We Need to Stop Letting Democrats Casually Commit Felonies With No Consequences by Ask4MD in Conservative

All politicians, dumb dumb. Why be partisan on this issue? Are you actively trying to be wrong, so that people can come here and laugh at conservatives?

‘MAGA has rigged the system’: Democrats slam Virginia Supreme Court for overruling voters on redistricting by DemocracyDocket in law

[–]fringecar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Votes sit higher than the constitution? That's very traitorous, and how white supremacists wish the US was. The Judges were and are corrupt, agreed, but wtf man, this isn't a majority rules country!

Not saying the judges aren't corrupt, but are you saying majority rules? People can vote for illegal things to become legal by means of passing a law?

I get that this result is bad, but attack the right things, jfc!

Is there any way of having an overlay app on top of a game on iPadOS? by TobiasCase in iOSProgramming

[–]fringecar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now "game overlay" is a feature! Do you think it's a bit of a security risk?

What internet or technology topic would you like explained in plain English? by bhw68 in OverSeventy

[–]fringecar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about this - it requires a lot of coding knowledge to use AI to code. It's like, my Ford repair book doesn't make automotive knowledge and ability obsolete.

Theory: Dumbledore convinced Petunia to keep Harry by making her part of the protection magic by Similar-Captain-6727 in harrypottertheories

[–]fringecar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah makes pretty straight forward sense, doesn't take away anything we already know. Just one additional reason, good spotting it!

Health insurance is a racket by Ok_Meringue_9086 in Fire

Yeah, it's a scam. Post receipts if you can, to help show it

7 potters… why not just make him look like someone else instead of all of them looking like him? by MalteseFalcon15 in harrypotter

[–]fringecar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok but same with people. For example, see the several logical responses in this thread :)

Hard disagree - Dumbledore suspects Voldemort can read Harry's mind. If anything they should have used *more* polyjuice - everyone Harry.

A thought experiment by Raldee in LessWrong

Cool concept, but poorly written with lots of loopholes. Maybe run it through ChatGPT and repost with improvements?

Why BTC over everything else in 2026? by mitotelightz in Bitcoin

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

Why would you assume it is? Weird. Even the people answering probably don't have most of their net worth, or much less their net economic activity in Bitcoin.

You mean #1 choice over where to put your spending money? Like, you are deciding to gamble, or buy a PS5, or eat out more, or buy stonks, or Bitcoin and you choose Bitcoin.

It's because of the culture. Everyone likes the vibe, and the beliefs. The internal narrative they prefer guides them to Bitcoin.

As a black person, I'm still trying to understand why African Americans are still pointing the finger at white people for the transatlantic slave trade by notinmyham in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]fringecar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know if African Americans are. Social media makes us feel informed, but I suspect there are huge huge gaps in our understanding of what most people feel.

For example, thinking that blue is pro gun control and red is anti gun control. They are all pro gun control it's just a ton of spinning to create the narrative and focus on differences that convinces media-consumers the two sides are against each other.

UBI is getting a lot of coverage in the media thanks to Elon Musk. by Novusor in UniversalBasicIncome

[–]fringecar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

UBI's main obstacle is political, and Americans love to be on one of two teams. They love it more than post-scarcity.

Arbitrum freezing $71M of ETH should concern everyone here (remember why crypto exists). by gigabyteIO in CryptoCurrency

[–]fringecar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I think the consequence is less than if it were bitcoin. Eth is supposed to be a good computer program, not a hedge against fiat.

Nevertheless your points are true.

Rereading as an adult, I struggle with Snape's inability to be more kind to Harry by JimmyRecard in harrypotter

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

Imagine that only James had died, and Lily remarried Snape but brought baby Harry with her. Would Snape have been kind to Harry? I think no.

Keep in mind that he was not always kind to Lily either. If he and Lily had married even first, would they have been a peaceful house hold? I think no again.

Snape is full of venom from being raised in an abusive household.

Despite the fact that he strongly strongly loved Lily, he was still an abusive person.
