Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention ( www.theguardian.com )

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

Nah, rfk was able to sustain it for a little bit. In Trump's brain it would file refugee status and emmigrate.

Massively convoluted plan to get bodily autonomy

Avoid toxic masculinity lol

Scubus ,

If a male gets grossed out by the idea of wearing pink, that's toxic masculinity. It's ok to have preferences, like I don't like the color pink" but to be actively repulsed by it shows you have a fear of being emasculated. You have a fear that you might be seen as "not a manly man"

Other examples include being repulsed by rainbows, being afraid of showing your feelings/crying, being afraid of gay people, etc.

Good thing to have are: being willing to have a discussion without trying to "win", get angry or disregard the other person's opinion. Having women friends that you aren't trying to fuck. Having hobbies that are fun, and that you're willing to talk about because they make you excited, without trying to monetize them.

I mean it's better than working 7.50/h also with no benefits. I might not live long, but I'd have three times the money I otherwise would've.

Scubus ,

Fair enough, but, uh, y'all guys need some immigrants?

Scubus ,

Yeah, I've noticed that cancer rates seem particularly low in infants. Maybe that means breast milk and baby food fights cancer? This needs funding, fast.

Scubus ,

I can kinda see Vegeta in so far as they have a mild Saiyan look to them. I suppose it's what could've happened if Vegeta slept with friezas mom.

Trump rally: "this is the worst platform"

Too true

Scubus ,

I feel like I saw a d100 composed of equilateral triangles. Is there an algorithm that determines whether a shape can be composed of equalateral triangles? I'd ask for a proof but I fucking hate proofs.

Scubus ,

When will AOC start beating mtg with a cane?

I'm not pro choice or pro life, I'm just anti-life

Scubus ,

? Pro everything-except-human life maybe

What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member? ( kbin.social )

My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole....

Scubus ,

Far from home is above and beyond their best song imo, followed by coming down

I mean the emancipation proclamation didn't ban slavery, it just banned it in rebelling states by freeing the slaves in those states. It was a year/years later that the 21(?) 13th Amendment was signed that actually banned the practice.

Lincoln didn't want to free the slaves, he just didn't want the south using them as an army.

Scubus , (edited )

The civil war was started over the economics of slavery, not the cancellation of slavery. The south wanted slaves to count towards votes, but not count towards taxes owed. The north refused to allow that, and they decided that slaves didn't count towards either. And since without slaves the southern states had much lower populations, that dramatically diminished their voting power. That is why the civil war started.

Edit:I guess you guys missed the whole 3/5ths comprimise

Scubus ,

What's the doct? And yeah, the south feared the dissolution of slavery but from my understanding that was not what it was about for the north. Hence the 3/5ths compromise.

Scubus ,

So it would seem. A bunch of the sources I was just googling seemed to confirm what I had learned in school, hence this debate. We were never taught about the dotc though, I take it they were a post war group of propagandists?

Scubus ,

I can't think of a single time in the last decade where someone has called my name without me responding "that's not my name tss tss"

Scubus ,

I just add a user note to trolls and then anytime I see them I make sure to let people know not to interact with them

Scubus ,

Leaving a comment in the hopes someone will explain to me too

Scubus ,

I mean to me it's already normalized. He, she, we, porn star

Scubus ,

Could burning down a fourth of the Amazon be bad? No, it's the Chinese who are wrong.

I get that this mostly hurts the civilians when the govt is the one responsible, but if you care about living on this planet their govt should've been overthrown long ago.

Scubus ,

Nah, I'm saying they should've overthrown bolsonaro as soon as he started his shit. I don't know anything about Lula.

Scubus ,

They're referring to the alignment issue, which is an ongoing issue only slightly smaller in scale then warp drive. It's basically impossible to solve. Google "alignment issue machine learning" for more info.

For the record, there have been several advancements in warp drive precursors even just this year.

Scubus ,

what does this tell you about the quality of people coming to the border? Not very good.

By this metric Republicans don't belong here. Are we going to deport everyone with < 120 iq who isn't wealthy, neurotypical, and highly motivated?

Scubus ,

Very few people are advocating open borders, and I haven't seen any politicians doing so. Why are you trying to get clarification on an issue that doesn't exist?

We need migrants

That is the sentence you had an issue with. Admit it.

You don't know how to interpret something being 20% dog 80% fox and 30% wolf? /s

Scubus ,

Yeah connect automatically saves a draft of any comment you make but don't post

The best time was when it saved negative percent by adding a word somewhere

The Beast 1988? Haven't seen it but that's what Google seems to think.

Fail safe 1964?

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the...

Scubus ,

I believe the first building here was contracted around 1920-40

"China executes 60 North Korean refugees"

Scubus ,

I do get that, but I've also got a ton of Texan friends and let's just say 90% of them don't know how to install a lightbulb
