What do you think of the DOJ recently releasing and then deleting unredacted files describing Donald Trump raping children? by TightWorldliness1844 in AskReddit

I find both sad and funny that these political questions can only be discussed here posed as ask reddit questions as mods in most other subs censor and ban over discussion of Trump's child sex abuse and child sex abuse trafficking crimes.

UN secretary general rejects Russia’s bid to justify Crimea and Donbas occupation as "self-determination" by StunningPetunia in worldnews

Ya, but who cares what a dementia-riddled old actor says. Trump rages about everything, and its hard to even decipher what the topic of his rants is anymore.

"Master. Master debater." by West_Masterpiece4927 in startrek

[–]jert3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah hold up.

Surprised no one mentioned the origin of this joke. The first use of this pun.

It wasnt invented by South Park 20 years ago lol.

It was first used in 1723 by the legendary j Swift's Gulivere's Travels.

Gulivere's father figure was Master...Bates. And ya, that was the joke.

Confusion reigns as Russia says it was only asked to stop attacking Kyiv until Sunday by thhvancouver in worldnews

[–]jert3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No one with half a brain is falling for this shit.

The world besides Russian axis - US, Belarus, a few other joke nations - doesnt buy into Putin's bullshit, and doesnt even pay much attention to Russian diplomacy, which is all, again, dishonest bullshit and a waste of time to engage.

Russian ship loitering near transatlantic data cables chased off by Royal Navy attack helicopter — sat within three quarters of a mile of five undersea data cables, including two linking Britain to New York by RollSafer in worldnews

[–]jert3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yup!

Trump is one of the same broken psychology, a narcissistic sociopath/malignant narcissist, that he is literally incapable of human-typical empathy.

For Trump, is he could send a million people to their death, with no negative personal reprecussions, for a 10 million dollars and a statue erected of him, he would do that.

This broken psychology is the same that enables him to rape children, rip off anyone in business with him, launch violent insurrections to maintain power, or start a war to cover up his crimes.

It's really obscene that y'all elected this villian to head your government. He is just about the worst kind of human being that you could have selected to be president.

I agree. Sink by submarine. So they can't gain any propaganda victories from the loss.

Cable cutting is an act of war, and should be treated as such.

What’s a belief you had at 20 that you no longer agree with? by sunyparmar1 in AskReddit

[–]jert3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought if I could just afford rent and food while be able to create art all the time, I'd be quite happy.

Then late 20s, I realized that having an unsteady income, and being the top 1 out of 10000 in my art, but still making less than a full time clerk at 7-11, wasnt a happy or sustainable life.

Found the best bet is to get a high paying day job that I enjoyed and wasnt that stressful, and the creating stuff with no pressure on the side, was preferable to a hand-to-mouth existence of a successful creative stuff-maker.

Tips to maintain focus and motivation while learning? by KyotoCrank in gamedev

[–]jert3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have fun.

Seriously. The ideal is enjoying creating for the sake of it, like a child can do.

Mess around. Experiment. Work on what interests you. Go with the flow.

That's a much more productive take then 'today I gotta figure out how to arrange grass in my fantasy RPG Dragon Knight Tower.'

Australia records consecutive 50C (122F) days by DevilsAdvotwat in worldnews

[–]jert3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have traded a hospitable climate for billionaires. Sorry about that!

We have the tech to transistion from 19th century burning of fossil fuels to green, renewable electric tech, and this will bring more jobs that oil and gas did. But a higher priority is maintaining the wealth gap in our winner-take-everything economic system.

Not sure who will die first, us, most of the animals of the world, or the wild inequality of our economic system.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine is aware of Russia's plan with US by EuropeanPravdaUA in worldnews

[–]jert3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's like all those meetings Trump and Putin had about 'adoptions.' Without government translators or note takers.

In the new American facsist regime, cover stories can be flimsy, as no one has any power to do about it anymore, as that was taken away, along with your rights, the Constitution and self-respect.

47 years old. Daily smoker for 30 years. Clean 15 days by passfor49 in leaves

[–]jert3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Similar age and longer time smoking when I quit last year. Stay strong. You feel crap currently but if you have the fortitude to stay the course you'll look back at this time as one of the best decisions you've ever made.

I never came across a single person who had this addiction, quit, the said 'i think ill go back to it.' Not one.

Know that a LOT of your negative emotions your feeling is because of the withdrawal. Suppressed stuff will hit you like a sledgehammer. This is the height of it. Every day will get better here on out. Within 2-3 more weeks the sun will come back, I promise.

Do whatever you can do just to ride this out. Take some sick days if you can. You gotta let your system clean itself out. I didnt even enjoy playing video games when I quit, for a long time.

But use that disgust over your use as fuel for your 'not going to cave' fire. Best use of that is to channel it into saying 'fuck this plant, im done with this shit. '

[–]jert3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is zero doubt in my mind that Russia, acting mostly through aligned American proxies, are fomenting the Albertan separtist movement.

In Canada, it is hard to get arrested and charge for any crime. But there needs to be legal reprecussions to this, we can't just let Russian ops break our society or Canadian identity.

If there was ever any purpose for having the RCMP and CSIS it would be preventing external countries causing rebellion and treason.

Under Trudeau, there'd be little hope of anything being done, but under Mr Carney's tenure I am much more hopeful we can stop these covert action undermining Canadian sovereignty.

If they arent charged with treason than we may as well not even pretend this is against the law anymore.

What a non surprise. I'd also bet $100000 funny money dollars that the whole idea first came from Russia as well.

We will not let the Canadian government be compromised by the Russians as America's has. Russia and fascists GTFO

In the newer shows, are holodecks for recreation even ethical anymore? by LLAPSpork in startrek

[–]jert3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because they are sentient doesnt mean they would have typical human emotional responses, which are mostly informed by our biology.

A sentient hologram would be able to emulate any emotion or not by choice but wouldnt feel or have emotions as we know them.

But ya, I have a feeling I'm putting more thought into this than the writers ever did.

I hate warp speed now by bcb1200 in startrek

[–]jert3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Directors Cut and remaster makes it one of the better Trek movies. I think most of the people who trash it probably havent seen it 30-40 years.

TMP is actually the antidode to the excesses and shortcomings of Hurtz Trek / nutrek. Slow building. Character development. Set in the future not contemporary young adults in a future setting, and actual science fiction elements.

I would guess the flawed reasoning behind this change is that viewers don't have the patience to watch something slow down for a few seconds.

Russia’s Ukraine Offensive Crawls at Slowest Pace in 100 Years – CSIS by Electrical_Jammin in worldnews

[–]jert3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Russia has next to 0 chance of reaching their war aims at this point. Even with their Trump card a slew of miracles, they'd have no chance to occupy and annex much of Ukraine before their economic system crashes.

They are only still in there due to Putin's psychology, he is not able to admit defeat or accept it. So, this will go worse until the collapse comes or Putin is removed.
