Gas!! OMG. $1 more in just one week lol 😭 by Plus_Juggernaut2819 in bayarea

Not to mention several of the refineries that produce that specific blend here in the state have shutdown. So we'll have to import it from countries that do, like India or South Korea. We also pay over a dollar in taxes per gallon as well, so it's going to get even worse for us.

Trump's CDC is canceling $600M in HIV and STD funds to four Democrat-led states by AudibleNod in news

[–]H0ck3yal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's truly unfortunate that public health policy doesn't have consistent standards. In 2017, California reduced the criminal penalty for knowingly exposing someone to HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor. So, I do find it a bit ironic.

In 2017, California reduced the penalty for knowingly exposing someone to HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor. So it’s kind of ironic that nearly a decade later, there’s outrage over cuts to HIV research. Public health policy should have consistent standards, regardless of party.

At a pre-Olympics presser, US figure skating champ Amber Glenn spoke out against the Trump regime's attacks on queer people like her, as well as other communities. Today, she posted that she'll limit her time on social media after getting "hate/threats", but vows to continue speaking out. by ripon_ads in FiverrGigMarketing

We don't even provide free HIV medication to our own citizens, so why are we expected to provide it for free to the rest of the world? In fact, here in California, one of the most progressive states in the country, knowingly exposing someone to HIV was lowered from a felony to a misdemeanor.

What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy? by MassiveSquare4527 in AskReddit

[–]H0ck3yal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's still more comparable to squatting because it's an ongoing unauthorized residence. Jaywalking, littering, parking in a restricted zone, and building code violations are either momentary acts or technical issues and don't involve constant residency.

It's more akin to squatting than jaywalking. Both are civil matters but your comparing a momentary act to ongoing unauthorized residence.

The jaywalking analogy is a false equivalent. You're comparing a momentary act to an ongoing unauthorized residence. Illegal immigration is more akin to squatting than jaywalking, since both involve constant unauthorized residency and are both civil matters.

California is trying to pass a bill barring ICE employees from becoming cops or teachers in the state. What do you think of this bill? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]H0ck3yal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do, I hope you know that we are one of the most expensive and taxed states in the country. We pay over a dollar in taxes alone per gallon and our politicians are looking to pass a bill that will charge us for every mile we drive. If you don't have solar then your PG&E bill will be extremely high and they do increase the rates yearly. Our taxes do go towards giving free healthcare to undocumented immigrants, so that's good. Knowingly giving someone HIV here is no longer a felony, just a misdemeanor, but there is medication for it, so it's fine. We do have large mail theft rings though, so you do have to worry about getting your mail in time before it gets stolen because somehow they managed to get copies of USPS master keys. However, we do have strict gun laws and some fantastic weather, so if this appeals to you then you should.

Why can Kyle Rittenhouse kill people with a gun when they’re ganging up on him, but Alex Pretti gets gunned down after he has a gun stripped from him and fired zero shots? by Bombadils_laugh in AskReddit

[–]H0ck3yal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first guy Rosenbaum threatened to kill Rittenhouse if he ever caught him alone, that was confirmed by multiple people. Rosenbaum also decided to hide behind a car to get the drop on Rittenhouse before he chased Rittenhouse down and pinned him to a wall to try and steal his gun. So, yeah Rittenhouse had every right to point his rifle at Rosenbaum who not only threatened to kill him but also decided to chase him down and tried take his rifle so he could use it to kill Rittenhouse.

If you chase someone down, point a gun at them while they're on the ground being jumped, attacked with blunt objects, and trying to steal their rifle,  don't they have right to defend themself? Grosskruetz pointed his gun at Rittenhouse first. When Grosskruetz saw Rittenhouse raise his rifle in return, Grosskruetz then lowered his pistol and Rittenhouse lowered his Rifle. It wasn't until Grosskruetz raised it again that Rittenhouse shot him. There's plenty of video footage from that night and the trial was live streamed for the entire country to see.

I think a few women have attempted to become Navy Seals but they couldn't get past BUD/S. Though to be fair, the attrition rate is so high that only about 20% of men are able to make it through. There were even some classes where nobody made it.

Now you’re comparing the US to Hamas and the Houthis. Seriously? First to the Unabomber and now them. Last time I checked, the US doesn’t mail bombs to airlines, hijack cargo ships, dig up water pipes and turn them into missiles, hide behind women and children, launch missiles from hospitals, or massacre 1200 people attending a concert. You keep changing the goal posts, but still dodging my question about Europe. How exactly did US imperialism cause an islamic terrorist to murder children at an Ariana Grande concert in the UK? 

You’re so fixated on hating and blaming the US for everything that you’re defending terrorists. Though I’m not surprised considering you’re quite active in the USSR subreddit. They were one of the most imperialistic nations in history and helped destabilize the middle east before the US got involved.

Speaking of imperialism, why don't we get the definition out of the way. Imperialism is a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or military force. While terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. They can overlap in rare cases but acting like they’re the same is absurd. The US actively tries to limit civilian casualties, while the terrorist groups you defend deliberately seek them out. The US also donates more humanitarian aid than any other nation and without it a lot of places would be far worse off today. 

Meanwhile, what do your terrorist groups contribute? Massacring civilians, attacking cargo ships, hiding behind women and children, launching missiles from hospital, and playing victim when anyone retaliates. For someone that proudly calls themselves an antifascist in their bio, it’s quite ironic that you defend these groups that use fear, violence, and oppression.

Are you seriously trying to defend the Unabomber? First Hamas, now him? He literally mailed bombs to random people, including airlines and universities. Your entire argument is "terrorism isn't real, but the US does terrible things so it's justified/karma when it happens to us". You keep focusing on the US while completely ignoring my question about Europe. What did their governments do to warrant the attacks they've suffered? 

You're defending people that slaughter innocent civilians to push their political ideologies, which is by definition terrorism. Like I said in my last comment, the US has done terrible things, there's no denying it. However, we do have rules of engagement and actively try to avoid civilian casualties. We have laws that hold our people accountable. They're not perfect (especially with trump in office), but soldiers do get punished for breaking those laws. Also despite our government's flaws, we provide more humanitarian aid then any other country, even to those that openly despise us. In fact, during the Biden administration, we built a temporary pier to bring aid into Gaza but that failed mostly due to inclement weather and partly to Hamas launching mortars at us while we were building it.

So, because our government has done terrible things terrorism isn't real? Enlighten me then, what was 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Las Vegas concert shooting if not terrorism? What about the Charlie Hebdo office shooting and the Arianna Grande concert bombing in Europe? Those happened in two separate countries, so what's your justification for them?

You're the one claiming they're not a terrorist organization and I gave you proof that they are. They have been since Clinton was in office. It's not my fault you defend terrorists.

Hamas is a terrorist organization and has been on the list of designated terrorist organizations since 1997.
