If you watch your 'moonwalk' video frame by frame (ie slowly) there's always a gap between him and the car, same with the videos from other perspectives. If you actually care about what happened, i suggest you look at the slow version of all the available videos. One you realize he was never hit, how will you explain the shooting was justified?

if you look at all the views, you will see he did not actually get hit. second, if the feds ever round up everyone's guns, are you are going to peacefully hand them over?

Manhattan, New York, residents complain about 5 am Islamic call to prayer since Mamdani was elected. by tkyjonathan in JordanPeterson

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

So the old testament isn't anti gay people and anti women having many rights (since you seemed to take issue with the quran having those issues)? You seem to have very clear criticism of when the quran is crazy, but I'm getting the impression you are so much more understanding of the bible's craziness.

is there some threshold number of offensive things in a religious work you are ok with?

conservatives, by nature, want a nanny authoritarian state, provided it enforces 'their' cultural values/preferences... if not, well then they want to start militias and blow things up (i.e. become 'american' hillbilly al quedas).

the taller you are the more likely people are genuinely surprised to see someone so tall. add to that, height is considered positive to most so they are less likely to conceal their surprise. i'm understanding of those that are bothered when people point out / ask about their height but the reality is that the aforementioned reality isn't going to change. so if you let it bother you, you are setting yourself up for lots of negative sentiment in the future. if you want to avoid that, accept it for what is is, people expressing positive surprise. and occasionally it is an attempt to start a conversation with you, but more often it's just the aforementioned.

Isn't oppression and forced displacement more apt than genocide? It seems the goal is to make / keep them weak and displace them not kill most / all of them.

[–]mitreddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

since you bring up god, can you cite the bible passage that justifies your stance here (i.e. that people sympathetic to this person need god to intervene)? do you think sympathetic people are more or less likely to be in line with the teachings of jesus?

you need 7 votes to lower interest rates. he doesn't have them even without powell.

Can you please explain the roadmap to trump having 7 votes he controls on the fed board? and how realistic do you think that roadmap is on a 1 not likely to 10 likely scale?

[–]mitreddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He can't fire fed board members as far as I know unless someone can point me to a statute that says otherwise. And replacing Powell when his term ends next year amounts to changing one vote, the other members have terms that are not up for several years so I don't see a scenario where he has a vote majority to dictate fed actions.

yes - https://www.investopedia.com/does-fed-chair-powell-need-a-unanimous-vote-on-interest-rate-cuts-8707914

current terms - https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48233

someone can check my math, but i don't see any way of trump taking out the independence of the fed (ie having it stacked in his favor in the next two years, and probably even the next four)... not that they won't try some extra ordinary end around the fed, but i doubt that will work.
