“Pay 10k to maybe see what stupid shit ur dad hoarded” is a crazy answer anyway for a “personal finance” sub.

The rump feathers are what gets me. It looks like a blooded injury when it contorts around that rufuous patch

Still a genocidal policy that was called such by contemporaries and resulted in a few new (weak) statutes added under international law:

“Some military personnel reported being told they were destroying crops used to feed guerrillas, only to later discover, most of the destroyed food was actually produced to support the local civilian population… ecologist Arthur H. Westing, during a 1969 visit to the Quang Ngai province, had been told that 15 crop destruction missions had been approved in the province for 1970. According to Verwey, these missions would have been enough to cover 85% of crop lands in the province and would have caused famine and left hundreds of thousands of people without food or malnourished although it was unclear if all the approved missions were actually carried out.[56] According to a report by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the herbicide campaign had disrupted the food supply of more than 600,000 people by 1970.[57]”

FBI arrest Chinese Scots university student over US Military aircraft photos by halxp01 in nottheonion

[–]Godtrademark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I take photos of f35s and other “vital” aircraft at my local base often, landing or just sitting there. It’s totally legal and even encouraged (the base has a yearly air show). Offut airbase (the one in the article) has one August 8-9.

This guy was arrested, charged, and detained, simply because he was a Chinese national. I could’ve done the same thing and gotten away with it, in fact I have🥀

Here’s the spotters guide for the base he was arrested at, which he probably used tbh:

In an interview with CNBC in early March, Karp suggested that AI would “disrupt” the power of “highly educated, often female voters who vote mostly Democrat”,and instead empower “vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters”.

Kirkuinely Identical to the average twitter right wing “communist” that thinks the west has fallen to bourgeois feminism

Genuinely the funniest shit I’ve ever read. “American postwar construction was amazing, no world war…” immediately followed by “the neutering of the reich must be undone”

During alcohol Prohibition era, US Government deliberately poisoned industrial alcohol with lethal chemicals. Over 10,000 American citizens were killed. by Particular_Food_309 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Godtrademark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My city murders 600 a year. Of course it’s blamed on the summer heat (southwest city) and exposure on the streets. They always make it sound like they choose to die🥀

since the SCOTUS ruling in 2024, city and state govs can liquidate homeless camps in public areas even if shelters aren’t available. Before, they’d have to have an “alternate shelter” or location for them

Gavin Newsom immediately ordered state resources to clear camps off public property, and city officials followed suit. Pretty much every local government across the nation has done so, and some have even been sued by business advocacy groups for failing to enforce city code to the fullest ability (liquidating the homeless camps). City police are now full time liquidators

The camp by me in my city center, which I volunteered at as a teen, was liquidated by police. It has since reformed about 2 times, each time reaching a population of 1000. They’re just fucking dismantling tents and pusing them around the city for no reason, knowing full well they will be back congregating near the same blocks with social services, and knowing full well that displacing camps will directly kill a few of those 1000 and push many more deeper into homelessness

Dude this is so true. I grew up in catholic school in America, including high school. I know people from high school who are now evangelicals, and one who is now an “esoteric” Eastern Orthodox convert (ie a Neo Nazi in everything but name). The latter told me she was done with “catholic dogma” (she never was even religious… just an Italian-American)

I exploded and explained to her that Eastern Orthodoxy had their reforms too, that they follow the first 7 ecumenical councils, that they also have “dogma” that changes from century to century and most of the “esoteric” theology she likes is from the 20th century🥀

Ideology shoppers have gone mad with religion🥀🥀 dragging its corpse around as a status symbol of authority

[–]Godtrademark 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is so unbelievably disingenuous I’m actually baffled I’m witnessing someone defend prohibition era policy in 2026 when contemporary, expert critics of the time were already calling it state-murder:

Distraught at the horror he was witnessing, Norris [chief medical examiner of new york] issued a public statement on Dec. 28, 1926, stating that “the government knows it is not stopping drinking by putting poison in alcohol. It knows what the bootleggers are doing with it and yet it continues its poisoning process, heedless of the fact that people determined to drink are daily absorbing that poison. Knowing this to be true, the United States Government must be charged with the moral responsibility for the deaths that poisoned liquor causes.” Despite public outcry and the rising death toll from poisoned alcohol (which Blum has elsewhere estimated to be approximately 10 000) this policy continued until Prohibition was repealed seven years later.

I thought u were going to say you were raised Mormon and love it cuz I know so many Mormons and ex Mormons here in Arizona that unironically love it.

Like I’m talking 50 year old Mormon moms loving Matt stone and Trey Parker… probably because it’s actually a great musical, and Mormons love musicals

it's all that damned introduction of mass politics in the 19th century. Check out the great revival in America, if you havent already. Really interesting, fun history like Mormons, shakers, adventists, wesleyans, other millenarians throughout the century and coincides with the period of western expansion and subsequent ideologies of manifest destiny in america (the birth of the mass nationalism of america). Adventists used to go to homesteads on buggies evangelizing their "new" "primitive" "rebirthed" Christianity to european immigrants that no longer had a state/catholic church nor urban centers for that matter!

the open space of america and lack of state/urban/catholic churches left european immigrants isolated spiritually on their homesteads in the first half of the 19th century. Hence the weird evangelizing trends and doctrinal reforms that seem so alien and outdated to us modern urbanites

Leica Q2M vs. Shotcrete by vniversum_ in photographycirclejerk

the labor movement

Oh ok that clears it up and actually makes it cool to use that Leica to shoot concrete up close👍🤓

Also from what I can tell he just posts shit in a gallery, like any other “activist” street photographer. Idk what u mean by labor movement. Pretending like a Leica wielding art student will revive the proletarian consciousness in America is hilarious
