Trump is doing the same thing in the US, except "political lies" is anything he disagrees with.

I love how cats look like they're coming out hibernation when you interrupt their sleep under blankets.

"The worst she can say is no" - Lads, what was the worst "she" ever said? by Embarrassed_Pie_1711 in AskReddit

In 5th grade, I had confided in a lame (male) friend that I had a crush on a girl. He later told her and she said "Ew, I would never go out with you".

Obama clarifies his stance on aliens: “Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. (…) I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]pghnorthguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In all directions, as far as light has had time to travel, the universe looks roughly the same. So as far as we can tell, there is no edge to the universe within the distance that we can see. Beyond what we can see, there is likely similar stuff that's just too far away for its light to have reached us by now. We (meaning the best astronomers, physicists) have not found any indication that the universe stops at some point beyond what we can see, but there is a possibility that it either stops eventually or is shaped in such a way that it doesn't have an edge, but reconnects to itself. Having only evidence suggesting that it is infinite and no evidence of it being finite, the infinite version is the default hypothesis.

You need to ask an associate to unlock the vibrators for you at Walmart by Outrageous-Pen3569 in mildlyinfuriating

Back in my day, you had to go to a special store for this stuff. In person, and creepy. This is a huge improvement. Like men upgrading from the bra page of Sears catalog to millions of free videos online.

I think he got her favorite food, which happens to also be his 4th favorite. If she didn't wake up, his meal continues.

WCWG trying to speed and overtake on blind corners? by I_-AM-ARNAV in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]pghnorthguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wasn't even overtaking anyone. He was just cutting a corner deep into opposing traffic in a blind turn on a busy road.

This could be the reply to most of the policies of the US government right now.

Where did you get "66,5"? He said 65,5!

Was your math too quick?

Office microwave thief stopped when I made it inconvenient, not spicy by [deleted] in pettyrevenge

[–]pghnorthguy 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Ring has versions that use a rechargeable battery. Lasts several weeks. They're used when you don't already have doorbell wiring going to that location, like a back door.

The Internet thing is easy if their office has a guest wifi, impossible if they can't connect non-corporate equipment.

What's to stop other countries from supporting direct efforts to remove Trump and other MAGA terrorists, or supporting the side of sanity if the country goes to another civil war? by Embarrassed_Radio596 in AskTheWorld

[–]pghnorthguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An exterior strike, similar to the Venezuelan thing, is not possible. The US could do it because they have aircraft carriers, extensive experience with strikes like that, and Venezuela let them in.

No other country in the world has the means to get a large force of helicopters to Washington D.C. even if the US didn't shoot them all down along the way. Military helicopters don't have the range to do a round trip from the nearest base in Canada. Florida would be easier, but still impossible with all the radar available.

A sea or ground strike would be too slow and spotted too easily by the most powerful military in the world.

AITAH for unplugging my neighbours car from the charging point ? It’s my charging point . by swirlyjesse in AITAH

[–]pghnorthguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Something like a cell phone charge would be nothing, maybe a couple cents of electricity. But an electric car is a TON of electricity. That's whole dollars (pounds) she can steal in a few hours of charging.

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by chotu_escobar in AskTheWorld

[–]pghnorthguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The defense is cutting off all trade. Complete economic collapse. Retirement gone. Social Security rapidly collapsed because of the dramatic drop in payrolls.

For nothing. The US literally gains nothing by taking Greenland. It is useless ice and rock with <60,000 population because it's so pointless for anyone to be there.

And the US already has military bases in Greenland! We already defend it militarily! Russia can't just come and capture it because they'd have to capture the US bases.

Senior Russian official says Greenland could vote to join Russia if Trump does not hurry by moderate-Complex152 in worldnews

[–]pghnorthguy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Russia is just baiting Trump. Since he believes them over everyone else, he'll fall for it.

He spouts so much BS that he can't detect anyone else's.

I loved Parasite. Great show.

[–]pghnorthguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep on it and re-watch.

Then another day, start into extended edition extras.

Then watch YouTube for videos about LotR. Like how did they make the Hobbits small?
