  It was never subtle, you were just naive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck, space cowboy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t they get the One Piece and just find out it’s actually just one piece (1/8th) of the real McGuffin they thought they were looking for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brb, gomna sample some sci-fi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did the British write Fallout?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New aunt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Likely fake, but also, he knows bro

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would climate change be like on a Type 1 world on the Kardashev scale?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Our planet already captures almost al of that energy and almost all of it becomes heat immediately. Not too much would change climate-wise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is being apolitical and being Independents in politics the exact same thing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Independent means you’re not sure which side of the table you’re going to sit on today, while apolitical means you aren’t at the table at all (and thus you are on the menu, as the saying goes).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting problem⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hiding that stuff from a dog briefly just for transit is already hard. You will not keep your stash away from it for long at home, especially if you use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got one of those SUV's with an outside spare tire? Well here's a great tire cover⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So many things are happening now, I hope he’s okay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dealing With An Aussie Phone Company⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am steadily liking Australia more and more over the past decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Reagan's second term like Douche In Chief second term? Where it was finally revealed Regan had full alzheimers for the majority of his second? Were there signs the public saw something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What I’ve heard about is more about Ritalin abuse, but it’s not actually that different IIRC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Democratic Socialists have a chance to do the funniest thing in New Hampshire. Karishma Manzur is within striking distance of oligarch errand boy Chris Pappas.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  NH guy here. It’s complicated. She hasn’t made the splash other emerging progressives have. I like her and what she represents as a candidate. I’ve shaken hands with her. I will vote for her in the primary.

  But it’s a bit of a scary move to make. I’m worried that the party won’t give her the support she needs if she makes it, or that she won’t take the reins very effectively if the party does properly back her.

  It’s a bit of a leap of faith to try to give her the nomination. Pappas is a decently secure win by the polling I’ve read about. Manshur is a wild card who could crush it or fizzle out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cross Posting To The Correct Community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, no, common mistake. Shitposts are different from shit posts, and are also distinct from posts about shit, though there may be some overlap. That meme belongs nowhere but the demented bowels of the data center it came from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While this is kinda true, none of the policies the Republican party pushes off this line of propaganda will help at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't smaller countries get together with other smaller countries and form a "bloc" that could go in the game of the big "Superpowers"? Instead of the US, RUS, and China all the time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mark Carney proposed this last year. I suspect that things are happening behind the scenes to enact this idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drowning in grid scale batteries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no joke though. It doesn’t fail to be funny, it’s not intended to be funny at all. It’s just propaganda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people in the military think Pete Hegseth is a dipshit? And when he does changes they just placate him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If there weren’t, we’d be under martial law right now and the 50501 protests would have been massacred.

  Now, I can’t begin to guess how many, beyond the fact that it’s enough to prevent the real Soviet-style dipshit psychopath shit from happening. But it’s at least that many.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those moutains are so quaint⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wikipedia says they date back 480 million years, during the Ordovician period. I think the atmosphere would have been pretty breathable, but plants wouldn’t conquer the land in a serious way for at least another 60 million years or so, with bugs following them. Nothing saw those mountains. If you time-traveled to the Pangean mountains, you would be the only being to ever observe them in their formative years. Eons would pass before the first plant set root at their feet. The sterile and desolate emptiness would be beyond human experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would a disk shaped planet have uniform gravity like earth or would it vary depending on whether you're near the center or edges?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The further you are from the center, the more skewed the gravity would be towards the center. I think that as the diameter approaches infinity while the thickness stays the same, that evens out a lot, but it will never become perfect near the edges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll certainly get the point across

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Obama wing of the Democratic Party is declaring “war” on progressives. Why don’t they ever bring this energy against Trump? Why do they hate working class people even more?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I’m not sure if they’re doing any better against us than they are against the people they’re supposed to be fighting. Worse, IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On so many occasions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans are starting to realize they've been giving socialism a ton of free advertising. Now they're going to start advertising communism.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They jumped the shark when they called Biden a radical

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planned Armageddon Incoming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gonna surprise the absolute fuck out of me if China does anything more than sell large volumes of mildly shitty gear to the Iranians or Russia has any spare military power for Iran either. China’s looking at Taiwan and neighboring countries once the USA is weak, not the Middle East.

  I believe this was the plan once for reasons I don’t want to get into, but nobody’s grand plan is working right now. How about you tell your masters we actually have plenty of resources for our current population if we stop being such cocks about it. Let them know their heads are so far up their asses they can’t tell a fart from a sunny breeze, and that the foundation is crumbling under their bullshit too. Because they’re fucking degenerates and they’re actually stupid, and their control is not as complete as they think. They won’t see it til their towers are going down with them, but it’ll be funnier if they were warned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The list⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, I thought this was about Epstein

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there ever going to be the equivalent of the Reichstag fire for Trump? Or have we already passed the false flag event?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll be in late September to mid October if it happens, but I think it might be too late. His people are already questioning the Butler PA event and the trust needed to pass bullshit over them seems to be eroding. Fascists do not do well when people even wonder whether they’re telling the truth or not.

  We need to be prepared for a variety of scenarios like election fraud, refusal to leave, or refusal to seat the new congress. But I think the propaganda game is more or less lost for the assholes.

  The situation could be good though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I come from down your way⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This sub is for shitposts, not shit posts.

  AI does get trained on a lot of porn. At least the weirdly horny figures are adult here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do I go for unbiased news in the world without it having an ulterior motive or kissing ass to the establishment of said country?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I follow NYTimes to learn what the big money wants to talk about and ProPublica to learn what the big money doesn’t want to talk about. Between the two of them, I think I stay decently well informed. In theory, I could know all things if I read them enough.

  No such thing as unbiased news. Even Associated Press and Reuters make decisions about what to report on. Those are two solid choices too, by the way. Pretty flat and even-handed.
