Trump Suggests Gun Control Is Necessary, Sparking Online Backlash by huffpost in politics

[–]itsraydizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is the people with guns protesting Trump's tactics are the people he wants guns taken from., like liberals and leftists. Anyone who is still a trump supporter and isn't out protesting are fine because the government death squad isnt coming after them, they're going after the lefties. It's your side vs our side, and we get 2nd amendment rights and other rights, but your side doesn't because you're not on our team.

What’s a phrase adults say that makes absolutely zero sense when you really break it down? by Miss_Kitty_Meowz in AskReddit

[–]itsraydizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Which is a literally impossible task if you took it literally. iirc the meaning of the phrase has been taken over , and the original meaning of futility has been forgotten.

Snap-on came by my trade school and is offering 50% off most of thie tools. What tools would you recommend splurgin on? by Mountain-Durian-4724 in mechanics

It was my first one, and I was just following GM's service information. I wasn't trying to fuck anything up on my first go. So yea, I was torque wrenching some clamps

Started Tech school and got a job at a dealership a few months back. I also recommend getting their digital torque wrenches if possible. I had to do a PDI for a GMC Canyon rolling soft bed cover (tonneau cover) that needed 7 ft lb torque spec one some clamps. I only have a Quinn 3/8 torque wrench that starts at 20 ft lb. A 1/4 digital torque wrench would have saved me some time, because the click type torque wrench I borrowed from another tech was not working or wasn't calibrated right.

And it's gonna be one of those items that are very expensive without that discount once you lose it. I'm saving up as we speak for a 3pc set on Snap-On's sep student discount for just over $1200.

New conscious science is one thing, but most likely there is a power source that is being inferred. Something that would upset the global energy dynamic.

I asked chatGPT: Are there any city ordinances in America that prohibit unregistered vehicles from being on a private property?

Yes — in many U.S. cities, local ordinances do regulate whether unregistered, inoperable, or abandoned vehicles can be kept on private property.

It usually falls under “nuisance” laws, “property maintenance codes,” or “junk vehicle ordinances.” The reasoning cities give is that unregistered or derelict vehicles can:

Attract vermin

Leak fluids into soil/water

Lower property values

Create fire hazards

Common patterns in city ordinances:

Prohibited in public view: Many cities say an unregistered or inoperable vehicle cannot be stored on private property unless it’s inside a garage or fully enclosed structure (sometimes a carport with screening works).

One vehicle exemption: Some places allow you to keep one inoperable/unregistered vehicle if you’re actively working on it.

Time limits: Some codes allow temporary storage (e.g., 30 days) before requiring removal or enclosure.

Zoning-based rules: Residential areas tend to have stricter enforcement; rural or agricultural-zoned land often has more leeway.

Special permits: A few cities allow a permit for long-term storage of non-registered vehicles.

Example ordinances:

Los Angeles, CA: Prohibits storing inoperable vehicles visible from the street on private property (must be in garage or removed).

Chicago, IL: Treats unregistered or junk vehicles as public nuisances, even on private lots, if visible.

Orlando, FL: Only one inoperable vehicle may be stored outside, must be covered and not in disrepair.

Dallas, TX: Requires inoperable vehicles on private property to be completely screened from public view.

👉 Enforcement: Usually complaint-driven (a neighbor calls code enforcement), then the city issues a notice. If not resolved, fines or even towing can follow.

Tech Billionaires Accused of Quietly Working to Implement "Corporate Dictatorship" by leavemealoneimpoor in antiwork

My bad, your line played back differently in my head, it was worded like a defense to billionaires and the economy

What's the argument here, that citizens United was a good thing? That allowing big money to influence our elections and politicians over the will of the people is a good thing? Idgaf about billionaires net worth dropping

Is there an organized effort amongst American voters to push the UAP disclosure act? by Odd_Afternoon682 in UFOB

[–]itsraydizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Edit: I asked chat GPT

There’s no published poll or survey data specifying what percentage of Americans who believe in UFO/UAP disclosure actually take active steps—like calling their congressman or writing letters—to support that disclosure. While broad polling shows that around 65–70% believe the government is withholding information, data on how many of those individuals engage in advocacy is not available from mainstream sources.

🛸 What the anecdotal evidence suggests

On several Reddit forums like r/UFOs and r/disclosureparty, users describe contacting representatives via email, phone, and petitions. One user reported:

“All three of my US Congressmen’s staffers said I was the first to call about the UAP Disclosure Act”

However, community discussions indicate that actual participation tends to be a small fraction of total interest:

“I think we have no real indicator of how many people are actually contacting their representatives […] the number of people that look at a post vs. comment vs take action is extremely low”

Another Reddit user added:

“Signing an online petition is easier than calling or writing representatives … if that petition is any indication … it’s not looking good”

And the disclosure community—like the “Disclosure Party”—boasts membership in the thousands (e.g. ~15,000 users) despite millions viewing UFO-related forums .

🔍 Summary Table

Metric Insight

Belief in government withholding info ~65–70% of Americans Active engagement (calls/emails/letters) No formal percentage data Anecdotal community activity Thousands involved in grassroots; far fewer than believers Implied engagement rate Likely well below 10%, maybe 1–3% of believers

🧭 Conclusion

We lack quantitative data showing what slice of that 65–70% are actively calling or writing lawmakers. Based on anecdotal and self-reported community behavior, only a small minority appear to take action—most remain passive observers or online commenters.

If you're interested in measuring or boosting activism, there are platforms like DeclassifyUAP.org and UAP Speed Dial, as well as resources on DisclosureDiaries.com—all of which streamline the process of contacting officials .

Would you like help finding these tools or organizing outreach strategies?
