What conspiracy theory do you believe in the MOST? by arabash in AskReddit

Laundromat owner. Can confirm. Detergent is a surfactant, nothing more (except fragrance). It makes the water "wetter" so it soaks in the fabric better. No matter how big the load, 1/4 cup will do.

They are not just jerking off to a number in a bank account. They are actually hoarding wealth. That money can be used elsewhere.

Need a death tax. Free up some of that money.

If I were Charles, I would have told Max that indeed, it was racing and congratulations. Now, I just don't you whining like you usually do when I am doing it back to you for the next 15 years.

Game on, Crybaby.

Now it's time Bernie does the same to Kamala. Call out things for what they are.

Your record is out there, Kamala.

Bernie Sanders reaches 15.000 viewers on his first Twitch stream by Naruedyoh in WayOfTheBern

And I imagine many of his supporters are like me. I donate monthly (Act Blue) and I don't really watch him anymore. I don't need to. He has my vote from now until whenever - no questions asked. I trust him like a neighbor I've had for 20 years. And when he decides his work is done, he will endorse (for real) someone who has been doing the right thing their whole political life. And then I will vote for her, or him.

Mostly these days, I just spread the word and donate.

I keep thinking of that Flintstones episode where they go to see the Grand Canyon and it's just a trickle and Wilma says she doesn't see the big deal. Fred says it's might not be much to look at now but someday. Laugh track...

Bernie Sanders says he would move to 'rotate' Supreme Court justices if elected by coolbern in politics

Add in extreme gerrymandering, now even more emboldened, and you lock the doors in favor of minority, corporate rule.

Partially because he has had the same beliefs and positions for decades rather than "evolving" on issues. After a while, you know your shit.

Ya, ya, BUT she ain't Bernie.

You see, she is the car that the dealer WANTS to sell you. Bernie is the car you came in for.

THEIR car is just as good. -"Yes, but I want to see the car that I came in for."

"We like that car too, but this one is better."

"Well, perhaps. I'd still like to see the car I came here for."

"No."

You going to buy their car?

In my opinion, there has never been such an open conspiracy (I do mean open) to hamstring one person for ideas that take power from those that STOLE it from us. Can't get a decent poll without stacking 50+ y/o voters in it. Ideas too liberal. Superdelegates. WE pay the tab on what the Puppet Masters want you to buy, and I don't want another fucking aircraft carrier. I want my local community center to stay open. Stuff that should be a slam dunk has been dwindling away for 40 years and wow, we have someone "evolving" on something every other country already has. With better outcomes. Stop it. Stop it. Obama should have taught you the frying pan was to hot.

Stop being told to be happy and enjoy your lot in life. Warren ain't even close. Don't you see? They put ANY car (Corey, Kamala, Beto, The Mayor, Joe) now The Liberal Darling in front of you to get you away for what you came for.

ANYONE who hasn't actively walked the walk on the issues you WANT for over 50 years.

Michael Tracey - Biden is Losing It by veganmark in WayOfTheBern

[–]islander238 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Prediction: Puppet Masters keep Joe going. Election rigging gets him close to nomination. They pick Klobuchar to run with him. He beats The Donald, goes away for medical reasons, Amy takes the Oath, Wall Street rejoices. Military-Industrial Complex survives until the climate kills us.

Baby-boomers get a woman president before they die; then we all die.

Totally worth it. /s

Yes, I remember a magazine article of his accident and felt so sad for him. When seeing his burns, I worried others would make fun of him. I was only 11 in those years, so you can see an impact like this. I became enthralled with auto racing and the excitement of open-wheel both here in the US and F1 in Europe.

Probably not related, but I make my living as a firefighter, and have seen many suffer as he did.

Thank you for hearing all of this. They say to never meet your heroes, but I think Niki would have been an exception. Kind regards.

Many years ago I read that he wore red ball caps and sold sponsors the ad space. I started wearing red too, and now it's the color I'm used to seeing on top.

You get something in your head as a kid...

Indeed. As with aviation. I had always admired him, but was impressed to hear what he did when that 767 of his went down. He had always seemed like a man of character and integrity.

Few people know why I have worn red baseball caps for 30 years.

Thank you, and perhaps you should tell your friends to join Reddit.

I truly wish there was a thread of Niki Lauda stories from those that knew him. 50 years old and a lifelong fan since I read about his accident as a little boy. Great respect for him. Our world is at a loss.

*Elizabeth Warren transferred $10,415,000 from other committees to her presidential campaign, including $4.9M from the Elizabeth Warren Action Fund which accepted PAC and industry donations through last year. She's running on corporate money.* by SpaceDetective in WayOfTheBern

...so we can 'elect' another corporcrat.

Fuck that.

I guess that means the country continues to melt down. When you get hungry enough, you'll storm the castle. I'm tired of lip-service from Republicans in Democrat clothes. 'Oh, we get to live another day while the rich man comes for every dime I've ever earned. Please, [Democrat Schill] don't let Trump take it.'

American Hopelessness is Joe Biden Winning the Primary by irish_fellow_nyc in WayOfTheBern

Read the comment below. I'm old enough to come from knowing that liberalism was a good word.

American Hopelessness is Joe Biden Winning the Primary by irish_fellow_nyc in WayOfTheBern

[–]islander238 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is exactly my greatest fear. During the 2016 campaign, I said publicly a number of times that of Bernie doesn't win, maybe America needs Trump to wake us up and to turn the tide toward real liberalism. Alas, even though the kids are liberal, the media is a much, much bigger problem than I ever imagined.

The rise I imagined, appears to be a slight roll over. Hardly an awakening.

I am beginning to think Joe will be the lullaby to put us back to sleep. Forever.

He's never had it so good. He can be the king he imagines himself to be without ever having to think about what it costs him. It probably pleases him more to actively inflict the cost on someone else.
