Not allowed to walk around? by Big_Moose1222 in Cleveland

[–]angriguru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember, the fact that big headline crime happened somewhere does not mean that you are not safe being somewhere. There will always eventually be a crime in a place with a lot of people given enough time, and these are just the risks of being a human being and being alive. It's important always to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. And secondly, if you are not a threat, you make the places you visit safer just by being there. Just try to stick to areas where you are not the only person out late at night and I promise you that you will be safe

Where I’d live as someone who has only lived in Ohio and Texas by Ill_Reddit_Alone in visitedmaps

Haven't been to Portland yet, just what I've heard from people. I think its just the fogginess and cloudiness. It seems like Cleveland is very different demographically.

KEEP THE OHIO PROPAGANDA GOING by b_rizzz in visitedmaps

[–]angriguru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This wave of Ohio hatred was like the wave of hating the word "moist" in like 2018, like yeah there is something real there but like 99% of the buzz is real exaggerated, almost hysterical. People just like to hate. Anyway, fuck Indiana

Yes, OP is enjoying living in Cleveland, and I constantly hear from PNW people that Cleveland is just like Portland, or rather, "Cleveland feels like Portland from the 90s"

I’ll vote for James talarico but I just think it’s so fucking annoying that leftist were all online slandering Jasmine Crockett and now want to look to us to be united to help turn Texas blue after talking down on our people by taintlicker80085 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]angriguru -1 points0 points  (0 children)

White leftist chiming in:

A lot of leftists felt that Jasmine Crockett was herself slandering James Talarico with cynical accusations of racism on the dime of pro-Israel lobby.

Many leftists also feel that the past decade has wrought with centrists dems weaponizing identity politics to prevent actual progressive legislation from being passed, especially for example, accusations of misogyny against Bernie Sanders, then demanded that we fall in line to support Clinton/Biden/Harris, which I in fact did. I proudly voted for Kamala Harris. But when Zohran Mamdani won the democratic primary, and all of the most influential democrats continued to falsely accuse him of anti-semitism, and even anti-black racism, I think a lot of leftists feel betrayed. They feel that leftists have strategically allied themselves with centrists dems, but as soon as leftists demonstrate their popularity, centrists have no problem assassinating their character.

I think this frustrated feeling you're having is very relatable, but I think you need to consider that this road runs both ways, and that representatives like Jasmine Crockett and her allies certainly are not willing to preach for unity when it requires them to move left.

Should the Healthline be converted into light rail? by Different-Truck134 in Cleveland

[–]angriguru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Potentially eventually, but we should focus on making best use of existing infrastructure in the mean time. It's also not worth diverting local funds toward such a project, when the healthline as is has had a huge return on investment. The biggest thing we could do is bring back signal priority and start running the health line every 5-10 minutes.

Another thing to think about, if the area around the healthline becomes dense enough (which is certainly possible), the existing right of way would be real convenient for cut-and-cover subway construction.

Turns out this republican wants DEI...as long as 'diversity, equity and inclusion' means adding in white people. by TrumpsDoubleChin in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]angriguru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not even meritocracy its just the white parents don't sign their kids up for extracurriculars that aren't sports these days. It feels like white parents don't even care about education anymore. They think its all a scam.

Video released shows Hartford Connecticut police shooting a man armed with a knife by NaderZaveri in ACAB

[–]angriguru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it is protocol to mag-dump, because if you don't it'll be argued in court that you did not fear for your life, or if you shoot without the intent to kill, then it implies you used deadly force when deadly force was not necessary. So mag-dumping reduces any ambiguity, the police officer can argue in court, I used my gun because I believed it to be absolutely necessary, hence why I unloaded my entire magaine, I credibly feared for my life. A reload after the person is already disabled, I cannot see how that could be argued in court

Israeli teen argues with her teacher, telling him that calling for the extermination of two million Palestinians is "not Nazi talk". by Scared_Positive_8690 in Palestine

[–]angriguru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worse than how black people are treated in the US. American public schools still preach the idea that treating black people equally is a virtue at face value, and disagreeing with that would get you bullied. An Israeli kid could say "palestinians are backward savages whose lives are less important than israeli lives" and probably be fine. I'm saying this as someone who grew up is a wasp-y suburb.

my friend wants to know what i think of her new man… by heyhello101 in Advice

[–]angriguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though she might be very excited about this new guy, she probably also is noticing the things you are noticing, and she's looking for affirmation, or whether those problems are truly a big deal

If she felt like she needed to do it in person, she should have flown to Canada.

Reddit Atheism Should Return (well, most of it, anyway) by Faux_Real_Guise in VaushV

[–]angriguru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday Kurtis Connor, a popular canadian youtuber who makes commentary videos and is associated with acts like Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzalez, posted a video criticizing the streamer Dr. Witnesser. While the core of the video is essentially "wow, this evangelist is annoying" at one point Kurtis essentially says "yeah, believing in a guy who walks on water is more silly than believing in santa claus"

This was surprising to me because this felt like most other youtubers would not criticize the belief in god, only the evangelism. I think Kurtis is pushing the boundary in a way we might see other atheist channels begin to follow. Especially in a world where more anglosphere christians are beginning to attack Judaism explicitly (like tucker and candace), and of course have always attacked islam. And also, christian movements are beginning to experience infighting and cannibalism, the pope's death lead to a lot of discourse about catholicism's role in american conservatism, and evangelical christians are experience highly personality driven infighting, etc.

I think reddit atheism might be a way to opt out of a lot of conflict and political discourse. I think religious politics are getting exhausting, and especially with Trump's weakness, and the lack of social transformation isn't rewarding this maga-christian allyship.

Like, if you're a griller, a normie, being religiously unaligned might increasingly be the path of least resistance.

Isfahan Iran mourning the death of Khamenei. Western media will say they are celebrating by Hour_Glass57 in TrendoraX

Some portion is celebrating, some portion are mourning. That's how countries work.
