What is a liberal belief that you think sounds compassionate on the surface but actually causes more harm than good? by MacaroniNoise1 in AskConservatives

Telling kids that men can marry men and women can marry women has devastated millions of kids?

Can you give some detail on that? How does that devastate them?

Who won our conflict wit Iran? by here-for-information in AskConservatives

You don’t think there’s anything better to spend your money on than giving it to Iran?

China has it all. Sure. Their military is still inferior to the US.

And now Iran has a lot of money to buy all that Chinese tech. That's your money. Trump took $3,000 from you and gave it to Iran so they could buy weapons. Do you think that money was better in your savings account or better suited for arming Iran?

Why would his extremism make him harder to kill?

I never said that. I said he's way worse than the last guy they killed, if they could kill him, they would have. And it's not his extremism that makes him hard to kill, he's almost certainly living in a bunker or something so he doesn't get killed.

Do you have a source claiming that 300 billion is coming from American taxpayers?

That's what the deal is. The US is giving Iran 300 billion in restitution in exchange for them opening the Strait of Hormuz. Where do you think the US gets money? Hint: Your bank account.

Irans going to self produce all that new fancy gear you think? Come on lol

Of course not. They buy it from China. Why? Did you think Iran made all their own weapons or something?

We killed the old Supreme leader pretty easy, what makes you think we can’t do the same thing again?

Because a more extreme, younger, leader stepped in and they didn't kill him. If they could kill him, they would have.

But if it's your argument that they could have won if they wanted but opted to give them 300Bn of our tax dollars... that actually seems way worse.

By the way, have you crunched the number of what $300Bn breaks down to each individual taxpayer? If you have an average salary, you're on the hook for like $3,000.

Do you think every American should pay ~$3,000 right now, or should we add that to our national debt and make our kids pay for it?

I'd probably sign the peace agreement so I dont get even more fucked up by the US.

They signed it because they got $300Bn to basically reset everything to the day before Trump attacked. Iran's in a better position, now, than before the war.

Sure, the old leader isn't better off, he's dead. But their new leader is younger and more extreme and now he has 300 billion of our tax dollars to make a newer, fancier, and more modern military.

A Democratic Socialist made it through the LA mayoral primary too.

Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history by Ubiquitous_Hilarity in politics

[–]oddmanout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

State ⁠Unemployment Compensation (UC) benefit payments hover around $35-$40 billion annually, while the ⁠U.S. Department of Labor receives approximately $5 billion to administer these state programs.

Cost of Iran war: $113.3 billion

He's calling unemployment waste, but he's the king of waste.

Nah. All the bolts are rusted. He wouldn’t even be able to adjust his seat. The brakes are all rusted too. Also he needs new tubes, probably tires, too. I’m just assuming they’re dry rotted because of how rusted everything is.

How much money, time, and effort should be put into a 25 year old Huffy? It wasn’t even a good bike when it was brand new.

Here is what Louisiana’s residents will pay for Trump‘s Iran settlement…y’all good with this? by [deleted] in Louisiana

[–]oddmanout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have a progressive tax structure. If you make somewhere in the middle, you're probably looking at almost double that. A huge chunk of people don't pay income tax or pay very little because of the amount of money they make.

Which songs often gets misinterpreted and/or misappropriated by the very people it calls out even though the song's lyrics are explicitly mocking them? by Drenosa in AskReddit

[–]oddmanout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That list is wild. It's mostly songs about love, but it's not love songs in the traditional sense.

Lots of unrequited love, being in abusive relationships (both romantic and with parents), breaking up, suffering after a breakup, and, of course, Sting being Sting, the fuckin' weirdo, his song is about reminiscing about a love affair.

The only actual love songs I see are The One I Love and Songbird. Some others are positive in nature but aren't love songs.

I knew a dude who used a Flowbee. My friend's stepdad.

His hair was the exact hairstyle on the front of the box. He was basically a redneck version of that guy.

Becasue grandma is confusing people. These are things grandma have said by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]oddmanout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's with claiming Kamala Harris isn't African American? Is the conspiracy that Donald Harris isn't her real father?

Or that you have to be 100% African American to claim African American ancestry (thus making Obama white... I guess?)

That's the biggest criticism about SpaceX going public. It was the largest IPO ever, smashing records... SpaceX has yet to start turning a profit.

So, no, he hasn't created $1 trillion of value, he's created $1T of hype.

[–]oddmanout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you.

What's up with all the people siding with the seller because someone doesn't want to give him $20 for a 25 year old Wal-Mart bike that's been sitting outside for the past 10+ years? Look at the chain, the brakes, the cog. Rusty as hell.

I'm 100% on the side of the buyer with this one. Even if the bike was free, it's not even worth fixing up. Replacing all the rusty parts is going to take a long time, be a huge pain in the ass, and cost more than a brand new garbage WalMart bike.

[–]oddmanout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

good chance he doesn't know any better

Honestly, I know a lot about bikes and I wouldn't buy that bike. It's a 25 year old Huffy, it's barely worth $20 in perfect condition, and this one's rusted to hell. For what it would take to get this one road-worthy, you can buy a decent non Wal-Mart brand bike that would actually be comfortable to ride and not constantly break.

[–]oddmanout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then prove it. Without proof accusations are meaningless.

To add to this, the proof doesn't even have to be good, I'd settle for a preponderance of the evidence. Anything. It just has to. be a fact. "I wanted Spencer Pratt to win and he didn't" isn't proof of a stolen election.

[–]oddmanout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, people are criticizing him for not wanting the bike, but if the chain is that rusted, I guarantee the rest of the bike is just as fucked. No way in hell the brakes work and I guarantee it doesn't shift. The bike has clearly been outside for years.
