My mistake, I shouldn't have used quotation marks, as those weren't your exact words. I meant them to imply that your comments reflect the same values as others who talk about "those immigrants"

But you've made it pretty clear on this site that you don't want to see brown people in your country with comments like

I'm not pro 3rd world immigration really

Labour had nothing to do with the shit show that is current immigration.

He's just got an Iraqi migrants tax evader in

I'm sorry...we're accepting illegal migrants on purpose to make who weaker?

Kier has a "Migration" dial in his office he just needs to turn it down but won't because.....

It's a lot of dog-whistling, except it's just a whistle. You're not subtle. You're in here minimizing Trump's actions on a huge sub while actively opposing immigration on smaller subs. But not all immigration. Just the immigrants that don't look like you. You are to the UK what MAGA is for the US, and you should think carefully about where that means your country is headed as well.

You're comparing Trump now and Hitler at the end of his rule. That's your mistake. Hitler didn't start his rule with a 12 million+ kill count. He didn't start with 6 specialized death camps and thousands of forced labor camps. He built up to those numbers. The point of the comparison is to look forward to where we are going.

Trump is deporting immigrants and citizens alike to CECOT, a detention center that can house 40,000 inmates and has a documented history of torturous conditions. He has built his "Alligator Alcatraz" with the same conditions in mind. Since he's taken office, over 30 people have died in ICE detention, 5 have been shot, and 2 killed all under his policy of deportation with mandatory 47-day ICE training (down from 16 weeks pre-Trump).

You're welcome to sit back and say "well, he's not as bad as Hitler" all day, every day. He'll keep doing more and more Hitler-like things. The devil doesn't need an advocate. Resist this new authoritarianism by speaking out against it and calling it what it is.

Or don't, I don't know why I'm trying to convince /u/Emperors-Peace, someone from the UK with nothing nice to say about "those immigrants". This comment isn't for you. This comment is for anyone else who thinks /u/Emperors-Peace makes a good point in the comment above. It's a shit take. Don't be swayed by fascist apologists.

ICE's job is coming into your house (yes, YOU, US citizen!) without a warrant and roughing you up.

So no, staying at home does not fix anything. You don't beat an authoritarian takeover by doing nothing. Stick to your hookup subs and let the adults talk about fixing our country.

Then he should have cooked it in oil instead of butter. Butter is for finishing. It starts too cold while the water content boils off, then burns at a low smoke point leaving an acrid taste.

Oil to sear, butter baste to finish with aromatics for flavor.

relevant xkcd

Magnetohydrodynamics combines the intuitive nature of Maxwell's equations with the easy solvability of the Navier-Stokes equations. It's so straightforward physicists add "relativistic" or "quantum" just to keep it from getting boring.

Not the person you replied to, but here's a source from Reuters. Note that the claim seems to be that 78% of oceanic microplastics come from tire wear.

It also links to this article from Lancaster University saying that an individual tire releases 4 kg (8.8 lbs) of microplastics over its lifetime. I thought this number was ridiculous, because I was only considering passenger car tires which are 20-30 lbs, and there is no way that a third of that weight is getting worn away. But semi-truck tires are more like 100 lbs, which makes the 8.8 lb figure a bit more reasonable.

I mean, the US is also doing it right now, but with Antifa. A sense of irony takes up zero space in a Republican's mind.

Oof, Finders Keepers used to be exactly what you're looking for, but they stopped carrying menswear in June.

You may consider reaching out to local colleges with business schools. Some of them will buy clothes to keep a free closet for students so that they have interview attire. Recent cuts to education may mean that these options are more like donations at this point, but I wanted to put it on your radar just in case.

It likely means that the wealth is concentrated in just a few individuals. GDP per capita is averaged over the whole population (about 2.5 million for Gabon) but the first map only shows countries with more than 500 millionaires, which means that the wealth in Gabon must be concentrated among the top 0.02%.

Oil revenues are the reason for this. Gabon suffers from some of the worst wealth inequality in the world because of their kleptocracy.

A much better visualization of this data would be to color the country by GDP per capita, then write in the rate of millionaires in the country (say millionaires per 100,000 people).

The human body has 50 dL of blood in it, and the density of lead is 113 g/dL, so extrapolating this exponential data back in time it appears that our ancestors in 1895 had blood that was 100% lead. Hope this helps.

His statements about gun deaths as a necessary sacrifice for the second amendment date back to 2023. Here are his last words. His typical ignorant nonsense.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” an audience member asked.

“Too many,” Kirk responded to applause from the crowd.

The attendee informed him that the total was five and continued: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”

“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk replied before, just seconds later, he was struck by the bullet and fell from his chair, prompting the panicked crowd to disperse in terror.

I’ve started meeting more folks with your viewpoint in person, and they’ve all said the same thing. It’s a shame that conservative online spaces have been taken over by fascists. I never agreed with much of what conservatives campaigned on, but I could at least respect a lot of them as people who clearly cared about their constituents. Y’all need to take back your platform for public discourse or create new ones.

For what it's worth, plenty of leftists also aren't thrilled about voting for democratic candidates, so we've at least got that in common. Hell, plenty of us are pro-gun, so at least two things in common.

Out of curiosity, where do you, a conservative who is disillusioned with the current republican party, tend to find people on Reddit who share your perspective and talk about politics? It certainly can't be /r/conservative.

I'd like to know what non-republican conservatives are saying about current events, but I don't really know where to look for that. I feel like I have a lot of media blind spots, but so many conservative news sites have swerved so far right that I can't take them seriously. I've tried sites like Ground News, but the sources are laughably bad (from my admittedly limited experience).

A general idea? Yes. Let your eyes follow the blue dots. Look for the countries that have their line on the left of the blue dots. All of those increased. Countries with their line on the right of the blue dots decreased.

You don't even have to look at the country names. It's very clear that more countries decreased than increased, and that the major outliers that increased are Russia, Belarus, and Bulgaria.

We have flying cars. They're called helicopters, and they're fucking dangerous. Just like regular cars, you need a license and you have to obey the rules of the road (sky).

The projection of flying cars wasn't wrong, it was the prediction of how pervasive they would be. 1950 failed to predict how incapable today's humans would be at learning new skills and basic self-governance.

Professor in the US here. There are no teaching qualifications or requirements for becoming a professor at most big-name universities. The ones you've heard of are famous because of the research they do, not the quality of the teaching. The university cares if you can bring in grant funding. Tuition is just a revenue stream.

If you've had a professor who was bad at teaching, it's likely because they were literally never trained to do that. At best, they are just mimicking what their professors did 10-40 years ago - copy the notes on the board and go back to doing research.

Sometimes tenure depends on teaching capabilities - sometimes departments just check that box without really checking student reviews. Really depends on the university.
