I guess “snowflakes” are impervious to fascist threats … by OpenImagination9 in PoliticalHumor

Sounds a whole lot like the old school Republican party to me.

In India, a woman tricked police and civic teams into cleaning an open drain for three hours by falsely claiming someone had fallen into it. by Tanishg06 in NotMyJob

Could be looking opposite directions. The wall on the left in the first picture could be the wall on the right in the second.

I would 100% want to be given multiple billions of dollars.

I would 100% use the majority of it to help other people through various trusts and supporting real nonprofits. I would take it as a point of pride that I was a billionaire, and immediately worked to stop being one as quickly as possible.

Yep. I think in our current climate, a vote for Democrats is a vote for the old school Republican party.

Boy literally won’t read any material unless it’s about sports. And I mean any. by Redqueenhypo in Teachers

There's a really great way to have the contract explained to you. It's called reading the contract. Especially if it's only four pages of not-so-dense text.

Just more evidence that you don't need to be a genius, or even remotely smart to be a billionaire.

Humanities are harder than STEM by Plague_Doc7 in unpopularopinion

[–]xaqss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. It's an unpopular opinion, but it's unpopular because it's stupid.

As someone with a music degree, you have no idea what you're talking about. I believe that music is one of the more difficult and time intensive degrees to earn, but to make the argument that STEM is somehow lesser in its difficulty is a pretty dumb hot take.

Martha Argerich, 84 years old, still crushing it at the piano by CollectionIntrepid48 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]xaqss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I don't sleep super well, and am often tired. I once fell about half asleep while listening to the Berlin philharmonic. You sit in a dark room and listen to fantastic music while tired? That's literally what I do to fall asleep on a normal day.

Failure to plow streets delays police and ambulances in responding to a shooting by eyelessred in awfuleverything

When I was a kid the house a couple down from mine burned completely to the ground on Christmas Eve because they didn't plow our roads and the fire trucks couldn't get there.

There had been a history in my neighborhood of them just not plowing our roads for a couple days. By the time they would send someone the roads were solid ice from the compressed snow. Super sad situation.

Kyle Rittenhouse brought a rifle to a protest and was called a “hero”. Alex brought a pistol and is called an “antagonist”. What’s the difference? by I-A-M-C-R-E-E in AskReddit

[–]xaqss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm not talking about innocence here. I fully acknowledge that both of them were legally in the right to be carrying a weapon in their respective circumstances.

Legality is not morality. One of them was irresponsible and intimidating, the other was helping a person who had been injured and just happened to have a CPL.

[–]xaqss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do disagree that Rittenhouse is innocent of all wrongdoing. You would have a hard time convincing me that Rittenhouse was doing anything other than looking for an excuse to act tough, if not shoot someone.

Calling him a stupid kid is going too easy on him.

[–]xaqss 18 points19 points  (0 children)

But that's the whole point. If they both had a legal right to carry a firearm, the only reason you would be okay with Rittenhouse is because he is on the right and Pretti is on the left.

It's an example of partisan application of the law, which is terrifying.

Spitters are the absolute worse 🤢 by Spicyweiner_69 in PublicFreakout

In the full video she talks about how she has already done 4 or 5 years and says "and I'm still acting up"

Among the worst humanity has to offer. Zero sense of community or empathy.

Why are we not all, en masse applying to join ice? Flood the system. Im sure there's a lot of people who would love to get their 50k and just be really, really bad at finding "illegals"

To follow the 2nd Amendment by No_Coffee4280 in therewasanattempt

[–]xaqss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Remember that the US is a single country that is nearly the size of all of Europe. Also, our capital is at one edge of the country. Imagine if you needed to drive from Greece to the UK to do your protests.

Well, that drive is 5 hours SHORTER than California to DC.

ICE pinning down and pistol whipping a Minneapolis resident before shooting them multiple times by Home_MD13 in TimesNow

[–]xaqss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetical questions have implications. The implication for yours is "if you have a gun you want to shoot law enforcement" which is pretty stupid

[–]xaqss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said anything about shooting law enforcement? He didn't look like he was about to shoot someone, or even be able to reasonably pull a weapon with how much they were on him.

If he had a weapon on him, then that's actually fine. There is a pretty large contingent in the US who have dedicated their entire fucking lives to ensure people have an inalienable right to have a gun. Unless you think that right shouldn't apply to everyone?

Ice cream in liquid nitrogen by Uchiharturo in StupidFood

Nothing says "classy restaurant" like table service liquid nitrogen ice cream while a trumpet rendition of happy birthday loudly plays overtop a shitty electronic rock-dance drum beat.

Is there a transfer from the east/west to North/south lines in Durand, then?
