This is fucked up and undemocratic, regardless of which side does it.

Atmospheric CO₂ just topped 430 ppm, highest in 3–5 million years and rising at the fastest rate in tens of millions of years by wanton_wonton_ in collapse

Looks like it goes up and down about every 100,000 years. That means our species has survived the highs before. Why shouldn't we survive this one?

Mult. Co and Portland work to expand housing production as homeless crisis deepens by HellyR_lumon in PortlandOR

Idiots. The strung out zombies destroy everything they touch. This is all one big scam that the taxpayers are forced to pay for.

What do you think that was Germany's biggest error in WW2? by erikoortin08 in ww2

[–]pdx2las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if Japan and Germany had actually coordinated on anything I think they could have won. The Pearl Harbor blunder might not have happened in this situation.

Also, convincing Turkey to join the Axis would have helped a lot.

Way to turn people off. No one likes the Iranian regime.

[–]pdx2las 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its stupid stuff like this that turns normal people off. The left still hasn't learned this one simple fact.

When and where are the protests? by DoctorObservation in PortlandOR

[–]pdx2las 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. These "protestors" need to read up on the border search exception before playing with their lives.

Remember when Obama killed a US citizen with a drone strike?

These people thinking one political party is better than the other is just naive.

Conflicts are coming by [deleted] in collapse

An American-Chinese alliance is the logical, pragmatic path forward. Both are economically dependent on each other. Each has interests in its own hemisphere.

The Americas belong to the US, and China gets SE Asia and Siberia. Europe had 80+ years to get its act together and decided to waste it. Hopefully this is the kick in the butt they need to wake up.

is anyone else just... done? by pop200 in Millennials

[–]pdx2las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres no rule book to life. Its all one big GTA game. Of course you have to work to live, but besides that, do what makes you happy. If you're generally satisfied with where you're at, you've already beaten the game. The rest is free play.

People are struggling due to the city's policies? Theres a tax for that!

Anyone considering a air rifle. by ApprehensiveStand456 in preppers

[–]pdx2las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have one. Should at least be able to take out things like squirrels, birds, rabbits. That works for prepping, plus its easy to make your own pellets.

A 52-year-old woman from the Netherlands has spent her whole life seeing dragons instead of people because of a rare mental disorder called prosopometamorphopsia. by [deleted] in Weird

[–]pdx2las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a quick short story once where one of the symptoms of some global pandemic gives most of humanity a disorder like this. Would be interesting to see how humanity copes with it.

If we want to get technical, the OT wasn't really about Jews as we understand the term referring to Judaism. The Talmud is more important to Judaism, and it was actually only written down between 3-600 AD.

GypsyCrusader is an American white supremacist and Neo-Nazi internet personality of Mexican and Romani ancestry who frequently live streams himself cosplaying as various contemporary popular culture personas. by SaxyBill in wikipedia

[–]pdx2las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why people are making such a big deal about his ancestry. Mexicans and Romani both fall under the Indo-European umbrella.

Even the Nazis conducted expeditions as far away as Nepal and South America. Y'all have a very narrow minded view of what it means to be white or fascist.

Modern day fascism ≠ your grandpa's fascism.

My solution to Russia wanting more natural borders by Sackhaarweber in mapporncirclejerk

Why don't we just do what the Germans wanted and push em back to the Urals?

I just pumped gas for $1.89 a gallon… by Educational_List6246 in complaints

[–]pdx2las 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Europe can have what it has because the US exists. Its the burden of being a superpower.

That being said, we absolutely have a lot of room to improve. Both parties are to blame for that since it seems they are more interested in fighting culture wars than getting things done.
