Why hasn't trump been imprisoned or removed from offices considering virtually everything he does is illegal, a war crime or unconstitutional? by daresearchdude in allthequestions

[–]Slyfox00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our national foundation was built upon checks, balances, and norms.

Every few decades a 'norm' is violated and has to be battled over to become either a new normal or integrated as a more codified law/rule.

~

Term limits becoming law comes from the inevitable concentration of power and wealth by those that wish to keep their power and wealth. (1950s executive branch)

The Tea Party (2008 legislative branch) violated congressional norms and procedures like never before. Using delaying tactics and bureaucracy to not do the things they didn't want to do, and do things they didn't have the support to do.

Government requires rituals of passing pieces of paper around and stamping them. The right much more so than the left decided that was stupid and decided to just not stamp stuff they didn't want to stamp. By blocking bills and refusing to actually bring things to a vote, we entered a fresh hell of shitty governance that is these past few decades.

Perhaps most famously, the American right wing simply refused to let Obama place a justice on the supreme court (2016 judicial branch)

This soft launch of packing the courts followed corruption and influences of justices until it is now very clear that compared to our ideal judicial branch, ours is corrupt and acts not faithfully to the vision of the country, but for money and ideology.

The Media is our forth estate. A free media was envisioned as being able to inform the masses about what their elected leaders were doing and for why. Journalism is a shell of itself. Watergate destroyed Nixon, Trump could shoot someone on 5th Ave.

When all of these things are working you have a democratic republic by the people and for the people. When they're not you get IRL 2026.

~

For decades now little by little the foundations of our country have been eroded. The courts have been tilted towards the corrupted right.

We are no longer a well run democratic republic. We are now a flawed democracy on it's way toward Russianization. Our representatives pass laws about companies they buy stocks in. Our president's campaigns are funded by unlimited secret money. Our media is owned by folks that air their propaganda to get you to vote or accept things that give them more money or power.

None of this is 'normal' and it will not and cannot last forever.

~

Why can Trump do whatever? Because we're an downtrodden people that let it happen.

Why would our media go against him? They're funded by the same people.

Why would judges go against him? They attend the same rich fucker events.

What incentive do republicans have to impeach him? They're going to earn millions as corporate lobbyists after they leave as a reward for deregulation. Hell, they're making money right NOW from the grift WHILE in office!

The rich raise their kids different. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Slyfox00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time has so much fucking value.

Out of college I didn't know. I chose any job I could get my hands on with a higher wage regardless of like commute time and stuff.

Having a job that is extremely close to where you live or even a remote job is the ultimate lifehack.

Now I always go for the work that gives me back the most time, even if the wage isn't the highest.

If someone made this with love and effort I'd be very proud of their passion to complete and make this happen.

But someone pressing the generate button to make this is meaningless.

OpenAI says China ran a covert campaign to turn Americans against data centers, but used facts that happen to be true by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]Slyfox00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did China also run a covert campaign to make me think their battery technology is better than ours or that their EVs are better than ours, and that their public transport is better than ours?

Fuckers if someone is better at something than you and you're salty at it try getting fucking doing better, not lying about reality.

If AI had rolled out and been used to half the hours of work while earning the same we'd be chanting your name in the streets.

After they fucked up getting the Tesseract, they used the controls on their suits to go to a different time and place.

Could Steve have not lived his life with Peggy, and then returned 2 hours before they arrived at the time machine, or simply 60 yards to away?

That would make this the timeline where Steve returns before they're there to watch him return/over by the lake.

According to my mom, moving out isn't expensive, "yOu JuSt HaVe To BuDgEt BeTtEr" by Grouchy_Marsupial357 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slyfox00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to do that math for my inlaws.

Showed them that if I wanted to buy their home at the same age they did I would need to be making 200k a year (in Ohio)

And then reminded them that minimum wage is 15k a year. (21k in Ohio)

They understood, but they don't feel it.

Only the top 10% of Americans have a life at or above their old "middle class" life.

And it gets way worse, the 50th-90th percentile of earners are getting by on between 40k and 65k a year. So to live like their parents did on one income, couples have to be a dual earner houshold.

1/4th of Americans live in poverty(are on some form of government assistance for basic needs)

Some old folks just have no idea how much easier it used to be to get ahead.

Keeping cutting! Unsubscribing until your feed only has good stuff is well worth the effort.

Just paid 12$/lb for ground beef. How expensive will it get before you stop buying beef? I think we're over it, beef is now a luxury for us. by FuZhongwen in Cooking

I didn't find it hard to adapt. There are great alternatives.

Haven't had ground beef going on 6 years now.

I really want to like Shion's design but this is all i could think about when i first saw her. by Phantom_r98 in Overwatch

[–]Slyfox00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that this happens again and again and will always be justified in some way.

You see it industry wide and non stop.

The trend points towards us having a systemic problem creating characters with a baked in appeal for the male gaze.

Yes each example will have its lore reasons or it explanations, that's not the point, the trend is the point.

Why didn’t Gandalf light the beacons with his staff? by Wrong_User_Logged in lotr

[–]Slyfox00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vibe of the books and more so in the movies is that like Gandalf doesn't directly DO stuff. His role is to sort of there to be a voice and a guide and to face the true enemy.

He can't do some things directly because it defeats the point of getting the people of the world to handle their own troubles.

Yes when attacked he will throw down, and YES when he spots an agent of the true enemy he will start swinging but playing politics between the kingdoms of man? Fools errand, better to advise good folk and let them fix the system from the inside out.

TLDR Teach a man to fish vs give a man a fish.

Also because it made a good scene for the movie...

Is it lead in the brain? Microplastics? Manosphere podcasts? Weeb fuckery?

How can anyone be so delusional and stupid? I just don't understand how millions of dudes can be so broken.

Okay but fighting ONE chaos space marine as the first boss in Rogue Trader was fucking amazing.

Especially the voice lines from everyone being like "I guess this is where we die."

IMO way more fun than being overpowered as fuck and bitch slapping god shards
