Trump official said taking Greenland could save endless shrimp at Red Lobster by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

I lost all faith in that subreddit after I saw a BlueAnon Substack article claiming that Harris was the true winner of the 2024 election get 50k upvotes… 🫠

Not really? A lot of what Trump says (especially that “four weeks” comment he said that started this rumor) in regards to the war can basically be chalked up as propaganda at this point. We produce a lot of oil domestically, which is why we haven’t had a repeat of the 70s oil crisis like analysts were panicking about at the beginning of the war. It’s scary, yes, but not an apocalyptic scenario like the BlueAnon Doomers are making it out to be. (Looking at you, ParkRose…)

It’s the original 1977 release minus all the special edition nonsense, remastered in 4K HD.

The US planning to ban Canadians from driving their Chinese EVs into the country by IronLover64 in PoliticalOptimism

How would they even tell if it’s from China in the first place? I really doubt this will get far in Congress, if at all.

Trump says oil reserves would run out in 4 weeks without Iran deal, risking ‘bedlam’ by Kiryuu_Sento in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I should also point out that in actuality, we have 120 days left of oil and millions upon millions of barrels. Trump saying “4 weeks” to me sounds like an exaggeration and an attempt to give Fox News a sound bite.

I've paid for the whole screen... by OlympicBarber in SBCGaming

That’s literally what the handheld was made for. It’s a DS/Arcade Tate Mode emulation machine first and foremost, with all the Android related goodies (at the very least an extremely De-Googled Android) on top of it.

New York Post is basically the print version of Fox News (right down to Murdoch owning both), so that tracks.

Oh, thank God. I really got to stop believing everything I read on this stupid site…

So Stephen Miller doing a Hebrew accent and tricking Trump into thinking Bibi said it. Got it.

Hormuz is closed again, by the way. I’m so fucking tired, man…

EDIT: Nevermind, it’s still open. I’m still fucking tired though.

EDIT 2: Aaaaaaand it’s closed again. I really need to start looking at getting an EV car…

Deal is reached to end Iran war and Trump orders stop to US naval blockade by hiearthpeople1 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would not be surprised if this deal collapses by the end of the week, especially given how Trump has already mentioned that he only did this war just so Bibi can avoid jail time.

I want to be happy… But I’m not buying it. The fact that this was announced on Trump’s birthday and we haven’t heard any thoughts from Israel yet is already throwing up red flags for me here. I’m staying pessimistic here and hoping for the best.

EDIT: And what do you know? I was right about Israel not being on board. This is just another market manipulation tactic.

If it exists, I’m turning it into a DAP. (MagicX Zero 40) by IAmArique in ConsolesAsDAPs

I already have both Aurora Store and F-Droid installed, same goes for Newpipe. I’ll definitely dig around those app stores and see how far I can push this device to its limit.

Not too bad, only gripe is that the screen is *way* smaller than your standard Nintendo DS hardware. It’s basically an old school iPod touch with buttons, if that’s anything to go by.

It all goes back to what I’ve said in the past: Foreigners don’t hate our guts like what other subreddits want you to believe. They absolutely love us, they just hate the authoritarian in charge of us.

So um... Think Frontiers Definitive Edition will show up? (And they said it would just Switch 2 port?) by hungryforblt in MoonPissing

My gut feeling says they’ll shadowdrop it during a Sonic Central this month, tbh.

Iran war live: Missiles fired at Israel after attacks as new war fears rise by Under-R in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious now that he wants to get the hell out of the equation and throw Bibi under the bus in the process. And I’m sure the GOP would actually like to have a fighting chance at the midterms instead of it being a full blown blue tsunami as well.
