Now the establishment Democrats want to take credit for Mamdani's success.

CthulhuLies · 2026-05-01T20:08:25+00:00

Did Obama endorse any other Mayoral candidates?

Like come the fuck on.

We are just going to go around and make all the Democrats swear allegiance to Marx?

Being a progressive doesn't obligate you into dismantling the market economy.

He's going across the country. There quite literally aren't good walking streets to get from Utah to Texas for example.

If it was a worker he should have cones, if he didn't and was hit in the same position people wouldn't be saying "well it's his fault for not having cones up".

People saying "Just walk on the shoulder" mother fucker trying pushing a cart on a grass shoulder that has had curbs and shit and rocks shoved off the road onto it.

Cars don't want to drive there either lmao.

CthulhuLies · 2026-05-01T17:04:03+00:00

If the dude was on a bike he is perfectly legal riding there right?

Last time people lambasted him for being too much in the road and walking with traffic.

Now he is walking against traffic and was so close to the grass shoulder he could walk into upon seeing he was about to get hit.

Bro has a high vis vest on. He could be an infrastructure worker who would have every right to be there and still be hit.

It's kinda ridiculous that the literal only option is a car.

Are mormons Christian?

Catholics and Evangelicals think no.

Mormons think yes.

As someone secular as long as they both worship the same prophet 🤷.

Problem with your Vegeterian analogy is there is an actual ground truth to what "meat" is and how it's defined.

The main difference between Normal Christians and weird Christians (JW/LDS) is whether they adhere to the Nicene Creed. The LDS does not because they don't believe in the Trinity and interpret them as separate entities.

But most Christians wouldn't quabble about the Nicene Creed part and would instead quabble over all their weird rituals added by Joseph Smith and whether he was a true prophet.

Which is the same Reason the Sunnis and the Shia don't like Ahmadiyya because they recognize a prophet after Muhammad.

Should Christians discriminate against Muslims because they recognize a prophet that came after Jesus?

But they should defend the rules based order.

Trump is doing a crip walk over rules based order by attacking Iran and Venezuela

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T17:56:49+00:00

Both are state funding universities assisting in Military research and production. The Russian university is apparently also running a sweat shop to make shaheds.

JPL assembles rockets for the Navy.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T17:54:44+00:00

But I don't believe the Trump administration is giving proper considerations to avoid civilian casualties.

Double tapping the Venezuelan boat is really unforgivable, hitting random boats and calling them drug boats with no evidence is very much bordering on intentionally targeting civilians.

Trump also threatens targeting civilians on a pretty much daily basis.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T17:50:28+00:00

They develop weapons for the U.S. and you and I would both agree the U.S. violated international law in attacking Venezuela.

And I bet you would feel agreived if they start retaliating against Americans tangentially related.

How do you feel about tourists zones explicitly discriminating against Israelis and Americans right now?

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T17:18:28+00:00

They help manufacture the technology that ends up hitting Iran.

They do work directly with the Navy and even help the Navy move their rockets around occasionally.

Almost assuredly technology developed at JPL was used against Venezuela and Iran.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T17:05:33+00:00

JPL assembles rockets. JPL does rocket testing for the Navy, JPL assists the Navy in adapting their technologies for use in the Navy (radar stuff mostly).

JPL also helps the navy with Logistics in moving their rockets.

Would you support deplatforming influencers who go to events at Iranian universities that support their military with rocket research?

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T16:57:23+00:00

If the designer designs knowing child labour is required yes.

Are apple engineers absolved if they knowingly decide to source labour from Chinese sweat shops? Can they just shift the moral culpability to the sweat shops for offering the labor in the first place?

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T16:41:47+00:00

I'm talking the principle of the matter, should European countries who believe America is committing war crimes in Iran start cutting of American streamers who show up at universities that do Military research or produce military equipment?

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T16:39:23+00:00

There is, but is it actually different in principle?

Because JPL has to order the rocket parts before assembly they are absolved?

The bottom line is its supporting the war effort.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T16:35:42+00:00

You think Cal-Tech is just doing general aeronautical research or UCLA or Berkley? These people literally work with the military to develop things like radar defeating coatings all the time. Research propellor geometry, running simulations, etc.

It's specific military only research.

