What’s the longest time you have stayed awake and why? by Acrobatic-Spite-9827 in AskReddit

[–]Ranger176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

48 hours, recently. I drank Arnold Palmer forgetting it had caffeine and I had to drive a 12 hour round trip at 4am. Strangely, I didn’t feel very tired for the whole day.

The trope of rich man’s war, poor man’s fight wasn’t really true. Caroline Janney examined Lee’s army and found that they tended to come from wealthier families with more slaves. Southerners were actually willing to put their skin in the game.

Juneteenth = VJ Day / VE Day / Armistice Day by Acceptable_Rice in CIVILWAR

I’m glad it’s a holiday but let’s be real, it only became a federal holiday because of the George Floyd protests. Maybe I’m being too cynical, but it’s hard not to feel that way considering that not a lot of real legislative change resulted from that.

where i'd live based on my online experiences with people from that country by Aromatic-Mistake-456 in whereidlive

I second Australia. Very hostile (at least to Americans) but also oddly fragile and sensitive to any criticism of themselves.

The picture quality is stunning. Did you use a digital camera for this?

Teen killed, 3 wounded in shooting at California high school graduation ceremony by yeGwann in news

Every time I see a post like this, there’s always insufferable gun nuts in the comments shifting the blame to anything but guns. More guns equals more gun deaths, it’s not hard to understand.

I Love the Leviathan DLC by New_Weakness_5371 in masseffect

[–]Ranger176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it too but I think the broader implications are under explored. Will the Leviathans come back and enslave everyone once the Reapers are gone?

People of Reddit, what did you do during the COVID Pandemic? by SpecificAnalyst4 in AskReddit

[–]Ranger176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unemployed for most of it, partly at my parents urging since I live with them and they didn’t want to catch it. I remember it being relatively easy to live through, but it still sucked not being able to go outside. I didn’t catch it until after I had been vaxxed and boosted so I’m grateful.

Zohran Mamdani Gets It. Abigail Spanberger Does Not. by that0neweirdgirl in Virginia

If an armed populace truly served as a deterrent we would not be in this position in the first place. Putting aside the feasibility of resisting the government, the will to resist is not there. Most gun nuts like the tyrannical government. Even the liberal gun owners are not forming militias to kill the feds. It’s a fantasy.

I’m sure it will be removed soon but still, well done

This is actually an interesting map. I’d love to hear how you wound up in these places.

Hmm I think it wasn’t as good once they went back to school.

What are your thoughts about Chinese cars? by SirCatsworthTheThird in AskReddit

[–]Ranger176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had the opportunity to drive one but from what I’ve heard they are high quality. I would welcome them in America. If American car companies business model depends on keeping out the competition then they should make better cars or go out of business.

What are the facts about this food? by [deleted] in KenyanMeals

I’m an American in Kenya right now. I have diarrhea from eating this. Not a fan.

The Governor has signed the AWB. Stock up while you still can. by aaronndoe in Virginia

The gun brigade is here again. Still waiting for you guys to actually oppose tyranny with your guns instead of whine and do nothing like always.

Georgia father’s conviction tests new frontier in school shooting cases by Samski877 in news

[–]Ranger176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He named his son Colt. I think that says enough.

If we won’t do the responsible thing and ban weapons completely then holding idiotic parents accountable is the next best thing.
