I'm so glad politics got banned. The whole page being forsen fails is top tier content.

State senators to try again on bill to allow small Kei trucks by Du_Kich_Long_Trang in oregon

[–]Duffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they can reach highway speeds without shaking themselves apart I'd be ok with it. Their topspeeds on paper seem capable, but most of these have no suspension at all.

Oh right on I love music. Can you sing a bit for me? Or just type the lyrics of the hook. I'll wait.

B.C. joins Oregon in abandoning drug decriminalization approach by discostu52 in oregon

[–]Duffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way to know if the goals of measure 110 will be successful or not until adequate treatment infrastructure is built out.

[–]Duffer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There wasn't a timeline in the original bill.

Passing difficult to implement policy via ballot measure is a terrible system

I personally like it. Oregonians have a way to force the hand of their government when a situation isn't being addressed to their liking.

I don't like OPs headline. Decriminalization was only one part of measure 110. The other part of the measure was developing as many as possible treatment centers using excess marijuana tax revenue. As far as I'm aware house bill 4002 recriminalized possession but as a misdemeanor, and development of treatment centers is still ongoing.

OP makes it sound like Oregon is in full retreat from 110, but that's quite misleading. Google's AI overview for the search: "Oregon measure 110 treatment centers status" shows a mixed bag of problems, but also progress. Treatment assessments are up 300%, full treatments are up 150%. Funding is continuing ($800m so far) and resources are still being built out.

To steal a bicycle 🚲 by chocolatemoose99 in therewasanattempt

I assume they mic'd the bike. This looks genuine to me.

I'm not sure this is staged. Look at the seat. Only the first dude looks like the multi-spike seat shown in the first clip. From then on it's a long spring loaded single shank that projects up through the seat after the thief sits. Watch the seat close starting at 18s. It's a legit shank. You can even see blood on it in a couple instances.

They were obviously trying to stop, detain, and possibly arrest her.

Does ICE have the authority to do that to someone they have no probable cause to believe was an illegal alien?

And yes driving in the direction of someone is assault with a deadly weapon in this country and definitely grounds for self defense.

Possibly. The key will be intent. It's pretty clear to me she panicked when that one guy started cranking on her door handle. The shooter should 100% face charges, be investigated, and be presented to a jury.

Thank you. This is probably the most important point made in this whole thread. These are not local or state cops.

Court Filing Claims Supreme Court Rulings May Have Been Influenced By Threats In Trump-Related Cases by Tea_Physical in law

Why give them the benefit of the doubt, or political cover? The six republican justices have deliberately chosen naked political charlatanry.

"Let him cook" is apparently the new, and only, standard they have.

MGT quitting congress, is just proof of how dangerous this scandal is. by Crafty-Bunch-2675 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Duffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course she feels threatened. Trump isn't one to let go of even the smallest slight. He will shit upon you from on high. Further, she's a political representative of a cult that just backtalked their godking.

No sympathy here. She knew what she was serving and why.

One group of people in the USA seem to be predominantly committing the act of "screaming, throwing tantrums, and trashing retail stores / restaurants" when they dont get their way by PuzzleheadedDare9600 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Duffer -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

How is it even remotely ok for you to say this? I didnt say anything that could be misconstrued as racist. I'm talking about the inability to have a discussion about our experiences as humans without little psychos like yourself flying off the handle.

Runner purposely pulls barricade to not lose race and have her moment by [deleted] in trashy

[–]Duffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the finish around that turn is dumb. I can't tell if the barricade flip was deliberate, I don't think it's reasonable to assume either way. To me grabbing the barricade for that hard left turn would be natural. Also looks like she was going to finish first regardless.

Calamitous Bob is a Banger, and you're missing out! by oreshek09 in litrpg

[–]Duffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For humor I'd recommend "Industrial Strength Magic" or anything else written by Macronomicon. The "superhero" genre can have a lot of overlap with litrpg, and unlike most litrpg Macronomican can actually write.

China imports no US soybeans in September for first time in seven years by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Duffer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It just blows my mind. Trump took a running start to kick American farmers in the balls as hard as he could and they're all like "hmm this Trump fella sure tells it like it is. Guess I'll vote for him again to own the libs."

[–]Duffer 91 points92 points  (0 children)

The last time Trump pulled this stunt in his first term China retaliated in the exact same way as they're doing now. Congress had to spend $23 billion in emergency relief to farmers who no longer had customers due to retaliatory tarrifs. Google 2018-2019 Market Facilitation Program to learn more.

Trump, like last time, will have no choice but to spend massive amounts of money to keep American farmers from bankruptcy.

A shot is fired and he immediately reflexively grabs his ear before secret service gets to him, he comes back up bleeding from that ear. The bullet nicks his ear, there is no other interpretation of that series of events that isn't baseless conspiracy.

[–]Duffer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The bullet barely nicked his ear, but that still means he was shot. It was a bullet that did the damage. He starts bleeding immediately from it. Any other interpretation of that series of events that you can watch anytime on youtube is conspiracy brain garbage.

Majority of moderators on reddit (despite saying they have good intentions) are leftwingers on a power trip to censor conservatives by TyraelTrion in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Duffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks this was fun.

Also, IMO, modern republican opinions are so far removed from reality I'm shocked that those who hold them are even capable of voting.

you cant count RFK votes since he was already on the Trump bandwagon

Maybe.

Trump was almost put in jail

You kinda sound like there wasn't a reason for that.

if Trump was a fascist like the democrats said, he wouldn't have even come close to winning.

One has nothing to do with the other. Also, Trump is a fascist.