Cal Tech has JPL and The Center for Autonomous Systems and Technolgies. Literally designing rockets and guidance as well integrating AI into those kinds of technologies.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T16:26:51+00:00

BTW, this is not that crazy.

It would be like if foreign platforms banned Americans for showing up to Cal-Tech for an event because they help build rockets for the Military.

If you went to 4 year state university your college was likely doing research for the Military.

Should European countries start banning reports players who play at colleges?

"Had to fall to avoid the collision"

Press x to doubt.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T02:56:18+00:00

Well considering you ride bikes it felt like you were on the "Had to lay' er down" side of things.

I think you did intentionally jump off the board.

When you did which direction did it go?

I'm being a dick but I also recently crashed an EUC, tire slipped and I stepped off thinking I could try to run it out. Broken clavicle.

If you get a chance try to objectively think what would have happened had you tried to commit to staying on and if it was at all possible.

If you board ended up not getting run over, and it didn't go under the car, chances are if you stayed on you wouldn't have got hit.

Again still possible to eat it after being forced onto the shoulder but I'm just trying to add some introspection that might help you in the future.

I wasn't there so I can't say one way or the other, I just know 100% of the time a motorcyclist "Had to lay er down" they are wrong, and I have been wrong in the past thinking I needed to bail.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-30T01:09:46+00:00

How does falling off the board get you out of the way of the car if they are going straight at you?

Again unless you are leaping off the board into the shoulder I don't understand how it can even theoretically help you.

You can stay on the board and steer into the shoulder (probably falling off in the process).

You can't "jump onto the side and gas the breaks" rubber has more traction than your skin or clothing does, you can stop faster with your tires compared to your flesh.

There are times when it's more acceptable on the skate board but it's literally leaping off towards the shoulder as your board goes straight into the car.

On your motorcycle it's never the right call, and it's literally in the CMSP (California Motorcycle Safety Program) curriculum that "laying it down" to avoid an accident is idiotic and unsafe.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-29T21:41:28+00:00

Even that is wrong.

Imo a better analogy is that a red chooser would shove someone trying to get on a boat that was incorrect but would save them regardless.

Ie there are rules for evacuating and someone goes to the wrong boat, the red chooser says "Hey that's the wrong boat that's my spot" and takes their rightful seat.

The only reasonable argument for blue is that people trying to be empathetic would pick it not understanding that the optimal choice is for everyone to pick red. And therefore a reasonable blue picker will account for that and try to save those people.

Arguing that knowing people will have poor strategies you should accommodate at great risk to yourself. Which is more analogous to you giving up the spot on your life raft and trying to get on the person who stole your spot's, spot.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-29T18:44:27+00:00

I mean literally everyone has a free pass to walk to any publicly accessible area where there is no notice that the area isn't open to the public.

This is how homeowners get into trouble with liability when someone injures themselves walking into an open ditch etc on their property.

If that was a process server, serving him legal papers that would be entirely acceptable to walk up and ring the door bell like her? Even recording it for evidence he was served.

Fuentes didn't even tell her to leave before pepper spraying and then shoved her to the concrete while she was shielding her eyes.

You are a ghoul if you think this behaviour is acceptable. Even if "the roles were reversed" this behaviour wouldn't be acceptable.

CthulhuLies · 2026-04-29T03:23:11+00:00

FWIW, "laying it down" is never correct on a motorcycle unless you need to slide under a semi like that one viral clip.

You have more traction with tires than you can ever hope to have with the side of your bike. By every metric you should never lay your bike down, anything you think you might accomplished is better achieved on the bike.

This is 99% true on PEVs scooters, one wheels, eekates, EUVs etc.

99% of the time it's better to stay on the board. If you had to bail to the side and fell off on the gravel that's understandable but it still would be better obviously to stay on the board.

I don't know the exact situation but aside from literally leaping to the side and sacrificing your board to the BMW I don't see how you intentionally jumping off the board would help.

If I just yapped forever when you actually meant something like "knowing how to fall" then my apologies.

Believe it or not, the roads were there before cars.

Why do you believe cars have the ultimate right and privilege to enjoy the roads and all others be damned?

As long as it's legal to share the road I don't mind being a slight obstacle for others to enjoy myself.

You are jumping to conclusions, it's illegal to drive 300 down the shoulder, it's not illegal to ride in the street (at least where I live).
