It is impressive how the UK makes the US look free in comparison in some metrics.
- Comment on Trump says US Navy will begin Strait of Hormuz blockade after failed talks 4 days ago:
True, I think there is a good chance Netanyahu will use nuclear weapons especially if the US genuinely tries to end the Iran War.
- Comment on Trump says US Navy will begin Strait of Hormuz blockade after failed talks 4 days ago:
Can people stop with this TACO bullshit now? Trump is a coward, which means he will escalate in this war with Iran.
Why is everyone convinced Trump is the type of coward who backs down? He is the type of coward that blindly flails around until their money and power solves the problem. Trump escalates all the time instead of backing down.
The confidence of both the US and Iran here in negotiations really worries me. Obviously the US position is despicable in launching this illegal offensive war but also Iran seems to think Trump and his cronies will back down because they are cowards and that is a CATASTROPHIC miscalculation.
Trump will escalate because he is a coward. I have never been more nervous for the outbreak of nuclear war than I am now because people against the US really don’t seem to understand this.

You ever check up on these cute and heartwearming stories about moms coming home and having a bunch of kids?
I lean in and after looking around with a paranoid expression whisper - They are end up dead in the creek, something is fishy about this…
- Comment on I'd listen to that 1 week ago:
I think it would be best if the show was presented as a festival for podcasts with a string of live performances in a beautiful old theater. What you don’t tell the podcasters is these two will be in the wing loudly interrupting well you do technically tell them you just put it in the annoying small text at the bottom of the agreement they sign.
It is a terrible idea, but also a fantastic idea.
- Comment on New Jersey has no right to ban Kalshi's prediction market, US appeals court rules 1 week ago:
Let the people gamble and do meth. Society and logic be damned.
Also as a leftist I want to point out that there is quite a similar in practice socialist stance to this.
The closest leftist equivalent is -> no matter what we say or how much control we enact over people, some will always gamble and do meth. Decorum and “political correctness” around drugs be damned, we cannot simply cast those people out of society and refuse to help them.
People will gamble and do meth, as leftists we must at a policy level make sure to include these people in our social safety nets and to mitigare harm when it does not take an unethical amount of agency away. We also cannot assume violently taking away drugs from people solves the problem nor that declaring something illegal abdicates our responsibility to witness suffering and try to make things better for everyone.
A leftist believes we should design society to be as kind and supportive to people as possible so that they fulfill their potential and desire to participate in society because of that sense of being valued and empowered.

Prediction markets are a different level entirely though, they are hostile to democracy at a basic level.
You cannot support unbounded prediction markets while supporting democracy, pick one.

I think gambling needs to be at a minimum heavily regulated, it is literally a direct method of transfer of wealth to the ruling class.
Gambling and sports betting is spreading and destroying people’s lives like a pandemic. We have no choice but to mitigate it.

- Comment on I think my sister asked this. But why can't we have a pirate community? Like not teaching how to pirate but just articles on streaming is raising prices, stuff from torrentfreak.com and other things? 1 week ago:
I like sopuli.xyz, mander.xyz is pretty cool, in general I recommend browsing your federated/all feed and checking out the new instance names you see and notice the instance names of the communities and users you seem to vibe with or that talk about things you are interested in.
Make accounts in a couple different places, to a reasonable degree you aren’t wasting anyones time if you want to try out a new instance but don’t end up liking it!

- Comment on The Real Reason Young Men Are Flocking To The Manosphere 1 week ago:
In my forthcoming book, “Therapy Nation,” I argue that our culture has become increasingly fluent in the language of validation and self-analysis while growing less comfortable with challenge, standards, and the harder work of building resilience. Nowhere is that imbalance more visible than in the lives of young men who have been encouraged to interpret themselves endlessly but rarely challenged to build a life.
Nope, this is a toxic as hell way to see people, and honestly it is a way to see people grounded in toxic masculinity.
This article sends completely the wrong message and I find it alarming.
- Comment on Nuclear attack on Iran? UN diplomat resigns to leak plan 2 weeks ago:
If people think Trump hasn’t openly pushed for dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran in meetings with his advisors along with Stephen Miller you are a fool.
If you think Israel and Netanyahu aren’t itching to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran you are a fool.

- Comment on JK Rowling reacts to Harry Potter trailer after 'millennial slop' allegations 2 weeks ago:
It isn’t that I don’t like her opinions, it is that she espouses an ideology that results in material harm to humans and uses her position of fame and fortune to accelerate bigotry.
Not the same as having an opinion I just “don’t like”.
