- Comment on Trump posted this in Truth. 1 week ago:
There will be an activity called an election. It won’t be free, or fair, or allow everyone to vote. The simplest method would be restricting voting locations to those deemed ‘safe from insurrection’ aka counties that voted for Trump.
- Comment on Trump posted this in Truth. 1 week ago:
Insurrection is grounds to declare martial law, remove those in power, and halt elections. He has to push hard enough to force people to fight back.
- Comment on How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone? 4 weeks ago:
My mother in law gets by just fine without hers. But then again, she’s in Arkansas, so I’m not sure if that counts as a modern, or developed country.
- Comment on They don't make 'em like they used to 4 weeks ago:
That’s not like new, it’s dull as shit. And really hard to sharpen.
- Comment on Water Snek 5 weeks ago:
It’s the tidal current throwing the swimmer around. They swam along the same heading the entire time.
- Comment on Chippie owner given ‘devastating’ £40,000 fine by Home office for allegedly illegal hire 1 month ago:
It’s not usually the voters complaining about the fines, it’s the business owners that pay for opposition to them.
- Comment on So that's how they filmed it 1 month ago:
It is real, they did the same for inception and poltergeist. It’s a practical way to let actors walk on walls and such.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 month ago:
Toronto is more bound to US economics than Chinese economics. You could make the same map for every major city and probably tell which they were more influenced by.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 month ago:
I mean sure, if you want to make up your own meaning for right wing, then go for it.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 month ago:
Liberal has nothing to do with peace loving, or pacifism, that’s a right wing delusion they use to pump their courage before committing more atrocities on them. No different than ‘God forgive me for what I’m about to do’.
Right wing revolutions end with the left in political prisons and slavery. Left wing revolutions end with the aristocrats/oligarchs, and their families, in the ground. It’s really just a question of what flavor of violence is about to happen.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 month ago:
The nukes are recent, and probably not tactically functional. It’s purely a cost benefit analysis. As long as NK isn’t in serious motion to cause more damage outside their country, than it’s worth to stop them, no one will.
- Comment on American Allies Want to Redraw the World’s Trade Map, Minus the U.S. 2 months ago:
I feel like I should have studied the fall of the British Empire more. It seems like there would be a lot of useful lessons in there.
- Comment on How Republican E.V. Cuts Could Put U.S. Carmakers Behind China | China’s lead in electric vehicle technology, which is already huge, could become insurmountable if incentive programs are slashed 2 months ago:
Our car companies are dead corps walking. Ice vehicles will end up looking like horse and buggies. Sure they’re a cool hobby toy, but they cost so much more, why would you want one?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It’s morally wrong to make them feel the need to hide. What someone decides to do with their free speech is up to them.
- Comment on 7 year old PC. CPU is getting WICKED hot (up to 100 C) while playing games. is there any software that can underclock/undervolt it? 2 months ago:
If you can’t reach the plugs, most likely the air around them is recycling through that space getting hotter. Put a box fan over there and see if your temps improve.
- Comment on 7 year old PC. CPU is getting WICKED hot (up to 100 C) while playing games. is there any software that can underclock/undervolt it? 2 months ago:
Where your computer is located is too awkward to open, and it’s overheating… you do know that’s likely related?
- Comment on If we humans have a whole range of microbial life living on our skin, do other animals have their own similar micro fauna covering them? 2 months ago:
There’s supposedly a fungus that only grows on the left antenna of one species of moth. So yes there are a lot of unique biomes.

- Comment on ✅🔥 2 months ago:
Ok, now I want one. Pi powered CV to identify fire, and maybe figure out a way to identify what type of fire.
- Comment on Sony will be releasing "Krull" on 4K Ultra HD on September 16. 2 months ago:
Yeah I loved the movie, but I have a feeling 80’s special effects aren’t going to stand up very well in 4k.
- Comment on UK to build 12 nuclear submarines in preparation for potential war with Russia 3 months ago:
I sincerely hope you are correct, but they’re on a full war time economy and building flat out. The real question is if Ukraine can disrupt manufacturing supply lines enough to make a difference. Hitting the bombers helps now, they need to hit the factories making engines for the bombers of tomorrow.
- Comment on UK to build 12 nuclear submarines in preparation for potential war with Russia 3 months ago:
I’m not saying he’ll win by any means. That’s what he thinks he’s building up for though. Putin seems of the opinion if he can slowly bleed Ukraine then if/when he pushes into NATO, they’ll be tapped out, and he can win with meat grinder tactics, as long as the US doesn’t show up. Which is possible with Trump knee capping our military, and bringing in a lot of meat shields from North Korea, and maybe a bunch of Chinese that Xi doesn’t like.
What I don’t think he gets, is that Poland alone could very likely erase Russia, right now. And they would very much not be alone. And they’re backed stopped with French and UK nukes. So there’s a hard limit to how far he’s going to get. Although I think the world will be a much worse place if France has to use their nuclear warning shot doctrine.
- Comment on UK to build 12 nuclear submarines in preparation for potential war with Russia 3 months ago:
it usually takes 10 years to build a nuclear submarine. 5 to 7 years just for construction. Putin is building to attack in less than 4.
Someone needs a time machine.
- Comment on Will using an additional trolling motor significantly speed me up? 3 months ago:
Better bet would be just a bigger motor, or gas power if you can plane. Two motors need a rudder or coordinated pivots that get finicky to mess with.
- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 4 months ago:
Tariffs always raise prices. Sometimes they do protect local industry, by raising prices so that local industries can compete against foreign competitors. At least for a time. Usually it leads to the eventual failure of the industry due to making less competitive products.
- Comment on FBI issues warning over scammers impersonating agents to steal your money 4 months ago:
True, but the FBI does hate competition.
- Comment on Tariff 5 months ago:
Better than handing all of the developing world to China on a golden platter, while crippling our entire economy.
- Comment on Tariff 5 months ago:
Y’all remember TPP. Guess what that was about? Who tanked that again?
That’s right, just shut the fuck up.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 5 months ago:
Right wingers have, or cause, trouble in open forums, so most social media that isn’t operated as a walled garden, tends to be more left leaning.
