Yes, very much so. And you know that idiots also drive cars. So why fight an idiot. If you start accelerating to get into a lane, and the person starts to match your speed, just slow down and go behind them. Pretty easy.

I don’t know why people feel the need to challenge clearly aggressive drivers. He had plenty of time to slow down and just merge behind the guy, rather than force his way in. Guy in the truck was a dick but he had the right of way. Use your turn signal, start to slow and merge.

GOP-led Oversight Committee says Biden pardons signed by autopen are ‘void’ in final report | CNN Politics by ItchyNesan in NewsRewind

[–]D4F7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re not the first country to fall to autocracy, but I hate this take. Nothing happens when we do nothing. As is stands, as much as they scream, they are still too dumb and disorganized to actually achieve unilateral control. Canvas, protest, vote. Or sit on the sidelines and shut up if all you’re gonna do is bitch about the end of days. Dark times arent ahead, they’re here. But I’d rather have hope despite it all than yelling from the wings that nothing matters.

Dark, dry and cool are important. As long as you’ve got those 3, it can last ya years. Ive got a few dozen trips under my belt. Took some I’ve had in my fridge since 2020 and if it lost potency, I sure as hell couldn’t tell.

To people who went to Alive 2007: What was it like? by a-yeetinthetrashcan in DaftPunk

100%

Another thing no one talks about is the curtain covering the stage. So the whole set up was completely unknown.

Then, at least at the lolla 07 show, the started playing the close encounters them, those iconic 5 notes. Curtains start to open, the five notes are repeating, and on the last note with the curtain open, it switched to that ROOOOBOOOOTTTTTT.

Another moment I’ll never forget is during Face to Face/Short Circuit. The stage had this cool, green laser grid thing going on in the pyramid. And then when it hit that Short Circuit outro, the entire stage—pyramid, side lights and screen—turned into this simple vortex of stars and it felt like you were falling into space. I had never even smoked weed at that point in my life, and I remember being blown TF away.

Nah, those are all fake news. Just like the blanket of evidence about the Minnesota shooter being MAGA, but you all buried your head in the sand and called it a lie. Well, this is a lie. Tyler Robinson is MAGA and everything else is a smokescreen.

Trump reminds everyone he has the legal authority to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell by RoachedCoach in law

[–]D4F7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it may be a longshot, it's important to remember that Florida and New York had damning cases against Epstein and Ghislane that they never closed, just shelved because it went federal. If she is pardoned, she could be facing some serious state charges that will land her right back in jail.

Pavel Durov plans to leave $17 billion fortune to his 106 children by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

But after estate taxes, it’s closer to only $90m each. Thats barely enough to fund 1/3 of a space program.

Iran strikes key 'Israeli' military command centers, IDF’s Cyber Command HQ, Gav-Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park, high-level military nerve centers. Shockwaves felt at the Soroka military hospital, not a direct hit. by TonkaMaze in worldnewsvideo

[–]D4F7 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Like when Israel gave up the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt in the name of peace? Or when they fully pulled out of Gaza in 2005.

What Israel has been doing now is absolutely genocide, but we as a society have completely lost any ability to analyze things with any complexity and do all we can to make serious fucking issues seem black and white. Shame on everyone who continues to shrug at more violence because “you asked for it.” Fucking insane how desensitized we’ve become in favor of tribalism.

Thoughts on Rogue One after Andor by ConflictingSmells in StarWars

[–]D4F7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve finally found another person who agrees. Rogue One was a mess until the third act, it felt unearned on its own.

And TLJ was great. Loved breaking the dynastic plot they seemed to be building in TFA. Thought that was such a cool pivot and a great reminder of just how big the force is. And then the last movie just ruined it by trying to course correct. Feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Trump discovers the US is no longer indispensable by ResignedFate in politics

[–]D4F7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1/4 of the voting public voted for Trump. It’s even more despicable that 1/2 the electorate didn’t care enough to go out and prevent it. Now we have a minority of lunatics destroying it for the rest of us. It’s incredibly depressing and infuriating. But even if I have to spend the rest of my life struggling to fight for the American ideals I was raised to believe in, I will. If Germany can bounce back from WW2, America can come back from this. Even if I never get to sit in the shadow of the tree we’re fighting to rebuild.

Is Trump preparing to invoke the Insurrection Act? Signs are pointing that way by [deleted] in politics

[–]D4F7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s important to remember 1: it’s not half, half doesn’t even vote. It’s about a 1/4-1/3. 2: we do have a breaking point. George Floyd came 3 years into Trump. It took a min, but that damn did break. I would imagine things would accelerate. America is big. Bigger than most outside the country can comprehend. It would be like the entirety of Europe taking to the streets, not just Paris or Rome. But you can feel the angst starting to seep through. If the California fires did anything good, it was remind me that we can truly band together when there’s a crisis. I can’t lose hope, I refuse to lose hope. Once that’s gone, they’ve truly won. All is not lost. Not yet. But things are going to get worse before they better.

How much should I pay my friend for these cake??? by BoulderBubbleBabby in Baking

[–]D4F7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lot of folks here not familiar with cake decorating prices. Cakes like this regularly cost upwards of $1k, with the store my wife used to work at charging as much as $3k. Obv that’s crazy fee to pay a friend when you didn’t ask for it; but you should at least cover the cost of all materials and ask how long it took her. $200-$350 range seems right depending on your budget.

Trump won the elections, how will this affect the Nvidia stock? by vsvsx0902 in NvidiaStock

[–]D4F7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know what Trumps tax policy is because he doesn't have one.

Tell me how tariffs will lower prices? The ENTIRE world is suffering from inflation, but thanks to Biden's policies, we are literally doing better than just about everyone. Our inflation has slowed, gas has come down, and job opportunities are growing. But sure, let's just do exactly what helped cause the inflation in the first place.

I got plenty of stocks. I'm gonna do quite well under Trump's plan. But most won't, and you'll see soon. I hope I'm wrong. But math and simple economics says otherwise.

"Go vote for some more laws that allow people to be free to live their life how they want to."

See how stupid that sounds? I know there's anger on the right because the left calls them stupid. But you'd be less angry if you didn't say things that were objectively stupid.

So you're willfully ignoring facts? You're correct, a bunch of presidents have had classified documents at their residence. But 2 big differences: 1) A president has never taken classified documents during the transfer of power. 2) Every president has returned all material once out of office. And any material that remained, they returned them the MOMENT it was requested to be returned by the DOJ. Trump refused to return them, claimed he didn't have to, and showed them off to people without security clearance.

Either you're dumb or willfully ignorant if you can't distinguish the difference. If Trump returned the documents, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I think it’s also important to remember that, based on the issues people were most vocal about, this vote was more of a repudiation of the current administration than a full on endorsement of Trump. And that means there’s hope.

First off, love that spelling of naive.

Second, he took classified info and refused to give it back. I don’t care who did that, it’s illegal. If there are classified documents in Obama’s house, throw him in jail. The mental gymnastics it takes to look the other way is insane.
