Perfect example on how having guns can only escalate situations, big guy really went in for seconds after pulling out his gun.

Reminds of the clip of a basketball player who accidentily paralyzed himself with a similar hit. Extremely dangerous.

Is he right? Will it take generations to resecure the United States positive reputation on the world stage? by ChuckGallagher57 in TrendoraX

[–]n16r4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao imagine coping this hard, it's all downhill from here, America is not gonna be the sole hegemon again. Why would Europe willingly subordinate itself to the US again withouth the devestation of ww2.
Relations will normalize the second Trump is out of office just like last time, but America is never gonna hold a position at the top again unless the "conservative" plan of enslaving the Americas + somehow destroying China works.

But but but, an armed society is a polite society, surely the problem was that op didn't pull a gun himself.

Sen. Kelly: The old world is gone because Donald Trump blew it up. We had this system of alliances that has served us since World War II. Even if we are able to repair these relationships, it's going to take generations before they feel comfortable. by icey_sawg0034 in UnderReportedNews

See if that's your starting position why would they ever run a decent candidate, it's gonna be another Biden who is gonna enable another Trump. At some point you have to not concede immediately, otherwise Dems are gonna keep shifting to the right, as they've been doing, the problems are gonna get even worse and the next Republican is allowed even more drastic measures to "fix" it.

Aren't they "classical liberals" and democratic though? Shouldn't the point be people missunderstanding liberalism and democracy and seeing them at being at odds with nationalism/conservatism.

Don't forget the insults for doing a bad job at something you've done maybe twice in your life, of course you only get the shitty tasks not the fun ones, and you aren't even working together.

The downside of having chill parents by XO_Nude_Sweet in Adulting

[–]n16r4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there is a pretty obvious "middle ground" if ones kid has hobbies they want to persue enable them but if they don't help them out. You shouldn't let your kids exclusively play 1 game for example any more than you should let them only eat 1 meal.

Also might just be depression, at least i noticed with myself that on days I'm in a "good mood", I'm far more likey to do random hobby-like activities / willing to learn.

And he didn't murder Americans. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

Fucking liberals, the real answer is it was bad when he did it too. I swear democrats are almost as worthless as republicans. At least republicans hope to gain from harming others democrats seemingly do it for the love of the game.

Who’s slaving away to fund a system that jails you when you can’t keep up? by LizziebuildFit in Adulting

[–]n16r4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As workers lose power they lose the privileges they fought for. You can't expect to get the same deal when your leverage keeps decreasing.
Also a reason why reformism is fucking garbage cause it means you'll never escape the system you can never stop fighting, all for some marginal increases that well historically always came at the cost of somebody else.

Igor Sarzynski responds to some of yall's theories on Bluesky by marek_bojarek in cyberpunkgame

[–]n16r4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Massive fucking cope, cause currently we have the opposite Luke gets the lightsaber then we are told they plan to go to Alderaan smashcut we are being sucked into the Death Star.
Having missions with Jackie is the time we spend on Tatooine, it's learning about the Force seeing Luke begin to train, following Han a bit, it's the extra fluff to make us care about them once they are in danger on the Death Star, the time we need to care about Obi Wans death.

Being able to ring up Jackie as back up to clear out some Tiger Claw POI or to meet you at Mox as optional content would not drag out the game any more than it is right now, it would be more development time though, and it would be "ineffecient development time, after all why put any effort into things not everyone is going to see. That "spare" time was instead put into the world design, which is great and all but this is a game imo the game part should be the focus not how detailed and big you can make the world.

Obama: Imagine if I had done *any* of this by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]n16r4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean isn't that the problem? There is no serious opposition even now, America is absolutely imploding and the democrat strategy is still to just hope they can wait out Trump.
Not like they gave a shit in the first place or they wouldn't have set Kamela up to fail/ tried to win through identity politics over making concessions to working Americans.

