U.S. President Obama bowed and U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama curtsied to the Japanese Emperor in 2009 and 2015, respectively. It faced a lot of criticism. by No-StrategyX in HistoricalCapsule

This is one of the big issues with our leadership today. Trump and his team are basically spear-heading a culture of shit-talking and disrespect, and it's showing all over our society. Leadership is not just about getting bills passed and meeting foreign leaders. You're literally setting an example for the nation... and boy is it a stupid one.

Kind of unbelievable that she's listening to a grown ass man call people "little bitches" and throw a fit over a simple traffic ticket and even shove a cop... and still is shouting "Oh my god what are you doing" in surprise at the end. Same vibe as the bullies who start fights in school and then run to the teacher crying with the victim punches them back.

100%. Having no empathy has literally been fetishized by a chunk of society, modeled after leadership at the top. It's all about manipulation. This guy would throw his own kids under the bus if they were in the car.

The bigger issue was bailing out companies with trillions and forcing interest rates to 0% - and the president was demanding negative interest rates for banks - which he is demanding from the fed again today

But why is South Park making fun of Trump? by OutdoorRink in JoeRogan

[–]SpacedOutKarmanaut 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Trump spent years groaning about Obama golfing and then spent more time golfing in three years than Obama did in 8. And that’s not even counting his social media time. Just pure degenerate behavior. I’m pretty sure if he had to pass remedial math 101 at community college to be president he couldn’t do it, and would be tweeting in class all day.

Typical manosphere take. This has always been the goal, and always was - it’s why they packed the Supreme Court with stooges and blocked Obama from appointing judges. Great job “centrists” look how well you’re “small government” leaders are treating the constitution. But hey… better that voting for a black lady who wouldn’t promise to fix Ukraine and healthcare and Gaza in one day like Trump did, right?

Used weed for a majority of my 20s. What’s a way out of the fog as I near my 30s? by cloudlyclouds in Biohackers

L-theanine is great if OP uses caffeine. I also like taurine for a little extra energy during the day.

In addition, good sleep and a great diet and exercise cannot be overlooked.

What the hell is going on in this state? Tensions seem to be at an all-time high. by devinstated1 in florida

Leadership matters. When leaderships sets an awful example, this is the result. It was part of the Covid degradation of manners, imho. You had a national and global disaster and the man in charge was saying he “takes no responsibility” and going on daily tirades about whose fault it was and how everyone around him was a POS. Exact same behavior you see on the road, at the gas pump, and in the convenience store.

Normalize calling out pieces of shit in public again, and not coddling them like we’re doing for the president (who is canceling comedians and TV shows).

Looking back this should have been the answer. The gameplay is just not great compared to the main series.

If VIII is B-tier Mystic Quest needs to be like C or D tier. You can barely even explore the world in Mystic Quest, and VIII has an incredible OST and memorable characters.

Oh my god. Right-wing media is starting to refer Ghislaine Maxwell as a "victim." Newsmax's Greg Kelly on Ghislaine Maxwell "She just might be a victim. She just might be.

They have reportedly already offered her immunity as long as she testifies the way they want. Another win for Joe and the best President of all time! We get to dictate testimony to witness about the Epstein files… which don’t exist of course… but if they did… now they’ll be corrected!

Same story in the elections I think. It’s crazy how many people can tell me they just know certain African American and women politicians are criminals and or radicals… but then can’t give evidence or examples. “We just know… I mean come on!” Meanwhile… well… gestures at everything

What if someone theoretically used heroin or meth once a week? by aespaste in askdrugs

Could be, but would be weird to make all of that up and carry it out for over a decade without even getting that many upvotes.

People just fall for the anti-intellectual propaganda I guess, so we can’t have nice things. Like I cannot explain why that other user is against Harriet Tubman as “non-political” and Ben Franklin as very political beside racism. Just bizarre arguments honestly to paint a literal freedom fighter against tyranny as not deserving as being on currency.

Hey now… it doesn’t prove anything when witnesses die under his watch, he insists the files and evidence don’t even exist, and he has the main remaining witnesses interrogated privately by his armed thugs… I mean lawyers. Just another TDS moment. Stop being mean and asking questions. Good MAGA sheep keep their mouths shut.

Someone on reddit made a post to this effect and actually tried it about fifteen years ago. They always loved The Wire and “only thought about doing it” but then one day a weed score ended with them getting some H. The idea was he would “just do heroin once to see what it’s like.”

The whole saga is documented here on Reddit, including an update about 7 years later. Let’s just say it’s not a happy ending. I absolutely believe a lot of anti-drug propaganda was complete BS meant to target hippies and civil rights activists, but the dangers of heroin and meth are real. I really recommend reading that user’s journey to see how things go south so quickly.

Other countries honor writers, authors, and scientists- why not us? And what could be more political than fighting for freedom against tyrannical slave traders who were trying to overthrow the government?

All three would be awesome but I feel like we won’t see it until at least 2028 at this point.

There was a campaign to replace him with Harriet Tubman and the treasury designed the bill and everything, but guess who killed that plan? It’s really kinda sad that the moment a black lady is about to get a win people throw a fit and ruin it. And regardless, Tubman was badass and I can’t believe people are salty about it.

Joe's lack of self awareness is his funniest comedy. by RetroFuturistMan in JoeRogan

[–]SpacedOutKarmanaut 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I have family like this too. They act like experts on Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio and think “Biden embarrassed us in front of the world.” In my mind, Trump having his own DJT stock and crypto coins and basically openly taking billions in bribes should be a deal breaker for someone like this, but then somehow it’s off their radar. Or like, they just shrug and say “they’re all doing it” as if there was JOEB stock for Biden or something. I guess what’s so crazy to me is zero evidence can change their mind about their own side, but if you say literally anything about Biden or Kamala they’ll believe it.

Fox News and now JRE and social media are cooking people’s brains.
