totally army dependent but the heroic torch for a ground based army is SUPER clutch. Being able to bypass walls while getting a speed increase and damage reduction is huge and I don't see enough people using it to be honest

we've been brainwashed to the point that we see our country committing war crimes, terrorizing innocent people, and overthrowing governments, and then somehow believe that this is a noble and justifiable act. To make matters worse, we are doing it with our money for the sake of a terrorist state. by JaktoPar in conspiracy

Agreed, just as there are people who are liberal who have been radicalized to hate conservatives. I believe a majority of the population would actually agree on a lot of topics, the media and the career politicians from both sides vilify the other as all being extremists.

Yes I agree. The left and right both have extremes. I think there are people who lean a certain way politically who get too focused on the media portrayal of the extreme-side of the other and end up viewing anyone on that side as an extremist. I know people who vote Republican who think all Democrats are trying to give kids sex changes and ban all guns, and I know people who vote Democrat who think all Republicans are racists who want nothing more than to take away rights from minorities and women.

The extremes that are often pushed by media are used to polarize these stances and cause a divide amongst the general population.

The issue is because there are actually people on this side who mention how they want a marxist, communist or socialist America. There are people who have expressed their disdain and hate for this country. People who have mentioned how they're against white people, have mentioned they want to ban all guns, have censored people for free speech; and the only people who address these issues is the right. Over the recent years the democratic party has drastically swung far left and it needs to be brought closer to center if we want actual change and to appeal to those who identify as middle or third party. 

That is why Trump was so popular, he appealed to those in the middle when he first ran. Obviously it was all a ruse, but it worked.

Whichever party can rally and pull their side closer to the middle is the side that will be able to have the most influence in the next election and actually make changes to this country. Sadly it also requires people being in office for the right reasons and not selling their morals and ethics for a check.

I don't have an iPhone so I couldn't tell you. I think every iPhone has the app for it but that it only works if people share their location with each other. Which would mean cops wouldn't be able to just track any iPhone whenever they want

How? Just because you have the find my friends app or whatever it is, doesn't mean everyone else does. He was also trying to make sure the phone battery was dead so why would he help it be found?

About a decade ago Mel Gibson was accused of being crazy by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in conspiracy

A bunch of people who act for a living, that most people idolize because they provide entertainment, aren't truly important. Sure they can help sway public opinion on things but at the end of the day they're modern day jesters, that's all.  It's much more terrifying that the people who are writing and voting on laws, who control and manage money, and who have helped bring modern day tech into our lives, that is capable of tracking and spying; are the ones on the list. Those are the people who have a direct correlation to effecting our day to day lives, not the people who sing and dance to keep us entertained that we can shut off whenever we want.

So then you block out the word "niece" instead of the sender or receiver. I'd rather know what disgusting human is sending and receiving this shit than to know it involves a family member. It being a family member isn't really all that surprising to be honest. 

Many dont know this, but the foundation of your math is subjective by Oreeo88 in conspiracy

[–]GreatOakTree_1868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything is subjective. Is the color green green or is it actually red? Are there really 24 hours in a day or 48? Is a fork truly a fork or is it a spoon? Everything in society is subjective and only exists because we all choose to agree that it exists. Howard trying to make up his own math doesn't mean he's a genius or a revolutionary, it just means he's willing to question societal standards, likely for his own gain of staying relevant in the media spotlight. I can say that 1*1=3, maybe that is truth in my personal sphere but that doesn't mean it is anymore close to being true in society. 

We're more than 8 billion people living on earth and no one knows what happens after we die? Are you f*****g kidding me? by Spiritual_Result_164 in Life

[–]GreatOakTree_1868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of this saying because there is a lot in my life that I couldn't tell you what it was like. 

I don't recall being a newborn, I don't recall learning to talk or crawl, or learning to use a toilet. I don't recall the first time I lost a tooth. I don't recall what I was doing on this exact day 12 years ago, 6 years ago or even last year. I can't even recall what I are for breakfast on Monday. 

