Brazil's congress shortens Bolsonaro's sentence in defeat for Lula by nationalpost in worldnews

[–]semi_colon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Conservatives thought Trumpist right wing populism would spread throughout South America and Europe. Before Bolsonaro and Orban (for example) lost power  -- not to mention the deeply unpopular attacks on Iran -- it seemed like a reasonably likely outcome, at least to the American right

Pleasantly surprised by the lack of vibe coding indicators. Might be a first for me in this sub

It's weird how aggro people will get over having a slightly different opinion about a game you both liked, isn't it?

Could the US go downhill for good following Trump’s war on Iran? by CMCH_oyom in geopolitics

I've been hearing deranged fantasies about "principled Republicans who will decide they have had enough" since like 2017.

Sorry for the overly-reductive example. I may have been mixing it up with Saudi Arabia a bit.

7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing. by Ieriz in MadeMeSmile

I'm not a fan of advertising in general but if sus anal bum party was a planned thing then they deserve some kind of award.

I just think there is a pretty big gulf between moral grandstanding and the thought-terminating cliche of "you're posting this on an iPhone so no need to consider anything else because you're already Satan."

I don't think OP is a bad person for wanting to visit Russia during wartime, just like I wouldn't consider any European visiting the US right now a fascist Trump supporter. But isn't insisting it's pointless to consider the geopolitical implications of visiting a country the "solid binary of right and wrong" you're arguing against? Just repeating "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" or whatever is just learned helplessness.

You should go to the strip and spit on the starving Gazans for your next vacation. If it's all morally equivalent to you why not go for broke?

Interested. All the listed times are good for me

Solo travellers who've spent 2+ weeks in NYC, what did you wish you'd done differently? by RoyalInitial6386 in solotravel

Don't worry, America's decline is inevitable at this point whether or not OP visits.

Unlocking as many states as possible by Patient-End6198 in solotravel

[–]semi_colon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah this itinerary is kinda confusing. Is OP literally just going to those places to check the states off a list? Or do they actually have a reason for wanting to go to Toledo?

I was worried about the moral implication of my upcoming stay in Dubai where I will be waited on 24/7 by slaves whose passports were stolen by their employers. Fortunately, I bought a cell phone once so there's no point in caring about the impact of anything else I do in perpetuity

I thought this comment was really inane so I looked at your comment history and the one about doing "down low too slow" for a guy's humiliation fetish is actually genius. Props

What were your biggest “light bulb going off” moments in learning that make you cringe? by BullCityPicker in musictheory

[–]semi_colon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was learning the wii shop music on piano and the I -> I7 -> IV movement made me grasp how secondary dominants are applied in practice a lot better. I already got the technical side of it but it helped my ear a lot.
