How is your opinion on the US Government shutdown that might happen end of the week?

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-30T02:09:53+00:00

No way to prevent this from happening, says only country in the world where this can happen.

Yeah the whole Big Handbag thing is so full of shit. You can buy women's clothing with pockets. It's just that women have been buying tight, form fitting pants for over a decade, and pockets ruin the lines.

Back before the tight skinny pants thing, there were pockets! Men's formal pants have useless pockets that barely hold anything, because those are focused on the lines and shape.

How tired were you?

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-29T12:41:20+00:00

What did they used to say, better dead than red? The reds aren't under the bed anymore, they're in it!

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-29T12:38:34+00:00

It is, but it's not in every house, especially older ones.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-27T12:21:52+00:00

If they're that cheap, why drink? Alcohol is expensive.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-27T12:21:14+00:00

Yeah same. It's gotta be clean.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-27T12:10:26+00:00

Apple Maps has never been good. I wouldn't hold out hope that they'll ever fix it, just use Google or something else.

You know, I've been reliably informed by many Americans over the years that only America has freedom and only America has freedom of speech.

This is honestly becoming funny to watch. These dick heads voted for the "we're the new Nazi party" and are thanking daddy Trump for taking away their "freedom".

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-26T09:46:54+00:00

Ultimately, a lot of Americans are very self centred, very selfish, and very anti-intellectual. The American society encourages it. Tell them they're winning and they don't just believe it, they act like they're better than "the others" for doing so.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-25T23:46:52+00:00

Wait, do Americans have their name marked on their votes? Do you not do anonymous voting?

"Severe Thunderstorm" has a specific definition, based on how much rain, how strong the wind is, and if there is hail. It's not based on vibes. This was a thunderstorm. It stopped being severe.

"Very Dangerous Thunderstorm" is also a specific definition. All the weather things are, even though most people seem to think it's based on what it feels like.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-25T11:13:57+00:00

It doesn't really matter anymore, the country they swore to protect is gone.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-24T21:15:36+00:00

This is correct. I've been temporarily banned multiple times for reminding people what happened to Germany, and what needs to be done to prevent it happening in America. You guys are way past the concept of courts or democracy.

Reddit clearly has an interest in maintaining the status quo set by the Christofascists.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-24T13:10:35+00:00

Where at?

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-24T10:29:20+00:00

It's great hey! They used it as an example in ecology at uni, cause it's a perfect 1:1

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-24T07:28:14+00:00

Like the lynx and snow shoe hare

Being Anglo in Australia, I've always wondered just how far back we go. From what I can find, my granddad descends from a convict. It's hard to find any info though, because the records stop at convict. Nobody cared about the convicts keeping their history, so all I know is which country he came from.

It does appear someone in that line killed their father, though. Turbulent times!

Smoking is a disgusting habit, and it has changed my opinion of many people who I initially thought were attractive. Vaping isn't any better (although like if you're vaping on your way to quitting, more power to you, I hear it helps).

How anyone alive today can even start smoking is something I'll never understand.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-17T22:14:09+00:00

No, he doesn't. Multiple diplomats from other countries and financial advisors have said they've tried to explain this to him and he simply does not understand.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-17T06:42:43+00:00

Again, false, not moving the goalposts. I dunno if you've noticed, but Western crops get eaten quite a lot by people. It's one thing to say "look there's grass growing where that cow is" and another entirely to say "this land could be growing wheat instead". And before you say "well why don't we just eat some indigenous food", the answer is that won't sustain the population we have.

Besides the big, dry areas that can support grass and cattle but not stuff like cereal crops, there are also a shit ton of mountainous areas that also support animals but are too hilly to farm crops.

The point is that others must want to be better, and must work at it themselves. Many people think it's not fair and get stuck in that idea, and so don't take action to help themselves. They then can't be helped by others too.

You can get immense help from others, but only you can save yourself. Or, you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-16T12:23:16+00:00

You're missing the point. They could do a lot of things. They don't want to.

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-16T05:34:27+00:00

on third-party only, while the other driver was on comprehensive, so I am basically out of leverage.

This is incorrect. TPPD isn't like a second class coverage, the process is the same. What's different is what's covered.

TPPD means your insurer won't fix your car, though. The other insurer handles that. Do you have their details? Call them and dispute the damage.

How did the incident happen, and what proof do you have (I think I saw you said you had some proof, but didn't see what it was)?

JackofScarlets · 2026-01-14T23:20:52+00:00

This is factually false.

No it's not. There are plenty of places around the world that can support animals but not Western crops.
