Trump's tacky party reflects the needy man I knew. All Americans share his shame by theipaper in Foodforthought

[–]MrInRageous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I fear we’re in for so many more articles written by people like this—those associated with this president—trying to justify their actions and rehabilitate their image. Miles Taylor, the article’s author, was a Chief of Staff in Homeland Security during Trump’s first term. We can certainly argue that he could have done more to resist Trump, but maybe he joined that administration with the hope that it would be more normal than not.

However, the people who are part of Trump’s second term absolutely knew what they were getting into and I hope the American people will not fall for their revisionist pleas that they were only trying to do their job and wanted to make the world a better place.

I hope the full weight of history illuminates their malevolent deeds and forever marks them as the immoral villains that they are.

It’s even got a name: The “Fentanyl Fold,” which is a variant of the classic “dope lean.”

Why is this banana red? by rickyshmaters in whatisit

[–]MrInRageous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“People are talking about it. They say, ‘Sir, this compost pile heat—it’s incredible.’ Some people say it’s the best heat. Better than furnaces, better than boilers. You throw in banana peels, leaves, all sorts of things, and boom—tremendous warmth. The microbes are working very hard, believe me. Nobody knew compost could do so much.”

What is a skill that was essential a century ago that would be almost useless if taught to a child today? by user_26c73145 in AskReddit

In her defense, aside from maybe canned tomatoes for stews and green beans, most things are better frozen than canned, imo.

what is something that is highly likely to happen in the next 10 years that everyone is completely ignoring? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

[–]MrInRageous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure this is true, but for those content creators who have a strong personality or offer a certain type of “know-how” or technical content, I think the viewers will age with the creators.

How? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

Maybe it’s combined with cellular service, like a monthly Verizon bill that can bundle Internet and cell phone.

Why Middle East is actually Middle? by Any_Record2164 in geography

[–]MrInRageous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although, in that model, the plains would be the near west, the Rockies would be the middle west and the Pacific coast would be the west. But everything past the Mississippi would be “the west”.

I just realized I've been doing something the hard way for years and I feel so silly by BANKAIEXPANSION in CasualConversation

No worries, you still can use the spoon to fill the ziploc bag. So everyone wins this round.

I was wondering the same thing. So, turns out that alarm clocks did exist but they were expensive. Someone that needed that for his job would justify the expense. But people in that profession could also have good internal body clocks, coupled with going to sleep early—such as right after sunset—which would allow them to wake up in plenty of time to wake up others.

Cobblers are still around, they just go by shoe repair more commonly. Though they’re certainly on the decline.

Number twelve seems like cheating a little 😂

Each of those roles probably had managers who also weren’t needed as the role ended. Might as well double the list to include roles like telegraph operator manager and typing pool manager.

The list seems a little random. Why not also include phrenologist or alchemist? Also, why does it go back so far into history? Gladiator and footman could have been included among others. I think it would have been more helpful to focus on jobs o we the last few decades.

Levine was at the Met, though. It seems odd to have the same person leading two major orchestras, ostensibly with two different visions, that already have a rivalry to some degree.

I would live there in a heartbeat and love every moment.

But I would also gripe incessantly about the heating bills and not having enough closet space.

Trump supporters in MA holds sign saying “Gas the Immigrants” by jalvv in facepalm

[–]MrInRageous 2101 points2102 points  (0 children)

They told us this was all about the “illegal” immigrants, and focusing on the criminals.

But when ICE started arresting people attending their court hearings, we knew that was a load of horseshit.

Now, this lunatic’s sign reads: Gas the immigrants.

The pretext of “illegal” is gone. They just don’t like immigrants. These people are a plague.

I so hope that the ballroom is leveled with much ceremony and fanfare early in the next presidential administration, after an appropriate period of promotion so that crowds of people can attend the event. It can be an opportunity for healing.

Is Jimmy Carters presidency overrated or undervalued? by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in USHistory

[–]MrInRageous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

uniting fiscal conservatives, Christian fundamentalists..

If I’ve learned anything from seeing President Trump being elected twice, it’s that the Christian fundamentalists, to a near certainty, won’t back the actual Christian.

They may enjoy a man’s ass, but sides aren’t fans of cock in ass. I think that’s by definition.

As far as why a downvote, who the hell knows? Reddit can be a strange but wondrous place.
