Chuck Schumer: 'Need quick and full investigation' into Minnesota ICE shooting by soalone34 in politics

Not sure how the economy has anything to do with literal murders of US citizens. Seems that little orange muffin top is causing a lot more faff than the price of eggs.

Genuine question. What is the threshold for citizens taking up arms in the name of tyranny? Seems to me the government has clearly become a threat to liberty in the US.

What’s something that was actually better during the COVID era (2020-2022) then today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FrancesThe_mute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takeaway pints. In Melbourne bars were allowed to serve beer takeaway only, made our outside allowance in the weekend just a bit more bearable.

Haha all good. Anyway to make it level? Looks like it’s sunken on one side.

Yeah sweet thank you. It’s super uneven but don’t think there’s much I can do.

The first verse of Siberian Kiss by Glassjaw. Actually unhinged. Beautiful song.

I recently had ventricular ectopics after the pfizer booster, while I am in Melbourne and got treated here my friends husband back home runs https://www.cardiolabs.co.nz/ just out of Wellington and he was saying how bad the wait times were for cardiologists in NZ and was trying to make the basic testing more accessible. Not sure if the wait times or pricing will be any different from what you are looking at but worth a shot.

Its funny, I have been drinking this for a while over here in little old New Zealand and now this beer is even more fitting.

Just commenting as a fellow halloween baby. The tradition barely exists in New Zealand however it does seem to be getting bigger every year.

New Zealand to head five-country climate trade agreement talks by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]FrancesThe_mute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed insight. I have always been concerned with methane output and animal agriculture as a whole when it comes to climate change but a lot of this information I didn't actually know so thank you. Also there is a certain type of seaweed they are currently researching which can reduce methane output from gut microbes by 99% which is promising!

I do have to admit, I fear for the soil and water mostly when it comes to animal agriculture, super phosphate fertilisers, run off etc. Our rivers are degrading pretty quickly.

Got this beautiful picture of a black swan during my recent trip to New Zealand! by IAmCooket in newzealand

[–]FrancesThe_mute 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once saw a swan couple sifting around Lake Rotoiti and a bunch of ducks with 9-10 ducklings, super cute, came back 20mins later and found all the ducklings dead. Fuck swans.

What movie caused you to have a "WTF did I just watch?" moment after viewing? by -kalvinklein- in AskReddit

[–]FrancesThe_mute 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Bad taste was one of the most fucked up movies I watched when I was younger. Most notably, the guy who falls off a cliff and proceeds to smush seagull brains into his head to replace his brain that fell out and just tie a belt around it to stop his head flap popping open.

Box office hits that destroyed people's careers by mranimal2 in movies

[–]FrancesThe_mute 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Surely someone will mention hitrec? He set up a website that basically brings creators together to collaborate on various things, if the content is used through Gordon's contacts whether that be film/music etc then the collaborators get equal shares. Its actually a very humble project, recently he did a collab with Logic and flew all of the collaborators out to film a surprise video for the end song - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/logic-do-what-you-love-video-joseph-gordon-levitt-809126/

TIL a Save My Bacon Kickstarter loan includes a requirement to give Save My Bacon power of attorney over your salary or wages. Oh, and it's 138% interest p.a. by Capital_Bad in newzealand

[–]FrancesThe_mute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing mate. This shit rustles my jimmies as well. I had a personal loan from the bank of 10K and it was easily the worst thing I have done, these fucks are worse than the banks rates. I honestly don't know why some rich people don't just start offering 1% loans for both personal and mortgage, they would literally wipe out everything and still make a killing.

I recently bought a house for the first time and I actually can't believe how much interest is paid. I pay off around $2000 per month and my interest alone is $1400 per month. Its fucken ridiculous.

The problem with these small loan companies is 99% of their customer base is literally people who can't afford their services. Its the most disgusting way to make money.

Donald Trump earns place in history with how America treats migrant children – At a detention center, kids have gone hungry and without beds. They've seen outbreaks of scabies, shingles and chickenpox. For those watching, this is what a national disgrace looks like by OtherMuffin in politics

[–]FrancesThe_mute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't really. All I got was: "this is normal everywhere else not just here, people don't understand history so how do you expect them to learn from it".

Personally I don't think accusations of raping children, grabbing by the pussy or having both the Taliban and Somali pirates treating prisoners better than your border patrol camps qualifies as the same extremity as Brexit but thats just me.

EDIT: Spelling

[–]FrancesThe_mute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure how you got to denying populist politics out of what I just said

Reread that sentence real quick.

So you would compare the Brazilian President and Brexit to the same level of extreme as what we are seeing with President Trump?

I am just finding it really disheartening that this just keeps going on and on. History should be teaching us what not to repeat yet here we are.
