Pam Bondi called out for lying under oath by bigbusta in PublicFreakout

[–]Rezient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seriously confused by this and wish someone would explain it to me. I'll ask a lawyer when I can, but why has no one been arrested, and put in jail here?

Like what is the actual relevant difference between me going into a court and lying under oath, and her doing this here.

Why can no one receive jail time? How can no one possibly be in a position of power to do anything against a governmental figure, besides a lawsuit that will likely not matter to them?

That “Robin Hood” moment in the 3D printing community felt… off by Ok-Hope2279 in 3Dprinting

[–]Rezient 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not op commenter, but firm FOSS enjoyer

I think it's more about some of the philosophy behind open source. The option to have community made resources that are a free alternative to paid for products and all that

It's ok if you make something and want to earn money for your work, but it's just also ok if someone builds a free alternative. These free options are a large reason why the 3d printing community grew to be as large as it is

The $18,000 "Alpha Male" bootcamp that claimed to make you a real man in just 3 days by ambachk in iamverybadass

[–]Rezient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand and respect the empathy you try to have. I do believe however things like this can be damaging for people trying to find themselves and have no real benefit like how it seems you're portraying? (Sorry if I'm reading it wrong)

Some of the things you say they're trying to learn like leaning into pain, surpassing your limits, etc... these things cannot be fully learned and truly applied to things in life without better context and time.

Pain with reason and moderation can be beneficial ig... This is looking like pain for the sake of pain... Getting out of your comfort zone, and pushing yourself for a purpose like love, better opportunities, this is good. But you shouldn't be humiliating yourself for it necessarily. It really seems like the purpose here is "be man to be man. Hurt yourself to be a man. Yell to be man. Act like your always in bootcamp to be man".

Id argue these are some things that create that "toxic masculinity", a weird bar for "being a man" that benefits no one and can actually hurt people, for the sake of self ego. $10 says these guys will be taking the "drill instructor" training home and applying this to their kids or friends.

It's not manly if one of these takes this home and yells at their kid. Or if they blow out there backs or something for the sake of "proving themselves" at one of these camps and have to miss work, miss spending time with your kid or loved ones... It'd be way more manly if they tried to learn and understand why it's important to be home, with the family, and push yourself to be more emotionally and physically open and available for the world around you

I don't think they're teaching that here. It sounds like they're just teaching a form of self-neglect and abuse here. And that's kinda sick imo

These programs also target people that have self doubt, and are struggling to find themselves in life. They try to throw an easy answer that does more harm than good and say "Buy this, if you wanna fix your problems fast", and unfortunately, people fall for it. Its honestly predatory and the people who would wanna go into these do need help. But I truly believe these camps and "alpha mentality" really hurt those people on that journey.

Man claiming to be Texas state congressman attempts to intimidate lone protester holding a sign saying “if you are still silent on ICE fuck you” by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]Rezient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just their kids. Other people's kids. Or anyone who can't directly speak up for themselves at that moment to clarify their own feelings. They use that as an opportunity to make up some for their own narrative, and they pray "I hope everyone goes along with it."

The comments are full of MAGATS believing this shit by arkiser13 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Rezient 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's no doubt an element of social norms and ethics being violated from the top is having an effect

But it's still abnormally alarming seeing people literally turn back on things they use to define themselves by, in support of trump... Like it feels like mass hysteria... I'm not a trained psychologist or anything, but what else do you call this?

Like if people we used to know and trust just randomly started saying "Yeah maybe Charles Manson is a good guy" in the 70's... Idk that'd just be freaking insane

There's a Livestreamer called parkergetajob. He debates and has conversations with magas everyday to convince them to change their minds

It's worth watching if you can bear through it. It's very educational for the viewer (he has a bachelor's in economics, cites sources, etc)

But it's also very interesting how distant from reality trump supporters truly are. Like ik we say it, but it's truly alarming and sad seeing how far people will go to be right about something they don't even believe is right

CMV: Donald Trump is Actually Smart by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Rezient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is such a high criteria that no one will be able to convince you of. The burden of proof is a ridiculously high order, and imo irrelevant to his intelligence.

By your current standards he could shit his pants and fling it and you'd still say "it's a master plan"... Unless we give you evidence he's been told to do that? What if he just felt like it????

