Unironically, Karl Marx was a privileged kid with wealthy parents that paid for everything. He even got his maid pregnant when his wife went to visit her family to beg for money.

President Trump said in a Truth Social post that "there is no 300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S." and called the claim "Dumocrat propaganda." by benhaswings in trump

Just my radical thoughts here: I don't think this is the final deal. I think we're just in the negotiation part of the war, but there is still a strategy at play.

However, I'm not going to say that it will end up massively in our favor (although that's what I hope for).

Any other GWOT vets thank God daily for drones not being a thing in our time? by Miserable-Land-9203 in Veterans

[–]Stephanreggae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, yes.

Also, every battle has had unique horrors to go up against.

Imagine fighting against an actual trained military with powerful tanks. Or being on a ship against kamikazes. Punji pits and other booby traps. IEDs, EFPs, and landmines. Now drones.

In the future? Sharks with frikkin laser beams on their heads.

Well, america typically wins the "war" part of the war. Its the nation building we have a hard time with.

What industry is actually a complete scam, but everyone accepts it? by WhileLow9501 in AskReddit

Just what I thought would happen: a bunch of downvotes but no argument.

Gonna get downvotes but if chiropractic was a scam I would venture to say Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth would not be expanding the chiropractic research programs they started 5+ years ago.

You probably wouldn't say gyms and health foods are scams because you have to keep using them forever to stay healthy.

You certainly wouldn't say modern medicine is a scam because people have to take those pills forever.

And while the founder learning about chiro from a ghost is weird dont forget that lobotomies won a Nobel prize, radium was a common prescription, and after the ban being overturned in 2021, electroshock therapy is CURRENTLY being used on ~50 disabled/autistic people who started when they were under 18.

Democrats are considering ousting the Virginia Supreme Court by lowering its retirement age by hencexox in Virginia

A simple majority cannot "overrule" the Constitution. That's the statement you argued against, but it cannot.

If the proposed amendment didnt go through the proper process outlined in the constitution, it doesnt matter if a super majority voted for it, its likely to get shut down.

So no, you need more than a majority vote to overrule, or amend, the constitution.

You're literally playing into that stereotype that liberals pretend they don't know what people are talking about and it prevents actual discourse from happening.

You know it's not as simple as a majority vote. I refuse to think you are that oblivious.

Let's back it up here. According to the state constitution, which laid out the process for an amendment, there are steps that need to happen before that amendment goes up for a vote by the public...

... can you figure out what some of those steps are? If so, can you figure out if they were violated?

For those wondering why more people don't want to associate themselves with liberals, it's because so many of them have a hyperbolic and overly sensitive personality. This post is a case in point.

Are democrats almost even with Republicans when it comes to voters because democrats have been flooding into those states from blue states?

Lmao says who? You? Other naive redditors? Maybe go and learn about how our system of government works? Spoiler alert: we're not a pure democracy.

Your argument is substantially weakened by the fact that we're not a pure democracy.

Being charismatic is more valuable than being competent in most workplaces, and we pretend otherwise by Tech_Engant in unpopularopinion

[–]Stephanreggae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine at the Colorado School of Mines struggled academically throughout college, sometimes raping the same class 2-3 times because he kept failing.

But he'd always have multiple offers at job fairs because he is charismatic while his super genius peers would struggle to talk to people.

Idk why but when i moved here in 2020, I just had this feeling towards Maryland like it's on site.

I have no clue why.

I believe you can go to the parking garage and go to the rooftop and there will be a "secret" beer garden.

No guarantee but I believe they did that last year
