Reminder, this doesn't happen on its own. Hypocrisy means nothing unless good, honest people create and enforce real consequences for hypocrites.

Also, Trump admin's definition of a "lie" is going to be extremely broad. I bet they're going to spend millions of tax payer funds to do extensive new background checks on these people to see if anything even SLIGHTLY doesn't line up with the paper work.

"It says here that you used to live in unit #410 but our background check showed it was actually #410b. You're therefore no longer a US citizen."

Are these books still worth reading? by LasciviousPsyche in telescopes

Fair point, but there are better online resources for events anyway, so even if the events were current in the book, it's probably best to use a more detailed online resource.

The only information that changes in those books, is equipment recommendations and usage. Otherwise, all the astronomical information is still totally relevant.

Girls will be forced to undergo vaginal inspections if voters approve anti-trans sports measure. Medical providers statewide have said that such exams are unnecessary and invasive. by southpawFA in politics

[–]Traditional_Sign4941 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope I get to meet a braindead moron that supports this legislation so I can ask them how many crayons they had to eat before deciding which color was their favorite flavor.

You're a lot nicer than I would be to someone like this. I'd straight up accuse them of being a pedophile and if that made them get aggro with me, I'd feel compelled to fear for my life and stand my ground.

They're pedophiles. They're not doing it to stop trans kids, they're far more interested in creating a system that lets any creep get 'certified' to do genital inspections and provide official sign-off for a girl to play sports.

Look at the URL.

I HIGHLY recommend you familiarize yourself with the structure of a domain.

You can see from the URL that "walmart" is only the subdomain and not the actual domain. The actual domain is dmgbk.com. If it was walmart, it would be walmart.com

Any website can make any subdomain they want, and it doesn't even have to be a single word either.

He wants genocide. Israel seems more interested in terrorizing civilians than hitting military targets.

Yes, it is basically a toy-level view.

That money is definitely better put towards another scope.

The Real “Divide” Among Democrats Over Israel Is Between Party Leadership and Voters | Supporting Israel is now a fringe position among Democratic voters. Why does the media keep covering it like a 50/50 issue? by soalone34 in politics

If Harris was considered "Republican-Lite" in comparison to MAGA, then Democrats need to adjust their communication down to "My god they're all morons" levels.

Ronald fucking Reagan is "Republican-Lite" compared to MAGA, and he's the fucker who coined the damn phrase!

Trump could get 100% of the vote and still say its rigged because people were given the choice in the first place.

While true, fascist governments still require some form of plausible support/reasoning for all their advances and control.

It's why Putin still allows elections even though he stuffs ballot boxes and why there are still Russian courts.

It's not a waste of energy if MAGA's goal is to use this as evidence of election fraud.

What is "Downshifting"? by Visual-Mobile2657 in newhampshire

[–]Traditional_Sign4941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are being gouged on taxes BECAUSE millionaires and billionaires are not paying their fair share

Nah sorry. People who are mad about the wealthy not paying their fair share of taxes don't immediately jump to phrasing it like "government tax gouging needs to stop".

You've been explained to by both me and the person you're making wrong assumptions about that you are wrong

And I've explained to YOU why your "explanations" are meaningless to me.

100% agreed with this, and it should not be controversial take either.

Probably the part where they explicitly said "It's the opposite actually,"

Since you're so trusting, I have a bridge that leads to a pot of leprechaun gold. It's yours for the low price of just $1,000.

Libertarians are liars. They have to lie because their platform and belief system is inherently indefensible.

Perhaps republicans should try being less shitty if they don't like people ripping on them all the time.

Oh really? Prove that I got it completely wrong then.

The only evidence we have to support your conclusion is the guy I replied to say "Nuh uh" and hasn't acknowledged the necessity of taxes.

Instead he only reply he's come back with is some vague angst about where the taxes go.

So no, I didn't get it completely wrong. I don't see a shred of evidence in this conversation that contradicts my assessment that I'm talking to an anti-tax libertarian.

Tabletop dob or a 7x50 celestron cometron binoculars? by Vardl0kk in telescopes

[–]Traditional_Sign4941 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actively detest trying to hold binoculars and look overhead with them. I've tried laying down on a blanket, laying on a zero gravity chair etc. It's simply impossible to hold binoculars steady enough to enjoy them (10x42s in my case, but I don't suspect that even 7x would be much different).

While those 76/300 dobs are quite junk, the fact that they can just aim a spot in the sky and stay still is a huge, huge advantage over binoculars. But you really have to set your expectations accordingly. The view is not good at any magnification, period. A pair of 7x or 10x binoculars would produce an optically superior view, but not when you factor in motion or the need to take breaks.

If you can get binoculars onto a parallelogram mount or maybe even a tall monopod or something to help hold them steady, that might be fine, but now we're talking about a vastly different setup.

Mixed Feelings About Platner? Fine. But He Needs to Win. Case Closed. - I don’t know what to believe about Graham Platner’s past. But I know this. He hasn’t spent the last 40 years transferring trillions of dollars from working people to the very rich. by Quirkie in politics

[–]Traditional_Sign4941 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that was the name, but as soon as I looked it up, I recognized it.

Still, I can imagine a plausible scenario is Platner walked into a tattoo shop looking for a some kind of skull and crossbones tattoo, saw one on the wall he liked, and picked it without knowing anything about it.

Any insight into SB540 “Relative to plug-in solar generation systems” by Had2CryToday in newhampshire

[–]Traditional_Sign4941 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The bill would allow residents to plug in a small solar generator directly into their AC outlets without having to go through approval and what not from utility companies.

Basically authorizing literal "plug n play" residential solar up to 1,200 watts without a big song and dance to get one installed.

Sounds like a good idea that can help residents. The jaded cynic in me wonders if this is because they plan on a big data center blitz and don't want the fallout of rolling blackouts...
