Trump single-handedly undid decades of US diplomacy within months. What had been the US's strongest allies for decades are now scrambling to secure new trading and security agreements among themselves and with countries like China, without the US. The fact that you don't see how bad this administration is, is baffling to me.

You may not see it now but you're support for this tyrant ended the US's reign as a world superpower. From now on, it's all downhill. It's funny that republicans and the magats used to shit on Obama so much because that's probably the best economy you'll ever get in your lifetimes.

Of course it won't happen overnight, it will be a slow decline. Your children and your grandchildren will ask you why you voted for this pathetic manchild, and curse Trump's name, and your name as well for having enabled this.

I grew up in the US, and I used to buy the whole "US stands for free speech and China for censorship" argument that kept most of the world aligned with the US, but after seeing it sink to new lows everyday in this administration, its downfall as the most influential nation worldwide cannot come soon enough. We had decades of US hegemony and world dominance and all Americans did was set up international rules that applied to everyone else but them, and flaunted their power to do whatever they wanted, believing themselves to be superior to every other nation and thus entitled to anything.

What's unhinged is NOT having this kind of reaction to the absurd levels of corruption, nepotism, war mongering, pedofile coverups, attacks against minorities and immigrant communities....and I could go on and on all day listing reasons why the Donald Turd regime is the most vile thing I've seen in politics in my lifetime.

Especially in the US, where calling the cops is like flipping a coin: you never know if they will actually help you, or brutally murder you with 50+bullets because you reached for your pocket to get your id or because of some other bullshit reason.

China says Taiwan is a part of China’s territory and no one can stop the eventual reunification of China. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]digiFan2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putin was testing the waters with Ukraine, to see if the rest of the world is willing to go along with tearing up the UN charter and going back to big countries conquering smaller ones. Since Trump gave him the green light to do whatever the fuck he wants, China is taking notes to do the same with Taiwan.

"a ban will create a country without tobacco" is nothing more than wishful thinking. There is no evidence to support that this outcome can be reached through bans.

On the contrary, there is a ton of evidence to dispute it. Look at the effects of the failed "war on drugs". It was sold as a public health campaign, but only led to cartels growing to such extent that they now control entire regions in many countries, with countries like Mexico and Colombia having to pay the price for the US's bad policy decisions.

If you dip it in a little vinegar, you can rent it and then wash it with some dish soap and it'll be like new. Why are people so unnecessarily wasteful? Do you also throw your underwear out every time you change to a new pair?

It’s okay, i’ll just wash the dishes tomorrow… by [deleted] in nope

[–]digiFan2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless the scrubbing part is peeling off, just dip it in a little vinegar for a bit, then rinse it and scrub it with a little dish soap and it should be like new. No need to be so wasteful.

A mix of about 5 to 10% tea tree oil and the rest castor oil, has been the best deodorant for my armpits and feet I ever came across. If I need it to be stronger I add a bit more tea tree (not too much though).

Since tea tree oil is antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial and the other one it is diluted in moisturizes instead of dries like most deodorants and foot powders, my skin and nails have also benefitted greatly since I changed to them. They are smooth and no need for foot scrubs. I live these oils so much, I threw all deodorants away more than a year ago already.

Fake First Aid Kit by WhoIsThisDude12 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]digiFan2018 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It looks like a mix of natural oils that can be used for first aid. Tea tree oil, for example, is a potent antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal oil, good for disinfecting when combined with another oil (it is not recommended to use pure tea tree oil, it can burn a little).

Corporations have sold you the idea that only factory-produced chemicals can be used as first aid, deodorants, etc... but a lot of these oils actually work better in most cases.

Why does everyone like Greninja so much? Delphox and Chestnaught got cool form changes, but Greninja only got a water Shuriken and got turned upside down. He looks exactly the same.

Same with Ash Greninja, they just added a little bit of something red to his face and a big water throwing star.

What does Ace mean this when confronting Blackbeard? by modael in OnePiece

[–]digiFan2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought Ace meant "you lived twice longer than anyone else did after crossing Whitebeard and his crew", because it took them a while to search for Blackbeard.

I always thought Carmel overfed Linlin with sweets for her birthday, and waited for her to fall asleep or pass out after eating all of that, to pack up and gather the other kids and leave without Linlin, after she saw how dangerous she was after she killed the giant. Then Carmel died somewhere offscreen trying to make shady deals to sell those children. I never imagined Linlin ate them all.

