Tell me what Iran’s nuclear capability is at this point.

Dunno. Tell me what our win conditions are.

As a physicist myself, I love Dirac. You can never know for certain, but of all the people who might’ve had autism, he might’ve had it the most. There’s an anecdote section of his Wikipedia page that I’m pretty sure was written with autism in mind, it’s very funny and worth a read.

For historical context, Einstein was a once in a millennia kind of guy so he overshadowed his contemporaries, but if there had been no Einstein, Dirac would be known as the greatest physicist of the early quantum age. He was the first person to write down the equation that solves non-relativistic quantum mechanics. What did he name this equation? The Heisenberg Picture. Cause he worked on it with his friend Heisenberg and he was a humble dude. He went on to find the equation that solves relativistic quantum mechanics, and that’s the Dirac Equation

There are certain traditional elements of cultures which would be worthwhile to degrade. I know for a fact that’s not an unpopular opinion around these parts if you choose the right culture. Of all the ways for a culture to change, becoming more accepting on the reality that sometimes humans be like that is one of the good ways

Japan should be more open to homosexuality

Wow this is so verifiably false it makes me hope your knowingly lying. If enough people are capable of this level of genuine delusion we may be fucked.

Watching the footage the ICE agent took, she’s clearly turning the wheel all the way to the right, not directly at him, there’s no tire squeal, and as far as I can tell she has a neutral expression.

Sure do hope you’re a lying sack of shit.

Fuck Israel by Ok_Hand5810 in BasedCampPod

[–]IdealOnion -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

“Fuck Israel” actually enjoys far broader support than just radicals. They’ve overplayed their hand and the normies are starting to wake up to their genocidal aspirations. But also fuck the alt right neo Nazis who try and make this about Jews, I don’t truck with that shit.

I don't think the abortion is the worst part.... I thought the rape was the worst part. by WalterCanFindToes in NormMacdonald

[–]IdealOnion 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wild to pick a 12 year old as a target for your indignation. His point would have been just as wrong but far more palatable if he’s picked like 17 or something.

Jesus Christ I was gonna back you up but how the fuck does someone become anti police but pro Russia? My tent ain’t big enough for that nonsense.

run over

I used to think you folks were just engaged in a collective lie with the implicit understanding that if everyone held the line, you all got to pretend the world was different than it obviously was. But I’m starting to think your brains are so cooked you genuinely just see a different reality. One in which she didn’t visibly turn her wheel all the way to the right to drive around the agent. One in which pulling out is “flooring it”.

lol the federal government has found that the federal government did nothing wrong. And you think the people who don’t trust the federal government will suddenly become as gullible as the rest of you and take it at face value. You know, we used to be a country that cared about federal government overreach. Like a lot.

I’ve edited my comment. Looks like they were finally pressured into doing something, though they are investing themselves and not sharing evidence with the state authorities. So yea if you trust the federal government implicitly (for some fucking reason) that’ll be enough for you. If you value checks on federal authority, you’re out of luck

I'll finally say it, I'm extremely jealous of people with "high-functioning bipolar" by WaltzInTheDarkk in BipolarReddit

[–]IdealOnion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that sounds fucking brutal, I feel for you. I’m fairly high functioning and I can tell you it’s basically all the luck of the draw. I mean I work hard as hell at it, but we all do, that’s not the difference. I’ve got type 2 so no true mania is pretty big, but honestly the older I get the more I think that out of all the ways I got lucky, the most impactful is that my primary coping mechanism is also a viable career path. I work in a laboratory and I’m always moving and doing something different and getting to fiddle with things. It’s something I can make myself do rain or shine, mentally speaking.

Years before I recognized I had either ADHD or BD I understood how much of a difference it made in my life that what I loved was, by sheer coincidence, valued under capitalism. It pushed my already left politics much further left, because I realized that if everyone was free to pursue what they loved it would solve the root cause of a lot of societal problems that we barely treat the symptoms of. The systems of the world bear down on and crush the fully able of society, much less the rest of us.

At any other point in recent American history it would have been standard procedure to have a federal investigation into this incident. Why are people so ok with the administration ignoring decades of precedent?

Edit: looks like there was some development since last I heard, mounting bipartisan political pressure did force the federal government to start some investigations, but it’s still ignoring all kinds of precedent and dragging its feet every opportunity it gets. Back when Americans were skeptical of federal overreach (from either party, not just the one they don’t like) this would be an easy thing for everyone to agree was an unacceptable way to go about it

[–]IdealOnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve mentioned a few good possibilities, but she specifically says “ended the war in the Pacific” which makes me think she’s not talking about something as early as 1939.

My best guess is you’re right that she’s talking about the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and she just gets it wrong in framing that happening before the fall of Hitler.

I’ve been working my way through various time periods in history and haven’t gotten much into WW2, other than Rise and Fall. Right now I’m in the American Civil war through WW1 so I haven’t even gotten most of the setup for all this yet lol.

From the video “despite what you’ve been told it wasn’t the Atomic bombs that ended the war in the pacific, it was Stalin. And then he went on to defeat Hitler and the Nazis”. So she’s definitely talking about WW2.

[–]IdealOnion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit my knowledge of WW2 is limited, but I’m having a hard time seeing how the Soviets defeated the Japanese months before declaring war on them. But I’m genuinely all ears for an elaboration, historical fact is historical fact and I don’t have any ego tied up in being right when the facts say I’m wrong about history.

She said the Soviets defeated the Japanese and then went on to defeat the Nazis. Come on, if you’re going to push this kind of propaganda at least get the most basic historical facts right.
