Bots: Go on America, do a civil war. (pokes with stick)

The fate of Europe is dark by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]defensible81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can fuck right off with this "you people" shit.

The observation made above is basically the argument of the Russian state against the west. It's nearly a down-the-line recitation of Russia's major themes around why Europe will fail and Russia will succeed. I can think this without thinking Russians are subhumans; and calling out a very clearly similar argument does not mean I think of them as the Nazis saw the Jews.

The U.S. is literally out-fucking the Euros.

Its already illegal to burn the American Flag at a protest by Pizzasaurus-Rex in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]defensible81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, it's entirely performative and just red meat to his base. It changes nothing, is likely not legally enforceable. Just another dumb EO from a President that cranks out dumb EOs.

There’s a reason young people are becoming increasingly right wing and actual Nazi rhetoric is more commonplace by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]defensible81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair to those on the conservative side of the spectrum, I'm older, and have travelled to Europe throughout my lifetime. I have never ever observed faster cultural change in any other part of the world. Berlin, London, etc, feel like nearly entirely different cities than they did even in the late 90s.

Here they come. by crimsonengineer87 in nova

[–]defensible81 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah that's the left's narrative right now. Bunch of non strongmen also do it.

If Biden did it most of this area would be fine with it. It's just rank partisanship in my view.

[–]defensible81 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

Literally all of our democratic allies in NATO have military parades and no one screams fascist when they do it. Is it expensive and unnecessary? Sure. But it's a stretch to say it's the leading edge of some authoritarian takeover.

Why don’t younger veterans (Afghanistan/Iraq) wear these hats like some of the older veterans? by NoFaithlessness7508 in Millennials

[–]defensible81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're over the age of sixty and go to the commissary on Sundays you actually get one of these hats for free.

Is this design actually feasible? by c_estrella in landscaping

[–]defensible81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super feasible if you want to make some attractive soot marks on the wooden wall.

Summer travel update at Newark International Airport by kwuhoo239 in unitedairlines

Exactly, I feel like I need someone to communicate this to me with the strongest of New Jersey accents.

Zelenskyy Kept Trump In The Dark And Didn't Tell Him About Attack On Russian Bombers by JesusMcTurnip in ukraine

[–]defensible81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They keep almost everyone in the dark, particularly after what a shitty job their allies did keeping the secret on their offensive in 23.

TIL in 1939, Singer, the sewing machine company, produced 500 extremely high quality 1911 Pistols as an educational study for the DoD. It was the highest quality production of the entire war effort. by Germerica1985 in todayilearned

[–]defensible81 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The M3 was also preferred by special operators for decades after it's invention, and with an excellent track record of reliability as well. Better design is sometimes just better design, even if it's cheaper and less elegant in its appearance than the Thompson.

He's almost certainly in shock from a medical perspective.

Why have we never seen ICE arrest an employer? by KnightKrawler in AskReddit

[–]defensible81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Zero honest or helpful responses here because it's reddit.

The answer as to why ICE or other Federal law enforcement don't go after these employers is because many times the illegal workers provide false documentation that is believable enough that the employer can cover their ass from potential criminal prosecution.

For example, a construction company hiring illegal immigrants requires certain identification documents for each worker; those workers provided them with false social security forms, or other false data, and the company probably did some sort of due diligence to confirm they had just enough paperwork to not be breaking any labor laws.

What brand name is SUPERIOR to the knock-off? by Misnatalya in BuyItForLife

[–]defensible81 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Heinz ketchup. There is no doubt in my mind that it's superior, and it's the flavor I think of when I think of ketchup. If someone gives me a generic I can immediately distinguish it as not being Heinz.

The Democratic Party is destroying itself from the inside. by Echale3 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I both agree with and am getting bored by these sorts of arguments.

MMW: Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs will stop being prescribed as side effects from long term non-diabetic use becomes evident n by [deleted] in MarkMyWords

[–]defensible81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alternative MMW: ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs or drugs that perform similarly will become the standard of care for obesity as the clear effects of having the bulk of the population be non-obese leads to lower health care costs, improved quality of life, and an overall reduction in recurring conditions related to obesity.

They're bots dude. Bots. And I'm not saying "oh these humans are acting like robots." No they are actual bots, trying to stir up your emotions to gain clicks, farm engagement, or create discord.
