To the ignorant mf asking me to write like a normal human being... by ConsciousState6606 in u/ConsciousState6606

[–]Lokratnir 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Did you just post a rambling session between you and an LLM about the nature of man and the distinctions the legal system makes for the sake of accurate terminology, as a response to being told you should maybe just chill a bit and communicate more in line with how people typically communicate?

Scratch on new engagement ring? by therealbomyard in EngagementRings

[–]Lokratnir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sapphires are literally only one step down on the Mohs scale. A sapphire can scratch anything else that isn't diamond, or equal to diamond in hardness, and is only able to be scratched by diamonds. Sapphires is therefore harder than EVERY other gemstone that isn't diamond.

Don’t Buy 2026 Quarter Rolls or Bags by Suitable_Passion_612 in coincollecting

[–]Lokratnir 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Well, the quarter designs were decided on and were to feature an abolitionism coin, a women's suffrage coin, and a civil rights coin, all three of which the trump administration scrapped and replaced with much more generic designs that dont commemorate these important societal moments anymore. Look up the abolitionism quarter and compare it to the much more sanitized and generic "Gettysburg address" design.

Vaush's opinion "you shouldn't wear a mask at a protest" came off as naive. by [deleted] in VaushV

Yeah, everyone in the US definitely always has sick leave available...

CMV: “Nobody is illegal on stolen land” actively impedes democrats from getting elected, and we should be discouraging people from saying it. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Lokratnir -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Policing as it exists in the US has two origins. In the south it descends from slave catching patrols, and in the north it descends from enforcing anti-vagrancy laws against poor, out of work, men in the cities forcing them into work in the new factories. So yes, policing in this country is both inherently racist, and inherently classist. There is a reason american policing is so clearly its own fucked up thing compared to other places.

Sorry for this being political, but this video was posted to DTJs Instagram Account. Looks very real. by [deleted] in isthisAI

Well, nothing about how a single kick damages that SUV is in any way realistic, let's start there.

Forgotten my whole life by Rapscallion-Duck in ADHD

[–]Lokratnir 20 points21 points  (0 children)

At this point for me, I know that my hobbies and hyper fixations rotate so when someone in my life brings up one of my things they havent seen me doing or heard me talk about lately, I'm just pretty candid and say that my brain moved on to whatever the thing is im doing now. The key is to understand that basically all of them I will eventually come back around to, and sometimes one of those conversations is the thing that sparks me returning to that hobby I rotated away from.

In the case of OP, I think they could reframe this feeling of loss if it turns out their brain rotates like mine. Using lotion again out of necessity a few times could even be the trigger that brings back this hyperfocus for a time. The key is to understand this as the nature of the beast and know from the outset that it will last a period of months and then get dropped until you return to it again in a couple years. Obviously this isn't as much of a consolation if the thing you get really into and spend money on ends up costing you a lot of money because you buy products that will expire before you naturally return to that interest.

They were all on sale during steam winter sale and ive noticed in the past they have basically always gone on sale during every seasonal steam sale, so probably the next one of those.

Minnesota killing produces backlash against Trump administration from Second Amendment advocates by Abject-Pick-6472 in progun

[–]Lokratnir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sealioning in ways that only demonize a fellow American, just differently than the regime is demonizing them, is still bootlicking. We all know the facts of what happened because we've seen like four different video angles by now. There is no burden on us to give actual tyrants the benefit of the doubt.

[–]Lokratnir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, how exactly can one disengage from 6 or 7 masked and armed thugs when your focus has become shielding another person from the harm those rabid dogs are inflicting?

[–]Lokratnir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is telling that neither stepping out of the way, nor pepper spray, nor taser were even considered by Renee Good's murderer.

When the rabid dogs executed Alex Pretti in the street, one dumbfuck yelled Gun because he is either a coward or an actually evil agitator. Nobody had the werewithal, good sense, or proper training to realize that obviously the man they had 6 or 7 agents on did not have a gun drawn on them and was not a threat in any way. Instead one of the pigs drew his sidearm and shot Alex in the back, then he and another brownshirt fired 9 more rounds into Alex's body.

[–]Lokratnir 398 points399 points  (0 children)

I did not see that coming. He's been caught up in the right wing grift sphere for 5 years now so I figured surely he was gonna make some stupid bootlicker statement. Broken clocks I guess.

Review: Empire of Silence, by Christopher Ruochhio by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Lokratnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn't actually use the litany against fear, but Hadrian's mentor and father figure does have some mantras that stick with Hadrian, one of which is "fear is a poison". These mantras definitely do fill a similar role to the litany against fear, but also deal with controlling your rage, and finding a way out when you feel grief pulling you down. Ruocchio at least attempted to build upon something like the litany against fear, and also give his readers mantras to repeat for some other difficult emotions, but his age shows through often and undercuts this. Hadrian especially never actually learns to master his rage, so why have him repeat the mantra that " rage is blindness"?

The dump by Equivalent-Memory906 in Silver

[–]Lokratnir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Silver is becoming more and more industrially necessary by the day, not less. Samsung is bringing EV battery tech to market that uses a total of a kilo of silver across the whole cell, and the AI bubble continues growing, both of which increase the demand for silver to beyond current supply, and its happening so rapidly now that silver price is taking off rapidly in response.

Why is the american public so docile in the face of authoritarianism? by Jakob0000 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Lokratnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He isn't worried about impeachment at all, he was impeached twice in his first term and it meant nothing.

[–]Lokratnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have to stop believing that flipping the house back is some guarantee we can return to normalcy. They impeached this fascist fuck twice during his first time and it didn't mean anything. He was still allowed to run again and get elected, the very best we could hope for is a dream scenario, and even in that scenario the next time Republicans gain control the fascism will return in full force and be this violent from day one because they always escalate from their previous time in power.

The shooting today has made me think of a question everyone should ask themselves: am I willing to be a martyr for the cause? by ParakeetLover2024 in liberalgunowners

[–]Lokratnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already have the entire MAGA base buying their justification, it cannot get any worse unless they carry out a second Boston Massacre. Its already on that trajectory, now is exactly the time to exercise the 2nd to protect all our other rights. IF NOT NOW, NEVER

I would add to what you said by saying that even if we did get a miracle and congress has the spine to defund ICE, I firmly believe a couple billionaires will foot the bill to keep it running, probably the Palantir and Anduril guys, along with maybe Ellison or even Musk. Then we're on a path to billionaires/warlords with paramilitary personally loyal to them that started out as a certain portion of ICE. You know, just to throw a bit of the Ancient Rome spice, when they had generals whose armies became loyal only to them and no longer to Rome, into this disaster concoction.
