  • I assume the big boys lost more money from the tariff insanity than they made from getting their next tax cut. Losing money is the only thing they do not tolerate because it hurts them in their inhouse pissing contest on who can be the biggest societal parasite.

  • Die Anzahl der Menschen mit denen ich mich unterhalten hab, die wirklich denken die AfD sei keine Faschistenpartei, ist erschreckend. Was muss man eigentlich noch machen neben Naziparolen in Reden zitieren, mit bekannten Nazis gut Freund sein und sich rassistisch zu äußern, damit die Leute verstehen, dass man ein Nazi ist? Muss echt frustrierend sein für die AfD.

  • In case you are wondering, the reason why the ATC made the planes perform a go-around is likely not to avoid mid-air collision, but because it is very dangerous to attempt a landing after a helicopter left or landed due to wake turbulence. Essentially, the rotor rotation of the helicopter creates an invisible disturbance in the air that lingers for quite a while and can cause the trailing plane to bank uncontrollably. IIRC the FAA standard calls for 2 minutes to pass to allow the wake turbulence to dissipate.

    Here is a video that demonstrates what can happen:

  • Got banned from r/politics. In some post about Musk's sales tanking, I posted that he knew what's gonna happen but supported Trump anyway so he can live out his hatred towards those he considers inferior. I finished with "May he suffer and wince" and apparently that is "threatening violence against an individual" lmao

  • They fear a decrease of revenue in the US market and thus raise prices across the board for everyone else. Number must go up, that's capitalism for you: a giant game of real-life cookie clicker. It has nothing to do with appeasing US customers, those companies don't care about their customers.

  • Yeah, that stems from the original sense of the word. The story goes a bit like this:

    In Genesis 19, Sodom is visited by 2 angels and they were pressured by the men of Sodom to have sex with them. This lead to the interpretation of homosexual activities being an original sin, but there are accounts in the bible that it was not meant that way. Mainly Ezekiel 16:49 which reads

    Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

    So, the sexual advances were likely meant to serve as an example of decadence rather than a stipulation that homosexual activities are sins. But it was simply easier to hate on a marginalized group rather than undergoing the onerous task of actually becoming a better human being.
