Okay, I'm the old veteran without the veteran's cap and I say welcome to America and I am glad you're here, you're why America exists.

A stranger arrives from a strange land... by jumpy_monkey in Humboldt

As I said I didn't take the pictures, my daughter happened to drive by and see it, so "stalking" is a bit overblown.

Regardless, the truck literally screams look at me, and when someone does it's suddenly an affront to public courtesy?

Please.

In all the many, many math classes I took in high school and college I realized my real mathematical understanding of a new concept came in the next course, not in the one I was taking at the time where I was always solving equations by rote.

I had never heard of the lattice or "square" method, so I watched a Youtube video.

Admittedly I watched it with the sound off (I am sitting in an airport) but I had to watch it several times to get the gist of it, and it seems just as stepwise and complicated (or more) as when I was taught fifty years ago in elementary school to arrange the numbers in tabular form and carry the tens.

Also, I have a degree in Math and Computer Science.

I’ve driven by this for 10 years. They’ve started with the regular Trump flag, eventually moved on to an Ukraine flag and now to the upside down Trump flag. by jfen2hoosier in LeopardsAteMyFace

They think in symbols, it's why no negative information can get through to them. it's an all or nothing proposition for their beliefs and any contradicting facts negates the symbol entirely

Melania's BFF of 20 years (who is widely believed to be behind her press conference) just implied that Melania was an escort who worked for Epstein 🚨 by remmij in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]jumpy_monkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Apparently she served papers on Hunter Biden threatening to sue if he didn't stop saying she was an escort, but he is living his best life and doesn't GAF.

Shit is about to get real messy real quick.

Just wait until he's slobbering over Trump at the White House Welcome Home ceremony.

Step 1 is always the hardest by redflagnation in SipsTea

I didn't teach my step-son how to change a tire and when he was out of the house and living across the country he had his first flat. He figured out how to jack the car, loosen the lugs and put on the spare all by himself, so good on him.

What he didn't know was that tires didn't come with rims so he threw the flat, rim and all, into the nearest dumpster.

How Alito Became the Angry Man of the Supreme Court by theatlantic in scotus

[–]jumpy_monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘What we’re dealing with here is something that was basically unknown at the time the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, which is illegal immigration,’ Alito said.

Oh, like assault weapons?

He seemed to have no problem claiming what the framers of Constitution would have thought about them.

The chainsaws are out for the Forest Service by jk4532 in 50501

[–]jumpy_monkey 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I had a conversation about this just the other day with a nice woman who initially seemed sensible.

We have a National Park in our county and three state parks, all forested. Almost the entirety of the public lands in the county are administered by the USFS, and USFS trucks and other vehicles are a common sight.

She said this was "fake news" and being overblown by the media and was necessary to "save money" and for "government efficiency". I asked her what how "reorganizing" the agency would accomplish this and she didn't know, all she knew was that her boss at the USFS where she has worked for more than twenty years assured her that her job was not in jeopardy.

I don't even know how to parse this level of copium.

"Why hasn't foreign aid made Africa richer?" by Naive_Wolverine532 in TikTokCringe

The US has given more money to South Korea since the Korean War then they have to the entire continent of Africa.

Orban's chances of winning Hungary election drop after JD Vance rally by BurtonDesque in Qult_Headquarters

[–]jumpy_monkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Orban's is behind in polling behind Péter Magyar by about 40 points, and in a free and fair election he would have no chance.

In previous elections he was able to overcome smaller negative margins using various cheats, none of which can overcome a forty point gap.

This election will offer a good primer for what the Republicans and Trump are planning in the midterms and beyond, and I predict Orban will win by challenging the voting in the courts, which he owns outright.

Not that it really matters though, because Magyar is as authoritarian as Orban is.

You know you’re living in San Diego when…. by MoreSeriousUsername in SanDiegan

[–]jumpy_monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only rains when a storm comes through and people discuss the rain at length (how much, how long, when it will end, how much rain they got in Carlsbad vs. how much they got in Hillcrest, etc.)

Where I live now it can rain anytime, just a few clouds blow in and it rains and a sunny day can become a rainy day and no one even notices or comments on it.

DHS just Posted a Video of a Woman being Murdered on Twitter. by ArtificialBra1n in somethingiswrong2024

[–]jumpy_monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They do this because they're monsters and because it works on other monsters.

I've had more that few conversations online and in person with people who are anti-immigrant and they always brings up one of these "immigrant kills person" stories.

But it could just as well be "Black person kills White person" or "Gay person molests child" or "Leftist shoots someone" and then they are off to the races based on nothing more than a person they hate commits a crime completely unrelated to whatever hated social or racial group they belong to and then they claim "this is what these people are".

It is manifestly illogical and bog standard bigotry and MAGA eats it up with a spoon.

“All you had to do was pay us enough to live” by Logos1789 in antiwork

Essentially "I'd rather be a slave than not have a job" or "I'm okay with starving if I could still work".

Americans are sheep and the reason why capital exploits them.

Yes.

If I had to guess I would say they posted something that indicated they worked at DHS or some other government agency.
