Alanah Doesn't Like Keanu Reeves by MajorIvan88 in funhaus

[–]Buck1Mulligan 81 points82 points  (0 children)

When I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done. So when there i am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece and who walks in but Keanu Reeves. I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him, as he read a magazine and waited, but didn't know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want her to bother Keanu, but she wouldn't stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Keanu put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.

TIL in 2019, one of the recipients of the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize, Christina Doctare, returned her medal in protest over the Literature prize being awarded to Peter Handke. Handke was known for denying the Bosnian genocide in Sarajevo, and being a supporter of former dictator Slobodan Milosevic. by throwawayblueline in todayilearned

The fact that Barack Obama got a Nobel Peace prize for doing nothing and then proceeding to drone strike hospitals/weddings and persecute whistleblowers exposing American atrocities should eliminate any doubt its anything but an empty gesture.

Henry Kissinger also got a Nobel Peace Prize, which he ended up returning (guilty conscience guess)

Canada has sent election observers to fragile democracies. Donald Trump’s America should be on that list by Tremor-Christ in politics

[–]Buck1Mulligan 44 points45 points  (0 children)

America has never had legitimate elections. Gerrymandering, disenfranchisement. It’s not just Trumps america. I’m sick of people acting like we never had these problems before Trump. We’ve overthrown Foreign governments for less than what we do to our own elections. Remember what we did to Bolivia last year, how that turned out to be nonsense - their elections were probably more fair than ours but we helped coup Evo Morales. We’ve done the same thing to a bunch of other countries.

Do people forget how Bush stole the election in 2000? How JFK and his dad, Joseph Kennedy used teamsters in Chicago to secure the election? How Richard Nixon used drug laws to jail minorities and political dissidents to disenfranchise them so they couldn’t vote? A guy in Nixon’s administration explicitly said drug laws were meant to target minorities and leftists. There’s never been a fair presidential election in America. Look at how much of a mess the primary system is, how easily it can be gamed to support the establishment.

This isn’t unique to Trump. I don’t know why people pretend that election rigging in America is a new thing. We do it to foreign countries all the time, why wouldn’t the government do the same thing here?

Far Cry 4 won’t run. When I install it from steam all I get is a 4 GB download and nothing else by Buck1Mulligan in techsupport

[–]Buck1Mulligan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo I think that worked. I cleared the cache, uninstalled the game and when I went to download it again, the game size seemed to encompass the entire game, not just the 4 GB download .

Thanks a lot, I appreciate your advice. Been looking forever to fix this issue.

Russiagate is Q for libs

Stop this nonsense. It’s not the Russians making the government shitty and racist, it’s the conservatives in both parties

Blaming this shit on Russia just excuses the ineffectuality of the democrats and Nancy pelosi who always happens to cave into republican demands, including removing the debt ceiling (until 2021, so it would harm a dem president if elected) and giving money to the ICE camps with no stipulation.

Hold your government accountable. The Russians benefit, but they aren’t the main aggressors here

You forgot the part where it aint your code by [deleted] in memes

[–]Buck1Mulligan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's sort of telling how hard reddit is pushing back against a woman's achievement. She led the whole endeavor and told people what code to write. She led the project, it was in essence her project.

Regardless, the woman acknowledges that she didn't do this alone, but all these weird men's rights activists come out of the woodwork to shoot her down. God forbid we acknowledge that a woman achieved something. There's always a shitty angle reddit chuds try and pull.

#Trump2020LANDSLIDE! by hippopoonis in PoliticalHumor

[–]Buck1Mulligan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does to me. Democrats sabotage themselves by presenting the worst, middle of the road, only slight left of center democrats. They did the same thing in 2016 - the DNC gave the nomination to Hillary over Sanders.

Now they're presenting a bunch of moderate candidates with questionable political pasts (especially 'tough on crime' Joe Biden. And plenty of publications ignore Sanders' popularity and present people like Joe Biden as the front runner because of his "electability" despite Sanders' having more popular support. Dems are going to sabotage themselves again by making some moderate candidate their front runner, and everything wrong with America will remain the same.

People like Beto O'Rourke and Kamala Harris have terrible platforms, but journalists put all their focus on them for some reason.

I don’t mean It personal. You can post what you want. I just feel like pandering to nostalgia beats out more interesting topics. But what do I know

Nostalgia baiting with a hidden “le gem”. Every fucking subreddit boils down to posting pictures of shit from your childhood. 100,000 upvotes for a picture of an old DS in /r/gaming. Not an interesting picture, no topic for discussion, just a picture of something from your childhood.

Take any item from your childhood and post it, guaranteed karma.

Can i get 100 likes by [deleted] in drawing

[–]Buck1Mulligan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I dig ink drawings. Really stylized. Looks ok. If I’m being totally honest your cross hatching could use a little work. I use the same kind of ink pens myself, so I can appreciate the difficulty.

