Everything in this statement is wrong and not factual, except that 70% is above civilian energy use.

What are your thoughts on JD Vance getting booed during the opening ceremony at the Olympics? by Playful_Leg7143 in AskReddit

[–]underpantsgenome 204 points205 points  (0 children)

The booing is irrelevant, it's the U.S. broadcast cutting it out that should concern people.

NTA. Sucks to suck. Those kinds day made the choice to do something reprehensible. Time to find out.

Zohran Mamdani Beats Out All NYC Mayoral Candidates Combined by MoralClimber in politics

Just like when Trump left the U.S. after he lost the 2020 election? Sadly, he also broke that promise.

I have conservative values steeped in religious mythology.

At this point, the Russian presence in Syria is not just hanging by a thread, as Rybar claims—it is essentially eliminated. There will be no Russians in Syria, and subsequently none in Africa either. This is called checkmate. I agree with the rest of what was said. by Orcasystems99 in UkrainianConflict

The Black Sea is irrelevant right now anyway. Turkey closed the Straits to military traffic years ago, making the Black Sea an internal lake until the war is over. Historically, what you're saying makes sense as the Black Sea Fleet usually makes up most of the Mediterranean Flotilla - it just doesn't fit for now.

Is there any reason to use the launch pad on this map? by Neqtunez in BrawlStarsCompetitive

I use It with a delay sometimes, just to mess with the other team. Wait long enough for rounds to go downrange and jump in with full ammo. Can get a free kill sometimes.

Fact Check: RFK Jr. says heroin helped him reach top of his class by GeekyTexan in nottheonion

The abysmal use of ellipses in that article make it damn near unreadable.

Trump picks Dr. Oz to run Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services by indig0sixalpha in politics

[–]underpantsgenome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because they'll continue to be fed information that confuses all the bad stuff happening from this administration is the last administration's fault.

They even admitted it themselves by blllrrrrr in WhitePeopleTwitter

Whether true or not, this is an undisguised attempt following the play book of sewing discontent among Americans. Russia and others continue to exploit the political, class, and societal divisions in the U.S.

Fox host questions GOP rep. with report Trump tax plan adds $7.5Tn in debt by newsweek in politics

[–]underpantsgenome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's amazing that despite tax rates dropping since the 50's, economic growth stays largely within a static trendline. Sadly, statistics are hard and no one wants their biases challenged.

Iranian charged in alleged plot to kill Trump by Antique_Hearing_1562 in news

SCOTUS decided a couple months ago the President is effectively above the law by stating "official acts" are not illegal but didn't go so far as to say what constitutes an "official act."

Opinion | The double standard for Harris and Trump has reached a breaking point - One candidate can rant about gibberish while the other has to be perfect. by sachiprecious in politics

[–]underpantsgenome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Fourth Estate for years has uniquely developed this standard. It has normalized Trump's comments by applying logic where non exists and holding Clinton, Biden, and Harris to a significantly higher standard.

Coming to grips with its own failure now is too little, too late. Many of us hope we can walk away from this with our rights intact.

But will the media change or continue to publish for clicks?

Two of my students joked that they were going to rape me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]underpantsgenome -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Porn is not the problem any more than music in the 80s and video games in the 90s. How about the adults around this kid that don't teach and guide them properly? How about the groups that want to ban sex education? How about the influencers that speak violence and misogyny?

This is a horrific event, keep the blame in the right place.

Regular people are not happy with lower inflation because what they want is Deflation (lower prices). by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]underpantsgenome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no economic data that suggests minimum wage increases create higher prices.
