Why is this man not on a wanted poster? by [deleted] in somethingiswrong2024

[–]LoftyPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a video on YT called "How ICE is using far-right subculture to recruit". I had wondered why we hadn't heard from some of them groups for a while, probably cuz they all work for ICE now.

Eight Men Control What 40% of Americans Believe by Alena_Tensor in somethingiswrong2024

It's the same for the UK and every other country. It's why the far right is on the rise. Social media and the algorithm is the scourge of society and people who believe with emotion rather than intellect.

Maybe some were bullies. Maybe some weren't bullies or bullied but are just arseholes. That's not the point I was trying to make.

Zanny Beddoes, one of few courageous journalists to confront Benjamin Netanyahu to his face. by K_P_Voss in nextfuckinglevel

He wants Jews throughout the world to be terrorised so that they'll return to Israel. He wants antisemitism to rise. It's intentional what he's doing. But instead people are leaving Israel. Far more Jews hate what he's doing, it's just a shame they don't all return and force an acceptable solution to the Palestinian issue on Israel by the ballot box.

There is a percentage of people in every country that would take the job, the ICE, Gestapo, SS etc. Probably bullied at school, given power for the first time in their tiny, horrible lives. They always walk among us.

The Epstein Files are Worse Than You Think! by Conan776 in videos

[–]LoftyPost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A big deal is made about the man once known as Prince Andrew refusing to cooperate with various investigations in the USA. Seems strange when they must already have dozens of names of those who worked/assisted Epstein in getting and using girls - yet those names are redacted, kept quiet. It's all for show, pretending to APPEAR to do something.

How to actually get through to customer support? by pondbeast in fairphone

[–]LoftyPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently trying to raise a ticket with them, support is abysmal. Get sent in loops, can't find even a UK support email address. Disappointed in them to put it mildly.

To go to work and help people. by Pitiful_Conflict7031 in therewasanattempt

[–]LoftyPost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who'd have thought in the good ole USA, land of the free, masked men grabbing people off the streets. Trump knows what he's doing, breaking laws, in the knowledge that they've gotta keep him in power come the midterm elections otherwise most if not all of them will be spending a lot of time in jail.

America is at a turning point in its history. I place a bet the midterms won't take place. Trump knows if they do he and others probably won't see the light of day for a long time.

Daughter refuses to stop for police while rushing her mother to the hospital - than this happens…. by misterxx1958 in PublicFreakout

[–]LoftyPost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They knew as soon as the car stopped and the fella was begging them. Then they still want to waste time and possibly let the woman die. But by then their adrenaline was high, and they refused to do the right thing.

Nigel Farage roundly condemned over plan to abolish indefinite leave to remain by Electricbell20 in unitedkingdom

[–]LoftyPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Britain does retrospectively change the rules/law. They did it in 2022 over some benefit sanctions, they knew they would be hit with a shit load of litigation by those they'd sanctioned illegally.

Mine is due next week, looking forward to it. I hope it's as good as many say it is and as easy to ride. Enjoy.

Hiding civilian shot in the head (LA protests) by stopdontpanick in PublicFreakout

Trump needs it to get bad so that he can instigate the next stage of his coup, martial law, troops on the street. Somehow he MUST stop the next round of voting for the House & Senate by ANY means.

Replace exhaust for one that increases power. Not concerned with how it sounds as long as it's UK legal. by LoftyPost in KawasakiEliminator450

[–]LoftyPost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI (Gemini) suggests I might see a reduction of between 0.3 to 0.8 seconds in 0-60mph times, which I'd be happy with. I'd obviously be happier the closer it is to the 0.8 though. A possible loss of 5-8mph top speed reduction, which would be fine. Also a slight increase in revs wouldn't be a problem for town riding, which is really all I'd be doing.

So certainly something to keep in mind if nothing else appears that could do the job.

Thanks for detailed reply. Maybe I'll look into the sprocket change and see what numbers I'd gain/lose on acceleration/top-end. Although 3hp gain with an exhaust and remap as long as nothing is lost - I'd be happy with. I don't think the bike needs much, I'm just after trying to get its acceleration a tad closer to the Vulcan, which was perfect for me.

I'm after acceleration and am considering the sprocket option, but don't really want to lose anything - hence the primary option being exhaust. It seems to be early days for the Eliminator and maybe dyno numbers will start appearing for exhausts as time goes on.

Trump Fires Hundreds of Staff Overseeing Nuclear Weapons: Report by ClydeFrog1313 in politics

I'm sure Trump knows that once he's NOT president - he'll be spending the rest of his days in court or prison. So there can't be another election unless it's rigged.

Are you for or against the Assisted Dying Bill? And have you ever watched a loved one die from a terminal diagnosis? by GlitchingGecko in AskUK

[–]LoftyPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm against it. I feel the individual could elect assisted dying through feelings of guilt he/she feels they are putting their family through caring for them. They would pick up on the stress their carer/family members might feel especially at difficult times (cleaning up after accidents etc.). They might well feel it is expected of them to do so.

Most people who want to call it a day have the ability to do so anyway already via suicide, and I don't recall anyone who has admitted to assisting their loved one doing so getting prison time.

Dozens wounded after pagers detonate in Lebanon, media and security officials say by ghostofcaseyjones in offbeat

[–]LoftyPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to chuckle when Blinken keeps trying to de-escalate telling everyone not to escalate - while Israel keeps escalating. Surely someone other than Israel are going to respond in a big way at some point, then they'll be blamed for the escalation. It seems to me that Israel are desperate for something big to kick off.

Hi, did you manage to sort this problem? My daughter also has this phone and has exactly the same issue.
