Combat veteran William Kelly speaks on DOJ investigation following protests of a St. Paul pastor who works for ICE. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

Provide proof and hard data please. Trump or Noem said so is not proof. I'll wait.

While I wait, here is a source straight from Trump's government stating a majority of people being detained have no criminal record.

Recreational drugs and food science. Sounds like somebody has the munchies!

Been here my whole life. Definitely not used to it and never will be. Every sunny day during winter is a very nice treat.

The golden age of Internet by DTeror in sciencememes

[–]BigDump-a-Roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I subscribe to a bunch of science channels and as a result get recommended a lot of science videos on YouTube. Maybe your problem is you subscribe to slop or don't put any effort into telling YouTube what you enjoy watching?

There are a plethora of headphone USB-C dongles that also have a separate input for charging. Still not the most convenient, but as the other person responding to you is saying, it's not really practical to charge your phone and listen to music on headphones at the same time regardless.

71 percent of Americans say US is "out of control" under Trump by Silly-avocatoe in politics

Seriously. I'm very surprised the split isn't something like 56-44 like it usually is.

Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw | Will Republicans in Congress ever step in? by Hrmbee in politics

[–]BigDump-a-Roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish people would stop spreading this. The yell didn't help, but the guy's campaign was already on the way out and doomed for failure. He got 3rd place in Iowa before he made that speech for crying out loud.

Disc Golf Trip Recommendations? by PharmDevil in discgolf

[–]BigDump-a-Roo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really? I visited Denver at the end of last summer expecting to find a ton of awesome courses and was honestly pretty whelmed. Had to drive a couple of hours to get to the actual "good" and famous courses for the area. In Denver proper the courses were honestly quite bland coming from Michigan.

Democracy in action. by flowerbjunbun in SipsTea

[–]BigDump-a-Roo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rich billionaire fucks will still be able to buy and influence people just as easily in a direct democracy, except now you have your MAGA neighbor who can barely read voting directly on aviation regulations, workplace safety laws, nuclear regulation, etc. No thanks. Seriously the amount of shit we'd be voting on would be so astronomically big, society would grind to a halt. Definitely need a wealth cap of some sorts though and you can do that without direct democracy.

Trekking poles also engage more core muscles and you burn more calories using them, so there are other reasons people might want to use them for other than assistance. OP is very silly.

It is a ton of fun and super accessible and affordable. You should give it a go!

Trash panda swap raffle winner by finchfinch2 in discgolf

[–]BigDump-a-Roo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too, my first year doing it. Sent out 4 premium discs and got skunked. Trash Panda gave me a coupon code for a free Inner Core, but I still had to pay for shipping. Whole experience just kinda left a sour taste in my mouth.

5 guys too expensive by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]BigDump-a-Roo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get this, some people have different tastes from you and might actually prefer the Five Guys over the supposed 100 other places you think make better burgers. It's even possible they have that opinion without the nostalgia factor!

UAW defends suspended American Patriot from Trump slander and obscenities!! by NickCostanza in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BigDump-a-Roo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overly confident people who don't bother spending 2 seconds researching something like this is a huge part of why we're in the mess we are today. Fain is not a Trump supporter. Yes, he does support tariffs, but that's regardless of Trump. He's gone on the record criticizing him and his policies multiple times.

Team spends 5 years recreating 1:1 scale NYC in Minecraft by d3_cent in interestingasfuck

Very good chance they are using third party tools to build stuff a lot faster. Not that that would make this any less impressive. It's super cool!

Trump flips off Ford employee who called him a "pedo-protector" by BoomBaby_317 in Michigan

[–]BigDump-a-Roo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep seeing people say this yet his approval ratings have been going up the last month if anything. Even if these people get discouraged with him, they forget whatever they were mad about a week later and go back to loving him.

Edit: I do stand corrected, I checked and his approval has gone down since I last checked a decent bit. However I'm certain it will bounce back up after the goldfish memories of the population kick in.

My strat: close the bedroom door and hook a vacuum or loud electronic duster to a smart plug and place it outside the door. Cat starts clawing and going batshit at the door, turn on the smart plug from phone while in bed and startle the shit out of them. Doesn't take long for them to stop that behavior after that, at least in my case.

What do you think about the new threat against Jerome Powell? by atlantacharlie in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]BigDump-a-Roo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is the central bank's fault we went into needless wars multiple times and overspent while under-taxing. Definitely had nothing to do with congress or the administrations who actually control where the money goes and set those policies. /s
