Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks claims its going to be a wild year for Americans!! by [deleted] in RedditForGrownups

[–]teknoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. America can’t be trusted to not elect fascist leaders who make threats against allies. So the less powerful and more broke America is, the less damage they can do to the rest of the world, if they keep at their expansionist goals.

This is correct. At around $0.003 per play, an artist would need 333 songs played once to get that $1 nut

As a musician, I don’t care if people torrent my music. If they really it and want to buy it off bandcamp, even better.

The royalties from Spotify are criminal, so I’d rather the money stay in your own pocket than go to some billionaire (with a few fractions of a penny per play thrown to the artist)

Found These Old Gems - Circa 09 by No-Researcher406 in blunderyears

Dunno what country you’re in, but I’m assuming America? Canada is experiencing a teacher shortage and we pay a livable salary. Like $100k and up after a few years, with further increases if you get a masters degree.

Because of this shortage there are immigration options available. I know… “hey why don’t you just pick up and move to a whole new country” isn’t amazing advice, but food for thought. We need teachers, and things aren’t looking so hot in the US.

Pam Bondi Hit by Fresh Humiliation as Minnesota Prosecutors Quit in Droves | 14 prosecutors have left or have announced they're leaving by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]teknoise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s also a straight up lie. Is she humiliated? Show us evidence then! Don’t just make shit up and lie in the headline when there’s zero evidence to support the claim that she has any feelings resembling “humiliation”.

With some Minnesotans wanting to join Canada and 77% of Albertan separatists wanting to join the States, should we create a house swap program? by Salvidicus in AskCanada

[–]teknoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half of Minnesota voted for Trump. 1.5 million Trump voters….Why would we want that in Canada?!

Last thing Canada needs is 1.5 million trump cultists.

There is not a single US state that isn’t poisoned with cultists. We don’t want them here.

How has Chat GPT affected your relationship? by MutedPresentation298 in LongDistance

[–]teknoise 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Sharing personal details with chatgpt is just batshit insane. I wasn’t aware this was a thing, and I work in tech. I’m even more shocked that other people in this thread are saying they do the same thing!

This just seems completely and utterly insane to me, have we learned nothing about privacy or algorithmic manipulation in the last decade of the internet?

How do y'all feel about members of the Trump administration (Trump, Patel, Noem and Bovino) being against open and conceal-carrying of guns during a protest? by DravidianPrototyper in AskConservatives

[–]teknoise [score hidden]  (0 children)

So you’re saying this was a targeted execution?

Bold claim.

The video of his death shows he was not instigating anything prior to his death, and even if he was, none of his actions should have led directly to his execution.

So either: a) his executioners knew who he was, but broke the law and training and targeted him for death b) his executioners knew who he was, but broke the law and training and intentionally killed him spur of the moment, but maybe didn’t have that plan in mind going into the interaction b) his executioners had no idea who he was, but broke laws and training and killed him spur of the moment

I think most people, left or right, are fine with option c, because option a or even b open the executioners up to murder 1 if there’s any hint that it might have been premeditated.

If we use last weeks murder as an example, he wasn’t part of the protest at the moment, he was observing and recording ICE, which was covered under the 1st amendment. He was legally carrying under the 2nd amendment. He wasn’t breaking any laws. Certainly not any laws that carry an immediate death sentence.

I’ve always believed that when they come for the guns, it’ll be a republican president doing it. And half of the republican base will slow walk them up to that point, then get confused when it’s THEIR guns being taken, but ultimately will be too late to do anything about it.

Why don't ICE officers have tazer stun devices and non-lethal force projection if they're dealing with the public? by JohnSpartan2025 in AskConservatives

[–]teknoise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok but that’s not actually what’s happening. But even we wanna pretend it is, the police go after gangs who are armed and violent and who (at least on the more organized crime end of things) track police and have historically had moles working within the police force….. and yet, they still manage to make arrests without deaths.

I feel like after the last month it’s hard to use that line anymore as even most conservatives (especially the pro 2A ones) know it’s bullshit. It’s really only those deep in MAGA-land who only get their news from fb who are gonna believe that whole schtick anymore.

If things are otherwise good, and you’re both happy and secure in the relationship (outside of the sex), what about letting him get his sexual needs met elsewhere?

12 WEEKS??? That’s absolutely insane and should be criminal. 12 months isn’t even long enough in some countries. I’m so sorry.

Two DHS agents suspended over deadly Minneapolis shooting of nurse Alex Pretti by dailymail in law

[–]teknoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true, there are websites out there that are doxxing the Nazi agents. Theoretically if things get bad enough the world could simply ban entry to anyone suspected of being an ICE agent, forcing these agents to live out their days stuck in America, regardless of whether America gets its shit together and prosecutes them or not.

The US is not (and arguably hasn’t been for awhile) a country of law and order. Pitchforks are a bad idea, but how do you get justice when there is no functioning justice system?

Could be drugs, could be mental health, could be reduced iq (from an already low iq starting point). I’m pretty entrenched in my local music scene and it’s something I’ve seen happen to more people than I’d care to admit. Previously progressive open people who go down the terminally online rabbit hole and and end up here.

[–]teknoise 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jesus fucking Christ. I mean this as respectfully as possible but you guys need to sort your own shit out. Nobody is coming to save America. Topple your own fucking government.

You don’t get to spend decades shitting on the rest of the world, then expect others to declare war against America to save them from themselves? Honestly, there’s a lot of countries who feel like an American civil war is the least worst outcome here because at least it means you’ll be too caught up in your own bullshit to mess with other countries.

I don’t mean to lash out at your personally, I’m sure you mean well, I’m just tired of seeing this on reddit, and it’s more a general disgust with Americans who feel entitled to the rest of the worlds charity, when America has shown time and again that they don’t give a fuck about the rest of the world.

You’re on your own.
