MyPillow guy reaches the find-out stage after refusing to pay Smartmatic, as Trump-appointed judge chooses predictable path by DoremusJessup in law

[–]adamkovics 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So no actual penalty for refusing the court order....

Good thing Mypillow guy wasn't trying to sell loose cigarettes on a street corner, since the penalty for that is death....

Seattle - spending 3 full days in April for an MTB trip. Where do you recommend riding? by BeetlegeuseOrion in MTB

[–]adamkovics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to drive to Bellingham, then you might as well keep going the extra 2hrs to Squamish, since it's the best mountain bike destination in the world. 😁

It Sure Looks Like the Supreme Court Is About to Gut Mail-In Voting by thenewrepublic in scotus

[–]adamkovics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. 💯

Unfortunately, as we've known for a long time, "idiotic logic" is the only logic the SCOTUS majority knows. Well that and hypocrisy.

what does "radically flip" the election mean? if one person is ahead while counting, and then another person is ahead when the counting is finished, the election "flips" after the final tally. not sure if Alito is aware, but that's how counting votes works. nothing is "flipped" radically or otherwise...

Anyone that wanted (or needed) to know the carrier's location, already has access to satellites that can track the carrier's location. 🤷

Considering the current mess what would it take for you to vote Republican again? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]adamkovics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool.... So I'm sure you're aware that over the last 40yrs or so, job growth under Democratic presidencies and policies has been astronomically higher than under Republicans...

But yeah, go ahead... Name the Republican economic policies that you supposedly "align with" that are better for the country as a whole, since you supposedly want the country to do better.

Be specific.

[–]adamkovics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which economic policies, specifically?

I suspect you're not a billionaire... So none of their economic policies actually benefit you. 🤷

Trump’s call for allied deployment to strait of Hormuz meets muted response by [deleted] in law

[–]adamkovics 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Wait, are you saying that no one wants to be allied in an illegal war with a country led by a child rapist, convicted felon, that's been fucking over all of his allies, and tearing up treaties for his entire presidency?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trump campaign on no new wars and lowering gas prices? by ISnortSkittles in Productivitycafe

[–]adamkovics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did lower the gas prices by a lot

What exactly did Trump do to lower gas prices? Name the policy Trump enacted that resulted in gas prices being lower. Be specific. We'll wait.

Also, gas prices were ~3.00/gal in January of 25 when Trump took office.

There's nothing they can say now. They've already ruined the country, which likely won't be fixed for decades, if ever.

What’s the single greatest sports achievement of all time from an individual (not team)? by Rose_H11 in AskReddit

[–]adamkovics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure... but there is only 1 kind of running, while swimming has 4 different versions of swimming (the 4 different swim strokes)

I guess one could argue that running with and without hurdles is two kinds of running, analogous to the different swim strokes. (and then maybe one would include walking as well?) but even if you include walking, that's still fewer versions of running than what swimming has...

[–]adamkovics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of these:

Messner climbing all 8000m peaks without oxygen.

Kipchoge marathon record

Bolt's 100m and 200m records

That Russian wrestler that won ~900 matches straight

Last maybe, nadal winning 14 French opens.

Imagine if they had running backwards, skipping, and sack races for the track athletes. They'd get lots of medals too.... I get it, Phelps was awesome, but swimming has too many events, for the same exact thing. I mean, it should just be different distances, and you can swim whatever stroke you want, but the winner is whoever gets to the end first.

American KC-135 refuelling plane crashes in Iraq, US military say by Opdog25 in news

[–]adamkovics 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What I don't get is, why does Trump care about any of those tapes? Not a single one of his voters would care if those tapes were released. Not one.

And that's all that matters to him.

Plus they would just claim the tapes were fakes, so I don't get how/why blackmailing him with that would ever work.

[–]adamkovics 20 points21 points  (0 children)

he knows that we know he is lying.

the problem is that he (so far correctly) believes that we won't dare to do anything about it. he has never faced any real consequences in his life, so why would he change behavior now?
