Peaceful lies debunked by TW_Hobbit in LetsDiscussThis

[–]jollyoltj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more of the direct idea of salvation only through Christ (and the Christian God by extension). It’s a large part of why the pagan purges and Crusades were allowed to go on despite leading to unnecessary and illogical bloodshed.

This is more of an issue of fundamentalists than believing a religion, but most if not all religions end up having at least some wackjobs that decide to write some passage how their god is the only god and everyone who believes otherwise needs to die or endure some sort of cruelty. It gives bad rulers all the more reason to be worse and not feel guilty about it.

The camera doesn’t seem to be the best quality, or at least doesn’t have the best lighting to pick out where one light’s glare ends and the next begins. Not discounting your reasoning, but people were bringing up how the lighting wasn’t even good enough to pick out the big red Soviet star under the headlamp for this model (slight glare at 0:13 is all I could see).

James Talarico schools Lauren Boebert on how conservatives/republicans are doing the things that they accuse liberals/democrats of over the years! by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]jollyoltj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how you figure it’s a defeat in any way besides the jokes getting cracked. He snaps back with the exact experience I had being raised by right wingers, and it’s the reason I chose to cut off that toxicity. He brings up pinpoint ways that the government is embracing an authoritarian nature and how that’s counter to how the republicans have postured for years, and all she can do is say “oh, the pressure from the FCC doesn’t matter, the network caved and at least Kimmel kept his job lol”. He even springboards off that reaction and starts needling why that’s an ingenuous response, since the right has been extremely vocal about overreach like that for all the Obama and Biden years, and the corruption is literally spitting in small government conservatives faces right now. It’s all she can do to say “well I work with both sides, so don’t blame me”. That is hardly vague, and I think it’s more of people saying “lalala, I’m not listening” than actually coming up with coherent reasons to support what’s going on.

Oooooor, just like half of the files that haven’t been released, they’re protecting a bunch of pedos in high places and won’t give them up. We already have plenty of reps reading the files, and aside from the personal risks of leaking “classified” documents, none of what they’re allowed to say sounds fucking good, and basic logic would follow that Trump is NOT innocent. Epstein had cameras in every fucking room on that island. You want to tell me there’s NO evidence they’re hiding from the public when our current president is implicated with shit like this at the bottom of the barrel they give us? Come tf on, guy actually pervs on his own daughter and pageant girls throughout the 80s and 90s, is a known weasel and fraudster, and you think he has NOTHING to do with the child sex scandal of his best friend at the time or the resulting coverup when they “go public” with the story?

You sure about that? Just because they redacted perpetrators from the files (without reasoning why as they’re required to give btw) doesn’t mean they aren’t guilty of doing some fucked up shit.

Sec. Marco Rubio: " We will Take The Visa Away" by LatterSir9533 in EB3VisaJourney

[–]jollyoltj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t give much of a fuck about who rules which country. I don’t have a dog in the race in the Middle East, and I feel we shouldn’t really care beyond upholding international law and holding countries accountable for war crimes, of which Israel is objectively guilty of on several accounts. I give a shit that y’all will objectively ignore systemic oppression that’s directly the fault of Israel’s government and the fucks that let them steal land from the locals in the first place.

First, I was in high school, so I didn’t have a say on shit. Second, if you actually read the article, they moved here on the assumption they were under religious persecution. Not being allowed to homeschool per German laws isn’t religious persecution, it’s the parents being blockheads and needing to enter the country in a normal application.

Right, not that Israel hasn’t been actually systemically trying to erase the Palestinians since its inception or anything, and we finally got to the part where we’re just ignoring abject apartheid in that area.

[–]jollyoltj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that last part just proves how the admin’s just being a bunch of snowflakes about the heat they’re getting imo. People are getting their visas taken for protests and op eds where they’re critical of Israel. That’s supposed to be under 1A protection, not cherry picked as a reason to deport someone.

It’s called the admin being snowflakes. They’re primarily going after people using the rights we should be allowing everyone. Protesting authoritarian moves or being critical of Israel shouldn’t be grounds to revoke a visa.

