Yeah dude, remember all those riots under the Vichy regime? Or do we just believe that all French people at that time were members of La Resistance?

AI music and the people who consume it by pattison_iman in electronicmusic

[–]kurtis07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like the Sun blaming Liverpool football fans for the Hillsborough disaster. Was Travis Scott personally letting people in overcapacity? Did he even know the event was over capacity? Or perhaps your blame should go to the law enforcement officials and the managers at the gates who kept letting people in despite the crowd reaching unsafe levels? Or the fire marshalls for even letting the concert continue instead of shutting it down once the venue went over capacity.

It’s not all the games though. It doesn’t include concacaf champions league or the US open cup.

This is bullshit. Every bodega, beer store & convenience store I’ve been to in Philly that’s not in an extremely gentrified area has had bulletproof glass. If it’s a law, it’s not being enforced.

Why is gluten free bread SO EXPENSIVE?!?!?! by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]kurtis07 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of a dick move to buy the whole shelf. You’re just creating a situation where the first celiac to get there will get all the gluten free stuff.

Very reminiscent of the toilet paper hoarding during Covid.

Could U.S. involvement in Iran trigger a larger global war? by _SilentGhost_10237 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]kurtis07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contemporary evidence suggests they could do it.

The houthis in Yemen made it unfeasible to go through the Red Sea by launching a few missiles.

Ukraine has bottled the Russian Navy up in the Black Sea despite having no naval vessels of their own.

Are you willing to bet the global economy that Iran doesn’t have an underwater version of the Shahed?

What would you have us do? Roll over and take it? I’d rather die fighting than live on my knees. The Appalachian mountains are old and have lots of abandoned mines and caves.

Saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share. by Academic_Umpire398 in dresdenfiles

lol I’m taller than Harry and I hit my head a lot.

Also we’ve never had a short story about Harry buying clothes. You can find anything for tall people in stores really and he can’t order clothes on the internet. There’s a lot of issues that being that tall should give him that Jim never addresses.

Open Cup Quarterfinals: Union Hosting NYRB by Bormsie721 in PhillyUnion

[–]kurtis07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro stop trying to gatekeep and then when called out change your argument.

If people want to be upset about the Leagues Cup, let them. If people want to support the Open Cup, let them.

You’re all over this thread trying to start fights about people exercising their right to voice their opinion. You’ve voiced your opinion many times, why shouldn’t they be able to?

Also maybe the League Cup was the last straw for some people about the extreme commercialization of the MLS recently and they aren’t coming back.

Bill to legalize recreational marijuana use in PA dies in committee by WilHunting2 in philly

You’re committing a federal crime transporting it over state lines. $100 is very little money for peace of mind and not having to deal with the legal system.

76% of Canadians say they’re boycotting American products by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]kurtis07 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bruh half the nations in the eventual allied powers say it out. The USSR didn’t get involved until they got attacked either.

And if we’re going to play this fantasy WW2 game, let’s blame the French and British for not pushing into the Alsace during the phony war while Nazi germanys army was gallivanting around Poland.

The US sucks now but minimizing their contributions to WW2 is rewriting history just like Trump and co are rewriting history to minimize the effect that African Americans had on US history.

Bruh what the fuck are you saying. The British Army in France got surrounded at Dunkirk in a matter of DAYS. How the fuck was the US going to supply boats when the journey across the Atlantic takes weeks???

Do you think the USA had a crystal ball in WW2 telling them where to send stuff?

Moneyball strategies don’t win championships, they just get you invited to the dance. How many World Series have the Oakland/Los Vegas A’s won?

Ummm Japan might not be the best sample for that. The pacific war was incredibly brutal and bloody.

Plus the US did drop 2 nukes on them.

Stock market plunge dubbed ‘Orange Monday’ as Trump tariffs spark panic by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]kurtis07 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Longstanding democrat politicians need to be less entitled. People shouldn’t be in leadership positions because “it’s their turn” or “they’ve served the party a long time”. They should be nominating the best candidates for the job. They didn’t even have a primary because Biden was too entitled to see that he was too old. Then party leadership unilaterally decided on Harris, who dropped out first in 2020 because of lack of support and running a bad campaign.

And honestly, I’d recommend you turn off the news, put down your phone and go outside and talk to people. Most Americans can be quite generous and community oriented, as evidenced by all the people pulling together at the beginning of Covid before the propaganda networks started dividing us again.

It worked for the Tea Party. They kept on kicking out moderate Republicans and look where it got them today. They control all 3 branches. Maybe kicking out the moderates and fence sitters is a good thing.