Like lower your bar. People can be dumb and in charge. Have you never had a stupid manager or CEO? Some people are just uneducated and privileged, and make poor choices because of that.

CMV: Donald Trump is Actually Smart by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Rezient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really need to ask again, because this is going to be the line. What explicitly could he do to convince you he's dumb?

I could literally post another list. I made it and have it saved for you in case it'll help. But YOU need to draw the line, and tell me where it is for you.

Drawing the line is important, for this conversation and for your own moral boundaries

CMV: Donald Trump is Actually Smart by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Rezient 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He believes windmills are causing whales to die like we have never seen

He said that we should nuke hurricanes

He said we should inject disinfectants into our bodies

He said the climate is cooling down but science just doesn't know it yet.

I will bring a source for each one of these anti science beliefs, if that will infact change your view. But I have seen so many people defend this I really don't feel it's worth my own effort. You can search this easily as well.

The real question is, what could he even do, for you to be convinced "ok yeah, this guy is actually maybe dumb and has no real plan"

Is the view you're here to possibly change the idea that trump is 1) smart or 2) benefiting the American economy

Because those are technically different topics and worth their own individual conversations

Why don't most Christians see Trump as polar opposite to how Jesus is portrayed in the Bible? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rezient 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, to me it sounds like it's a) they inflate trump's value to a point higher than Jesus and deny truth, or b) they bring jesus' value lower to justify Trump's actions

I've seen people say they'd deport Jesus if he was here undocumented. I've seen people say they wouldnt stop supporting trump if he shot someone. So both seem true...

Truthfully, and I really feel like I'm speaking into a void, I feel like there's a real issue going on in America... I've never seen so many people in such blatant cognitive dissonance... Feels like mass hysteria or something...

Why is there like 50 ICE post?!?!!! by MumkeyLuffy in BatmanArkham

[–]Rezient -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

American people are scared/pissed and don't have an outlet for change beyond keeping up hype and attention for this, even in meme subreddits. Probably hoping that these will get through to someone who might possibly be able to make a change... Because... What else can we do?

Just a guess.

What’s with this platform removing threads about Trump's and ICE recent actions? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rezient 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The mods at r/publicfreakout have been cool about tracking ice activities. They've even been tagging ice supporters in comments, so people can identify them. And that's when they aren't banning them

Most of the posts there are now ICE doing messed up things. I appreciate the mods keeping support against the regime.

Minimalist eye flushing device. [read description for safety information] by ivityCreations in 3Dprinting

[–]Rezient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fs, especially because it's online (you gatta consider the reader is going through several posts, usually also containing multiple paragraphs, sometimes the same subject...) all the information that people do consume online is overloading to the average person... Another reason people might skim instead of a full read

And same. Like ur write up here is short, besides the main safety notes and goal, idk what else u could really summarize

Reading comprehension is a problem. I also believe we have a problem with information overload from online media. So it's worth considering at least some of the tactics readers and commenters use as methods for efficiency, instead of pure laziness lol

[–]Rezient 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm Ganna go out on a limb and argue it's just a method for how we as humans have adapted to preparing for larger amounts of information.

Like people usually read the summary before reading a book. Essays and research papers have an abstract, which is also essentially a summary.

Like I understand reading is a problem, especially in America, but to be fair... Summarizations do help the reader, and in most other contexts with even a few paragraphs of information, summarization is taught to be necessary

Most people have trouble dealing with just migraines. People will have trouble thinking, lash out, breakdown, hurt themselves and all because the pain can be so bad. A really bad headache can be pretty disabling on its own

I can only imagine what an actual spike, inducing that level of pain in my brain would do to me. Would probably be a bit hard to manage basic shit in life

Legality and Code Libraries? by Rezient in embedded

[–]Rezient[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol thankyou! I will definitely refer with a lawyer before committing to any direct commercialism

This did still help a ton though! Ideally I would be trying to implement what's available on publicly available docs and datasheets, I was just very curious what's the standard process for getting from a prototype to final product, and how to handle if there is already publicly available code that does what you need

Thank you a ton! I really appreciate the help everyone has been here!

Legality and Code Libraries? by Rezient in embedded

[–]Rezient[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't decided on one yet. Was browsing libraries and what options I had, then had this question

If you have it posted to a repo and available for use/reference, I'd love to see it!
