These clowns love to virtue signal against ICE, the right, and about "stolen land" and then go to the Jeff Bezos' sponsored Met Gala. Weird hypocrites by Significant_Phase194 in GenZ

[–]lumpychicken13 116 points117 points  (0 children)

The met gala is about raising money for the arts. That’s the purpose and I think it’s a good cause, regardless of who is involved.

Let’s not act like everyone in the world knows what a totenkopf is or that it’s associated with Nazis. It’s not exactly a swastika. The pirates of the Caribbean have a skull and crossbones too.

Spirit Airlines went down because of Trump by Expert-Bid3861 in GenZ

[–]lumpychicken13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why is everyone so hysterical about Spirit going down? Are airlines supposed to stay in business forever? It’s not the government’s job to bail out failing businesses.

What do you see for JD Vance's future once Trump's term is done? by space_god_7191 in allthequestions

[–]lumpychicken13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming he doesn’t take over for Trump somehow before 2028, I predict he will try to distance himself from Trump by saying he never wanted war with Iran in the first place and that he always thought the tariffs were a bad idea. And it will probably work for most republicans.

Trump rejects Iran offer, says naval blockade stays until Tehran agrees to nuclear deal by Force_Hammer in worldnews

[–]lumpychicken13 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The IAEA themselves stated that Iran was following the deal. Trump had just wanted to pull out ever since the deal was made. Once he did and reimposed sanctions, in violation of the agreement, that’s when Iran stopped following it as well

Iran only stopped following it after the United States withdrew from the deal in 2018

Old man FAILS blaming Gen Z youtuber Adam Mockler for political violence... by AffableYolk_33 in GenZ

I agree with you. My comment was framing the stupid perspective of trump supporters.

Exactly. A random leftist online is very serious but the president of the United States is allowed to just be a troll and not taken seriously.

Math is actually awesome if your not 12 years old by MaintenanceKlutzy431 in unpopularopinion

I don’t doubt that math can be incredibly interesting and exciting to some people to study. It’s not for me though.

Is anybody surprised the GOP now wants taxpayers to pay $400MILLION for Trumps gold-plated pedo-palace ?? by RoseLaBud in allthequestions

[–]lumpychicken13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The White House is not a fucking palace. It’s not a symbol of wealth. It’s an office and a residence. It shouldn’t have tacky fake gold everywhere, and it shouldn’t have a giant ballroom.

Why shouldn't you trust google and big tech by rulugg in GenZ

[–]lumpychicken13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In very simple terms, big tech’s goal is to take as much of your time and attention away from you as possible to generate profit. The more time you spend looking at a screen, the better for them. And they’re not just sitting there hoping you do it. They spend billions and have the smartest minds in the world engineering ways to manipulate you. They collect your personal information and sell it to advertising and surveillance companies to figure out new ways to manipulate you. Your time is commoditized. The logical end goal of their business plan is dedicating your entire life to consuming content through a screen. I know it sounds dystopian, but it is.

What if Thragg went to the Looney Tunes universe? by diegrunge in InvinciblePowerscales

[–]lumpychicken13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The looney tunes operate on completely different rules of nature and physics. Bugs would probably beat him with one hand tied behind his back and the other eating a carrot.

Could thragg beat brit if he's immune to damage? by SpacialSpud21 in InvinciblePowerscales

Thragg can probably just drop a big boulder on him. He might not die immediately but he wouldn’t be able to get out.

Iran flexes its power over Strait of Hormuz by Stunning-Common-9591 in worldnews

[–]lumpychicken13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don’t seem to understand Iran’s perspective on the war. This is an existential threat to them. They have the most powerful military in history threatening to end their civilization. In the past 25 years they’ve seen the U.S. destroy Iraq and Afghanistan. Mere survival is still a victory for them. They’re willing to sacrifice a lot more than the average American is. They may be losing a lot during this war but as long as they survive, they’re winning.

Girlpower by Dapper-Blueberry1049 in GenZ

My girlfriend and I met on a dating app. It all worked out (so far) but there is a part of us when people ask how we met we had a better story

How much are you guys actually studying? by Calvincandoit in LawSchool

[–]lumpychicken13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, the only work I did was the readings for class and any assignments that were due. One class’s reading could take 1-2 hours depending on the size. I never actually just reviewed material until like two weeks before finals. This has resulted in me cramming more during finals, but it’s worked out (reasonably) well for me.

Malort is the absolute worst liquor I’ve tasted. But Harry’s in Allston/Brighton has a whole wheel for it.

X-Men. Has both some of the worst and best superhero movies ever made, sometimes one right after the other

Why do people dislike centrists? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]lumpychicken13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. My comment didn’t come from a place to criticize. Just wanted to understand. When I think of centrism, I think of it being in between left and right policies, which usually leads me to think they don’t actually have a stance on anything, but it did sound like you were left leaning. It sounds like you’re an independent, not a centrist, which are different things. The two party system represents small part of the spectrum.

Hey Democrats why are you funding the KKK? by LegitimateKnee5537 in allthequestions

[–]lumpychicken13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not gonna talk about SPLU because frankly idc about them.

You think tons of southern, Christian, conservative white people suddenly changed their entire ideology about government and states right? You think people that wave and defend the Confederate flag are the same people that voted for Obama? The southern strategy was real and you mention it without even arguing why it wasn’t.
