JD Vance Was Born James Donald Bowman But Changed His Name 3 Times? [PARTIALLY TRUE]
  • This points out one of the evilest parts of the Republican party and that is the fact that their political opinions have nothing to do with their actual beliefs and are only a way for them to hurt other people. At the end of the day they don't care if someone changes their name or what bathroom they use, but talking about these things in relation to transgender issues is a way for them to cause pain to others which is the only point to anything for Republicans.

    People that say things like "I'm not a conservative but I'm voting for Trump/Bush/Romney" are really saying they're only voting for the fascist parts and don't really care about the fiscal policy as long as they get to cause undeserved pain to someone. And remember, if it's not undeserved pain then they're not into it. It's must be undeserved or at the very last disproportionately cruel.

  • So much siding, but it keeps getting worse
  • This is the first time I've seen a "it just keeps getting worse" post and actually agreed. I went in n just expecting terrible siding, then the inside of the house, then the chairs, then the lights, then more chairs, the carpet, the exposed wiring, why are there chairs there?, it just kept escalating. Thank you for this.

  • Protestation
  • I didn't even learn about the Haymarket bombing until I was thirty. It's like Armistice day became memorial day and no one is ever told that it was originally a day to reflect on the horrors of war and now it's all just olive drab hero worship. We are intentionally under educated in the US

  • Appeal
  • Apparently this flag has been used recently by Drumpf's supporters, specifically those that think the election was stolen, and it was seen flying outside Alito's summer home.

  • [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
  • Because the idea that there are vegans and vegetarians is an implied accusation of guilt to people that eat meat and animal products that are the direct result of animal suffering. Some people that don't eat animal products might be militant or preachy, but I've never met one. In fact I have only ever met the inverse, people that constantly berate people for being vegan or vegetarian. Having been one myself, I can say that for me and people I know it is the same reason religious people hate atheists; their existence implies that people that eat meat are wrong and therefore bad people. Studies have confirmed this. Here is an article from the BBC that goes over some of the studies.

  • World’s biggest experimental nuclear fusion reactor launched in Japan
  • Private businesses engage in extremely risky enterprises everyday, it's why things like explicit liability exist. The issue with something like this is their cost benefit analysis tells them that succeeding would create diminishing rates of return. Solving fusion reaction for the purposes of generating electricity eliminates a form of scarcity. Scarcity or manufactured scarcity is the only thing that enables corporations to continually increase profits.

  • Even in religious circles the forgiveness part is normally left out. The phrase often repeated is "Jesus died for your sins" without any mention of forgiveness. Since that is the common turn of phrase then this depicts children suffering/dying because of the sins of someone else.

  • Check on your male friends to see if they need help
  • When my dad died my wife, myself, and our two boys, moved in with my mom because she has no idea how to take care of normal life stuff. My brother lives in the same property as her and couldn't be bothered to check in on her because he was, understandably, distraught. For two years of living there my mom leaned on me but only ever asked me once how I was doing, my wife only ever complained about living there and never asked how I was doing, yet insisted we should stay if I suggested leaving. I have three super close friends, and I don't think I would have made it without them.

    Check in on your friends, even when they're not going through something traumatic, because you may be the only one who does.

  • Target CEO says shoppers are pulling back, even on groceries
  • Because it's misleading at best. If you and I were racing and I moved at twice your speed for four hours it would be misleading to say you were outpacing me when you start moving faster than me for four minutes. Just because you are now faster than me you are still very far behind and therefore it makes no material difference how fast you are currently moving. American workers are still in a hole caused by stagnant wages and corporate price gouging that's lasted for decades.

  • Martials don't even get anything from a 5th level multiclass into another martial class
  • Ironically he hates playing it because of all the extra rules, but loves creating characters because of all the extra rules. Writing that out I think I just realized if I take out BAB progression and replace it with proficiency bonuses and have multi attack rules just be 5e rules I think all his issues would evaporate.

  • As a Tom Scott Fan and TTRPG DM, I love this and hate how true it is
