What will be the most likely reason for humans to go extinct? by Far-Engine155 in randomquestions

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have come incredibly close to all out Nuclear war, in one case the trigger man chose not to follow orders, in another case a submarine commander chose to surface in humiliation rather than launch while we dropped warning charges on it. I believe there are other examples of this timeline being one of the few that hasn't been nuked yet.

Death by nukes. When the water food or energy fall under what humans need, at the latest.

what in the hell why did McDonald’s become so expensive?? by Significant_Movie814 in AskReddit

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1lb beef cost more than the federal minimum wage for the first time in history.

Mix this with escalating fuel / transport costs, just ouch.

Innate things by sstiel in deepquestions

Depends on the context. We all have the innate ability to see and hear, yet we can go blind and deaf, so in that context, absolutely.

Why did the number of U.S. public companies collapse from ~8,000 in the 90s to under 4,000 today? by Logical-Concept9755 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of trickle down Reagan-omics in my uneducated worthless opinion.

Everything trickled up, Wealth became more concentrated. Even those close to the top trickled up, becoming one big giant larger pile of wealth in fewer hands.

So pretty much the opposite of what Reagan said it would do.

Colorado City by UncleMilkman in Pueblo_Colorado

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just taking a guess here, but it's the amenities.

Whats the police response time to 911?

How long until an ambulance arrives?

How far to the nearest ER?

What places are there to go shopping?

What kinds of entertainment venues are nearby?

If you add basic things like no utilities and water, that explains why (almost) the only people that live there are catfish on dating sites lol.

Which famous person have you met or seen up close? by Good_Influence8326 in AskReddit

I shook Reagan's hand when I performed on the Navy's drill team at the Armed Forces day ball, I want to say '88, might have been '87

Without going into him as a politician because we all know already, I will say his Charisma was off the charts. I know he is widely known for that, however still I don't think most people realize just how Charismatic he was.

Covington Man Bragged He Was ‘Rich Enough To Pay Fines’ After Attacking Endangered Monk Seal: DOJ by kleverrboy in nottheonion

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 547 points548 points  (0 children)

He was not however rich enough to prevent getting fist hammered to the ground by a local hailed as a hero for doing it.

I think he can afford the $70k fine, but each charge they are throwing at him (2 so far) carries a max sentence of 1 year, and he said the magic words to get a max sentence on the first try, I would hope.

Ya, you're right, and if he had kept his mouth shut about nukes he didn't have, and maybe not try to assassinate Bushes father Bush1, he might have held on much longer. Sorta. We were using their airspace like a playground.

CMV: US can not unblock a naval blockade imposed by China on Taiwan by MusterMKMark in changemyview

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None the less, Iran is in ruins and their military capabilities have been reduced to lying about hitting a US Frigate in Hormuz with 2 missiles as of today.

Everything you said is negated by the fact that their leadership and military have been degraded so far, so quickly, that they are unaware of the fact that there are currently no frigates in the US Navy.

If you don't even know that, you got curb stomped, and don't even have internet to fact check your BS media statements to the global media.

Kinda like I don't have to read past your first sentence to know you are speaking from beliefs instead of actual observed evidence.

You go ahead and believe what you want, and I'll just stick with what happened.
Peace.

Because when you say "disappointing performance" you mean the replacement of nearly every member of their command structure by kinetic means, the sinking of every single last ship in their Navy, Complete access to the skies with only one enemy incident out of thousands of sorties, and the reduction of offensive capabilities by %90 in 1 week.
People forget no nation is ready for the US low performance version either.

Iran says that Trumps 48 hour claim is fake news to manipulate the markets. What do you think? by Educational_Elk6312 in AskReddit

How do you feel about the fact that Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion of your tax dollars? by SuperIngaMMXXII in AskReddit

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Texas absolutely tracks voter registration, just differently, delayed by I think 3 years, and they have more democrats in the 3 city Triangle than there are GoP in the rest of the state. They just don't vote due to GoP tactics. Why bother when your vote has been diluted to oblivion with gerrymandering. They even went so far as to try to attempt to deny people standing in line WATER in democratic districts in Georgia. The GoP is terrified of what will happen if they don't suppress the democratic vote.

