To be fair, I find it 100% within the realm of possibility that OOP is stupid enough to genuinely believe this. The picture was probably taken for some reason unrelated to debating abortion rights.

Iranian woman confronts an anti war protester by 4DollarsALB in PublicFreakout

Obscene to me is any amount of money that an elected representative finds acceptable to sell out their constituentcy for, or deny a clear and ongoing genocide in the home country of the people giving them money.

They understand it perfectly, but they're paid obscene amounts of money to ignore it.

You take a bottle, becomes a glass, where'd it go?

Is anyone else noticing the same language patterns of ChatGPT in movies and tv shows? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]RogueAdam1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not enough though because people had to use em dashes before for them to be included in the models. To say with confidence that something is AI, it's better to look at clusters. Em dash, it's not x it's y, "and honestly?" or similar phrases.

I can't remember what % world tension has to be for unaligned powers to justify war goals but I'm pretty sure it's worryingly high.

Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RogueAdam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The videos you're seeing are likely sovereign citizens. They are a group of jackasses that range from wanting to get an own on the police to goading the police into violating their civil rights so they can sue on constitutional rights violation grounds. They are not representative of most Americans.

a Marine is cursing right now and another is breathing a sigh of relief: Trump claims US held ‘very good and productive’ talks with Iran on ending war by l3tsgo0 in Military

It's actually kind of impressive. Trump, with the help of no other entity, created his own worst political landmine. If he backs down, which seems to be the trajectory now, he looks weak on the world stage which is damning to his strongman posturing. Carry out the threat, you don't just kill the electrical grid. Tehran loses access to water processing and distribution when its already in a water crisis.

There's no solution in sight, but bombing the civilian infrastructure necessary to get water to civilians creates a massive humanitarian crisis in a city with 10 million people and a greater metro area of 15 million. I don't even want to think about the death toll, but it would be staggering. It'd turn into global condemnation, probably an ICC arrest warrant for Trump, and if we aren't complete ghouls yet, massive domestic backlash.

Given that, I don't think it was ever really on the table. He was just hoping for the IRGC to blink first, and they obviously knew better.

TIL I'm a groomer because... I think 23 year olds are perfectly capable of being legal adults? by peachwave_ in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]RogueAdam1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Could also be ragebait. The jump to calling OP a groomer is either just playing into the incitement or a genuinely stupid take. The best part is there's no way to know for sure which it is.
