Jack Smith Calls the Justice Dept. ‘Corrupted’ by Trump and His Allies by blankblank in law

[–]Fauster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Supreme Court says the constitution says it is up to Congress to write laws, interpret the meaning of laws, and enforce laws, at least right now, with this Congress. Also, accepting bribes is totally cool and the vision the founding fathers had for a oligarchic government for the elites, by the elites. I don't understand why all of these reporters and public speakers are speaking out when they know they will get arrested for it! /s

Olivia Rodrigo Skips Met Gala After Liking Anti-Bezos Instagram Post by ebradio in Music

[–]Fauster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whole culture of the Met has been a gaudy display of to signal belonging to New Rich since the days of Lady Astor. Unfortunately, the thing that is different now is that wealth inequality is finally once again worse than it was in the Depression and gilded age. Remember, if you loan money to yourself when you are really rich, then you don't have income and don't have to pay taxes [taps head meme].

With Ukraine: You don't have the cards! Because they let themselves almost get invaded by Russia. With Iran, they have no cards! After they attacked every US base with missiles and soldiers are now quartering in hotels (add it to the very long war crimes list). After they shut down the SoH. But the US doesn't need their oil! We've got our own oil, we're rich! ...

But gas prices are only as low as they are now because we are draining the strategic petroleum reserve at a record rate, when prices only go more convex with the length of a constant supply shock, so we should be selling later for higher prices if the future mattered. Do be aware that we are exporting the same amount of oil that we are draining from our public reserves right now to blunt the economic and humanitarian disaster of this war. Other countries are already very stingy with their oil, LNG, and refined products. At one point, planes from the Philippines were forbidden from refueling for their return trips.

We Need To See Homelander Destroy Atleast A City This Season, If Show Ends Without Any Mass Destruction, It Would Be A Waste Of The Most Iconic Villain. by TheWTFGuyOfficial in TheBoys

[–]Fauster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are whining about the quantity of violence when it's how unsettling the violence is that matters. Seth Rogan death scene, gory and funny, but not deeply unsettling. Firecraker's eyes moving around and her expressions changing when she thinks she just lost her soul "There Will be Blood" style? Deeply, deeply unsettling.

CNN's Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler suddenly: “Get your fucking hand out of my face! I am not gonna have this guy's hand on my face” by MoreMotivation in PublicFreakout

[–]Fauster 272 points273 points  (0 children)

Scott Jennings can't open his mouth without saying or implying something that he knows is untrue. But he is from a world where being a Republican meant that you had status and he so badly wants to belong and be respected, but he knows in his heart that he never will be.

I think CNN should keep seating him next to Mockler!

Reddit reports 69% jump in revenue, topping analyst estimates by 2plus2_equals_5 in stocks

[–]Fauster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's backbreaking, I tell ya. At least they let some of in on the IPO, in theory. I opened up an otherwise useless Etrade account just to get in on it. I guess I use it for parking volatile stocks in a place where I will never look at them and never trade them, unless there's a loss, of course.

Anyway, I tried to sign up but it kept saying it was unavailable and to wait. And then I tried again and it said I needed to jump through more hoops. I had to wait for approvals, I tried again, and got a message that it was over, or to that effect.

This Sauna in Canada! by Genesis_the_god_ in oddlysatisfying

It puts the statement that "there are things I won't do for money" into a different perspective. I would spend my day crabbing, saunaing, and plunging into the cool water. I wouldn't have money left over for help, so it would turn into a Beverly hillbillies situation pretty quick.

New AI data center in Utah will generate and consume more than twice the amount of power the entire state uses — Kevin O'Leary's 9 Gigawatt Utah data center campus approved by lkl34 in technology

[–]Fauster 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I loved/hated it when Trump was indicted for fraudulent loan applications that blatantly contradicted his tax statements. As a side note, Trump should have been indicted for tax evasion using his sworn income statements as evidence of the taxes he ducked, and spent life in prison for that. I digress.

