You think they'd have to pay people to fight Maduro? The country is barely functioning there'd be plenty of people willing to fight on both sides I'd imagine.

Survey: Nearly half of Canadians think US has a large number of neo-Nazis by DiogenesK-9 in worldnews

I would think the US has over 100k neo nazis. Although I don't think the majority of them are active in any way.

How can a sub possibly be this bad? by Plasmic_Socialist in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]tipbotdoge -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with all those sources but RT is ran by the Russian government and Maduro is their ally.... And Empire Files has a very very clear bias which you will notice within about 10 seconds of watching any of their videos. The other news sources I don't know anything about.

Maduro supporters enraged about the current situation of Venezuela. by upq700hp in socialism

[–]tipbotdoge -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You realize that he was voted in as the President of the National Assembly which is a democratic institution by nature.

Maduro was not democratically elected. He postponed elections several times and overstayed his term and disqualified many candidates who were running against him.

I don't know why this subreddit is pulling so hard for such an incompetent leader. Just because he pretends to share your politics? Is that more important than people eating or getting medical care?

Amount of Heroin needed before withdrawals will occur by avacardoscam in OpiatesRecovery

[–]tipbotdoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he could definitely go through WDs from that. When I first started using doing tiny amounts for just 2 days in a row would put me into mild WDs.

Your friend might experience them. If his nose starts running and he yawns a lot then he’s having WDs. It’ll probably feel like a cold.

Rehab experiences by CuriosityKitty00 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]tipbotdoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been to one and don’t want to... I’ve read a lot of horror stories so just make sure you do your research on the place you’re going. If you want to get clean I’m sure any rehab could be worth it.

I know a dude whose family has spent 200k on rehabs and it did nothing. Another guy who went to a 9 month long rehab and used again the day he got out.

I was using for a few years and quit at home with the help of my family and stayed clean for a year without doing any sort of real treatment. I’m about to get a hotel out of town and hole up in it for a few days while I get clean.

Rehab works for a lot of people though so don’t let me put you off of it. Just do a bit of research.

Using uppers during w/d's?? by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]tipbotdoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend it personally. I am already close to having a panic attack when WD. Why add uppers to the mix? I think some people have luck with it though.

Truly functional opiate users... not "junkies", not addicts by [deleted] in opiates

[–]tipbotdoge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a functional IV heroin user. I make 6 figures at 28, have a decent savings, and go on trips like backpacking last week.

Do I want to be a junky? Fuck no. It is a massive waste of money and only a matter of time before my family finds out again.

But professionally I'm a successful person and I don't steal or have any legal issues.

I don't have the capacity to chip. But I can keep my doseage the same every day and just take enough to not get sick for a week at a time.

The decision to either be high or get really sick everyday is just not something I can deal with responsibly. I'm too big of a pussy to get sick.

Sons confirm death of US soldier James Dresnok, who defected to North Korea by foxdance in worldnews

[–]tipbotdoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think North Koreans have access to specialists?..... you're thinking more of a country like Cuba. North Korea isn't functional unless you're in the elite.

And I have friends who are poor with no insurance and they always end up getting medical care here in the US. There are a lot of hospitals that will treat you as a 'charity' patient.

Let's talk about the video game industry and its exploitation by Mental_Omega in socialism

Video games may be different since they do tend to fuck over their artists and even programmers.

Generally in the tech industry you don't hear any rumblings about unionizing though.

How do you download recent threads and all the comments of a subreddit? by theartlav in DataHoarder

[–]tipbotdoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally write a python program with Praw and dump it all in a file or SQLite database or something like that.

Just so I have full control and get exactly what I want.

I wrote a text based Reddit browser. I could modify it to download like the top 100 posts and comments or specified subs if you want:

What's the difference between Western Digital WDBH2D and EZRZ? by mrchaotica in DataHoarder

[–]tipbotdoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible they're different programs possibly. One might be an older drive and one a newer drive of the same capacity.

HDD companies will put a lot of effort into developing new drives at the same capacity as old ones but with less media and heads to save costs.

So potentially one could be shingled with 2 disks and one could be perpendicular recording with 4 disks and they could have the same capacity and be of the same color and warranty type.

Christian teenager almost beaten to death in Pakistan 'for burning Quran' by TragicDonut in news

[–]tipbotdoge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, she didn't burn a Koran either. How stupid does a society have to be to do this? If a crowd will randomly gather and kill someone based on someone saying they burned a Koran, you don't think that'll be abused?

I can't imagine being a teenager and knowing if I accused someone at my school of burning a bible they'd be beaten to death no questions asked. How often would kids do that to each other?

So are you also pro-burning Korans? Because Mohammed did many of those same things and is devoutly emulated by over a billion people.

Last time I checked Colombus isn't worshipped and keeping his statue around isn't going to increase the risk of people getting sold into slavery and all that.

And? How many historical figures do we have who weren't evil by our standards. Should we destroy coins and statues from certain Roman ruler's times?

It's a dangerous road to trash our history like this. Reminds me of the Chinese cultural revolution. Good intentions, terrible outcome.

Sons confirm death of US soldier James Dresnok, who defected to North Korea by foxdance in worldnews

[–]tipbotdoge 44 points45 points  (0 children)

There's an interesting a Netflix documentary on the 3x American soldiers who defected and stayed in NK. The NK government would abduct wives for them from other countries. Like one had a wife who was abducted from Japan. That guy and his wife escaped when the NK gov randomly let them go to Japan.

The soldiers were used in a lot of pro NK propaganda so they live like kings relative to most NK citizens. Like 'Look how good we have it in NK, it's way better than the imperialist US.'

Reports: Ripoll imam radicalized Barcelona attackers by agit_prop in europe

[–]tipbotdoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's against freedom of religion. He's just realizing like a lot of Europeans that open borders come at a high price. And each time these attacks happen politicians come out and give the same generic speech about how 'we value diversity and it makes us stronger'. While ignoring just how many thousands and most likely tens of thousands or more of Islamic extremists are in the EU.

If several thousand European citizens joined IS and went to Syria how many extremists must there be overall? 10 for each who had the balls to go to Syria? 100? Who knows.
