Then you learn that the “something” they want to do is the exact opposite direction of what solving the problem would look like. It takes 2 seconds of critical thought to realize I’d much rather stick with the “milquetoast centrists” than ever consider voting for regressive conservatives.
People always point to the worst of the worst to justify the death penalty, but it’s not about them. It’s about us. I just picture people who support the death penalty the same as medieval peasants cheering on the gruesome torture and execution of a criminal like its some kind of entertainment. People need to do more introspection about what part of their personality they are feeding when they give in to the desire for vengeance. That’s not even taking into account that no justice system is perfect.
Well if the current front lines are pretty entrenched, and it’s hard to take back occupied Ukrainian land, then just go take unprotected Russian land to make it even. Didn’t Putin say he was up for a truce if the current lines were kept? Let’s see how he feels about that when he has to give up Russian land. At the very least it will force Russia to relocate troops and resources.
While you might be right, it is a civic duty to vote. Your mindset is too dangerous, which is why the right-wing trolls try pushing it. Voting even why you know it won’t make a difference is the most basic thing you can do to push back. Who knows what could happen if we get enough people out of that mindset. Simply voting, regardless of who for, is an event that every American should take pride in.
But… but it was the house that passed it… the house is currently run by republicans…
(Joke starts at 30sec.)
I don’t know much about investing, but i wonder if it would it be a good time to short those companies?
This is what the passive income 1% crowd tell the rest of us.
I wonder how much more energy it took to accomplish that compared to just shooting a rocket. Last I had heard railguns weren’t really feasible because of the absurd amount of energy they would require even with perfect efficiency.
For me, every time it suggests the correct base word, it gets the ending wrong, so I have to type out the whole word anyway. For example, if I want past tense it’ll suggest the present tense of the word.
I never thought about it that way. Basically any algorithm that sorts posts could be argued to be censorship. But you can’t sort based on straight vote either because of fake accounts and bots. I guess we are just doomed to be manipulated.
I remember reading something about possibly using some kind of AI to take over when being jammed, so that it still hits the target.
They found classified documents at this location. Why the hell would they leave without opening every door? This seems very basic to me…
Yes and we shouldn’t let them bring us down to their level. First strike is never justified, but second strike in response could be. They don’t care about their people, so they probably want to goad others into nuking them. It would free them up to use theirs and claim it’s justified. Let’s not play into their hands.
I understand the posturing. Attacking the EU needs to be presented as a terrible idea, but when people start talking about using nukes loosely, then the other side might also consider them fair game. I guess, in my opinion, using first strike nukes is never justified, and if the EU or anyone does it then they’re no better than the aggressors. I would prefer we hold ourselves to higher standards instead of letting the bad actors bring us down to their level.
Maybe reasonable would be a better word.
Once someone uses a nuke, everyone will, and then everyone’s dead anyway.
Can we stop talking like using nukes could somehow be reasonable. The thought of using a first strike nuke should be considered beyond outrageous and any leader that even remotely considers it should be ran far away from any position of authority.
Edit: understandable - reasonable
He clearly learned nothing.
I doubt he would have said anything unless it matched the party line, so its not completely uninformative. The problem I see is that I’m pretty sure that this peace solution has been proposed in the past, and it was the Palestinians who rejected it.
Some issues really don’t straight up exist. Outrage TV will always come up with something to stir people up. Other issues are pretty complicated without any promising solutions, so it may just seem like they’re being ignored. Conservatives will focus on those and claim to have the answer, but then their answer is something like “to eradicate poverty we need to put poor people in jail”.
