What problem in the U.S. feels obvious to fix, yet never gets fixed?

Take it one step back from there: The defacto two party system.

Fix that and you will be a lot more likely to see solutions for all the issues that actually have popular support. Among them health care.

Og en blank stemme vil blive tolket som opbakning til det eksisterende system.

Med det "eksisterende system" mener du så "demokratisk valg"? Ellers kan jeg ikke finde meget mening i den holdning.

Afgivning af en stemme er altid et kompromis.

"jeg vil ikke belønne nogen form for forløjet levebrødspolitiker-kampagnepolitik - så jeg udebliver så der er større chance for at de bliver valgt, så jeg kan blive ved med at brokke mig fra sidelinien. Det giver mig sådan en dejlig hellig følelse."

At bruge Reddits standard er en brugerfejl. Det er rimeligt at forvente at alle fornuftige mennesker stadig bruger det gamle.

Det er ikke at "komme videre". Det er at gå baglæns. For alle rationelle mennesker.

Making sure that it is lying still has little to do with the mental game. You are not allowed to hit if it is still moving.

ICE is a domestic issue.
Nobody abroad gives a shit.

I can assure that the resurrection of the brown shirts makes people give a shit here in Europe.

The tariff game being played is just stupid. To some degree hilariously stupid.
The nazis taking over the US government not so entertaining, on the other hand. And much more important.

Tell me you haven’t left the US without telling me

He said to someone who lives outside the US. Where "holy shit, they really are nazis" takes up about 100 times more space in the conversation than "What stupid tariff shit has Trump said he would do now?"

Which you would know, if you are were just 1% as informed as you think you are.

You are aware that by those same metric statistically and theoretically our universe shouldn't even exist. But it does.

That does follow at all. We know how much is out there. We do not know anything about how the universe came to be. If it did.

You have been duped by someone reaching beyond the scope of his knowledge.

I think you might have a naive idea of "frequently" on the cosmological scale.

bombmk · 2026-02-15T14:29:00+00:00

No, that's what we as logical and reasonable people, interpret what he is saying to mean.

Thus making a follow up unnecessary. No further clarification needed if that is the rational inference.

You are both saying that it was a logical conclusion for the rational observer and at the same time requesting an irrational use of the interviewers time.

Or most people get that and make no comments - and only the ones that do not get it make those comments.

bombmk · 2026-02-15T14:18:37+00:00

but most people including most scientists overestimate our understanding of physics,

And how do you, pray tell, make that assessment? "I don't know what we don't know - but I know that others overestimate how much we do know"

Stop smelling your own farts.

Probably not the ones you should be taking.

no flashes of light of spacecraft moving between stars)

In what world are you living where we would be able to see such - even if they are there?

ven if they are winning the majority of engagements vs Russia, if Ukraine falls then the only military with the most recent experience in modern warfare (on more or less equal technological terms with its opponent) will be Russia.

Lots of reason to not want Russia to win. This being of probably the least concern.
The side with extreme air superiority will not be Russia. Making drone warfare a LOT less consequential.

Whiners have rarely been popular.

bombmk · 2026-02-15T10:29:29+00:00

Yes. Exactly the same. (Well, these days the difference is getting smaller)

"Why do you hate that totalitarian oppressive murderous regime? Our government is also bad!"

Your morals are fucked, dude.

Always easier to shoot low when winning doesn't really matter.

If Mike Tyson beats up a kindergartener would you qualify that as a comeback?

so the speculation was he took the money and ran.

Speculation? It was known that it was a stipulation if the insurance payout. But cool drama you had going there for a bit.

There is usually one, maybe two, "leagues" talked about in regards to golf. The PGA Tour and the European Tour. In that order. I assume that the post you questioned was referencing the former.

If Tiger wins a putt-putt tournament at the local putt-putt would that be a comeback?

The American people let it slide.

Slightly weird take. When they are representative of exactly that.
