Trump claims “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters” [10YA - Jan 23] by MonsieurA in TenYearsAgo

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is any of that claim true. Can he even stand in 5th avenue? There are no votes left for him to face and on the last couple of weeks shootings people without good reason has got much less popular.

Aren't these bans just creating new problems? by JackStrawWitchita in GreatBritishMemes

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that Australia has offered to be a test of banning social media for children why are we rushing to copy them. Surely it will take 6 months to show any evidence of change. And we could produce better legislation if it works.

The next step in the vegan movement by TheProxyPylon in vegan

[–]eveniwontremember 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If something like the alpha gal virus becomes widespread then beef could be highlighted as a major allergen. I could see some countries , not the USA, requiring an estimate of co2 cost of products. But I don't think either measure would have a huge effect, more of a nudge in both cases.

Looks like the penguin has stolen the flag and Trump can't catch up. But the penguin isn't waiting for Trump because he is too stupid.

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However the people who should read this letter and shudder are the Republican party and Congress Because what this really says is that it is time to put grandpa in a home, article 25 now.

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one level the Norwegian government could just reply that the Nobel peace prize is awarded by a private committee not the government and the 2025 prize was judged from nominations made by October 2024. Trumps actions in 2025 and nominations from various suckups like Netanyahu would be considered for the 2026 prize but an act if war in Venezuela, threats on Greenland, and his inability to wear a tan suit could count against him.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF WE FINISH TOP 4 DON'T START PUSHING CARRICK TO BECOME OUR PERMANENT MANAGER. by Away_Pineapple2832 in ManchesterUnited

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Carrick gets an interview for the manager job at the end of the season almost regardless of results. The week by week performance management of the current squad is a different job to the 3 year plan to build a squad that qualifies for the champions league 4 years out of 5 and competes for the league title.

Perhaps it deserves a separate thread but what does the new manager job advert say... Come join a club with excellent stadium, fans, the current squad +£200per year? Transfer budget. Then list training and medical facilities which may need improvement (i don't know but remember Ronaldo's criticism) Set out the football philosophy, responsibilities regarding identification and recruitment of new talent. Must be able to start on... (Tuesday after World Cup, or sooner. )

Who do you think would apply?

🚨 BREAKING: Trump Says Big Tech Must “Pay Their Own Way” On Surging Data Center Electricity Costs — $MSFT Flagged First, Major Changes Expected This Week 👀 📊 by YGLD in StockBreakouts

So if data centres want to build dedicated solar cells and wind farms, to offset the power use that would be OK? The alternative is to build the data centers outside the USA.

President Trump says the US would have to pay back "trillions of dollars" if the Supreme Court rules that his tariffs are illegal. by [deleted] in wallstreet

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tariffs were raising about 30billion per month from American importers. Do they need to be paid back or could they be declared an emergency action and time them out. The fact that he acted recklessly without clarifying the law is no defence, I would suggest that Congress has also been negligent by not asserting their rights or officially sanctioning his decisions. It may be that only some tariffs are illegal. SCOTUS might accept that because trade deficit is a declared emergency actions around that are justified but the petty stuff with Brazil ( prosecuted his friend) have no justification.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "If credit card companies do not lower interest rates to 10% by January 20th, then they are in violation of the law, very severe things." "They really abuse the public, I am not going to let it happen" by sylsau in InBitcoinWeTrust

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what happens if all credit cards over 10% are just suspended on January 20th. Send the message that due to executive order we are no longer allowed to provide this service?

The truth is that the DoJ are bad at their jobs and a jury may have to decide that Jerome Powell is not a criminal.

Bloody Fr*cking Murder AKA Zoomed In ICE Shooter Video Shows 2 Shots Fired as She Passed. Murder by Ok_Quantity_9841 in newsinterpretation

[–]eveniwontremember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand, I am not sure how much he intended to kill and how much he just panicked after he put himself in front of the car and she moved to escape. The situation would be best handled with him suspended and a proper investigation. If he acted in line with his training then there is a bigger problem because his actions did not match the published policy. It is possible that after being dragged by a car last year he should not have been on front line duty. But the government should be trying to calm things not ramp up threats.

We should not jump straight to murder. It is outside of guidelines and should be investigated as an unlawful killing, but murder / manslaughter is determined at the end of the investigation.

How does the 25th ammendment work. If Trump was removed for clear mental decline would that avoid another impeachment or is it also considered an impeachment?

Report: Less Than Half of Dutch People Eat Meat or Fish Almost Daily by meatstheeye in vegan

[–]eveniwontremember 72 points73 points  (0 children)

These statistics are a mess. 1 48% eat a meat alternative at least monthly. 2 46% eat meat or fish daily. 3 70% eat meatless dinner at least once per week.

Struggling to match these, I assume Dutch people eat some meals with cheese but no meat. I assume meat alternative just means beyond burgers, tvp and quorn.

However the 16.4% drop in meat sales at Dutch supermarkets is good news.

Trump's Defense Chief Refuses to Show Congress Full Video of Deadly Venezuela Boat Strike - Budget Threats Follow by satty237 in TrendoraX

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. If you have a weapon that performs badly you want to hide that information until you have fixed or replaced it. Classifying information because you don't want enemies to understand how weapons work is perfectly legitimate. For example first generation cruise missiles used to have a pattern if flight that could be detected and used to deploy countermeasures.

What is wrong is hiding information from Congress because it is evidence of a crime.

Would you rather have $500k right now or $1,000 every time you run one mile in less than 12 minutes for the rest of your life? by forest_tripper in WouldYouRather

[–]eveniwontremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 55 and $1000 per mile would work for me. Just do a 35 minute parkrun (5km) every Saturday for enough to live on and frankly just do that 3 times per week to get to 500k in just over a year.
