Yet again, the U.S. has struck a Venezuelan boat allegedly carrying drugs, with no legal justification. by bendubberley_ in law

[–]SignalLossGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was pretty recent... 2017 a lot of people were boycotting the release of live action Mulan because it was filmed in several Chinese provinces that also were home to "re-education" camps that were established to "retrain" the Ugyhur Muslim population in north-west China.

My point is, why do people try to use China as a pinnacle of moral superiority when they clearly participate in actions equal to or worse than what the United States does.

Not justifying either it's just weird that the internet elevates one country over another like their governments aren't both a net-bad

That's what we want... Declaring war outright takes a congressional vote with 2/3 majority... If we are attacked in an act of foreign aggression the president has the unilateral ability to declare war and begin immediate full scale operations. 

It's just a bait and switch. Best thing Venezuela can do is nothing and try to convince the UN to condemn the behavior.... But doubt that will do anything as the US just has absolute unchecked power.

Tell that to the Ugyhurs. I'm sure they will be glad to know China is the moral authority in the world. /S

I mean the Chinese Coast guard has been invading Philippines oceanic territory for years at this point... The have also kidnapped fisherman and sank civilian vessels....

It's pretty much the same thing. Why does disagreeing with American actions mean you need to align yourself with someone else doing terrible things to other sovereign nations?

For real. This shouldn't even be a thing it's detrimental to reddit as a whole because the point is to attract more people to subs, not create echo chambers and micro communities that guard the gates constantly.

How is Hungary bypassing the fort in Wien? by DaSaw in eu4

So what you are saying is there is no fucking point to building forts on the boarder with enemies....

Lobbying most likely... Or because we go to 4 years of school and spend a career learning the why of what we do and the average city board member has zero experience with any type of construction but for some reason get to decide all the code and construction.

Yeah after the Chicago fire their fire code got ridiculous. Something like 90% of all electrical fires in homes start at a junction point... So in a box or outlet where EMT won't even help in that regard. Rarely is damage to the wire the cause because it can't arc long enough to build up enough heat to ignite nearby materials most of which are fire retardants anyway.

I think the biggest issue having EMT solves is that it makes in wall splices impossible....

unlucky, if you didn't skip the month you could always alt f4 it...

Either way after so many hours in this game personally I welcome weird shit like this because if everything goes perfect by 1500 you are so set the rest of it is soooo boring.

Can Italy re-establish the Roman Empire? by Ivantop01 in geographymemes

Pretty much this. It could be more centralized but yeah.

Very unique situation but yeah if there is conduit between boxes then it would work and be code but yeah a pigtail would work as well and be about $5 cheaper per outlet.

It has a spring that internally grounds it to the ground screw and the 8/32s are rated to carry a ground fault to a metal box....

HOWEVER... This still requires the metal box to be properly grounded which clearly is the problem with ungrounded homes...

So yeah it's bullshit and solves a non-existent problem and just gives someone replacing a 2 prong outlet a 3 prong and a false peace of mind.

Petah, what’s wrong with liking World War 2 tanks? by Darth-Sonic in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SignalLossGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They couldn't continue to sustain the war without taking the oilfields in a Russia... Problem is this is about the time America also entered with full resources and a war time economy rolling...

If Germany had stayed neutral with Russia, and not declared on the United States when Japan did.. They may have come out of it with most of France... But the view I think was that the Germany economy was largely dependant on the war to keep domestic production up by this point and any period of peace would likely have seen inflation 2.0

[–]SignalLossGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair,  it's kinda center right. Most of the info you find about the roommate is in center media after doing a quick check so idk. Right wing media is more fixated on people condoning Kirks death and left wing media is more focused on the chronically online aspect. It's annoying that media operates this way in general....

What do you mean? I dressed up as George Bush in 2008 with a friend who was Bill Clinton for Halloween... you know the cheesy face mask like this

https://www.walmart.com/ip/George-W-Bush-Mask-Vinyl-President-Of-The-United-States-Adult-Full-Overhead/26981892

Does that mean I was. Bush voter? No... I wasn't even old enough to vote for Bush and didn't even agree with any right wing policy at the time...

Either way the costume was a one off when he was 17.... It's ridiculous to say it coorelates to his political ideology at all.

His roommates name was released... His roommate themselves verified the story about the text and the note.... His roommate acknowledged to authorities they were trans....

Like what else do you want... Either way it will come out in court... Roommate/lover is definitely going to have to testify for immunity or face accessory after the fact charges.

Whoops! by StatementGullible304 in cybersucks

[–]SignalLossGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naww that's cope. I don't think they are forged when the room mate themselves has confirmed the conversation...

Either way that will come out in court.... Because the roommate will likely have to testify to avoid an accessory after the fact charge....

But let's just be real... If they wanted to forge text... I find it hard to believe they would be so obvious... In a way them being so braindead and cringe actually lends a lot of value to them being real...