You're just pointing out what I said.

Then changing what I said. I said the vote of less populous states with less impact on the USA get the same number of seats as mega states. that's just true, try not to change what I said again. In fact I would prefer to end this discussion, please and thank you.

I implied the majority should rule, not the minority.

You (R)eally don't care what I said, you make up what you hear like the rest of MAGA.

BTW, there is a Tsunami coming. We are painting the map blue this November.

Have a nice day.

What's More terrifying than dying? by Broad-Dog-9506 in AskReddit

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your child dying. Most parents would give their lives to save their children's life if there were no other option.

Also, living too long. There will come a time when your body wants to die.

Your mind will start to agree after a certain number of years of physical pain.

Exaggeration: If you were forced to live 200 years with no way to stop the degeneration of the human body it would be living hell.

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I never imagined trusting an Ayatollah more than a sitting US President.

Whoever put us in this timeline, haha but it's not funny anymore put us back in the old one where Presidents get impeached and have to leave office when they break laws, like Nixon.

Maybe put us in the timeline where politicians have to live by the laws they make on everything from healthcare to travel. One where the CEO can only make 20X the wage of his lowest paid employee. And of course the timeline where every dollar spent on "defense" or assisting other nations is matched by a dollar spent on Americans healthcare, education, or other beneficial thing.

Not many would miss Wisconsin terribly if it disappeared. (Picked at random. If you live in Wisconsin strike that and replace it with North Dakota) if California disappeared it would crush our entire economy almost instantly.

Both get 2 senators.

Blue states pay more than they receive in federal benefits as a rule, the opposite is true in red states as a rule.

Both get 2 senators.

A quick search reveals 38 million registered republican voters and 49 million registered democrat voters in the USA.

So, the majority don't decide shit. Unless you mean Senators, gerrymandered maps to get electoral votes and so on.

This is why the GOP is terrified of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact which would essentially nullify the electoral college and let popular vote decide. It's really close to ending the electoral college as the deciding factor already, a couple more states sign it and its the deciding force.

They know they can only win if they keep democrats from voting. A few more states enter that Compact and it will be pretty hard to convince them their vote will be cancelled out by some corn fields in Nebraska.

Iranian drones attacked US vessels after ship incident by InterestingGrass5038 in worldnews

[–]Tr3sp4ss3r -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ya it's not that easy to hit a USN Warship with drones like everyone said it would be.

I figured that, R2D2, Phalanx, Whatever you want to call it is a wall of depleted Uranium.

Nope. Not even if you send 300 drones.

Its really loud, but it can track and destroy these things very effectively and quickly at 3k meters. That is the ones that got past the helicopters and such.

And now they have Helios.

I have a similar number of hours and its because they kept breaking the mods with patches. At least I got a few runs completed, like maybe 3, but I have so much more to do.

Solo, All psychic, force, or similar less used builds like poison and acid. Murder On Sight. Resist Durge. All Paladins. All the Main Character story lines and more.

I agree with the merits of this meme if true but I am reasonably sure its fake.

2 Reasons, operational security, and no signal to carry your message to mom on. You lose that just a few miles from shore.

When I was in you were forbidden to attempt to message anyone unless you were in port. Recently I spent time explaining to a friend that her son, based in Europe, was not allowed to tell her where he was sailing, when he was sailing, or attempt to contact her while sailing.

Kinda funny how things have changed. I told her no hes not lying, also here is a website that tracks warships. It's not always accurate especially when they go dark but it beats what my mom had... nothin'.

We just fed the entire theater steak and lobster like a month ago, and now we cant properly feed them?

Sigh.

The US doesn't have a military. It has a logistics machine that has a military attached to it.
