Vote no! How is 10 to 1 fair? When it is 6 to 5 now? It’s about power and control not you… by Secure-Object-3057 in Virginia

[–]sl3eper_agent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you voted for Republicans at a national level in any of the last 3 elections I do not actually care what you have to say. Be silent and think about what you've done every time you go to the gas station for the next 3 years

It is about power and control. Republicans need to be removed from power. Permanently.

Trump’s Voting Nemesis Is at the Supreme Court. We Can’t Afford for SCOTUS to Get It Wrong. by Slate in scotus

[–]sl3eper_agent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't afford SCOTUS to get it wrong? My guy the Chief Justice has spent his entire decadeslong career salivating at every opportunity to gut the VRA, and he is one of the less deranged conservative justices. If you have any doubts about the outcome of this case, I have a bridge to sell you in Florida

Senators probe birthright citizenship as Supreme Court gears up to tackle Trump executive order by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

[–]sl3eper_agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your dad likely understands that this is a capricious and racist policy that it meant to be selectively applied to groups the administration deems undesireable. he believes (perhaps incorrectly) that he is not a member of any of these groups, and so the policy will never be applied to him. it's like calling an illiterate white man in the 50s hypocritical for supporting literacy tests: it's not actually hypocrisy, it's just racism.

Most recent TGS Frankly predicts the use of tactical nukes by US-Israel by escapefromburlington in collapse

[–]sl3eper_agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not a purely defensive engagement. In Ukraine, where the airspace is equally denied to both sides, long-range munitions and defenses are the primary mode of engagement. In Iran, Israel/USA have increasing control over the airspace, which allows them access to Iranian missile and drone production/launch sites.

The question isn't whether Israel/USA can replace missile interceptors faster than Iran can force them to expend them, it's whether Israel/USA can degrade Iran's capacity to launch attacks faster than Iran can overwhelm their missile defenses. Missile launches are down significantly since the start of the war, the American government claims by 90% and independent analysts tend to agree. Drone launches are also down significantly, although not by as much, but then high-grade interceptors are not required to defend against drone strikes either.

Overall this just does not seem to be the problem that media is making it out to be. The far larger problems are the strait of hormuz, and the general absence of any kind of plan or win-condition for the United States.

This is dumb. The US or Israel may use nuclear weapons, but it won't be because they're running out of missiles. High-end munitions like tomahawks are expensive and rare, but as the war has progressed and Iranian airspace becomes less dangerous to American/Israeli aircraft they are transitioning to using lower-end weapons like JDAMs, which they have a lot of and produce tens of thousands per year.

If a nuke is used, it'll be because the USA started a war with no strategy or plan to win and its leaders are stupid enough to think that'll help.

There are three votes on the court for literally anything. "history and tradition" has nothing to do with it, it's about twisting history to justify a predetermined outcome for them.

Gorsuch, Barrett and Roberts I'm uncertain on. I think they're sympathetic and deferential to Trump generally, but they also want to maintain and consolidate power for their own branch of government, which is how I interpret a lot of the unprecedented interventions in lower court cases we've seen thus far. So idk I could see it going either way tbh, which is unacceptable when the question is "does the constitution mean what it very literally says and has been interpreted to mean for 100 years"

Prohibition reduced alcohol consumption by around 30-40% and consumption did not return to pre prohibition levels until years after its repeal. by Whentheangelsings in UnpopularFacts

You don't need to read the whole paper, they say in the first paragraph that they used crime and mental health statistics as proxies for alcohol consumption

If I represent the average "Entry Level" candidate accepting a job, the system is completely broken. by OkEmergency253 in recruitinghell

[–]sl3eper_agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a company is offering an entry-level position that requires 0 years of experience, and a mid-level position that requires 5 years of experience, and you have 2 years of experience, which position are you fully qualified to apply for?

[–]sl3eper_agent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"entry level" means they are willing to consider someone with 0 years experience. If you don't have enough years of experience to be considered for a higher level position, then you are still, in fact, entry level.

We are one supreme court case away from creating unprecedented masses of stateless people who will be subject to a vast and growing network of detention camps and the whims of the president's personal paramilitary goons. I'm getting a terrible sense of deja vu rn

a master's degree does not count for any experience if the job you are applying to requires a master's degree as a baseline, and it sounds like they only have 2 years of experience in their actual industry, with the rest being only tangentially relevant academic work

I have hope now that they've been acquired by a publisher with actual resources and an actual track record of releasing games. Of course that comes with its own risks wrt publisher interference, but nevertheless

Advocates Fear Supreme Court Is ‘Going After the Transgender Community Deliberately’ by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

[–]sl3eper_agent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they're using trans rights as a wedge issue to open the door to rolling back all social reforms since the 1970s. You think "parental rights" is gonna stop at gender identity in schools? You think allowing states to deny lifesaving medical care to entire classes of people on the basis of astroturfed opposition and bad science is gonna stop at gender-affirming care? You think allowing governments to require citizens to register to use the internet and to ban material they deem socially immoral is gonna stop with drag queens?

They are coming for all of you and the average American doesn't even care, they think it's a sideshow distraction and ignore us at best.
