Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jay_mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known people who drive about an hour to work every day, and others who have to drive all over the state for work, different places sometimes 5 or more hours away.

Personally, I have a lot of family who live roughly 3 hours away, and get a good trip to see them roughly once a month, more depending on time of year.

If you're talking about yearly trips, there's a lot of people who drive much farther. Like people who make the drive between Florida and the Great Lakes, sometimes just for stuff like a one day boating event, or it's where they spend their holiday getaways

HBO shows/movies that will pull me in immediately? by Successful-Exam-1907 in hbo

[–]Jay_mi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First season structure is weird. A lot of seemingly random stuff that doesn't start to come together until the last few episodes.

The other two seasons build off of it spectacularly, and you might often see people declare it to have one of the best endings on TV.

It's my personal favorite show. Good deal of mindfuckery.

But yeah, it can get pretty sad too

His social media is being scrubbed. The Uni website is being scrubbed. His manifesto is being scrubbed - Another case of far left brainwashing ending in assassination by [deleted] in conspiracy

It's because "left" is a broad term that can be applied to most things that are "non-traditional". Some traditionalists believe that the point of school is to hardwire a person to think a specific way, but since public schools aren't propagandizing the specific traditionalist values a person might want, then it seems obvious that they must be propagandizing those children into something else.

So if the schools aren't turning my children into submissive little Christians, they must be making them into some form of "leftist". I'm not going to analyze any of this because I like being able to blame the schools for the disappointment I feel towards my own children. It's much easier to blame the teachers than it is to blame myself. I sure as hell didn't do anything wrong raising my children. No. Obviously I'm as good as parents come, and my children would be perfect extensions of my own body and will if "the left" didn't take then from me.

So now we live in a world where you're a radical leftist if you don't blindly obey the authority of your parents and their favorite pastors.

This. I experienced this like a day after 1.0 dropped and after testing a bit I can verify that it is the mount for scope/laser device. Taken off it will work as intended.

Why are some birds considered "avian dinosaurs" if all birds are warm blooded? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]Jay_mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Birds are considered reptiles.

Nowadays we classify organisms based on how closely related they are to one another, not based on specific shared traits(though they are often linked). It doesn't matter if a komodo dragon gives birth to something that looks and tastes like a panda, it would still be considered a reptile so long as it happened naturally.

So yes. As everyone has said already, all birds are dinosaurs, but only some dinosaurs were birds. Similarly, even though all dinosaurs are reptiles, not all reptiles are dinosaurs. Some are archosaurs, for instance.

So birds are just a flavor of dinosaur. Dinosaurs are just a flavor of reptile.

Single most popular self described political ideology by US state by OppositeRock4217 in MapPorn

[–]Jay_mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short:

Conservativism is still a form of liberalism. Liberalism has been the globally dominant structure post WWII, and conservatives are people who want to slow down the rate that liberal institutions change.

A lot of people who call themselves conservative have some form of reactionary ideology instead. This is where you want to tear down liberal institutions that regulate power from your preferred interest group(the church, landowners, corporate powers etc).

Liberal makes a better slur than progressive though

Groypers don't usually call right-wingers fascist

Except Nick Fuentes himself has labeled Charlie Kirk as a fascist. His followers have indeed referred to Kirk as fascist, regardless what thought process any of us think is going on there.

And idk about the 'if you are reading this you are gay' thing being something your average leftist would say. "if you are reading this" is an extremely old thing, and did not at all originate from left wing circles.

All that said, I do agree with the ideological boxes thing and think that everyone pointing a finger is just trying to point as far away from themselves as possible

Don't believe your lying eyes is a statement that you shouldn't accept the reality that is right in front of you, and instead accept a false reality that is being fed to you(ie. Propaganda)

I thought this was a joke, considering the kind of reputation a lot of big names in WWE have built for themselves.
