I don’t think that Einstein was a Nazi, from the information I have seen. I think that seeing every German as “the opposition” is itself a pretty fascist position to take.
The true opposition is not people of different nationalities, it is people of a different class. That is, the “owners” who exploit the working class by claiming ownership of the fruits of their labor.
Good for them.
Profound incompetence seems like a possibility tbh. They absolutely should have known about it but it sure seems like they’re basically just fucking around, not taking things seriously. So I’d definitely believe that they saw an Iranian warship pull up and were like “WTF is that doing there? Kill it!”.
I don’t think that should excuse their actions, but it does seem like a believable chain of events.
Well, for me it was easy because my wife is also transfem and she had clocked that I was probably trans before we even started dating. When I said I wanted to transition she was like “Egg cracked?”. XD
Those things she mentioned all seem pretty aligned to left vs right to me. Welcome to the left, MTG.
Not that I expect her to be in any way consistent about supporting those values. I just think she’d have an aneurism from being welcomed to the left. XD
It’ll be “fun” to see how they spin it so that the constitution says that the president has a power that it explicitly gives to congress.
Yeah, actually, that brings up a good point. If poll taxes are unconstitutional and you have to pay to get your ID card, then ID requirements for voting should also be unconstitutional.
There are many people who hold the views of both Christianity and trying to be good, but they don’t realize that their Christian views misdirect their efforts to be good (sometimes towards active harm instead).
If God is omnipotent like they believe, then it should not be possible to harm God and therefore it should not be possible to sin against God. Any harm that befalls God would be purely voluntary on his part.
If their account of God is correct, he’s definitely not a good person, choosing to punish all future generations for something that didn’t really harm him at all.
To play devil’s advocate real quick, that system has no teeth in actually stopping kids from signing up to services. I remember lying about my birthday for Neopets to register an account - and later I couldn’t remember what I said it was originally. So if we assume that services should be responsible for keeping kids out of adult spaces, then some form of verification is necessary.
In reality, I don’t think I agree with that assumption. I lean toward things being free and open - including potentially letting kids access adult spaces. There are certainly dangers in that but I don’t think that segregation and surveillance are the best way to address those dangers. If anything, segregating kids into “for kids” parts of the internet puts them at much more risk of abuse because the abusers can go there to find a target-rich environment with few adult onlookers to expose them.
I love him. <3
Interior walls in the US are typically made with a wood or metal frame inside and a sheet of gypsum drywall on each face. How well they get block sound depends on how thick the drywall is. It’s no surprise that a bullet would go through the drywall though. Presumably it did not hit a stud.
It’s like the spider man glasses meme. Maybe on purpose.
What about the part where Trump burned all goodwill with the rest of the world through his trade war and actual wars? He tanked the US’s export market at the same time that he’s tanking the domestic market. There are other wealthy consumers, but they’d rather be buying from literally anyone else besides the US.
Who do they expect to buy their $300 shoes, then?
This seems like the biggest stretch of the “national security” justification I’ve heard yet.
Is he planning to make the nation “secure” by making it so much of a shithole no one wants to go there?
Hey, I’ve seen this one before.
Last time it was crypto instead of AI, but other than that it’s just the same shit again.
I don’t think that’s anything close to a “secret”.
It’s true that there were a bunch of Nazi scientists that were welcomed into the US. I don’t think that that’s really to blame for the US’s fascist tendencies, though. The US has always had fascist tendencies. If anything the US welcoming Nazi scientists is a reflection of the way that the US already was, rather than something that corrupted the US.
