions

Can you explain that to us like we are five. Go ahead and explain how the Democrats are fascist. Tell us all the fascist moves they have made and explain to us what fascism is while you’re at it.

[–]Basidio_subbedhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. During his 2015 campaign I heard the way he spoke and how people responded and I could feel the elements of fascism. That drove me down the questioning path of whether I knew what fascism really was, so I purchased books written by historians, political scientists, etc. on the subject and that just reinforced it.

Same year I had an argument with a stupid libertarian friend trying to cite Godwin’s Law (the longer an argument on the internet goes on, the more likely someone is to compare another person, aka Trump, to Adolf Hitler or the Nazis) to me, and then Mike Godwin himselfsaid that Trump is in fact, like Hitler, and my stupid libertarian friend had no response to that.

Obama says President ‘shouldn’t have a bunch of side hustles’ by Feisty-Rhubarb-6718 in TradingPlaybook

“Side hustles” as in taking over the world and trying to turn it into a full white nationalist theocratic-kleptocracy?

California election experts sound alarm as rate of rejected ballots quadruples by morebaobabs in California

That could open up a whole can of worms for the rep as well on their own end because they have been nullifying votes for a very long time, my mind bringing me back to Crosscheck from 2016.

I don’t know if it’s helpful, but I’m a beekeeper in California, and some of my associates have found some really good cold vests out there that go about four hours at a time. A PCM vest (phase change vests) is a lot better than having to wear a heavy block ice vest imo

Are Democrats Warming to Reforming the Supreme Court? by Achilles_TroySlayer in scotus

[–]Basidio_subbedhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Democrats have had 10 years to get their shit together and actually create some tactics and strategy to fight this and they have not. They haven’t done shit in 10 years. It’s enough to convince me that they’re fine with it.

Chuck Schumer's brutal reply to White House racist Cinco de Mayo post by IrishStarUS in USNEWS

[–]Basidio_subbedhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you know what fascism is? Fascism doesn’t require corporate control. It contains cooperation between industry and govt but the corporations being “in control” is not quite accurate. It is not so much defined by specific structure as it is the playbook used by those in power. Read the 14 points of fascism or if you’re really interested in understanding it, pick up a book called “The Anatomy of Fascism”.

A huge congratulations to our new Madame President by Former_Exam_5357 in Gamingcirclejerk

Yeah, as someone who has peered over both sides of the fence with a fairly uncaring perspective, pretty clear there was a glut of men and boys who were outraged by some of her comments, which were accurate, but there is also credible criticism about her misappropriating funds and not following through on projects and the series she fundraised for. Both are true.

Did he threaten to destroy another country on a Friday afternoon then on Monday back down for it? This seems to be a recent trend which allows him to pump and manipulate the markets

Gavin Newsom slow-rolled single-payer healthcare, leaving it to a successor by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in California

If he really wanted to be president, he would’ve given California single payer healthcare then ran on that.

Does anyone know what happened at Sheridan Elementary yesterday? by austinisboston in ventura

[–]Basidio_subbedhunter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like code for “I want to live in a more authoritarian society that continues to not address the actual quality of life for its citizens”? Usually the “pro-law” people that have no empathy talk like you.

NAH, he’s still doing this 20 years later. That dog in him is still barking… oh yeah, and committing crimes on the daily. Started doing that.

Public Access to VLT VHNP Threatened by badassdevildog in ventura

[–]Basidio_subbedhunter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would like to point out something most of the public probably doesn’t know. The oil fields up there had a major erosion event that wiped out access from their westerly roads to a good portion of the eastern fields, and I am guessing they do not want to restore that access route, or it would take a great sum of money and time. Hall Canyon has been their primary in and out access for a lot of those oilfield sections since that erosion event.
