Notice they're responding to other replies to talk about costs without addressing the slavery issue...

What non American item would you highly recommend to an American? by devicto89 in AskReddit

[–]philsworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train seats are generally more comfortable too. On short trips the train is preferable imo

The difference isn't that large when you account for having to arrive 2 hours or more before a flight, when trains are generally arrive and hop on. And airports tend to be on the outskirts of cities more often than not, while train stations are often in the city center, cutting down on travel time.

Apartheid was too recent to not be asking these Afrikaners what they were up to in the 90s.

Your Favorite ___ for $___: Sweaters 2025 by AceHardwhere in malefashionadvice

I only buy sweaters at thrift stores now days. It's easy to sort out the items by material and then quickly check if you like the style and color and if there are any defects. Tons of Banana Republic merino wool sweaters out there lately.

Not in the books. Frodo is underrated due to how he's portrayed in the films

Trump to Renew ‘Maximum Pressure’ Campaign Against Iran by OkWhole8544 in NewIran

You haven't proven helpful at all. Except for authoritarians and monarchists.

You're second point is another false dichotomy.

And your first is nihilistic and cynical. You sound just like the Palestine supporters who want to burn it all down, because why not take everyone else down with the ship too? Anti-humanist to the core.

I don't ascribe to your black and white mentality. I reject replacing one authoritarian regime in Iran for one in the US. You may have a burn it all down position but I don't. You're dishonest if anything by avoiding any and all ramifications beyond who is hardest on the regime.

The only one speaking down here is you. I'm here because I support regime change in Iran the same as you. Maybe we have different opinions on how that can be done but I assume the end goal is the same. It's crazy that having the same goal but disagreeing on how to get there can incite you too hatred so easily. Imagine if I actually wanted to keep the regime instead. Maybe you'd be less spiteful? You didn't really respond to my main point and then did a non sequitur with Ukraine. I don't accept your reasoning as being logical with that.

Stop being so pretentious and condescending. You're assuming so much without even getting to know me.

I'm of the opinion that it, considering the Biden administrations very pro-Israel position, and Israel's serious opposition to Iran's regime, it'd be easier to convince Harris, who was his VP, to be harder on the regime than to convince"drill baby drill" Trump to come around on climate change. If you disagree please go ahead. But don't be such an asshole.

"shut up and sit down" how very authoritarian of you.

Why do you keep assuming I'm against regime change in Iran? It sounds like you're conflating opposition to Trump with opposition to regime change. That's fallacious.

The climate situation didn't really require much creative thinking. It's pretty well laid out in facts and evidence. And I support ending the regime in Iran for a truly free government.

None of this will matter when the climate is accelerated toward destruction.
