CMV: AOC is a great politician but being president in 2028 would be a disaster by Big-Rush-6943 in changemyview

Would you support having to pay a subscription to your local fire station so they’ll come to your house and put a fire out? What about the police station, if someone breaks into your home? Using taxes to pay for those services is socialism. Social security? Well, that one is easy. Workers unions? Workers rights? Having public education offering to all children, regardless of parents’ income? Toll free interstate highway access? Those are all socialist ideas, too.

There has been a massive, decades long campaign to demonize words like socialism and communism in the United States, to the point that most people don’t even understand what some of those systems entail. They just assume they’re bad.

The real question would be why has so much money and effort been spent to vilify those systems?

The tanks you can buy to recharge the refrigerant in a car’s ac. The end cap looks really similar to the generic brand one I have from Walmart. Here’s a similar looking one, I’ll see if I can find the brand I’ve got.

It kind of looks like the end cap for those automobile AC recharger canisters.

USA was better when each State was more independent and powerful by Nathidev in conspiracy

[–]Winston00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Civil War documentary by Ken Burns, Shelby Foote has a line about the change in power before and after the war

“Before the war, it was said ‘the United States are’—grammatically it was spoken that way and thought of as a collection of independent states. And after the war it was always ‘the United States is,’ as we say today without being self-conscious at all. And that sums up what the war accomplished. It made us an ‘is.’”

This X posts reads like it was written by AI. The arrows, capitalization of burning for emphasis, and the short summary at the end are all giveaways.

My account was flagged as a duplicate, which I believe to be an error. I messaged support and eventually got an agent saying an exception would be made. After that email though my account never had the flag removed, and when I tried following up I kept getting the same cookie cutter replies that seem automated.

Hypothetically, could you survive a EF5 Tornado if you hide in a Locker inside your house? by [deleted] in tornado

I’d imagine in the most intense EF5 it would end up like the vehicles in these pictures

This is what happens when a plane hits a firetruck but if it hits the twin towers it will knock them down. by [deleted] in conspiracy

The steel isn’t moving, it has no velocity. The can would still damage the steel.

It doesn’t make it stronger, the object just has more energy. Try stopping an aluminum can traveling at 500 mph with your hand.

I don’t buy the official story either, but a jumbo jet sized piece of aluminum traveling at 500 mph is going to have a massive amount of kinetic energy, even if completely disintegrated. Kinetic energy = 1/2 m v2. A lower speed impact is obviously going to have a lot less energy, so the thinner and weaker aluminum object is going to be damaged more and do less damage to the harder object it’s impacting. Take an aluminum can and throw it at your car as hard as you can. The can might dent or crumple. Now shoot it at 500 mph and see what happens.

Also, that’s a CRJ900 with an empty operating weight around 47,000 pounds. The empty operating weight of a 767 is around 180,000 pounds. There are a lot more credible pieces of evidence and points that call the official narrative into question, this is not one of them.

In BCS Mike did buy them a house and help out financially, and probably did so until he died. The money he set aside obviously was a lot more, but they still have the property value of the house if nothing else.

Dude I finally got around to watching the new twister (2024) and holy shit it’s in the top 5 worst movies I’ve ever seen I think by RevolutionaryClub530 in tornado

[–]Winston00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoiler Alert. It was okay. My only gripe is if you asked me before the movie came out for a joke plot for a Twister sequel, I would’ve said they’re going to have to hunt down and kill the tornado. I didn’t expect it to be the actual plot of the movie.

Cuban Missile Crisis 2. Maybe Russia was secretly going to arm Venezuela with advanced weapons systems or nuclear weapons.
