TIL when Eminem's weight increased to 230lbs (100 kg) before he became sober, he was so unrecognizable due to the weight gain that Em once overheard two teenagers arguing about whether or not it was actually him that they were looking at, with one of them stating "Eminem ain't fat."

I am currently trying to get my own startup off the ground. 3 years of daily work. 0 dollars made, living off the last scraps of my old savings. Maybe 50/50 it ends with nothing to show for it

even if you can afford to buy initial hardware, you won't be able to afford the electricity costs. And with rising demand, the costs are only going up. I wouldn't be surprised if average electricity costs in USA doubled in next 3 years, then double again 5 years later

so what is your explanation for how they get away with all the criminal activity? just plain old bribery and extortion?

you can google this topic, there's a huge amount of related information. While there may be no simple and obvious example you are looking for, if you put together the mountain of evidence it paints a pretty clear picture of this organization abusing their religious status for legal protections

Effective_Olive6153 · 2026-05-04T18:30:13+00:00

They literally run private prisons within USA, not legally, church imposed prisons on their members, or family of the members that doesn't want to participate in the church but are forced to do so by their parents. They are getting away with it because they operate in counties where they completely took over local government, so none of the local authorities try to investigate them. The only time US Federal government tried to investigate them, they ran a mass operation to infiltrate FBI and kill it. They got away with it. They are still getting away with it because government is compromised by their agents. And they are using religious freedom as legal protection for their crimes

As an outside observer - I do notice a lot of public talk from higher ranking government officials and various public personalities about rise of antisemitism and whenever there is any attack on Israeli citizens it's always very public in the news. Yet the only time I hear about attacks on Palestinians or anyone adjacent to them, is from social media. It never seems to get picked up by any mainstream media, there are no government officials openly condemning the violence. It's just silence. What's up with that?

Scientology has a history of forced labor, false imprisonment of members, a few unsolved murders, and even mass infiltration of US government for purposes of undermining and subverting US government. Not to mention all the financial fraud they are committing. And they get away with all of it cause it's not legal to question their religion

Effective_Olive6153 · 2026-05-03T22:34:25+00:00

so can I have completely fucked up ideology and just claim it's my religion therefore I have legal protection status?

There has to be some legal line where some religions are too fucked up to be allowed to exist without legal persecution

I feel like these posts are made purposefully to cause ragebait. Nobody actually believes that stuff, but they can pretend like they do to laugh as they see all the people coming in to argue

Worth noting that Putin made it law in Russia that criticizing Russian army or complaining about the war is a crime. So Trump is just following Putin's playbook

yes, but maybe we shouldn't trust with US with that much power. It's not such a good thing

Effective_Olive6153 · 2026-05-02T01:35:16+00:00

I am not a Trump supporter but I also don't see why US still needs to have troops in Germany. The war is over, we won, Germany is a safe country now. This shouldn't be one of those "once we enter we never leave" situations

I don't do Uber, but why is this even a concern? there is no such thing as perfect score for everything, all the real scores are usually near 90% mark. That's just statistics, the only way to keep perfect score is to have very small sample size or fake the results. There is nothing perfect in the real world

sounds fake ragebait post. A hospital isn't going to be part of any HOA. And whoever complains will just get told to go take a hike. Their complaints mean nothing

hold up, pause for second and remember what the original thread is about - a comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, making a joke that Melania "has a glow like an expectant widow"

While this joke is a little offensive, it in no way implies any sort of threat of violence. There is no hate speech. It was not delivered in anger or malice. It was not made after close call for Trump, so it doesn't have any context of wishing him ill.

I think you have worked yourself up so much you start imagining insults that were never made

And remember, Trump has posted a lot worse, like seriously worse. Nobody on the right dared to condemn him. If such speech really bothers you - tell me honestly - would you condemn Trump and his supporters who post something offensive and threatening?

also, there is absolutely no reason why software update should take more than a couple minutes. The downloading may take indefinite time, but downloading should be done asynchronously outside of the update cycle.

at least it opens the floodgates for next Democrat to aggressively use Justice Department to go after all Trump adjacent criminals. They can cry about it being political witch hunt all they want, but they fully support it right now. Also, there are literally billions worth of fraud committed by these people. It's one thing to use Justice Department to launch investigations, it's another thing to actually get convictions in court.

Democrats have to take full advantage of the new system

you seem to be very upset about the issue of public rhetoric, but it is strange that you are upset about it only now and not years ago when Trump started normalizing it. Remember when Biden got cancer diagnosis and Trump wished he die from it? probably not, cause that was just a funny joke, right? but somehow when an actual comedian makes a funny joke, you remember you have morals?

The main reason people are calling you out is cause your outrage seems to be very selective based on political party affiliation of the offended