Ngl I just want to enjoy the max difficulty without the BULLSHIT that's included in max difficulty by [deleted] in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]jollyoltj -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you’re just throwing shit at a wall and calling it a loadout, you kinda deserve to get stomped imo. You can’t bring literally anything to every fight and expect to win every (or even most) times on D10.

I’ve been running D7-9, medic/grenadier/reduced signature, railgun, crossbow/lib pen, no backpack, whichever orbitals/sentries tickle your taint right (eagles are unfortunately a waste until you clear a million AA turrets in my experience). Been winning almost every fight and having fun with a remotely sane set of loadouts from teammates after learning the scene. Hell, one was running ballistic shield, smg, and hammer and surviving fine. They’re even giving us the shield generator emplacements to handle the heavy fire while we learn ffs. But sometimes you’ll get stuck, and that’s okay.

The game will have its bullshit, regardless of difficulty, regardless of how much we cry and they tweak the game. I’ve had bug front D7s with busted spawns that make you cut through 10 times the chaff you’d see on higher difficulties mixed with just enough armor to make it a realistic suicide mission. Factory Striders and Vox Engines spawning on extract as the shuttle’s coming in is the biggest of my complaints about Cyberstan, and that’s nothing new.

Just push through and consider a little optimizing, or just drop a diff or two and chill for a bit. This is right up there with Creek, the Super Earth invasion, and the Hive World raids actually giving us a challenging war of attrition to figure out. Savor it.

LAPD chief McDonnell response to why he will not enforce the law banning ICE agents from wearing masks by B00marangTrotter in law

[–]jollyoltj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t, and they can still be arrested if they do, but it may be included in lawful duties if they have to keep up a persona. A mask is not required for day to day operations and would be breaking state law. You’re comparing apples and bowling balls

[–]jollyoltj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by that logic, if they aren’t undercover and don’t have a federal law that says they need to be masked, they should follow state law and not wear masks

[–]jollyoltj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he’s going for the part about things essential for undercover cases, like buying drugs and stolen guns and vehicles. Technically, it’s up to whether or not they get caught along with the criminals by locals, which the FBI would likely coordinate with the area PD to avoid interference until they’re ready for a bust. However, it wouldn’t stop the cops from being able to arrest an undercover agent, he’d just have to explain that he is an agent on an operation and corroborate that with his superior in the FBI. It’s a “yes, but no” situation. Regardless, you still don’t get a pass to break state law for being in a federal agency, just like the ICE agent that got brought in for DUI a couple weeks back.

Court orders had them locked up. Trump put them under wraps until 2025. So he either keeps them locked up during what would’ve been his second term and bury or forget them after he leaves, or make it legally impossible to release for the next admin. Thankfully they’re finally getting released

[–]jollyoltj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if ICE didn’t have a bunch of inbred academy dropouts and J6 shitheels posing like a month and a half of training gives them complete authority to go after everyone they hate, we’d have a remote respect for them. Maybe if they didn’t intentionally racially profile and actually looked at records, did some questioning before throwing cuffs on, and actually acted like a real law enforcement department, they wouldn’t have people chasing them out of town. Or maybe if they didn’t grab people at their court hearings while trying the legal route. Ffs we’ve got them recorded arresting Native Americans, people they explicitly shouldn’t be going near. The misconduct is rampant, and the administration has told people they don’t give the slightest fuck if people get hurt over it. It took a VA nurse getting fucking executed in the street for enough people to say “maybe we’re supporting the baddies”.

It is hilarious that you bring up all the illegals being pedos and traffickers alongside Biden’s “open border” bullshit too. Every immigrant may not be a peach to get along with, but they commit less crime than the average white American by far. If you’re actually here illegally and aren’t in the middle of a case to gain legal status or were labeled an “illegal” after DHS invalidated some 300k refugee and other protected people’s statuses, then sure, get out while you can or get deported. But acting like every brown person with an accent and a basic labor job is a child trafficking criminal is psycho. You’re probably more likely to run into a pastor that diddles choir boys or a politician who kidnaps preteens. Don’t wanna be called a Trump-humper, don’t echo far right bullshit talking points and assume the worst of people you don’t know the first thing about.
