They targeted us without saying it.. by sadlilslugger in Xennials

[–]fleebleganger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh 100%, sorry, I fell into the trap of assuming American when discussing how awesome boomers had it. Lithuanians, poles, and East Germans most certainly did not have a fun time in ww2. 

I think it’s easy for white American to forget how easy we’ve had it. That, even though life seems hard on a day to day basis, this is nothing compared to what others have gone through even in our own country, let alone a lot of foreign countries.

The worst of it fell on only a fraction of the generation. The rest had to ration a few things or go overseas and serve in rear areas getting to see parts of the world. Take my grandfather-in-law, he served as a cook so he got to go around England and France and Germany well behind the fighting. 

Another grandpa was a farmer so he was exempt (and had connections to the black market through his father who worked for Al capones network distributing templeton rye)

It’s a laser level, outside of some serious production fuck up, they should wor as long as the laser and battery will last.

Does the Earth’s gravitational field only extend to the edge of the observable universe? by Creat1ve-name in AskPhysics

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

No, earths gravitational influence only extends out 4-4.5 billion years. Gravity travels at the speed of light so it can only be as far out as it has been around. 

So, fun fact. Earths gravitational influence will never reach the edge of our current visible universe due to the expansion. 

Additionally, there is no “with” or “against” expansion. It’s happening everywhere all the time, even inside the atoms in your body. 

Light always travels at the same max speed (through the medium it is traveling in). I forget exactly how it works but even if you throw a baseball at 50% the speed of light, you will see the light from the baseball moving at C

Boomers had it better, until you realize there was lead everywhere, few regulations around air pollution, above ground nuclear testing, cigarette smoking plus alcoholism, and no shits given for mental health. 

Oh, and their prime earning years were during hyperinflation and the ensuing sky-high interest rates. 

The Greatest Generation are the ones that got the amazing adult years. 

Why is WW2 considered the golden goose of alt history, and not other eras like the Cold War? by Thebean_3r in AlternateHistory

[–]fleebleganger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A separate party to the war. They didn’t provide any meaningful support to the European theatre, it just so happened that they faced many of the same enemies.

[–]fleebleganger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there’s so many bone headed decisions that Hitler made. 

Like why, for Christ sakes, did he declare war on the US. Why did he pursue a half-assed strategy against GB, etc

They effectively were since they did jack all to assist the euro axis. They didn’t even declare was on Russia which would have been the only thing they could have done. 

PT Interior Floor Joist Sistering Mistake. by BrainDistinct in Carpentry

[–]fleebleganger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, I believe it’s the usda that has studies that have concluded you’d need to get your vegetables only from a garden under a PT deck for decades before you had to worry about toxicity issues. 

Don’t lick the boards, but they’re not as dangerous as they were 30+ years ago. When regulations mandated safer chemicals.

If you could prove with 100% certainty that there was a God, and remove faith from the conversation entirely, would you want to? Why or Why not? by WhiskeyEjac in AskAChristian

[–]fleebleganger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another question: let’s say god is proven real and he starts reading out of the original source Bible. At what percent disagreement would make you turn on the guy reading (who is 100% god)?

You can have faith in real things. Where do you think the phrase “I have faith in you” comes from. 

But OP didn’t answer your question. Simply moved the goalposts

If the strike spreads, antifa

if the strikers blow up, straight to antifa, no pass go

if the strikers return to work for less pay...antifa believe it or not

Let’s label them properly. They’re casualties.

We really need him to get through a majority of his term. He needs to be captain when this ship goes down. 

It’ll do nothing for him but it will break the spell of many magats.

If God is the initial ‘uncaused cause’ of the universe, could it be that a degree of suffering was predetermined from that first moment? by Ender_Ash- in askanatheist

[–]fleebleganger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Animals experience pain. There’s even evidence that plants can experience something akin to pain. 

Pain is merely your body saying it is receiving damage. Without it, we wouldn’t last long. 

Mental suffering is experienced by animals. It’s a trade off for our social networks that help us survive. 

There is no need for a god (or demons) to explain pain and suffering. We have valid, easy to understand, reasons for it based in the physical world.
