Just let good news be good news brother. We need more of it in the world right now.

Good thing I have too much tolerance for walking in a crowd or am in too much of a hurry to walk at any definitive pace lol.

I’d imagine its a selectively inforced rule just like every platform

It doesn’t mention specific cases, but there’s a local man who described his time working on radar arrays during his time in the Navy before he was medically discharged. His explanation of events was that he turned off the array while he was performing maintenance on a specific radar antenna, but someone turned it back on when he was still working. He said he heard the array come back online and stopped working, but there was thermal damage done to his testes.

I have no reason to doubt him because clearly its possible. But the primary point stands. There’s enough evidence within the military to warrant safety guidelines when working with radar emitters.

Yeah, xrays are also radio waves. That doesn’t make them inherently less dangerous. Plenty of people have made mistakes around ground and ship based radar systems too and have accidentally cooked their insides. Just because 5G conspiracy theorists took over that argument doesn’t mean it has no basis in reality.

My first reply was pretty aggressive. Sorry about that. My emotional regulation is not so good late in the day. Still I don’t think we need to cater to perceived centrism. I can acknowledge that Mamdani had to overcome 2 parties to get elected, but he won the NYC mayoral race by 9.5 points despite running against an independent candidate endorsed by the incumbent mayor and with massive investment in his campaign by AIPAC and a laundry list of Republican PACs. I think that’s significant enough of a spread to overcome the thought that being leftist makes you unappealing to upstate independent voters. Given Mamdani’s performance so far, if he can keep gaining support through political action, I see no reason why a leftist candidate endorsed by Mamdani in a state election would struggle to win Shumer’s seat. Personally. I understand others may disagree, but we tried Shumer’s strategy and it led us to Trump.

New York just elected the most progressive mayor in history. What the fuck do you mean?

Love the Dire Straits reference 🤘

Do you need a reason beyond that? I’m confused by this question.

I get the sentiment, but nothing says that you can’t switch careers when it starts to feel like a chore. And plenty of people never get that feeling.

This is really fucking dumb. I love it lol

I appreciate the nuanced info. It’s pretty tough to find when discussing religion on platforms like this. It helps logical people trapped by corrupted religious beliefs realize that its okay, even encouraged, to keep their core beliefs intact while still being able to condemn those within their religion that work to corrupt the church.

If all you see is church/religion bad, then they’ll just dismiss you and move on. And the corrupt version of Christianity or Islam or Judaism or what have you will continue growing

I grew up in the area. I’m familiar with Festus. And again, most people would consider Festus part of the greater St. Louis metro. Its 30 minutes to the center of downtown St. Louis from Festus. So its 13,000 population but it’s got the infrastructure of a much larger town. Since a sizeable chunk of the town’s population lives in Festus but works in STL.

Festus is hardly some small Missouri town. Its a major section of what most consider St. Louis metro.

Nah. Cancer said prove it and her next shot rimmed out so the game is still going.

No, it is potato. That’s why it still runs at the temperature of a baked potato after I let it cool for an hour

I mean, yeah, but also they were allied with Nazi Germany and fascist Italy at the time. And pursuing their own expansionist ambitions in the Eastern hemisphere.

That reminds me. My family used to have a reentry vehicle Christmas ornament that would play audio from the Apollo missions and light up the cabin. Super cool

These markets themselves argue adamantly that they are NOT a betting market and therefore aren’t subject to gambling regulations.

When I was a freshman in highschool me and a friend had to dig through the trenches of the internet to watch an old man get beat to death with a hammer in the woods. Morbid curiosity got the better of us and as a result the 2 guys 1 hammer video fucked me up for a while, but at least we had to dig around in little known websites to watch it. Now, kids are undoubtedly getting served videos like that through the president’s own social posts.
