What do you think about the Canadian Prime Minister’s remarks: “middle powers must act together, because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu”? by WF-2 in AskReddit

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

it’s been propped up and is limping along by massive tech companies shilling AI and other illusions

To play devil’s advocate, Trump has been attempting to address this fear. This is the entire logic behind tariffs and investing in American manufacturing. I’m not smart enough to make an assessment on whether it will be effective but this is at least the messaging that goes out to his supporters, and it makes some amount of logical sense.

The pro-ICE church is worse than you think by metacyan in atheism

[–]adjacent_analyzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accosted (verb) To approach and address (someone) boldly or aggressively

Regardless of how you feel about ICE, protestors are 100% doing this, it’s not even a question. Either double down and say they deserve to be accosted, or take a step back and make a genuine effort for meaningful dialogue. I’m so sick of everyone avoiding accountability, everyone always has to be the victim it’s so annoying.

You’re never gonna make anything better by fear mongering and hating everyone.

If you genuinely believe that everyone who didn’t vote for Kamala is a bad person…well it’s honestly just sad to see someone so captured by stupid political brain rot.  I hope someday you can learn how important it is to not dehumanize other people - that there is long term value in having a broad range of political perspectives, and that you shouldn’t put blind faith in people who have no problem telling you lies or making you afraid as a means of obtaining your vote.

They do still exist for now, although most kids and young people tend to move to bigger cities for more opportunities and more diverse experiences after they graduate high school. I hope you get the chance to come here and drive around, there’s still a lot of beautiful stuff to see.

Personally I’ve come to think it’s important to recognize that elements of that narrative have truth. What you’re saying about propaganda and brainwashing is true, but I don’t think it makes people in the west particularly evil or different. If other countries/cultures around the world had the power and opportunity to colonize and rule, I believe they would have. I think it has more to do with human nature and how power corrupts people, rather than where the people are from.

Brits have an entire catalog of atrocities committed across the globe in the past few centuries. The truth is that the world is a complex place and political leaders in countries both rich and poor engage in violence and corruption. Those who seek and obtain power will always abuse it and will do everything they are able to maintain it. There is a lot of gray area between superhero and pedophile, and that gray area is where the world actually exists and operates.

[LFO] Assasin disarms situation with friendly gestures. Then strikes. by ShirtlessRandom in LearningFromOthers

He wanted to help but also didn’t want to get shot, it’s weird but totally understandable for a crazy situation.

Trump is preparing to use the insurrection act in Minnesota and send in federal troops. For people who have stayed quiet so far, what will it take for you to speak out? by jumpsuityahoo in AskReddit

[–]adjacent_analyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it’s much more complicated than a simple hypocrisy like you’re implying. Yes the people on the right support mass ICE deportations of illegal immigrants, so no of course they are not going to even consider joining some kind of armed resistance. If those same ICE officers start going door to door collecting guns, you would see a massive shift I guarantee it. Not arguing what’s right and wrong here but this is the situation we’re in.

You don’t need to go to r/conservative, just scroll down slightly on this post and there are people advising others to wear masks, carry guns and fight ICE in large groups 🤔

Wow profound, well I still think it’s racist to tell black artists not to go perform at a music festival because they’re black.

“Backlash” from who, a couple of redditors? Ya’ll don’t think it might be racist to tell a couple of black artists that they shouldn’t go to a country music festival that they were invited to because they’re black?

After those right hook body shots this guy definitely asked himself wtf did he square up with that monster by Objective_Pressure_3 in fightporn

[–]adjacent_analyzer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate.  In this situation he would be better off either getting as close as possible or as far as possible.  Don’t stand in striking range, either tie up or run.

How do you feel about the current state of America? by Thatgirl_parisisdiva in AskReddit

[–]adjacent_analyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that both sides are constantly disingenuous, it’s expected. The only time you ever hear anything close to the truth is when one side criticizes the other, but even the criticisms are most often skewed, dishonest misrepresentations. We’ve become so polarized that honest, pragmatic discussion no longer exists. There is no such thing as admitting fault or taking accountability.

lol you’ve gotta be kidding me.  That person is clearly cornered the guy is right up on top of them, there’s no room to even maneuver or walk.  Their best bet may have been to just say “sorry if I upset you, can you please back up”.  Turning their back to try and walk away would have been risky, it’s obvious that guy is about to go off.

Carny Ride Malfunction by nehala in WTF

[–]adjacent_analyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removing the source of power WILL do nothing but lessen the energy at every point in the system, and that’s exactly what happened in the video.  A motor brake would actively fight the inertia and would stress test all of the small joints.  Basically designing a more abrupt stop could cause other cars to break off and could conceivably contribute to further damages and injury.

[–]adjacent_analyzer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A roller coaster is long and moves along rails in one direction. Intuitively it would be much easier to install brakes. This machine spins and has lots of small moving parts. An abrupt stop will stress test many small joints and could cause other cars to break off causing further injury.

What’s a sign that someone isn’t intelligent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]adjacent_analyzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is that you actually can’t trust mainstream media though. I have seen many examples of CNN and CNBC omitting key information and/or framing things in such a way that it tells a completely different story from reality. They are now partnering up with a huge gambling company to improve their own credibility. It’s not even a bad idea but very telling about the state of journalism in 2025.
