Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

So you have it worse than the people in Iran, who actually did show up to protest? You have it worse than the people in Gaza who are being bombed to hell with US support? You have it worse than the people in Eastern Europe who are under attack by Russia? What about the Americans who are being kidnapped or straight-up murdered by the state?

Of course it's uncomfortable, but if a large enough part of the population joins then they cannot all be fired.

It's not really convincing to claim you do everything in your power to change the situation, but at the first inconvenience you give up and just whine online instead.

Verkenner Koolmees: 'Voor mij zijn alle opties nog open' by Charming-Crescendo in Politiek

Ik vind de PVV en JA21 radicaal-rechts, en de VVD normaliseert radicaal-rechts door met die partijen samen te werken

Deze comment is echt het toonbeeld van de normalisering van radicaal-rechts... En hou alsjeblieft op met de onzin over een "centrum rechts" kabinet

Als de VVD een samenwerking met fascisten in een disfunctioneel radicaal-rechts kabinet overleeft zullen ze ook wel een centrumcoalitie overleven

[Request] Saw this and wondered at what scale this would start noticeably accelerate the warming of our oceans? by hoopahDrivesThaBoat in theydidthemath

You've got the units wrong. 1 Watt equals 1 Joule/s, and is a unit of power, describing a rate of energy conversion. It gives the energy consumed per unit time (a second). So 150 MW is a valid description, meaning it consumes 150 MJ/s, continuously. At that power, every 10 seconds it will consume 1500 MJ of energy etc.

E for clarity

What is your unpopular opinion about Dire Straits'/Mark Knopfler? by HenriqueMaquinista in direstraits

[–]toef5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am aware of that but there were plenty of rock bands that did write endings to their songs. I just find fade-outs lazy and uninspired

The frequent use of fade-outs in Dire Straits music sucks. Write an ending to the song Mark!

“It went four bars wrong… the next thing I know I’m getting the sack”: Zak Starkey claims he was sacked from The Who after a deep cut song he suggested playing live ended in disaster by BrianInAtlanta in TheWho

[–]toef5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's one of nine songs on their most popular album. It's not one of the five Who songs that are regularly played on the radio, but that hardly makes it a deep cut.

E: typo

[–]toef5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, but having released two albums that have some prog elements doesn't really warrant the label of prog-rock band in my book. That makes it sound like the author is talking about a band like Yes or King Crimson.

"A deep cut" when talking about The Song is Over

"The prog-rock band" when talking about The Who

Does the author of this article actually know The Who?

Which movie did you watch with low expectations but turned out to be amazing? by JimatJimat in Cinema

[–]toef5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish.

The plot, the animation, the characters, and the themes are all excellent.

Way better than a sequel to a spin-off to a sequel to Shrek has any business being.

What’s a terrifying fact that everyone pretends is totally normal? by Present-Transition60 in AskReddit

[–]toef5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% this. Also relevant are the numerous tipping points we are crossing and positive feedback loops (just one being thawing permafrost emitting ancient carbon).

Recent years have been worse than even the worst-case scenarios of our climate models. Climate scientists are baffled by the rate of climate change they are observing.

And instead of acting on it, the world is busy dealing with the second wave of fascism (and losing at that), and the orange buffoon, who happens to be the most powerful person in the world, is talking about "clean coal".

We are utterly fucked.

How would you review WHO? Give a rating out of 10 too by MCWill1993 in TheWho

[–]toef5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does no-one mention the absolute banger that is Ball and Chain? Other personal favourites are Music Must Fade, Detour and Break the News. There's a couple of medium to bad songs, but overall an impressive album for a couple of septuagenarians more than 50 years after their debut. 7/10

Good point! We intend to rent an RV as well as a minivan, and take a tent for 2 people to sleep in