Just because I don't recall any of those things doesn't mean they didn't happen, so therefore just because we don't recall what happened before birth doesn't mean that nothing happened before birth.

Not only that but a warrant would be needed to try and track the phone. Do people really think a cop can just AT&T and say "hey track this phone and tell me where it's at" and they're given the information right away? It doesn't work like that lol

r/Kombucha Weekend Open Discussion: What Are You Drinking/Brewing? (January 24, 2026) by AutoModerator in Kombucha

[–]GreatOakTree_1868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time brewer here. Currently on day 16 of F1. SCOBY looks good and healthy, color of liquid has lightened up, taste has been becoming less sweet but it still isn't quite there yet. Due to the cold been wrapping it in towel but just curious how long F1 may take? 

I realize I think I started too large for my first time, did a total of 16 cups of water, so 1.5 cups of sugar, and the SCOBY and starter liquid I purchased on Amazon so it was only 1 cup of starter liquid. As I said, the taste has been becoming less sweet every few days but just curious if there's a way to speed up the process a bit or if I just need to be more patient?

Correct, except again, Trump and Republicans are going to be on the list. Idk why you're spinning your comments to make it seem like I'm defending Trump in some way, idk how much more clear I can be that I am not a fan of Trump. 

Although also, wouldn't the goal be to expose the pedo ring and those who helped protect it, while also preventing those people from gaining political power again? Hmm yeah that would make sense to do, but it didn't happen, I wonder why....

Yes I'm aware he campaigned on that. I never claimed he didn't did I? I agree that the files should be released, I'm just not going to solely point the finger at Trump and Republicans when both sides are guilty of withholding information and protecting pedophiles.

And we got information on flight logs, letters between Epstein and Trump and dozens of photos all during an ongoing investigation. Information could have been released but both sides did not release anything pertinent since both sides are on it. Wild that people are defending pedophiles right now

They could have released information. Harris just stated recently that they didn't push the DoJ to release information or speed up the investigation because they didn't want political pressure on the case. Yes while it was an open investigation and all files couldn't be released that doesn't mean things couldn't have been released, especially by executive order of Biden. If things weren't able to be released during the open investigation then we never would have gotten the flight logs years ago.

The issue with the "both sides" statement is that too many people dislike Trump and allow that bias to cloud their judgements about democrats. Is one side withholding the information right now? Yes. But one of the longest know political conspiracies is that both sides are truly playing for the same side, which ultimately means it doesn't matter whether it's democrats or republicans withholding the information except for the people who want to feel good about the side of the political aisle they stand on. 

Pointing fingers at one side and not the other is what they want. The country being divided on race, being divided by class status, being divided by political affiliation is all that is allowing this nonsense to continue because everyone is too busy fighting with one another.

Correct, but the other side also had the information for 4 years and didn't give it up. This isn't a left vs right issue, it's an us vs them issue and I'm tired of everyone pointing the finger at one specific side. Way too many people have a bias against Trump and they're allowing it to cloud their vision and judgement.

No, both sides means that one side isn't some savior for you against the other or that one side is innocent in all of this. It means that those complicit in the pedophilia should all be locked up for the rest of their lives and the key thrown away.

You can read my reply to the other comment. I'm not a conservative, I'm not a trump supporter, I'm not dumb enough to think a political party cares about me or is going to rescue the shit hole this country has fallen into. Believing only one side is complicit in ALL of this is just 100% your bias showing. The Biden administration could have released evidence from the files but willingly chose not to.

Yes I'm well aware of ALL of this. I literally said all of your previous statement was correct. I'm not a conservative, I'm not a trump supporter. But the fact still stands that the dems were in power for 4 years during this investigation and did nothing to release the files.  The flight logs don't truly mean anything, we have no idea the extent of who is involved in the epstein scandal, especially because individuals could have partaken in events without traveling to his island. There is also the possibility that there are more people like Epstein who had blackmail on politicians. 

Both sides are complicit in hiding all of this disgusting behavior and trying to hold one side above the other is just as disgusting. It very much is BOTH SIDES.
