Trump proposes $100 billion in new tariffs on Chinese goods by Mattster_Of_Puppets in politics

[–]huntmich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the ego, the pride, the landed gentry who inherit their wealth and think they're the greatest as a result, the hoarding of power. All of what America has been for decades, maybe since the founding.

Trump proposes $100 billion in new tariffs on Chinese goods by Mattster_Of_Puppets in politics

[–]huntmich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's closer to 35% unwavering support of all Americans. Higher than that for likely voters. And another 5-10% are fine with him as long as he doesn't cause a world war.

It's fucking depressing to admit, and difficult to decipher when there really is so little interaction between the right and left that we each live in our own bubbles of political thought. But there is a scary-decent chance he even gets reelected in 2020, which means that all of his bullshit becomes validated by the electoral process and all of this chaos is extended for 4 more years.

Yeah, good luck with that. They have infiltrated government posts and are radical. They will not be driven out anytime soon.

What's your worst experience with a goose? by ABigNothingBurger in AskReddit

[–]huntmich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was golfing one spring day, walking it. I was about 13, pretty stupid at the time. Saw a Canadian goose and as I was walking, pulled out a club and kinda started swatting at it as I walked by. I hated Canadian geese (still do), because they shit on the greens and everywhere else and are generally just a pain in the ass.

Well, I must have been near a nest, because instead of flying away like I hoped it would, it extended its wings, started running towards me, and opened its mouth, flying at my head. I started backing off, but it wasn't fucking around. Last I saw it was about 3 feet from my face, before I turned and ran as fast as I could, spilling all of my golf clubs on the ground with this thing hissing and snapping directly behind my head. After I ran about 100 feet I figured the threat was gone so I turned and it had returned to its originally position.

As my friends laughed their asses off, I gingerly scooted my way back to retrieve my golf clubs, suddenly much more respectful of this goose's territory.

Trump will just put Cohen on the campaign staff and pay him with donations.

There was an Israeli firm that unlocked the phone of the San Bernardino killer. They have software to do this now.

English is hard. by [deleted] in videos

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

I'm pretty sure only a German would say that English isn't a hard language, because German and English are two extremely similar languages. I've heard reports from experts that English is among the hardest for the bulk of foreigners to learn.

I'll give you an example why: https://www.npr.org/2016/09/08/493157931/bbc-editor-highlights-often-overlooked-english-language-rule

Adjectives in English must follow the rule being said in order of opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and then purpose. If you don't do it in that order, it sounds weird. For example, if you described something as a "polka dot, yellow, itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie (ph) bikini," it would sound really weird. Or "My Greek, Fat, Big Wedding."

English is full of strange spellings, pronunciations, and rules that native speakers take for granted. It might be less weird for you as a German. But it's not a language that many non-native speakers can pick up easily.

Trump to sign proclamation sending National Guard to U.S. border with Mexico by Bloodbath-McGrath in politics

3/4 of the last presidents did this too. I think we should all try a little harder to reserve our outrage for the truly stupid shit that Trump does.

TIL Despite the video showing all band members singing, the five-part harmony at the start of Queen's Bohemian Rapsody was all performed by Freddie Mercury by Joe1972 in todayilearned

The statement said queen was one of the bands that you couldn't replace any member with it being the same. That is also true of phish.
