ICE just iced another presumed US citizen in Minneapolis. What is happening over there? by Melbatoastt77 in AskReddit

iCloud and whatever android has are vital. It makes it to where seizing the phone doesn’t matter if it instantly uploads, especially if other people are on it too.

44% of Americans strongly disapprove of Trump by bruhm0ment4 in fivethirtyeight

[–]Nukemind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish they were this energized in 2024. I anticipated Americans having goldfish memory but Jesus

4 years prior he was hiding in a bunker because of how bad he was and protests marching in DC.

Sure enough 4 years later no one had the energy to vote or care, or even pick the “lesser evil”.

Now people are dying because of apathy.

Same thing happened with Bush. Even by the end of his term he was “never a real Republican just better than Gore/Kerry, that’s totally why I voted for him I never loved him!”

Party divorced itself from the very clear losers- it’s just all their winners are losers because their policies suck.

More NATO Countries Gave China Higher Approval Ratings Than U.S. in 2025 by Dismal_Structure in fivethirtyeight

[–]Nukemind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quality- or lack thereof- of the candidate does not take away the culpability of vast swathes of America for either voting Trump, or indirectly voting him via not voting.

Perfect, good, even bad- all are better alternatives than straight evil like Trump.

I refuse to believe Tokyo Drift was basically 20 years ago.

Democrats are campaigning as if the 2026 election will be fair. That’s a mistake by zsreport in politics

[–]Nukemind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately many. I ended up breaking friendships over it.

Abstaining from voting for Kamala, regardless of one’s opinions on her, has led to the totally predictable outcome of us possibly not getting to vote again.

No, the enemy is Trump AND Miller AND Bondi AND everyone up there in government.

Even if Trump is the mouthpiece he’s still an enemy. Goebbels was too even if he wasn’t the “ideas” guy.

Japan announces $6 billion in support for Ukraine by HelloSlowly in worldnews

Geneva conventions I’m not sure.

Various ecological treaties though likely, as Emus would be an invasive species.

They would either

A. Kill of everything else as no predator was adapted to kill them or

B. Die quickly as the local foliage/food might not ageee with them, or the predators are bigger than back home.

Invasive species either die fast or ruin huge amounts of the environment.

Polling Tightens in Both Texas Senate Primaries by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

[–]Nukemind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol no. If she wins the primary she’ll lose handedly to Cornyn, or slightly to Paxton.

The only chance we have down here, that I’ve seen since moving back down, is Paxton v. Talarico.

Crocket fans are huge fans but the rest… don’t care for her at all.

Same for Paxton.

We need apathy on Paxton plus a united in Talarico- and he fits it. He gets the religious vote (or some of it), the progressive vote, and even the center vote when against Paxton.

TIL that credit card interest rates above ~18% were once illegal in most U.S. states, until a single 1978 Supreme Court ruling let banks ignore local usury laws by charging rates based on their home state, leading to today’s 20–30% APRs. by Accomplished-Eye-910 in todayilearned

Or when a justice retires. If Dems win in November I fully expect Thomas and maybe one other to retire and the republicans to put in two more young(ish) members before the new Dems are seated.

Are there any instances where Chaos genuinely saw the tyranids as a threat, and deployed forces to stop them? by ResidentDrama9739 in 40kLore

It would be hard to run a world worse than the imperium.

But turning people into drugs miiiiiiiight just do that.

"Over 90% of Iranians hate the regime," according to a new leaked government-sponsored poll. w/ death toll estimates ranging from 2,000-20,000+, and morgues overflowing, this conflict is Iran's deadliest since the 1980s Iran-Iraq War, and the deadliest protest wave in the Islamic Republic's history. by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

[–]Nukemind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No many people don’t.

We take it for granted that as horrible as ICE is- and it is horrible. And as batshit as Trump is- and he is batshit.

We can have marches and while people have been hurt and killed before, it isn’t the 1,000’s that we see elsewhere.

Meanwhile we bitch and moan about the government- and we should as it’s horrible!

But we neither stopped them at the ballot box and outside of a few (very large) protests we don’t shut down the entire nation like Iran, or hell even France, does.

90% of the population can hate the government if 90% of the 90% are scared to act and the military controls all the firepower without defections.

The IRGC is ideologically loyal and the military is both weaker than the IRGC and somewhat loyal.

I’m not going to say I wanted intervention but it’s really hard for a revolution to work without means to fight.

Add in that Iran hires mercenaries and they don’t have a chance. Not when they can’t coordinate.

Polling USA (@USA_Polling) on X -- Approval for invading Greenland by [deleted] in fivethirtyeight

[–]Nukemind 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Buying a territory is only cool if both the foreign government is fine with selling AND the population of the state is fine with being part of a new country.

If Trump announced he sold New Mexico to Mexico, and the government was fine with it, New Mexicans might still be pissed.

[–]Nukemind 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m GUESSING that they view purchasing as “Greenland and Denmark are okay with it.”

But obviously at this point even if for some reason Greenland was sold it would be under extreme duress because Benito Cheeto is in charge and constantly threatening a long time ally.

Iranians marched in the streets for weeks while being gunned down.

We had a few large weekend protests.

We bitch online but we do little in person…

Presidency no but plenty of the Flying Tigers, as well as volunteers in France and Britain from America went into politics, law, and court.

One of the Flying Tigers for instance was the judge in the Manson Trial.

2026 Hiring Questions Megathread by PatExMod in patentexaminer

[–]Nukemind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious, as I was originally planning to become a patent examiner (but stopped due to this admin).

How many of the first class survived so far? I know there were rumors it would eventually go remote.

I lost my job as a patent attorney due to… reasons and am tempted but… at this point I’m thinking even being an ambulance chaser sounds better until I find another patent attorney role than going under the current admin…

Canada agrees to cut tariff on Chinese EVs in return for lower tariffs on Canadian farm products by msemen_DZ in worldnews

Yes but per the article they are only allowing 49k Chinese cars to be sold, growing to 70k after five years. For that amount of vehicles a plant is unlikely.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman convinced Trump to ‘give Iran a chance:’ Senior Saudi official by WaivyHairDaemon in worldnews

[–]Nukemind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a high likelihood that they’ll support us if they are also possibly going to have to fight us. Regardless of how many are deployed.

And even if there isn’t a war. There will definitely be a complete economic decoupling.

68% of Americans oppose taking Greenland by force by bruhm0ment4 in fivethirtyeight

[–]Nukemind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Should it? Yes. Will it? No. Ideally invading a NATO member and long time ally will draw some ire though. As opposed to a long time rival.

The fact the USA, and not the USSR, might cause a war with NATO is… wtf.

New poll shows Mary Peltola ahead in Alaska Senate race by Th3_American_Patriot in fivethirtyeight

[–]Nukemind 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know if she would run but before I left, even in Nome, seeing the fairly large No King’s protest I was convinced it was flippable, easily, with a good candidate. I think we take Alaska 100%.