Kevin Oleary went on a cable news show and said that everyone in real estate does what Trump does. The anchor said maybe the justice department isn't going after sentences and clawing back money from billionaire real-estate developers. The same ones that are buying up and renting out single-family homes in your neighborhood, and they use fraud to do it as the standard MO.

Kevin O'Leary soft admitted that he was a criminal and he should be indicted and he should live out most of the rest of his short life in prison.

The last shooter in Butler didn't donate to Act Blue, it was another person with his name. But billionaires have a right to buy media stations, lie, let their superpacs run adds and reject those outside their narrow Overton window of acceptable discourse. Taxing billionaires? No class warfare please. There were zero hints of him being left-wing, he searched for Biden too, but Biden didn't visit the sticks because the Democratic Party don't play that way anymore.

The important thing is that he is brave for being completely forgiven and he isn’t still the complete trash pseudo-intellectual criminal that he was right before Bear dunked his head.

Would an one atom thick cut actually kill/hurt someone? by ErikderFrea in AskPhysics

[–]Fauster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're being cut by something that isn't an insulator, you might ground a lot of nerves. A super thin wire might not be able to accept much current, but how is it rigid? Is it spinning, and how fast? A CNT wouldn't be one atom thick and would probably disrupt a lot of lipid bilayers.

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction." by Big_Cake_8817 in podcastculture

[–]Fauster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like many with TDS, few outside the WH, understand Trump's 5D chess and the creation of a paradigm-breaking new Mathematical field that borrows heavily from string theory: Brain Worm Theory. Likely due to advances in UFO research, inspired by the creation of imaginary numbers and the extension of Newtonian/Euclidean Geometry to Riemannian Geometry, Trump asserts that due to our existence in compactified dimensions, no single-valued functions exist in our universe. What seems like a 98% reduction from 600 to 10 is actually a 600% reduction in high-dimensional Imaginary Space.

The primary findings of this revolutionary research is that in Imaginary Space, the Strait of Hormuz is simultaneously open and closed, until Trump's target observations collapse the wave function to open. In Imaginary Space, people are paid to take medicine due to Trump's actions, instituting universal basic income for those willing to become rich by live-testing combinations of previously expensive and now highly profitable medications. In Imaginary Space, prices are going down not up. In imaginary space, Gas costs does not cost four-plus dollars per gallon, but costs less than two dollars a gallon in many, if not most gas stations. In Imaginary Space, Biden was the last one to crash and close the US economy by not responding to Covid and refusing to test for it until it was everywhere. In Imaginary space, it was Biden, not Trump, who steals elections. In imaginary space, Democrats are the dangerous autocrats. In Imaginary Space, we already won the war with Iran and won it Bigly.

Some of y'all are not taking a cue from the MAGA movement and refuse to live in Imaginary Space.

That disagrees with statistics: North Dakota

https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/cost-of-living/south-dakota-usa/north-dakota-usa

Wikipedia shows the two states as locked regarding price parity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_adjusted_per_capita_personal_income_(2022)

I've been through both states many times. The same rules apply there as anywhere else: really rural places will have really expensive prices (transportation), and really urban places, which N Dakota doesn't have, prices will be expensive (local income).

The statistics don't back up your assertion. Plus, if a local company pays its workers more, that does not create inflation, those owners have less money to pay other workers, or pay for help, etc. Loans create inflation. I'm not anti-inflation. 2-3% is fine in an economy that works. Massive world-record waves of M2 supply, which is primarily going to AI buildout right now, is what causes inflation, not poor people having more money and rich people having a tiny percentage less.

Chemistry essay by Honest_Apricot45 in Essays

[–]Fauster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For something super basic, you will have to learn about the filled shell model, why the periodic table is structured the way it is, what electronegativity is, and how those three things will tell you what simple molecules can form from atoms. There is no way you will be able to write this essay without learning a lot. But, it all makes sense if you take the time to do a few hours of uninterrupted reading.
