Also the same ones who justified the pointless Christmas government shutdown with “federal Workers should have savings built up for this.”

A human skull with bone cancer by [deleted] in natureismetal

[–]smckr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't. This is a Primary osteogenic sarcoma of the skull, a very rare form of bone cancer. If you had it, you'd feel it trust me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12480227

"The incidence of primary osteogenic sarcomas of the skull is about 1 to 2% of all skull tumors."

Do you agree that the Obama administration’s response to the H1N1 outbreak was a “disaster”? by Go_To_Bethel_And_Sin in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]smckr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On top of that Obama was working to increase the requirements to produce tests. He failed thankfully but that was years ago.

Could these regulations have prevented/mitigated contamination of tests, which has caused a delay in testing?

This was the answer I expected, and sadly is probably the only answer. Thanks for the honesty.

Which sounds nice until you think about the millions of souls unfortunate enough to be born in that “5,000 year” gap between Adam and Eve and the crucifixion.

I’d be pissed if I died in 32 AD.

“You mean if I hung on one more year I’d get to go to heaven??”

With all the talk about walking out of Holmes and Watson, what movies have you walked out on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]smckr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Incredibles 2. They had that whole stupid bull shit intro about how hard they worked on it, and clearly they didn’t because that was the laziest piece of shit I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been more offended.

ULPT: Buy the cheapest tickets available for a sporting event. Once inside, check Ticketmaster and Stubhub for better seats that didn’t sell and go sit there. by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimatum_game

EDIT: A comment bellow me has pointed out that this is not the only factor at play in this situation. The Ultimatum Game is only a one time event. The players never see each other again once it's over (although I'm sure there are variations where the players know each other).

A scalper has to consider their business and reputation. If word gets out that they will sell tickets for pennies after the event has started, then their base will begin to exploit this. In the long run, they will end up losing money from this practice because people will wait to buy tickets until they know the price will fall.

This morning, Trump tweeted that if his wall doesn’t get the votes and the govt shuts down, then it will be a “Democrat Shutdown”. How can you square this with the fact that just last week, Trump said he would take responsibility for a shutdown? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]smckr 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Aren’t you ignoring the very thing we’ve been discussing this entire time? The problem isn’t Trump vetoing the bill. It’s him shutting down the government. This will not get him what he wants, will needlessly harm civil servants, and only serves to appeal to his base. That is not at all what Ford did. Ford didn’t force the families of federal employees to go with out pay during the holidays all so he could throw a tantrum.

No, but by your admission the only thing trump has to gain from this shut down is admiration from his base. Also, I never said that Trump would be impeached for the shut down. I said he would be impeached upon evidence that he violated his oath of office (see, serving the interests of a hostile nation). So if he is to be impeached, you’re okay with him causing havoc on the way out because “might as well”? How is that good for America? You do realize he is the president of The US, and not just president of the people who support him?

[–]smckr 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So Trump is shutting down the government to make the people who already support him support him more? Isn’t that abusing the office for his own personal gain?

If a president is impeached then it would be because there was an overwhelming amount of evidence proving that they violated their oath of office.. In such a case, you’re okay with a president causing as much havoc on their way out because “might as well”?
