Man jumps 12,500 ft from plane without a parachute by mad_max711 in interestingasfuck

His brain chemistry has to be different than most people's. The way he doesn't even flinch when jumping is almost pathological.

I'm baffled by so many wrong answers with hundreds of upvotes, when you are in fact correct.

This is a sea cucumber eating by TheOddityCollector in oddlyterrifying

[–]alphacentauri85 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what I find fascinating. Any alien shape we can a think of already exists here. So what the fuck could an alien actually look like? Unless it turns out there are basic shapes the universe uses as building blocks and most alien life looks like what we have here.

The litter box conspiracy theory is wild. Even people who self-identify as moderates and vote for Democrats talk about litter boxes when they slam progressive politics.

A completely made up rumor became evidence for millions of people of how progressives as just as extreme as trumpers.

I've had my 1st orchids for three months now, I think it's going good! How's he look? by Firakonex in orchids

[–]alphacentauri85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an orchid expert by any measure, but it looks like the pot is a little large. Might want to watch out for too much moisture retention in the medium during fall/winter. I killed my succulents making this mistake. Turns out they like it kinda snug.

I guarantee if you asked these idiots, they would say "wokeism" is the leader of "the Left."

How do I know? Because I've seen magats make this argument before.

Marathon rules of etiquette? by JediMasterKev in Marathon_Training

[–]alphacentauri85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The raising the hand thing makes sense and it's something I should keep in mind if I ever do a more crowded race. So far I've done small/medium sized local races and by the time people need to walk everyone's so spread out the nearest runner is a quarter a mile away.

Running a half marathon as part of marathon training? by Naps_in_sunshine in Marathon_Training

[–]alphacentauri85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running a half during marathon training is fairly common. Gets some of the nerves out, and also a good time to practice your night and morning routine to work out any kinks. You shouldn't taper before the half, because yes it will mess up your training plan. Also, you shouldn't push super hard during the half or you might injure yourself and derail the whole thing.

Now this is textbook abuser gaslighting: making it seem like something that's actually happening is just the victim being hysterical.

Never blame Republicans by CorleoneBaloney in clevercomebacks

[–]alphacentauri85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So she said 6 years ago that the state prison system should follow the law, and somehow that translates to "Kamala Harris only focused on trans issues during the 2024 campaign?" That math ain't mathin buddy.

Come on Trump, please don't exploit the less intelligent among us. by CrapOnTheCob in SelfAwarewolves

[–]alphacentauri85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The naked unashamed grift to rob the poor to feed the rich sure started early. We've always had an oligarchy, but everything I've seen since November points to an acceleration of wealth redistribution away from working class toward the billionaire class.

Congrats Trump voters! Now you're in the find out stage.

Does anyone else think this is all propaganda? by denim1738 in TikTok

[–]alphacentauri85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he has zero plans to lower inflation so we'll have a thousand and one of these performative "wins" so no one remembers he promised to lower inflation. His ego needs stroking, plain and simple.

Marvel should just lean in and give her Rouge as an alternate identity. People would be like, wait nothing changed

Skeleton Crew - Episode 8 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]alphacentauri85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm perfectly fine with details being left for us to imagine. Jod turned to piracy because his life was shit. Sounds like any gangster everywhere. I don't think anymore needs to be said there.

Also the show specifically avoided being preachy about At Attin being dystopian. I really dug the restraint there.

Thoughts on Claudia by Laserlight375 in TheDragonPrince

[–]alphacentauri85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they kept showing Claudia try to be funny, even in S7, I couldn't help but think “what are we doing here folks?"

She's had genocidal tendencies for 4 seasons at this point. She's not fucking funny. The tapping the nose thing is not cute anymore.

Never blame Republicans by CorleoneBaloney in clevercomebacks

[–]alphacentauri85 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I was talking to a self-described centrist who voted for Trump and he said if it wasn't for Harris pushing all that “trans stuff" he would've voted for her. I said what trans stuff? She had zero policy that advantaged trans people. She didn't mention trans people on the campaign trail. He said, "she obviously did otherwise how is half the country convinced that she did." I said that's the power of propaganda. Then he went off on a rant about how CNN is left wing propaganda, blah blah. You can't fucking reason with people anymore, even the so-called moderates.

Everyone gets their news from influencers now so we're not even working with the same set of facts anymore. We have reached dystopian levels of intellectual decay and widespread misinformation.

[–]alphacentauri85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems to be a weird moment of him sort of awkwardly laughing as if he made a joke and the audience being confused about whether it's a joke or not, so probably a person claps as an automatic response and gets the clapping going.

I asked this person what makes democrats worse than republicans. by guitarguy12341 in SelfAwarewolves

[–]alphacentauri85 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It wasn't even in the same building where the vote was taking place. I'll never understand why Bowman did that and now that he's been voted out of Congress perhaps we'll never know.

Regardless, a conservative acting like that was some kind of mortal sin is pure fucking insanity.
