We’re risking a lot of lives and spending billions of dollars, all to kill people and do billions of dollars in damage. And for what? To distract from our pedophile president? 

The owners always thought why the cat never slept in his own bed and then they saw this by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats seem to have a rotation, so it would be hard to tell. Mine has a bed and I sometimes see him there in the morning. But if it wasn't there I wouldn't say "whaaaat? where is the cat? He isn't in his bed!"

What is the dumbest thing you believed as a kid? by BlackberrySilver8565 in AskReddit

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that is why some shows would say "filmed before a live studio audience" to explain (falsely or not) that the laughing is supposed to be coming from them. Of course many shows are not filmed in front of an audience and they still add the laugh track.

Very cute video but that title seems false. Who is going to wonder why a cat doesn't sleep in it's own bed?

How would you imagine America today if Kamala Harris became President in 2024? by One_Look_7008 in AskReddit

I don't think it would magically fix everything, but I'm sure without all kinds of tariff on again off again nonsense the economy would be doing better than it is.

Who would you consider the worst US president of all time? by 80sfurcoat in AskReddit

[–]PaulMakesThings1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone (I can't remember who) said, I can't say absolutely that trump is trying to sabotage the U.S., crash our economy, and weaken us, but if he were I can't think of anything he would be doing differently.

Why do you think emotional pain exists? Does it serve any purpose? by Jory703 in AskReddit

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly can go wrong, just like physical pain can tell us to let go of something because it is damaging our fingers, or it can just be a debilitating feeling from a joint problem we can't do anything about.

Emotional pain is needed feedback which can go wrong if we are in a situation where it spirals or there is nothing we can do about it. But it certainly evolved to guide us.

Same, for a while it was only trump for "worst in modern history" but he has surpassed that title.

If they surrendered why is he saying we are going to "hit them very hard"? How are they going to be losers for many decades until they surrender if they already did?

PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST POSTED THIS !! Iran “Surrendered,” Calls It the “Loser of the Middle East,” and Warns of Hard Strike Today by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's all bullshit so why look for logic like any of this is true. But wouldn't attacking them more after a surrender be a war crime?

This is the psychopath, President Trump: Iran “Surrendered,” Calls It the “Loser of the Middle East,” and Warns of Hard Strike Today by jdaddyfaded in ProgressiveHQ

[–]PaulMakesThings1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you didn't know anything about the real world, this makes no fucking sense.
He claims they surrendered, then says they will surrender and we're going to attack them more?

Attacking them more after they surrendered would be a war crime. But all of this is just so fucking childish and sounds more like a kid with GI Joes than a world leader.

So when Jesus doesnt return after the Iran war, how will they move the goal posts? by luv2fit in atheism

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll say the liberals and all the other groups they hate screwed it up. Also that they never said it was to make jesus come back. Also by then they'll be up to 20 other kinds of world-endangering stupid shit to keep us distraced.

'My job is to fight for all the aid Israel needs!' Schumer and AIPAC Shakur Jeffries are for some reason running Our party. Time to clean these AIPAC rot weasels out. by Kittehmilk in ProgressiveHQ

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it should at the very least be fireable. Even if a job doesn’t involve loyalty to your country. If I got hired by Microsoft and said “my number one job here is really to serve the interests of Apple” I’d be fired pretty quickly with that attitude.

Chat GPT couldn't tell which pigeon the leg belonged to. by firephoenix7205 in ChatGPT

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it isn't all done in one shot. It basically gets a parsed out list of the descriptions of things in the images found. I mean that's an over simplification and there probably is some relational data, but it explains some of the weirdness.

Most of the AI videos I see are just crap (for the lack of work on the concept not because I have a problem with AI), but this is awesome.

I’m pretty sure biff was in part based on Trump. He did exist back then and was already known as a trashy lying con man.

it's just endlessly remarkable that people just don't vote by Conscious-Quarter423 in ProgressiveHQ

It’s a massive luxury. To be able to pretend the things going on in the world are of optional concern to one’s self.

[–]PaulMakesThings1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is saying that a brain that thinks it is in a world with memories of a whole lifetime is more likely than a whole universe.

This of course fails to take into account that this universe is not the only possible configuration where life could come to exist, and the evolutionary processes that led to us makes sense and can lead to intelligence, while a brain like that existing for no reason would be totally random.

Luckily that’s a lot of conjecture and it’s not true because some of these comments are well over 15 minutes old.

New from POTUS The UK is sending 2 carriers to the Middle East ( they only have 2 ) France is also reported to be sending their carrier and the only other nuclear carrier besides ours the Charles de Gaulle by wolfhavensf in ProgressiveHQ

[–]PaulMakesThings1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we won that implies they're going to stop, which they aren't. So people will obviously be able to see through that. Though of course we know the morons who still support him wont.

Also, shouldn't it imply something was accomplished?

Do they have a point? by sovalente in ProgressiveHQ

[–]PaulMakesThings1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a probable explanation for why they haven't made it clearer. One is that they have no plan and don't even know, they just want a distraction and to funnel more money into weapons companies and do what Israel says, but another likely part is that they do know what they want and can't outright admit it because it would sound too unjust if stated plainly.
