Hypothetically, what would you expect to observe if someone is hated by about half the world for anything unrelated to goats?

If you don’t need 5 you can just buy one LH pencil and sharpen the other end. It works just as a right handed one then.
- Comment on drones ruin all the fun for US 2 days ago:
You could get a few stray drones exploding over the US mainland but do you think it would stop them from invading?
Cuba can’t produce any significant amount of drones without imports. Being an island in the US backyard they can be blockaded with ease. Iran can still import their stuff over land.
It’s relatively easy to bomb every launch site on a tiny island compared to Iran.
It’s also easier to cover every path a drone could take from Cuba and still reach anything of value. You have tons on well supplied air bases that can use relatively cheap munitions launched from fighters instead of using dwindling supplies of patriot missiles.

- Comment on Hope my birth control works 1 week ago:
Next time consider an orderly queue and a “please deposit DNA sample here” sign. Just in case the birth control acts up.

Yeah I wish I had half that energy.
- Comment on Is it possible to not know who a famous person is? 4 weeks ago:
Very much possible. I have seen the names you mention but I’ve got no idea what either are famous for.
If I had to guess I’d say porn star and binge drinking.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
The opposite. If you’re aware of your limitations, mistakes, flaws and such you’re the first one I’ll ask for an opinion.
- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 4 weeks ago:
Trust by who? Europe? China? US citizens?
For Europe we will probably go back to normal trade relationship after a few terms without a MAGA.
European defense will prioritise domestic spending, which was probably the intention because we can then sell you bombs if you end up in a conflict with China.
European IT spending will also favour domestic stuff instead of American companies for a very long time, but without any upside like the arms industry.
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 4 weeks ago:
The region is still very important from a geopolitical standpoint. As last months oil prices have shown.
Israel don’t have (m)any friends in the region. They are a reasonably stable democracy. This makes them a dependable ally. What would happen if there was a revolution in Saudi Arabia for example? Probably something similar to Iran 1979.
So having Israel as an ally is a huge multiplier in power projection in the region.
Why do you need to project power when it’s so expensive? It’s sort of what superpowers do. Meddle in the affairs of smaller countries to further their own goals. If not the US then Russia or China.
- Comment on Has there ever been a country who did not have an enemy or pick a fight? And was pretty much like all of you do you we will do us. kind of like isalationism but charitable when it counted? 4 weeks ago:
They did not stay out of war by not being armed, rather the opposite. A mountainous country with a large army would be very difficult to invade in the first place and then very costly to control.

The Swiss have managed to stay out of wars for a very long time and are famously neutral.

Do you prefer an orderly queue or more of a moshpit scenario for your gangbangs?
- Comment on Why do we dance and hop when we desparstely need to go number 1? 5 weeks ago:
My guess? At some point an actor on stage had to show the audience that the character really need to pee. Whatever movement they did evolved to the dance we have now over generations. We don’t do it because it helps but because it’s what you’re supposed to do.
I’d be surprised if it was consistent across cultures. I’d not be surprised if someone had done research on this.

That would make long distance relationships easier.

- Comment on So... is Iran blocking the Strait thing and then the US is also blocking it? So is it like... double blocked? Is it like "no you can't close the Strait, I'm closing it"? 5 weeks ago:
Iran blocked it for any ship that did not pay a toll to iran. US is blocking it for every ship that did pay the toll.
If you’re depressed I suggest turning off the news. Won’t cure it but I don’t think it’s a source of happiness to you.

If you do call them and they say its okay I owe you and your parents a high five (no home delivery)

What’s your ruling on “the ol’ pool noodle”? Asking for a friend.
- Comment on In the US or in Europe can I choose the way I want to go out? like maybe like a viking by setting a boat on fire while my body is on it? Or be shot out of a cannon HST style? or whatever? 5 weeks ago:
Maybe but probably not. There are usually fairly comprehensive regulations about what you’re allowed to do with human remains.
Local environmental regulations where I live make it illegal to set fire to a wood boat too because they are treated with chemicals that makes them water proof and rot resistant.
I know because I’ve considered a viking style funeral too, but in the end I’m dead and won’t care. so why go thorough the legal trouble when I’m alive?

In what meaning of the word? They seem to not favour small government and deregulated economy.

Are there any conservatives here? I’ve never seen a more left biased echo chamber than Lemmy.
- Comment on If you were in Jail would you stick withe bible or be interest in other religions? 5 weeks ago:
The question itself is fine but the presumption in the question that there exists no people with different faith or opinion, or that they are not worth asking rubbed me the wrong way.
