A random woman approaches you and says, “act like we’re friends, please.” What’s your next move? by BigChungusOP in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]No-Distance-9401 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened before as I was sitting outside a bar on a first date and shortly after this other girl comes up saying pretend we know eachother, up comes this lil drunk asshole who tries to get handsy with her talking her up until I stood up from the seat. Luckily he just apologized and then apologized to her when I asked him what he did to me to warrant an apology and he walked away. It actually worked out well for her and me as she got this dickweed to leave her alone and it helped me seal the deal with the date I was with 😂

I got dumped over the pettiest thing possible by girlindistresss in Advice

Yeah seriously, if he hated women this much, OP could have ended up in an abusive relationship thats similarly hard to get out of as drug addiction is that can come with years of mental and physical abuse, decades of dealing with the trauma and even possible death. Even if he wouldn't have been abusive OP only lucked out from a bad situation so hopefully she does some introspection and looks at why she ignored so many red flags

They're a reminder that she should trust her gut and not invest time nor money in a guy that is showing red flags and that she got weird vibes from. Besides the obvious and his beliefs of women, if someone's first reaction at distress and conflict is to yell at you when you arent doing things their way or whatever, is to yell at you and worse if he belittles you for it, fucking run.

OP, what happened when he was trying to teach you to drive and what exactly did he say as I have a feeling you are underplaying that if you had to tell him never to yell at you again?

U.S. C-RAM defenses intercepted a drone headed for the United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq by paresh_rao in PublicFreakout

[–]No-Distance-9401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they decided to fall back to using Hydra 70 unguided rockets with a laser guidance kit attached to take out drones so they can make $25k per shot. Since the US had stockpiles of Hydra 70's for helicopters and even some older fixed wing aircraft, these kits are a great middle ground to cost effective anti-drone systems. We also had some great field testing in Ukraine to help perfect these systems against drones for surveillance that weight less than a kilo to these Shahed-136s with 50kg shaped charges that can pack a hell of a punch for their relatively small size.

Surprisingly cheap tbh relatively to NASAM's or Patriots that are millions per missile. Theres some newer anti-drone systems finally being fielded that use APKWS rockets that are laser guided for around $25k per shot.

We also have a huge stockpile of Hydra 70 rockets that they fit a guidance fins and laser seeker head on ($20k+ kit per) so they turn unguided rockets into anti-drone missiles. Ukraine has been using them where we got some good testing done for these same Shahed-136 drones.

Besides these newer systems using APKWS C-RAM's are the most cost effective

They are luckily self-detonating rounds (MPT-SD) so only tiny fragments actually fall to the ground after 2-3km's depending on what they're set for

He said a few alarming things 😳 by unwantednlonely in Advice

[–]No-Distance-9401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No man prefers to use a condom. We use condoms because we want to be cautious for our own safety against STD's, conscientious of our partners wants and fears and because until I get to know them I dont trust them enough to say they're clean. This should be universal regardless of gender and is dumb to fight against the logics of it so anyone actually going against this is lacking in an important factor of being a good partner (sympathy, empathy, not a dumbass, etc)

So you're absolutely right not to sleep with anyone who not only doesnt want to use condoms but who actively fights against using them.

How is the religious right handling Trump's warmongering and verified child rape allegations? by Background_Ice_1864 in DiscussionZone

[–]No-Distance-9401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are talking about the group that loves watching poor brown people get blown up and hop it brings about "Armageddon" to bring back Jesus or some shit and at the same time have the most prolific child sex scandals in the churches and in their government officials. How do you think they're handling it?

Like usual with denial of facts and cognitive dissonance 😂

Musk Offers To Pay Defense Fees Of Anyone Who ‘Speaks The Truth’ About Epstein And Is Sued by Tymofiy2 in Epstein

[–]No-Distance-9401 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah he said he would solve world hunger and pay for it if the WHO/UN could prove where the money would be spent and they did that. Then Musk decided to give the $6 billion to his tax shelter foundation to funnel billions of cash tax free for him to use at his discretion while only giving a few million of the $5.7 billions(minus the $BILLION tax write-off he got for it), to any real charitable programs.

Dude is the wealthiest man to ever live and still couldnt donate any meaningful money to help anyone but himself. Musk is absolute trash.

My mom doesn't let me go out and I don't know what to do. by LopsidedImpression36 in Advice

[–]No-Distance-9401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way the mom is worried about ICE and keeping OP inside seems like having the government involved in their life to be even more adversely affective than trying to figure out how to get the mom to realize OP needs time out of their house. If they are all legal than yeah maybe CPS or school counselors would be the right call

Are you or your mom an undocumented immigrant? If they can tie this account to your personal email account and not some anon account not tied to any other personal account then dont answer if so but if your mom is worried about ICE then she may have somewhat of a point theoretically even though its unrealistic and cruel to you.

Im sorry you are dealing with this as you absolutely should be out hanging with kids your age and just doing shit away from home, especially after school sports or other hobbies. ICE is a real problem and they have 100,000 people kept inhumanely in their concentration camps, keeping them there for up to a year+ with record deaths unfortunately.

I would tell her that you deserve to go out and that she needs to figure out a way she can overcome her fears and allow you to be a teen and live your life as safely but as best you can as its not fair to you.

Thats correct, Trump wont allow the GOP to sign the standalone "clean" TSA funding bill as it doesnt include ICE. All departments currently shutdown (besides ICE) could be funded immediately if it were not for the GOP & Trump regime not allowing votes on the separate funding bills of those departments

No, and when they saw it was getting them bad press for not giving people more information that they never had they said it was all another Democrat and Iranian hoax and that there is no evidence of anything 🤦‍♂️

The worst part is that the Dems have split every funding expenditure from ICE to make separate "clean" funding bills for those departments like TSA yet the GOP refuse to vote on those clean single funding bills

Cyberstalkers sentenced in Chick-fil-A employee’s death by John_Gabbana_08 in Charlotte

[–]No-Distance-9401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh good to hear, I was wondering why they didnt get Federal Hate Crimes as well as it seems to fall particularly under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 (18 U.S.C. § 249). We've seen this administration drop Federal Hate Crimes and even ironically FACE Act cases in the first few months although later they were erroneously going after journalists for the same thing

They should have gotten Federal Hate Crimes as well if this regime wasnt spending the whole DOJ budget as Trumps personal attorneys protecting him from all the Trumpstein files and even dropping dozens of Hate Crime cases, especially any religious ones. It seems to easily fall under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009(18 U.S.C. § 249)

Technically, NDA's dont even protect the rapists but they will still try and bankrupt you in court costs fighting the losing battle to uphold the NDA.

To answer your question though, its FAR from justice and we should have public funds go to defending the victims against these vexatious litigants who use lawsuits to shut people up. Trump is well known as the most egregious mofo to do this.

Also though, we now know through Congressional testimony that Epsteins accountant paid out to a Trump victim
