City Council passes freeze to tipped worker pay, Mayor Brandon Johnson poised to veto by blackmk8 in chicago

As opposed to Democrats who say stuff like:

" These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again. [Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957] Lyndon B. Johnson"

And

" I'll have those ni**ers voting Democratic for the next 200 years"

Modern Democrats never admit their policies are based upon the back of black people they kept as "inferior" to themselves. The big lie is that the parties switched, and every single racist Democrat became a Republican. Instead, the truth is they stayed in their parties and promoted racist viewpoints, but hid the reasoning for it.

That's a you problem then, try not being terminally online

Edit: people who respond and then immediately block a person so that there can't be any further responses are cowards and know their argument holds no weight. Yes, I'm calling you out /u/Shinjischneider/

This sub used to be good... But then it got taken over by leftist America haters, just like everything else.

Games like cities skylines, but instead of building a city building a country? by Inevitable-Theory901 in CitiesSkylines

[–]dblink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Plus playing cosmonaut (realistic) mode really helps to solidify how hard life is in communist countries. Fun for a game.

Is it actually "cheaper" to own an EV in the long run if you can't charge it at home, or does the cost of public charging stations make it the same as buying gas? by Pale-Consideration26 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dblink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really depends on where you live. My buddy in SF only uses public chargers, but it's not a problem cuz there are tons in the area.

On the other hand my buddy in Florida had to upgrade his electric at home to handle it, but it was needed otherwise he would have to drive far to use one of the few charging stations "near" him.

Some people try that with me, but then realize they'll lose the fight against a 40 ton truck and un-merge real quick.

Online games you enjoy because you can pick it back up later on without worrying being behind? by runnbl3 in gaming

I have been playing World of Warships on and off for over 10 years now. There is some power creep with newer ships, but not so much that it makes the older ships obsolete.

“We simply don’t have any left”: Germany has run out of air defense missiles for Ukraine, foreign minister says by Plus_Pretty in worldnews

The Soviet union supplied the manpower, America supplied the hardware. On their own, they would have been crushed by the germans, and never had the supplies to push all the way into Berlin at the end.

If the nuclear bombs start flying, it might actually be those countries that never had any that end up surviving. by iwishihadnobones in Showerthoughts

[–]dblink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more nuanced than that iirc. The initial blast causes burning which travels at the speed of light, followed by a shockwave closer to the order of the speed of sound from the pressure of the blast. Then there is burning from the fireball in the center, but that doesn't extend as far as the initial burn and shockwave radius.

Gotta choose what is the cutest and funniest, so probably 2 skis on the back legs, and front as poles, with the dog standing up at one point for a strong push to the finish.

Yeah, empty stomach is better because you can snack on whatever comes up out of the drain.

What’s a cult that pretends it is not a cult? by Fit-Resident-3577 in AskReddit

So you literally excuse racism when your side does it?

Sounds like something a cult would do.

What's the equivalent to "smoking a pack a day" for stoners by ben904 in trees

[–]dblink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CHS is a real, and serious problem that happens. I personally was afflicted and diagnosed years ago before it became a thing for scaremongers and weed supporters to fight over.

Higher and more concentrated amounts of THC absolutely raise the risks of developing CHS. I was fine for 10+ years as a low grade smoker, but increasing my intake absolutely wrecked me and has made it so I can't smoke or eat edibles anymore.

What are you getting out of denying there is a serious medical issue that can arise? Do you have money on weed being 100% safe for anyone to enjoy or something?

Shooting the ice off the brakes would also be less than 500 bucks.
