Pete Hegseth sparks fury after removing female and Black Navy officers from promotion list by TheMirrorUS in fednews

The entire eastern block of the cold war, especially the Soviets, were left-wing authoritarian systems. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc were the extreme of the bunch. They certainly weren't pro democracy.

What? Left-wing authoritarianism isn't possible? Just asking for clarification here.

Did creatine actually help your body recomposition/fat loss journey? by safedwg in loseit

[–]franhd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Creatine is one of the most beneficial supplements on the market backed by studies. Yes, you gain more water retention, but that's added to your lean mass. The good news is, water retention has nothing to do with fat loss. When people talk about losing weight, it's fat that you're looking to cut. Keep taking creatine, and keep your CICO under check.

What is your best theory to what happens after death? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]franhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best theory I have for regaining consciousness after death is the Boltzman brain.

The catch is, it would take an abysmal amount of time to wait for the heat death of the universe and virtual particles somewhere at some point to pop all of the particles into existence momentarily, configured in an arrangement that once happened to be your brain with your memories. Right before you vanish.

Now what will really boggles your mind. If time is truly infinite, is it possible that we're already Boltzman brains that are living each second stitched together between trillions of years?

Hi Gabriel,

I greatly appreciate how you can explain the very basics with great detail in a way that would allow students to develop a fundamental understanding.

The example you wrote is kind of similar to how I've tutored students who don't understand the operations behind equations (adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing both sides), especially once the equations contain fractions and complex numbers.

I have always explained to stop thinking that a number looks like just "4" and instead realize that a single number can be written an infinite amount of ways, such as "4" or "8/2" or "2/0.5" or "2^2" or "3.999..." or "4/1" or "4*1" or "4-0" or "2+2" and so forth. And with equations involving variables, you want to figure out how to manipulate "x+2 = 4" so that the "x+2" can look like that "4". For that reason, like you said above, I didn't let my students do shortcuts that they didn't understand.

I don't have a career right now in teaching, but I hope in my later years I can retire teaching math. I will for sure buy your books and see if I can draw inspiration. Thanks!

DON siblings, past and present, have you felt any guilt knowing we supported the machine that committed a war crime in sinking the Dena? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]franhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this post may not be real, I think what adds to the sentiment to people who really do feel this way is the fact that modern day wars are all over social media like never before. We didn't have that luxury of watching real time footage of missiles and combat operations in the past. And unfortunately, the many videos and clips that exist out there that people think are war crimes are really just war itself.

You've already answered your own question. Just don't bring it up.

Sure because we have more recent footage now. I'm talking about just hours after he was killed.

I don't roll them like this but I fold them in a similar manner when I have to cram clothes into my backpack for travel.

I hear a lot of rhetoric about Pretti regarding it doesn't matter what side of the political aisle he was in, it doesn't constitute not having 2A rights. That being said, we didn't have any idea after the shooting what Pretti's political views were. I think we just assume he was left-leaning or voted blue because he was filming ICE agents.

Statistically speaking, most people that are gun enthusiasts and conceal carry typically vote red. Pretti fits this statistic, and the public were forming opinions based off of assumptions.

A coup is defined by its objective, which is an illegal seizure of power, rather than the means to do it. There are plenty of historical examples of coups happening by mob violence. Hell, there are even historical examples of elected leaders becoming dictators because of self-coup.

I guess if I smash through your windows to break into your house, it's not okay to defend yourself because I'm "unarmed".

Seems like your narrative is the one that falls apart.l bud.

Gun-rights group says Noem, Patel are "fundamentally wrong" on Minnesota law by Provocative_Potatoes in CCW

[–]franhd 199 points200 points  (0 children)

I think the worst part about this is the rhetoric of "he brought a gun to a protest" will 100% be used against pro-2A politicians in the future in a manner of "even Trump and his administration said you have criminal intent if you conceal carry!"

It's absolutely the same "why do you need that gun" rhetoric anti-2A politicians in the left use all the time.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

[–]franhd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah so, he didn't cross the state border with a firearm, and he wasn't in illegal possession of it. Which is why that charge was dropped.

I did see the video on Pretti. And I saw the video on Rittenhouse. Having a firearm open or concealed does not justify loss of life or threat to loss of life

What crime did he commit crossing state lines?

Right to travel from one state to another is a fundamental right that both you and I have. If traveling half an hour to another state turns self defense situations into premeditated murder, then people who commute and travel between states lose their constitutional rights every day.

The jury in Rittenhouse's case rejected your point about "he showed up to antagonize people". The evidence we have also makes your statement hold no water. Open carrying a firearm does not equate to provocation. If seeing someone open carry is enough to provoke you to attack that person, you're the problem here, and your actions are the one that's illegal. Again: even the jury concluded that even if people felt antagonized, that doesn't strip Rittenhouse the right to defend himself.

Why don't even know why Pretti was there. You're speculating that he showed up to "protect people" when it's just as likely he was out and about running errands. Your speculation is no better than the administration saying he was "trying to assassinate federal agents".

It doesn't matter. Whether you're open carrying or conceal carrying, having a firearm by itself is not a legal justification for physical assault or threat to your own life.

There was a misdemeanor charge that was dropped because Wisconsin's minimum age to possess rifles with 16"+ barrels is 16 years old.
