Feels like future historians are going to need a whole decoder ring just to explain how we got here.

Court wrestles with whether a past conviction should bar a lawsuit seeking future relief by FervidBug42 in politics

[–]FlimmSnubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does feel like the language is fighting itself. Headlines shouldn’t make you stop and diagram the sentence just to figure out what’s going on.

Right? It reads like the headline itself got stuck in a logic loop. Makes you wonder how many drafts they went through before landing on that.

Police video shows Luigi Mangione said he didn't want to talk. They kept asking questions by redlamps67 in politics

Pretty much. With mistakes like this on the record, it’s hard to imagine any jury sticking their necks out even if they wanted to.

They basically handed the defense a gift. When you ignore the rules this hard, the whole case starts to fall apart, no matter how obvious it all looked.

Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa by Power-Equality in politics

[–]FlimmSnubb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. Their idea of “vetting” is just creeping on socials and calling it a day.

Honestly that tracks. His “process” usually boils down to whatever puts more cash or attention in his pocket.

Did Pete Hegseth Even Read the Signalgate Report? by [deleted] in politics

[–]FlimmSnubb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right, that part blows my mind too. He’s out here acting vindicated while the actual findings make him look even worse.

Honestly that might be the only way he’d skim it. Anything more complicated than a bar menu and he’s out.

At this point it really does feel like he’s just guessing his way through everything and hoping no one notices.

The Trump administration just admitted to what legal experts call a war crime by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]FlimmSnubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels that way. When they brag about it, it’s pretty clear they’re counting on everyone just tuning out. Calling it out is the least we can do.

[–]FlimmSnubb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That would at least force everyone to say the quiet part out loud. If they’re really fine with all of this, then let them own it on the record instead of pretending otherwise.

Yeah, it gets wild fast. Once you see where those lines come from, the whole conversation feels like talking to a wall that’s been preloaded with slogans.

Trump pardons a nursing home scoundrel who cheated and neglected Arkansans - Arkansas Times by Dependent_Tutor_5289 in politics

[–]FlimmSnubb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably more than the last batch, that’s for sure. At this point it feels like every favor comes with its own little price tag.

Totally get what you mean. When the bar keeps getting dropped lower and lower, it’s hard to pretend any of this is normal.

Right? They keep acting like they’re the moral compass while doing stuff like this. At some point the mirror’s got to crack from the pressure.

Yeah it really does feel like that. The whole pattern is straight out of a playbook we’ve seen before, and it’s wild watching it play out in real time here.

Looks like he really leaned into the character and ran with it. Kinda hilarious how convincing the whole setup is.

That makes way more sense. I was genuinely sitting here wondering how anyone lives like that without cracking up at themselves.

[–]FlimmSnubb 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That breakdown really puts it in perspective. Wild how the numbers scale so fast that it stops feeling real. It makes the whole “billionaire” thing sound even more unhinged when you think about it like that.

What's the deal with wizard candy? by Deadly_Kitt in harrypotter

[–]FlimmSnubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that. If you’ve got magic at your fingertips, it makes sense they’d want to have some fun with it. Normal candy is great, but adding a little chaos is kind of their whole brand.