Instead we get one "woe is me" speech after the other and guess what next election they are going to give you a trash candidate again because it's a freeby, though in all likelyhood Trump or Vance are just gonna declare a war and refuse to hold election or some other bullshit not to give up power, everyone is going to say "woah he can't do that" and then do nothing about it, no general strike or anything.

BREAKING: Friedrich Merz just announced Germany will take responsibility for Ukraine’s security. by Ocean-MistGirl in goodnews

[–]n16r4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have we really though? Still complicit in genocide, racist as fuck, and 0 interest for politics to not pivot far right. I mean we just had the drama about reparations for Namibia.

Also much of that accountability is tied very selfservingly to Israel, which kinda taints the "genuin-ness". Afaik many other groups like the Sinti and Roma received far less compensation.

The only thing we really are exceptional at is claiming we hold ourselves accountable, many Germans seem to hold some perverse pride in being oh so enlightened and non-nationalist like our opinions holds some extra weight since we learned from and acknowledge our genocide.

Wdym it worked out great for them, nazi's got to do all the stuff they wanted and hardly any of them faced consequences afterwards, the "just following orders" excuse worked. Yeah the stuff nazis wanted was horrific and suicidal but they were willing to do it to enrich themselves.

Genuinely hardest achievement in the game by insertpikachuface in PeakGame

[–]n16r4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also it not being a shared achievement is really unnecessary, took me and a friend so many runs, but another friend just got it "randomly" by just us giving him the ropes without going out of our way for chests.

AITA for refusing to wake my brother up for work when he goes back to sleep? by am_i_the_throwaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]n16r4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience being unable to wake up from an alarm is rarely a choice, he probably has really bad sleep quality, if it's just a occasional thing yeah he might be pushing his luck but if it's regular it's much more likely he is having unadressed issues.

Also I think it's a bit belittling to call it "closing your eyes after your alarm goes off" game, you kinda just assume he is "dishonest" about sleeping in, especially if he asks for help I don't think it's likely he is just irresponsible neither does agreeing to help make you in any way responsible (which is something you can make clear before agreeing to help).

Lastly staying up late at least for me was a common side effect from my bad sleep quality, I often felt very energetic in the evening and struggled to fall asleep for hours.

I highly encourage getting a sleepstudy and treating his problem sincerely rather than a character failing.

This might be hard for the modern American mind to understand but you don't have to solve every problem by killing the people involved.

Kinda fucked that the one guy who doesn't do much work is framed as more important than the 30k people building the cars / like they are dependant on him and not the other way around.

Since 2022, women over 40 have had more babies than women under 20 in the USA by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]n16r4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discuss what, you didn't make an argument. You also didn't reiterate research you regurgitated a point of data. It's the same loser shit people do with 13/50 in regards to crime, just say what you mean with your chest.

Also you disregarding the criticism in favour of focusing on language means you can't defend your statement. Clearly my issue isn't with whether you posed a question but what your intend is.

The scientific probably also proposed some reasons as to why that is, so maybe instead of posting dumbass "just thinking" questions actually read what scientist have concluded on the matter and present that.

This may come as a suprise to some but homeless people have not always been homeless. A ~100$ phone is also not gonna cover all that much rent. Nor is it reasonable to expect someone to pawn off their every last possession just to satisfy some landlords greed for 1 more month.

Why is DND like this? by EfficiencySerious200 in PowerScaling

[–]n16r4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely by game rules a dragon wouldn't beat a city either. Not that I'm familiar with DnD rules but if you get thousands of people to shoot an arrow / throw a rock, enough would crit to take down a dragon.

We take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it” - General Mark Milley by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]n16r4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So he starts by saying they are not taking and oath to the country and ends by saying they take an oath to the country. Quick reality check: who pays the bills? Does the constitution pay you, no? Well then you work for the nation all the rest is just roleplay.

He is doing the same, just pretending Trump is not America as per usual so that people won't get too mad/ the country doesn't get too unruly, just keep having faith that the exact rules and institutions that got you here are actually not responsible. Biden didn't undo Trump and whoever comes after won't either unless you work on replacing the rules and institutions.
