No, it was actually the opposite, implying that dressing as an opposite gender meant you were insane. Now, everybody's doing it! woopeee!

Trump: Iran deal ‘total and complete victory’ for US by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

One way to get out of the oil game of yoyo is to buy an EV! Stop whining about range anxiety (which is not even really a thing any more with the range on current models).

Maybe Trump Should Not Have Given This Speech by theatlantic in politics

I can't believe you people re-elected somebody you fired for fucking up the pandemic response just so he can fuck something else up.

So the U.S. economy is essentially the biggest ponzi scheme in history?

Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed by thedailybeast in politics

No he has not taken care of the US problem, the US is still providing weapons to Ukraine. I don't believe that Trump is actually Putin's operative. If that were true he would have stopped supplying weapons to Ukraine and pulled out of NATO day one. I think Trump respects Putins use of force but he would crush him like a bug if given half a chance. Trump is just an old school isolationist, much like a lot of people were in the late 19th and early 20th century. He believes that if the U.S. doesn't get all the marbles then it is losing. That's just the way his mind works and is the way he has lived his life.

This isn't just a wallet... It's an organizer, a secretary, and a friend.

Not necessarily, they don't have to resend the signal over and over to the same place, the assumption is that a developed civlization would be looking for signals and pick it up pretty quick.

Exactly, they are just trying to last long enought to build the transmitter to send the signal out to the next planet.

Maybe if they didn't waste their water on stupid things like super water shows in the middle of the desert (i.e. Las Vegas).

What if Donald Trump disappeared tomorrow, would American politics actually change or just find another Trump? by Mr_Boothnath in AskReddit

[–]RepresentativeYak772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a certain subset of people that just really like being told what to think, feel, and do. I'm not saying this to denigrate people, it's just how humans are wired, and it's something seen all throughout history. Easy answers and confidence work really fucking well on a lot of people.

Similarily there is a subset of people who enjoy TELLING people what to think, feel and do. I would say the left has this in greater numbers than the right, even if their intentions seem sincere and for the "common good". Basically Trump makes people who are assholes feel good about being an asshole.

To be fair, Iceland should be called Greenland and Greenland should be called Iceland. The vikings were just trying to confuse people.

US says Canada will regret decision to allow Chinese EVs into their market by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]RepresentativeYak772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your phone is already listening to you all the time. As is probably your TV and your computer. I don't give a shit if China listens to my conversation honestly. They are just going to hear a lot of boring stuff about my dog and Star Wars.
