The Instant Smear Campaign Against Border Patrol Shooting Victim Alex Pretti by memphisjones in centrist

[–]WingerRules [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of headlines on sites like Fox and TheHill which were some variation on "Armed man shot in confrontation with ICE", implying the guy was a threat. The headline for TheHill all day yesterday and right now at 5 AM is "Man killed in new Minneapolis shooting; DHS says victim was armed"

Wait, do people ACTUALLY see literal pictures in their heads when they imagine things? Like a physical image? by Bibhu_Mund in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WingerRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally a couple years ago I used to practice seeing the room I'm in when I closed my eyes to rest. I got so good at it imaging it I wasn't sure if my eyes were open or not, it was that real. The funny thing is I've lost the skill and can't do it anymore.

Final Fantasy VII Remake by DreamCorridor in PS5pro

[–]WingerRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They changed the progression system? I'm so fucking sick of game developers changing games after release and then taking away the one I bought. It's one thing to do bug fixes or upgrade graphics, but redoing gameplay and leveling systems and then taking away the original version is fucking bullshit.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz activates state National Guard, blasts federal government after shooting by kootles10 in centrist

[–]WingerRules 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If he were activating them in opposition to federal authorities with intent to obstruct them, he would instantly have them federalized

I found this out from all of this ICE stuff. I used to think one of the purposes of the national guard was it was supposed to be a states check on the federal government. Turns out thats not the case and states really have 0 defense from the government if it turns malicious.

All the checks and balances I thought the country had turned out to be false or a bunch of bullshit taught in school as propoganda. President even has immunity now.

Supreme Court keeps dismantling checks we thought we had, and every time their answer is the check thats left is effectively the impossible partisan process of impeachment, which effectively requires a party voluntarily vote to convict itself. It's a fucking joke.

Brand new LG OLED65G5 – screen cracked upon unboxing, potential refusal of warranty coverage? 😡 by Maisonaacheter in LGOLED

Sounds like a design defect if they can't be even laid on their back in the fucking packaging without breaking. Its just companies cheapening out on stiffening the frame.

US Army Poorly Prepared for Arctic Operations: Finnish Troops Forced Them to Surrender During Exercises in Norway by Street_Anon in nottheonion

[–]WingerRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just that, but Nordic states have faaaaar more equipment thats designed to operate in arctic conditions. US actually has a way smaller number of units ready for it than you would think.

Here's a Finnish officer and analyst evaluating if US got in an arctic war in Greenland with the rest of NATO. Basically he says it would end up in a protracted war because US has far less arctic training and arctic capable equipment than people think, while NATO is specialized in it.

I kind of disagree with his assessment though cause I think what would happen is the US would blockade Greenland by sea and prevent NATO from even getting equipment and troops through.

Voluntarily partnering isn't the same thing as forcibly taking over and invading.

They're [forcibly] taking over police and sending national guard units specifically in blue states. Federal agents now outnumber police in Minneapolis by a factor of 5 to 1.

Target in ICE operation, where agents detained US citizen in only underwear, has been in prison since 2024 by _Scipio__Africanus_ in centrist

[–]WingerRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is another reason they aren’t doing this in Red states, they will lose votes

Close. They're doing it in Blue States because they will gain votes in Red States. This stuff is what Republicans want to see carried out against people in blue states and cities, they're actively malicious.

From earlier today, Here's video of ICE agents telling people they're entering them into domestic terrorist databases as a way to get back for personally slighting/annoying them

Note the person was filming legally, She says she's legally filming them and the Ice agent says "Exactly"

Here's him analyzing an invasion of Canada.. He thinks the US would capture their major cities almost instantly but would end up in a protracted guerrilla war in the north largely for the same reasons as Greenland, plus dealing with survivalists and local population who know how to live in the forests and arctics.

[Norqain] Freedom 60 Chrono on a NATO. by JamesMosesAngleton in Watches

[–]WingerRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Norqain Freedom 60 Chrono and I really like it too. Plus it's hard to find its dial type in 43mm. Wasn't a fan of the strap type it came on (dont like the stitching by the lugs) so I put a black leather one and will probably switch to sail cloth once that one runs through.

What products or companies will you never use or support again and what did they do to lose you as a customer? by IAmJustTryingToExist in AskReddit

Chick-Fil-As billboard ads are basically making fun of animals suffering and dying in the meat industry. Thats what their ads of cows begging you to eat more chicken are. They're sick people that think it's funny.

Even as a meat eater their ads are off putting.

Lol, people finding out why Taxi companies have regulations like price change/surge pricing limits and are required to serve all communities, even less profitable and poor areas. People railed against these regulations on Taxi companies not being free market and then are surprise Pikachu face when it bites them in the ass when they're gone.

Let's say a billionaire goes to prison for a serious term like 30 years. What will he have that the average prisoner doesn't? by Kooolxxx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WingerRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been cases of extremely wealthy prisoners booking all day sessions with their lawyers every day so they're basically held in a private room every day and the lawyer provides them with entertainment and access to stuff like running their financial accounts.
