- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 5 days ago:
The problem I’m talking about is when they speed through red lights because they think they have these “special powers” when they law is EXCRUCIATINGLY explicit on exactly when and why cops can sometimes disregard certain legal requirements. That does not mean they can do what they want when they want. That’s exactly the kind of people OP is talking about, and that’s cops. To a fuckin T. Nobody else goes to court, cries ignorance as an excuse, and expects to get away with it.
My real problem is that it works for them. Qualified immunity is a disgrace to law, as is the absolute immunity enjoyed by judges and magistrates. You want to fix law, fix that first.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 5 days ago:
They REALLY don’t. They have very situational allowances that have become defacto “special powers” thanks to a combination of decades of copaganda and huckster “warrior programs” that teach wannabe bullies that they are the most important of gods special snowflakes whose only responsibility is saving their own ass.
Check out the guy that got stabbed in the face repeatedly on an NY subway while cops watched from 10 feet away, behind a safety door meant to protect the train conductor. Took them to court because their motto was literally “protect and serve” and got a real live judge to say out loud that it wasn’t literal and cops have to duty to actually protect or serve anyone, legally.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 5 days ago:
It’s funny because the EXACT SAME ARGUMENTS work for cops.
Speeding? You mean traveling in a conveyance.
Assault and battery? You mean protecting and serving.
Deprivation of rights, kidnapping, and false imprisonment? You see, your honor, I didn’t know about any of that stuff so it shouldn’t apply to me.
In conclusion, the only “sovereign citizens” in this country are the bitches in blue.

- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 1 week ago:
Fuckwit was an actual engineer, but go ahead and tell me again how all the bad engineers are actually “fake” wannabes and all the “real” actual engineers are perfect little angels that never did anything wrong.
- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 1 week ago:
An engineer made the titan sub. Worked out pretty well for him. Right up until it didn’t.
- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 1 week ago:
And you’re forgetting that the chumps making these engineering definitions are chump engineers who think they’re making parts in a theoretical plane of existence where only their numbers matter.
In reality, everything should be made out of copper nickel superalloys because man that shit is cool af. Frfr if you ever get a chance to mess with aluminum copper nickel you should do it because that shit is borderline mystical.
- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 1 week ago:
I’m real tired of “strongest material” being thrown around. As a welder turned machinist, “strong” doesn’t mean much of anything to me. Aluminum is plenty “strong” but it’s softer than some woods. Tungsten carbide is harder than a coffin nail but you can chip it by looking at it funny sometimes. Kevlar is plenty tough, but it isn’t hard or particularly flexible. There isn’t any super material that will ever do all the things “the best” and throwing around meaningless titles for clickbait feels childish at best and exploitative at worst.
- Comment on I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life. 1 week ago:
Not a firefighter, but a welder. I’ve smelled burned me on more than one occasion, and it wasn’t really “horrific” as much as “oh, so that’s what that smells like.” Could be that smelling my own burnt flesh rather than someone else’s made a difference, and that the vast majority of mine were just surface burns, but still. Just smells like burned pork.

Stop shaving.
Haven’t shaved my face in 10 years. Haven’t had a haircut in 11 years. This is the way.
- Comment on Die Bart! Die! 3 weeks ago:
Because it sucks as a government owned entity and deserves to die for its trespasses against the citizenry at large.
Honestly the 3-5min behind schedule average did it. Germans can’t stand it when they’re late. Ruins their whole little day.
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 5 weeks ago:
Idk what state your in but landlords withholding deposits usually results in triple damages (eg. You get three times your deposit in damages if the court finds in your favor).
- Comment on Hotel prices 5 weeks ago:
I feel like someone my age wrote this because hotels are not around $100 anymore. Last concert i went to that was sufficiently far away to justify getting a room for the night, said room was over $200, tiny, and literally the cheapest in the building.
- Comment on From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs? 5 weeks ago:
Why would I need to go to a clothing store if I already had clothes?
- Comment on From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs? 5 weeks ago:
Buy used. You can’t put tariffs on used goods.

- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 1 month ago:
The bigger problem is that genuine law enforcement efforts are discouraged from actually catching pedophiles because they often end up being constituents of those same cops, either politically or socially. It’s either a priest, a super PAC donor, or another cop on the other end of that investigation.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 1 month ago:
First, you’re just wrong. You know there are 2 amp wireless chargers, right?
And you’re missing a group that gains MASSIVE benefits from wireless charging, which is the disabled. Imagine your hands never stop shaking and you either have to try to fiddle a USB C into an Itty bitty slot, or just plonk the phone down on a puck. Which one would appeal to you?

Why bother with gas if resources aren’t an issue? Something savagely luxurious about cooking over wood. Primal but decadent.

- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 2 months ago:
The stock market holds value because people believe it holds value. There is nothing actually backing any of that up. We dumb monkies just like watching number go up and will ensure number goes up at all costs. It’s how capitalism works.

- Comment on Best way to turn off people and get lower tips 2 months ago:
Saw something like this at a coffee truck once, but the lady in the truck was kind enough to be gorgeous and wearing lingerie. I assume the tip at that place is some kind of incentive for a dance? Idk. But 100% tip on a $7 drink is halfway reasonable when you might see some tiddy for it.
