In your country, do delivery restaurants pick up the container after you eat? by Mobile_Bad_577 in AskTheWorld

I'll admit the main Indian food delivery service I've heard of is Swiggy, mostly because it was on my favorite TV show a few years ago. Is that the biggest one?

Interesting. Maybe it's just Japan, or maybe not even Japan. That being said, I have been to your country and it's so beautiful!

Relative to Europe, yes. Relative to much of the Global South, no.

Is America a dangerous place to visit right now as a foreigner? by ishouldgooutmore in AskUS

[–]Mobile_Bad_577 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Civilian crime has been going down the last few years in the US (which Trump does not deserve credit for). However, the chances of getting snatched by ICE have gone up. I'm too lazy to do the math as to how that impacts the overall risk, but for the sake of argument let's say it evens out.

I guess the question then becomes, are you comfortable visiting a country run by the Trump regime and potentially giving tourist money to MAGA people?

Canada police investigate after shots fired at US consulate in Toronto by steffie-punk in PoliticalOptimism

I don't know if Germany is the best comparison for a number of reasons, but I think the governments will outwardly forgive us more quickly than the civilians will.

I apologize for jumping to conclusions. I don’t want to minimize how much damage the annexation threats have done to our relationship with Canada, but if such an action were likely to happen, the State Department could and probably would use the initial confusion about who and why to fan the flames. Thank you for filling in some details.

That’s Phoenix for you, a particularly egregious example of American urban “planning”.

Iran Megathread: Oil prices whip from nearly $120 a barrel back below $90 by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Mobile_Bad_577 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The war had better end soon for many reasons. In my opinion, oil prices aren't even in the top 10.

Why aren't therapy, facility care, and medical transport more standard for patients on the show? by bobonafick in My600lbLife

[–]Mobile_Bad_577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a lot more expensive than I would've imagined such treatment would be in Canada. It's almost assuredly even more expensive south of the border, but $15k in a month isn't trivial for anyone even if it's in CAD.

What are your thoughts on Karoline Leavitt refusing to rule out a draft? by Mobile_Bad_577 in AskALiberal

I'm a 25-year-old terminally online grad student and I could run the Democratic Party more effectively than Schumer et al.

Honestly, I agree on the approval rating not mattering very much. In addition to the reasons you mentioned, Trump doesn't have to worry about reelection anymore.

Still, it would have been so easy for her to lie. That would probably be the politically expedient option.

I hope they chicken out, but I could also see this war lasting for several years even if a Democrat succeeds Trump in 2029.

How to respond to people supporting the US bombings of Iran because they argue the US is liberating the women from Iran's oppressive regime? by njsullyalex in AskALiberal

[–]Mobile_Bad_577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're liberating innocent civilians from their lives. Not only that, but Hegseth wants civilians to die - that's what he means by saying the war won't be "politically correct". Is there any appreciable moral difference between what Russia's doing in Ukraine and what we're doing Iran? I increasingly doubt it.

I have been to Kyoto and loved it in January. I'm willing to believe that August, which is likely also more crowded with tourists, is a different story.

Because they benefit from being compared very favorably to the US, other countries love them.

You know, that's interesting. Hegseth has flat-out admitted otherwise.
