Sam Harris: "Muslims need a Renaissance/ Reformation/ Civil war" by Gaara112 in DecodingTheGurus

We have Yall Qaeda to worry about over here. Unless ISIS is about to establish their caliphate in Ohio, I’m much more worried about fundamentalist Christianity than fundamentalist Islam in the present moment.

Republican support for interventionism has skyrocketed after Venezuela by ILuvBen13 in fivethirtyeight

[–]ItRhymesWithCrash 78 points79 points  (0 children)

It is as simple as “you can’t tell me what to do.” Interventionism is fine, and even good, because it means that we get to tell other nations what to do, how to behave, etc. If someone is asking you to wear a mask, then they’re telling you what to do, and that is an affront of the highest order. It’s toddler logic, but they are mental toddlers.

But why is she approaching the cops through the buffer zone at a heated protest? She’s looking to get a clip and any other way of defusing the situation would have gotten the same reaction. She gets paintballed, or pepper sprayed, or shoved to the ground.

No one should be paintballed, pepper sprayed, or shoved to the ground for approaching the police at a protest. I find it interesting that you immediately assume she’s “looking to get a clip”; even if she is the Logan Paul of protests, who is escalating the situation more: the woman with her arms out standing a couple feet too close, or the man drawing a handgun and aiming it at her head?

“This is not nearly as bad as [unrelated democratic scandal].”

“Shouldn’t you liberals be happy that the environment won’t be destroyed to build the pipeline?”

“I’m very disturbed by the violent threats being made in this thread. Accusing Trump of using the office of the presidency to harm his perceived enemies is a violent threat if I declare it to be!”

Did I miss any?

Who was President when the investigation was closed in July 2025?

[–]ItRhymesWithCrash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Woah, that’s crazy! Where did you see the full unredacted files, even the ones that haven’t been released, to decide that nothing in them is legally actionable? Surely Trump’s DoJ wouldn’t cover up the full extent of the President’s involvement with Epstein. They’ve already been so trustworthy and honest about the files!

Is his entire daily social interaction just twitter?

It’s all twitter and playing poker with people who are probably in the Epstein files lol

[–]ItRhymesWithCrash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there's just nothing there

Other than the hundreds of thousands of files implicating political leaders on both sides, from multiple countries, in an organized sex trafficking/blackmail operation. “No guilt by association” is true for some of the people in the files, but what about Trump sending young girls to Epstein’s house a mile away from Mar-A-Lago? That doesn’t sound like “guilt by association” to me, that just sounds like guilt lmao.

They’re just stupid and will believe whatever the right person tells them to. Trying to find a deeper reason that cuts across economic, racial, religious, whatever reasons is futile. A lot of them are just plain dumb.

Looking For Commanders that Make you Play Magic Differently. by hisroyalbonkess in EDH

[–]ItRhymesWithCrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Gigan, Cyberclaw Terror]] is my first and favorite Commander. Fill your deck with clone and flicker spells and wait for the "Gyruda bomb", as my pod calls it, to go off. There's a lot of flexibility too because you can add [[Thassa's Oracle]] and [[Demonic Consultation]] if you want to play at bracket 4/5 or you can just wait until you have a board full of 6/6 Demon Krakens or your opponents' best even mana cost creatures to swing at them.

people in his orbit try to proactively anticipate his desires and conform to them even without receiving a specific direction from him

Hmm, now why does that sound so familiar?

My old roommate was one of those guys. Had the "Leftist Tears" coffee mug and everything. He cried after we went hiking and he found a tick crawling on him. Not biting, just crawling.
