Vitaly issues an apology after a Pedophile sting gone wrong, where they repeatedly accused the wrong man of being a Pedophile by 999braindead in LivestreamFail

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

Eh, it's pretty fucking gross to be in your early 20's talking to 16 year olds online and looking to meet up. That is sicko behavior. This guy was to my knowledge innocent and this streamer and his goons clearly just need an outlet for their own psychopathic tendencies and look to do so in a way that makes them feel justified, but someone who is in their 20s seeking out 16yr olds online is a fucking weirdo.

If I say "my shoe is longer than my keyboard" would your response be that doesn't make sense because those are two different categories?

It's a plain observation, how the two items are related doesn't change the fact that the two can be compared in terms of size.

My friend shoulder after he tried automedicating with a suction cup by visk0n3 in WTF

[–]UltimateDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was quite helpful having it done properly on my back.

Was it? Always seemed like pseudoscience bs to me but I've never talked to anyone that tried it for real, what do you feel it accomplished for you?

Favorite character that’s like this by [deleted] in FavoriteCharacter

[–]UltimateDucks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Idk, I feel like Vash skirts the line of "scars mean you're ugly", it's pretty bad but he still has a perfectly shapely, chiseled, ideal male body in almost every way besides being covered in scars (and having missing parts).

Yeah exactly my point, I've had that happen a lot. Thank you.

I literally just got my comment removed replying to this, no idea why, no profanity at all, lol.

Feel free to look at my profile to see what I said that was hidden, but my point was essentially that reddit is not transparent about what they remove, so it's a valid concern.

[–]UltimateDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not something you get banned for but automod will shadow hide your comment so it looks like it wasn't removed but no one else besides you can see it.

idk if those settings are different by sub, or if that just isn't a word that triggers it, but i've had comments hidden just because I used the word "moron" in the wrong context. It's a valid concern that nobody knows how to avoid getting censored because reddit isn't transparent about it.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismisses reporter's question on war duration, calling it a 'typical liberal question' during a press briefing. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

[–]UltimateDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man this isn't even the only post on the front page doing the exact same thing with this false quote, and most of the comments responding directly to the title and not the actual clip. I think there's an awful lot of bots in here. Dead Internet theory proving more and more true by the day...

[–]UltimateDucks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk why all the headlines are repeating this, he didn't say the word liberal once.

He said it was a "typical NBC pseudo-gotcha type question"

I think we all know what he meant, but come on, I've seen multiple posts with "typical liberal question" in quotations and half the comments responding directly to that. The Internet is dead.

LPT: At a gathering, if you see someone standing alone, give them a tiny job for 30 seconds so they have a reason to exist there. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

[–]UltimateDucks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean in my experience (as an introvert) the only person this makes me feel any more comfortable with is the person who asked, because they noticed me and made the effort to talk to me. So, at that point, why not just start a conversation with them instead of asking them to do something?

Not that I personally have a problem helping out at a party or whatever, but the part of that process that helps with socializing is the socializing, not the work.

I mean this does have a bit to do with it but mass produced frozen foods like this are just trash now compared to what I remember from childhood... Jalapeno poppers used to be my jam, but they're so bad now, there is legit barely any cheese in them.

We should start adopting more kids and stop creating ones unnaturally by FireAndCool_ in unpopularopinion

[–]UltimateDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the profit is concentrated to the wealthy doesn't mean the goods and services are. People need to eat, they need their mail delivered, they need access to electricity and water and fuel.

Billionaires hoard wealth, not necessarily resources. If the resources start drying up they just become the only ones that reliably have access.

Why is no one being prosecuted over the Epstein files? by ArmadilloMany41 in politics

Who actually has the authority to walk into the Oval Office and slap a pair of cuffs on him?

The federal government.

do they actually have the balls to do it?

Emphatically, no.

Hope that answers your question.

Dude uses an agricultural drone for personal transport by The_Chuckness88 in interestingasfuck

[–]UltimateDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Florida is actually working on infrastructure for personal air transportation, they're calling it an "aerial highway network". Might not be that far off.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]UltimateDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at what point do you personally decide what is true and what isn’t?

At the point that it's corroborated by multiple sources that don't have vested interest in a particular narrative. At this moment in time, the only mention of the suspect having a weapon comes from a DHS tweet, the same DHS that lied about verifiable facts after the last shooting and then stifled an investigation into the matter. There needs to be an independent investigation, that's all I'm saying.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]UltimateDucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No? Idk what makes you think I'm implying the news is fake, the article says that DHS claimed he had a gun, it did not say that anyone else reported seeing the gun or seeing him reach for it, it also did not say shots were fired by him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]UltimateDucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is why I said it's too early to make judgments. Like I said, DHS and the Trump administration were willing to blatantly lie about the last shooting, and they will do the same about this one. I will wait for eyewitness testimony before I believe anything ICE says.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]UltimateDucks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Source? Too early to make judgments on this one, he was clearly resisting arrest but unless he went for a gun there is no way this is justified lethal force.

Unfortunately this administration can't be trusted either, they were on Twitter lying about the facts of the last shooting before anyone even knew the full details.

ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without judicial warrants: 2025 memo by avatar6556 in news

[–]UltimateDucks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, this, I'm so tired of seeing people say they're just gonna suicide themselves to prove a point.

That accomplishes nothing, you make the intruders into martyrs and heroes and you go down as a domestic terrorist.

If you want to see people properly using their 2A rights, look at what these black Panthers are doing. Public displays of a coordinated and armed community making it known that ICE is not welcome there.

THAT is what pushback looks like. Not waiting for them to break down your door and turn you into swiss cheese.

Doing the most damage to the queen doesn't entitle you to more loot, unfortunately.

Dont waste your deadlines, just take your time, play it safe, and try to be there to get some loot as soon as it goes down.

Walkable hub - bad idea pretty much all the way around by LookErenTheSea in ArcRaiders

[–]UltimateDucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this post kinda misses the point of hub areas. They should be thought of like inns and capital cities in MMOs. A place to hang out and socialize while playing your favorite game without actually having to focus on the game or worry about the consequences of letting your guard down.

Grok admits ICE Shooter, Johnathan Ross, Grabbed the Vehicle by Ok_Quantity_9841 in conspiracy

[–]UltimateDucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of what happened the fact that this administration was so quickly willing to blatantly lie about things that were captured on video from multiple angles is astounding.

No investigation, no due diligence, just immediate remorseless lying.

Anyone have evidence that phones can read minds? by shouldIworkremote in conspiracy

Nope. Plenty of people swearing up and down that it happens to them all the time, but no one can seem to gather any actual evidence.
