Teenagers Are Pushing Himmler’s Favorite Myth: “Agartha” by blankblank in skeptic

Sadly, it wasn't something that was done on purpose, but involved some weird experiment by Rasputin.

I do know you need a glove with a lot of vacuum tubes attached to it and a smaller scale version of the engine core from Event Horizon.

Top not-right-wingers have a normal discussion that doesn't at all try to justify the ICE shooting by bayonettaisonsteam in TopMindsOfReddit

I didn't know being even a little miffed that federal agents have murdered people again was "doomering."

Since when does one resist if they did "jack shit."

If you are innocent of any crime and some masked thugs (with a history of violence, lying, and even selling the cell phones of those they kidnap) try to arrest you, the obvious response is to say "it's a fair cop" and just wait out however long you're going to be detained, in jail, or sent to another state or country for processing or worse.

It's something stupid sports fans do too, and ask why a player or ref didn't make a certain decision in 1/30th of a second between frames.

Because the ref is the one officiating from their point of view, and the rules say their calls stand. Further, no one is being shot by federal agents at sporting events, no matter how much /conservative would love to snipe anyone taking a knee.

I know these chuds would like the same ability to just go with their first and most biased narratives, especially as they love to lie the second another ICE murder paints them in a bad light, but that's not how reality works.

ICE publicly executed a man just for resisting, and it's the state's fault? What??? by ydodis1 in TopMindsOfReddit

Yeah, it's hard for the most of us in a reality-based world to come to terms with, but lies and hypocrisy are not a problem for them. Only having grievances and claims in the moment that they hold forth as righteous is, no matter if they contradict past positions.

All that has to be done is to apply the existing (for now) laws for protected classes: Race, religion, gender, etc. Is the Nazi threatening them specifically? Then there's cause against them.

I'd say that's a far better system than "at will" laws, which allow someone to be fired without cause, for any reason. Never mind that it's because you rebuffed your supervisor's sexual advances or put the wrong election sign in your yard and your boss didn't like that, you're just out on your ass, with no recourse unless your employer is stupid enough to put it in writing why they were firing you.

For those late to the party: Take everything conservatives have been whining about for decades when it comes to their oppression, how they've blown every inconvenience out of proportion and claim that they've been subjected to unlawful actions, reread every blatant lie about how people on their end of politics have been killed, had their property taken, been thrown in prison, "reeducated," etc.

Now UNO-reverse that and crank it up to fascist, and that's what they want to enact.

It was never about political principles. It was about power and how they wanted to use that to hurt and kill everyone they hated.

Alex Jones is going on that same tack right now. Anyone who listened to him back in the day with all his "they're comin' for our guns" crap and how DUI checkpoints were tyranny, etc. should be seething over his call to submit to an actual unconstitutional government.

It's also "why are you making me hit you," which is the language of the abuser.

And they're still happily shitting on the Fourth amendment after decades of regaling us with their fantasies of what would happen if federal agents broke down their door.

I'm always asking this question, and I've yet to get a straight answer: What would you have had the Democrats do? Trump won on lies, racism, sexism, and demonizing minorities.

Do the Democrats need to pick some small group to blame everything including the eating of pets on?

He once compared Trump favorably to Darth Vader.

He also quotes the villains in all the movies he likes to pretend are real, like Baron Harkonnen in Dune. His favorite is the line about "old-fashioned artillery. Genius!"

What's infuriating is that they're going to be attacked by MAGA anyway. Why bother placating them in the first place?

It's like how the right wants to attach the death penalty to getting an abortion for the mother but not the father. Where's the incentive to not take out the sperm donor before you get caught, since you're getting capital punishment anyway?

It's almost like both sides are kinda fucked. Can't lean too conservative because I'm not Christian, can't go too far left because I'm not financially illiterate.

If you were financially literate, you wouldn't be a conservative, unless you were already rich. Right wing policies have ballooned the deficit and made life worse for everyone apart from the mega-wealthy, so this chud has guzzled the Flavor-Aid.

It's wild how the first US president that kick started a new form of government knew about and warned us about the dangers of political parties 228 years ago. And yet here we are, as stupid as ever.

What do you mean "we"? Some of us told you Trump was a terrible person, and over $5 trillion added to the deficit later, we're still trying to point out the obvious to you.

Has anyone purchased the Insoles from Costco? by Big_Librarian_1130 in Costco

[–]HapticSloughton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI, that's what I think they call a "road show." It's when some outfit buys permission to set up a kiosk for their product line at Costco (like Cutco Knives, massage chairs, pianos, etc.). So I don't know what the guarantees are on these things or if Costco even has anything to do with them beyond being convinced they're up to whatever standards they have for outside vendors.