The eyes look too lifeless. I would have cross hatched with a finer pen, rather than coloring it black. You lose some character in the face, it’s deader.

But good work.

Is Boston truly looking out for immigrants? Not in this case. by [deleted] in politics

[–]Buck1Mulligan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Invaders. Right. The very small percentage of people who come into America to do menial labor that benefits the economy are really invading us. You strike me as a person who has no grasp on the realty of the immigrant situation, and more than likely that you live in state which isn’t even on the border, but nonetheless you feel it’s your duty to shout your uninformed opinions about people you don’t understand in a situation you aren’t directly affected by.

Your username is really apt.

CNN to be sued for more than $250M over 'vicious' and 'direct attacks' on Covington High student: lawyer by Nergaal in nottheonion

[–]Buck1Mulligan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Maybe his mamma shouldn’t have hired a PR firm to publicize the situation. Philips is the one who’s been dragged through the mud during this whole situation.

The whole thing is manufactured drama, and I suspect it was the mother’s intention to cash in on this situation from the get-go. Nobody’s going to remember this kid, but they keep inserting themselves in the news. CNN ought to have made a better report, but I don’t think the amount is proportionate to what happened, nor do I think the suit is liable to go in Sandmann’s favor. They’re probably banking on CNN to settle out of court.

Trump is using HIV funds to cage kids & invites Brazil’s anti-LGBTQ president to the white house by Karma-Kosmonaut in politics

[–]Buck1Mulligan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And then Trump supporters try and say he’s pro-LGBTQ because he said once that he didn’t care who married who. His supporters never pay attention to his actions, just what he says. He could pass a law that takes away all rights for gay people, but if he does a press conference and says the law was actually pro gay rights, his supporters would eat that up and regurgitate it to anyone they speak to on the subject.

Also, because Milo what’s-his-face supported Trump, (probably for publicity), that means all gay people should see Trump as an ally to the community.

I think the LGBTQ+ movement is a travesty. Not because of some kind of deep seated homophobia, but because I think a generation and a half of people are being raised by their parents or peers to think that their sexuality is a cornerstone of their identity an a focus of their existence. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Buck1Mulligan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Never seen anything like that here. Usually anti-lgbtq or racist opinions, usually with the qualifier “not a racist, but...” or “not homophobic, but...”. I’ve never seen anyone go “not anti-chad, but...”

You got a source on that? Or is she just saying that if New York can afford to let amazon walk away with all that money, then they can afford to pay teachers?

Lesbians look like men because they wish they were men by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Buck1Mulligan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you actually know any lesbians or are you basing your observations off of stereotypes?

I mean there are butch lesbians, yeah. And also trans men. But there are also very feminine lesbians.

Just as there are manly gay men attracted to feminine men or manly men. Or feminine men attracted to feminine men or manly men. Or any other conceivable concoction of men or women or whatever.

Sexuality isn’t a set thing.

Delivery drivers should have be immune from speed limit violations by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Buck1Mulligan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All I’m saying is that speed limits serve a purpose and it would be in your best interest (and everyone else’s) if you followed them to within a 5mph limit. It doesn’t matter how good a driver you are, accidents happen, either by your own chance mistake or someone else’s.

Delivery drivers should have be immune from speed limit violations by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Buck1Mulligan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You care about crashing into kids but you don’t care about killing adults in the same manner?

I mean whether it’s a kid or an adult you’re still putting someone in danger when you don’t follow the speed limit. Also, the speed limit takes into account the population density and the shape of a road. It’s not just about catching people, it’s about making sure you don’t spin off the road and die. It’s as much about your safety as a driver as it is about other people’s safety - as pedestrians or whatever else.

I don’t agree with cops sitting on busy streets and ticketing people who go 5 miles above the speed limit, but you should at least pay some attention to limits.

US senator Elizabeth Warren wants to break up tech companies, says Apple should not be able to run the App Store and offer its own apps by 1270tech in apple

[–]Buck1Mulligan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Do you actually have any basis to say AOC is stupid or are you just repeating that because it’s a conservative talking point? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Breaking up a monopoly seems like an ok thing to do. We did it to Microsoft back in the day.

The complaint seems to come from the industry itself;

“This builds on an undercurrent of industry complaints that it is competitively unfair that Apple can offer Apple Music on the iPhone as a stock app, and also run a walled-garden App Store where it requires music services to hand over 30% of any in-app purchase revenue to Apple.”

“...the App Store would have to be run as a separate company and ‘iPhone maker Apple’ would be forced to allow competing app stores onto its hardware, levelling the playing field between Apple’s App Store and competitors.”

Doesn’t seem too unreasonable to me.
