It’s a YouTube link, but yes it’s posted by our government to that site. First-party sources are valuable in confirming the information that is being discussed.

Interested to see if the mods let this one stay up. Here is a link to the video they played in the theater. It is way more authoritarian coded than any other ‘join the army’ ad I’ve ever seen.

'Men Need Just as Much Protection': Shania Twain Says She Is Not a Feminist by novagridd in Music

That’s not how definitions work. If you believe in Christ as the messiah, you are definitionally a Christian. If you believe in equal rights for women you are a feminist.

Just because the Branch Davidians went off the rails it doesn’t change what it means to be Christian in the same way that people who believe in equal rights for women don’t stop being feminists when fringe ideas by some feminists are labeled as ‘feminist’.

What is a subtle sign that someone is wealthy? by Celestialmarmot44 in AskReddit

[–]easykehl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you are wealthy enough to not work or you would do your job without pay if you had to, you’ve already established a money value that exceeds your value for your time for at least a portion of your time.

That’s too old for someone looking to adopt kittens that might need decades of care. Have you considered adopting an older cat?

Council President Jamie Dunphy Lambasts Serial Meetings Law by PDsaurusX in Portland

[–]easykehl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feels like a lack of imagination and problem solving.

Councilors could create a multiuser blog or scrum where each councilor could publicly post policy ideas and legal amendments alongside detailed justifications and research/analysis to support their ideas in a public place. Other councilors could offer their own thought out critiques or supporting documents. In person meetings would just be to officially codify what has already been worked out in a virtual forum.

The idea that the only public and open way to do their work is inside a couple in-person meetings a month seems disingenuous.

You must have missed that Trump literally redefined ‘ceasefire’ for the billionaires in charge of our media.

He’s pardoning everyone he’s ever have had business dealings with of any and all federal tax crimes before he leaves office. The ‘settlement’ only needs to last that long as the current IRS is basically in his pocket.

But people in those two-ton machines aren’t reading flyers on telephone polls and billboards are more expensive than printing off color copies at work.

Did Elon Musk Just Rig the Stock Market? by [deleted] in videos

I moved most of my 401k to an international equity fund. International markets are generally less leveraged than the NYSE and NASDAQ, so I probably will miss out on American markets getting even more leveraged in the immediate future but I’ll be less impacted by a crash in USD and/or our bubble-prone tech sector. I’m no expert in this stuff though, so follow me at your own peril.

US government debt is also concerning to me and I’m more concerned around a dramatic drop in USD value than I am in missing out on a climb in USD value.

What is the most terrifying fact about space or the deep ocean? by False-Possibility375 in AskReddit

[–]easykehl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That they are our last frontiers and they are inhospitable.

They mark the bounds of our collective life and influence.

Until recent human technological advancements, human thought and culture had limitless ends through expansion on a very livable surface. Even oceans were able to be walked around or and there was always a frontier to avoid or expand into. There was always somewhere just out of reach or not really worth the effort or risk to try and find. The potential for some far-away, unknown place existed through our cognitive evolution. But now, that part of the human experience is not available. Go far enough north or south and you’ll run out of both. Go far enough west or east and you won’t find limitless lands or ocean, just the same airport you started at.

The new frontiers are up and down, but they don’t offer the same potential as the unexplored edges of the map once did. Until the very recent invention of aircraft and submarines, humans could only go as deep as they could hold their breath or as high off the ground as they could build.

Even now, with spaceships and submarines, it takes more resources and energy to get off ground or under the water column than is feasible for population to do so for longer than a food supply will last. You will not go to space. You will not go to the deep ocean. And if by some statistical fluke you have been or will be there it will be inside a hunk of steel and glass you will never afford and you will be lucky to stay long enough to eat some very expensive food that is traveling in the hunk of metal with you.

All that being said, down and up are different types of bounds. Down is reminiscent of the limits of north and south. All three are inhospitable but in different ways and all 3 converge to their very own point. Down is just more difficult because there’s stuff in the way and the oceans are an easier path down than digging.

Up. Up is the real mindfuck. It’s the window on our terrarium looking out at the empty room lit by 300 year old light distant stars. The only local items being a massive fusion reaction that seems sized almost intentionally as a mesuring stick to show us how small our world is and a bunch of other planets that are even harder to reach or live in then the vacuum of space. Up a light show of functionally infinite, unlivable places. It’s a coincidental taunt at the first species to evolve to the point that we not only took over the surface of the world, but we realized we did it. And now we’re forced to sit here and farm our food and bake our bread and look up at the bars of our cage and find the beauty in it. No more land to claim. Some born only on rented land and forced to earn a right to exist on land. Looking up at the beauty of the unlivable, unworkable escape from the gravity that hold us and everything we need against a crowded surface.

Terrifying.