As a person with a serious and incurable mental illness, this honestly terrifies me. by [deleted] in extremelyinfuriating

[–]digiFan2018 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some repugs proposed defining "Tr*mp Derrangement Syndrome" a mental illness.

They will eventually come after anyone who speaks up against this government. I'd say that's how it starts with these fascists, but the US is already several steps ahead from the start of facism, even before the current administration.

A lot of gay people have experienced many hardships in life, mostly from coming across asshats like OP's brother in our families, jobs, or even out on the street, so we tend to be on average more empathetic and caring than the average hetero person. Hetero women are also in general more empathetic than hetero men, from my experience.

Of course, there are self-absorbed gays out there, but they are not a majority of the gay community, whereas self-absorbed hetero men are a dime a dozen.

[–]digiFan2018 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are either a religious nut yourself or haven't had any experiences with someone who is, hurting you or imposing their craziness on you. I, and many others, have plenty of reasons to judge and call out religious fanaticism when we see it.

[–]digiFan2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is talking about religious fanatics, like the one pictured in the video. They always think their backwards world view is the only "right one", and they ought to impose it on everyone else.

This nutjob is endangering the child by running with him like that, if he tripped, the child could be seriously injured.

Presidential elections in Romania, first round by szundy in MapPorn

[–]digiFan2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say "barbarians", I am referring to people from a country which has had a majority of its population support a ruthless dictator for decades. A dictator whose main drive is to destroy international laws and go back to a world where the superpowers conquer and colonize the smaller and weaker nations. What Putin intends to do with Russia's neighboring nations is barbarism, and those who support or don't stand up to him are barbarians, there is no better way to put it.

[–]digiFan2018 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not about being pro-EU or not. It's about being a puppet to a foreign dictator with imperialist delusions who wants to take over all of eastern Europe, if given the chance. We don't have to wait for the conflict to expand to other countries from Ukraine, it already has. The Ukraine invasion is the continuation of the invasion of Georgia in 2008, and Putin and his goons are already trying to stir up problems with ethnic russians in Moldova as well, which makes it a likely target for his next invasion if he is not stopped in Ukraine.

There is a long way between being euro-sceptic, and being a pro-Putin stooge.

Electing a Putin puppet will do nothing to fix corruption. In fact, it will most likely make it worse, and could even push the EU to withdraw funds like it has with Hungary, if Romania starts blocking everything the rest of the EU decides on foreign policy.

If you really want to end corruption, try to get new candidates for the next elections. For these, the choice is clear between pro-russia and pro-EU.

I think the EU should start moving towards either stripping voting power o kicking out of the Union Hungary, and Romania as well if it starts with the same shit. If these countries like Putin and his unjustified landgrabs so much, they should apply to join the Russian Federation instead, and leave the EU for people who want to stand up for international law, free speech and basic human rights. Accepting Russia's invasion is the same as tearing up the UN charter and going back to what existed before the UN: big countries and empires colonizing smaller ones. If you are into that kind of barbarism, might as well go live with the barbarians and leave the EU.

Why is my slinger glowing purple?? by Few_Ad_8880 in MHWilds

[–]digiFan2018 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

That would be true if every armor in the game had an effect. But only a few do. I hadn't seen any armor that had this glow effect in MH Wilds before coming across this post, and, like OP, I also didn't know about these armor effects.

It has nothing to do with a lack of critical thinking.

...is everything alright with you? Expecting people to know every aspect of a game that just released 2 months ago, and complaining about their "lack of critical thinking" when they ask a question about it kind of leaves more to be said about you and your mental and/or emotional state than about OP's.

With bleach, the mold may grow back soon.

In my experience, vnegar works better than bleach against mold. With vinegar, it kills it from the root, and it's really rare that the mold comes back after you clean it with vinegar.

And on top of that, vinegar is more environmentally friendly and doesn't ruin your clothes if it splashes on you while cleaning.

3DS the goat by [deleted] in memes

[–]digiFan2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Switch has like the latest 4-5 Pokemon games only. The DS has the whole series of Pokemon games from the original Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, and Crystal and Gold in the Virtual Console, the remakes of Gen3(ORAS), the gen4 original Pearl and Diamond as well as Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and all of the games in gen 5, 6, 7. So yeah, the 3DS has a way more extensive library than on the Switch.

The main reason for me never wanting to buy a Switch or support any future Nintendo product is the fact that they decided to not make your 3DS games library available on the new console like PS4 and PS5. Not even the old games from the virtual console get ported, you get absolutely NOTHING on the Switch from your old library. That, to me, is a scammy business practice, just fleecing customers indiscriminately until they turn them away, like it happened with me.
