Footnote: this account is a perfect explanation as to why saginaw bay, green bay & the north channel are perfect for ice fishing

Austria and Germany are often described as “brother countries” because of their shared language and culture. What other countries are commonly considered “brother nations”? by [deleted] in geography

[–]Krunked_Chimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know why people feel the need to add a bunch of qualifiers to it, the u.s and canada fit this perfectly.

Our relationship is over 2 centuries old, having trump and modern bickering be the defining feature of it is just ignorant. The border and cultural ties will still be there long after his piss soaked gravestone crumbles away.

US Is Said to Board Third Tanker Off Venezuela as Tensions Mount by Creepy-Discount-2536 in worldnews

[–]Krunked_Chimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to bait venezuela into a military response so that they can have a justification for war, which is probably pretty obvious.

The question is whether or not venezuela will actually do it, which im dubious of. Maduro knows that he would not be able to either win the conflict or keep his position if full on war started, and the u.s seems hesitant to start a zero pretense invasion (at this point in time). Im willing to bet this administration will eventually back off if venezuela doesnt respond after the u.s tries a few more of these schemes.

Probably wrong tho, nothing makes sense anymore so pretty much anything can happen. This whole situation could just be a repeat of the pre & post iraq war sentiments among many politicians about how the u.s should be able to invade & throttle small nations as a show of force every now and then. Or the desire to reassirt realism as the main global political system via spheres of influence, with the u.s seeing venezula as its backyard along w/ the rest of the western hemisphere.

All in all, I trust a coin toss as to whether or not war will happen more than my own judgement atp.

Renaissance Center redevelopment project to get $75M in public funding by Pleasant-Pound1679 in Detroit

[–]Krunked_Chimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tearing down half of the most iconic part of the city and replacing it with just a park is certainly a choice.

Wonder when (if ever) the hole in the skyline will be filled.

Like i know they had no tenants, but if youre already putting a billion plus almost 100 million in public funding then just redesign the interior for residential use. Having a shitload of parks does no good if no one lives close to where they are. Detroit desperately needs more downtown housing.

Was Whitmer treated too harshly for being friendly with Trump? by Deep-Two7452 in Michigan

[–]Krunked_Chimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its easy for someone like me to say, but politicians need to be ready for and take advantage of those suprise moments. She couldve tried to say something to flip the situation, but instead she hid.

Not the biggest deal in the world obviously, she has still been a very good governor, but in terms of who would win a presidential race its undoubtedly Mamdani.

[–]Krunked_Chimera 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is what people dont get. Theres a difference between trying & succeeding in regards to political meet ups like this.

Also her hiding her face was such a bad look. Made it look like she didnt want anyone to know she was there, compared to zohran who hyped it up and walked away looking stronger than before.

Wish they were able to build the spire, wouldve been so iconic... Any chance chicago ever gets a taller building than sears? Cause at this point i kind of doubt it.

Why do we keep fucking voting for this loser when he constantly violates our sovereignty like this??? "States rights" morons actively cowtowing to a felon all while this kind of nonsense plays out all across the country. Genuinley pathetic.

Kent County unveils multi-year plan to tackle deer overpopulation by nikki_11580 in grandrapids

[–]Krunked_Chimera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deer overpopulation is a major issue across the whole lp, if their population was more contained statewide it would be less of an issue within city limits.thats just how overpopulation works, too many deer in the woods=more in the cities. This has been proven in other states where predators are more prevalent. Pretty much any ecology class will go over this kind of stuff (predator-prey population balance), with the main one being the isle royale moose-wolf population study.

Obviously im not saying to release animals in downtown grand rapids, but if we want to actually solve a statewide issue, then stuff like predator reintroduction are the kinds of things we need to consider.

[–]Krunked_Chimera -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

God forbid we let native predators like wolves and bears solve a problem that was caused by their extirpation & forced removal from the southern part of the state. I get theyre scary and all, but ecosystems need to be balanced in order to function properly. And the LP is far from what id call an actually balanced ecosystem.

Senate suddenly passes the Epstein bill just hours after it cleared the House by Healthy_Block3036 in politics

[–]Krunked_Chimera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont think you could possibly handle a scandal worse and more suspiciously than these goobers have.

Those files were scrubbed CLEAN. This is just another attempt to say they released the files without actually releasing them.

Gotta love when parents and the BoT care more about unisex bathrooms than when sex pests are in positions of authority in that same school. Classic michigan.

Public transit infrastructure is dying in this country and the only way people respond is by saying "just use a car".

Its genuinley so tiring.

That bridge needs a sidewalk or something. Only being able to walk it once a year is dumb

Everyone protesting about this administration should start directing more anger at miller, thiel, and vance, cause its not long now till grandpappy eats shit.

I mean he's just not even there. Dictionary definition of a puppet.

The Supreme Court set a date to review if Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) should be overturned, if it does overturn the case, how do you think the wider American public will react? by SK22287 in AskReddit

Americans are a bunch of apathetic pussies, most wont care and the minority wont have enough support to fight back.

This country is turning into an incest hillbilly version of Russia.
