The behind the bastards subreddit (which I think is connected to the show) was censoring posts about the Zionist entity's ongoing genocide and they seem to be NATO shills overall. Robert Evans is a fed (or at the very least fed-adjacent). If I were you I'd pick something else.

Titanium camping gear could also possibly be a fit?

If it's about "saving money" (like duct tape is cheaper than a mechanic), it could be "penny wise, pound foolish"?

Fuck Karen Bass. I wish her a very long COVID. Can't believe I voted for this piece of shit.

This was her response to a clash between pro Palestine protesters and Zionist counter protestors outside a synagogue: https://x.com/MayorOfLA/status/1805110392806642141

What were the protests about? The synagogue was hosting an event advertising land for sale to Jewish Americans in the West Bank. How anyone could think that the protests are antisemitic with this context is beyond me. I hate this weaponized victimhood that these Zionists employ.

I fucking hate this bazinga brained "throw precaution (and/or regulations) to the wind" bullshit. I know that's like the SV MO but it makes me really just want to go out and do something really cool.

melon-musk speech-side-l-1 "Oh yeah let's just send thousands of new satellites up every year and every 5 years we'll let them burn up upon reentry and send up more!" speech-side-l-2

Another thing, and I know these techbrained libertarian types don't understand this, is that even if you accept this is something that humanity needs, you certainly don't need companies competing by each running their own satellite arrays. This is a natural monopoly to end all natural monopolies.

Yeah actually it seems that SawStop is being very disingenuous with this where they're trying to lobby for this "safety" bill to be passed that makes it so only they can sell table saws. If they really cared about safety, they should make the patent free for all to use like the 3 point seatbelt

sicko-wistful

Pulling out of NATO might be the most brain dead political stance I've ever heard. Anyone who honestly believes such an action would be a good idea is either a literal traitor or a moron of the highest order.

I'm proud to be a traitor to the US empire

When I broke my collarbone in Amerika, I asked my friends to drive me to the urgent care (lmao can't afford to go to a hospital) instead of taking an ambulance. Even an Uber would have been like $50 from where I was

Love voting for the lesser of two evils candidate who won't let women wearing a hijab in to their campaign rallies! Can you imagine the lib reaction if this happened at a Trump event?

some real great takes here bootlicker

I was brought up in a household that was anti military.

Only as an adult was I able to form my own opinion.

Without a strong military in the past we would certainly not be here today and without a strong military now, who knows what other nation might decide to attack our sovereignty.

It's childish to be anti military - it shows you do not understand the interconnectedness of our society - good and bad.

It's disingenuous to ignore the effect the aggression of the cold war and its aftermath had on the current Russian situation.

Bro, I don't know what warped version of reality you live in, but without a strong American military to stand up to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, you'd be speaking Russian right now. Ukraine blew their chance to join NATO as soon as possible like everyone else did when the Cold War ended, and they are now being slaughtered en masse by Russia in their attempts to turn them into their newest southwestern oblast.

As a liberal raised during the backlash to the Iraq War, my attitude towards the Military Industrial Complex has really changed in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s seemingly inevitable invasion of Taiwan. Add in the possibility that the US could be dragged into new wars in the Middle East and even possibly South America, and I really don’t think we have the luxury to say “weapons bad, let’s not build any”.

Being the policeman of the world absolutely sucks. War absolutely sucks. But one of the best ways to prevent China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc from saying “might make right, let’s take this land and these resources from our neighbors, since no one can stop us” is for the US to say, “no, we will stop you and we have the will and the tools to easily do it.”

who's responsible for the US choosing to police the world? who-did-this

The US is the most benign empire one could wish for. History makes that plain, and just peeking over the fence at contender's tendencies and track record further reinforces that. Easy moral justification backed by actual moral justification.
