I actually didn't realize this, thought they were British. I guess they have dual citizenship. Ok, still don't like it, but that changes my opinion somewhat.
Bottom G's dad was involved with US Military Intelligence. It's actually not terribly unusual to have US pop culture figures with parents who are involved with the US intelligence community. Just look up Laurel Canyon and the music acts surrounding it.

You realize Tate has been abusing every procedural loophole to keep the trial from happening and got caught by wiretaps in his jail cell discussing bribing officials and ccordinating with various influencers on his payroll on how to intimidate and smear witnesses and victims?
Seriously, go read the Jane Doe countersuit or the various leaks from the Romanian court: They are filled to the brim with Tate self-incriminating about trafficking women, coercing them about doing cam porn and OF, lusting after underage b& and tons of other shit. Thanks to this we also know he signed up one of his girlfriends as a camwhore with MFC while she was underage.

THe man and his brother are career criminals and exactly the kind of scum that should rot in a foreign prison.
Look, I don't disagree that the Tates deserve to rot in a Romanian prison where Andrew can finally enjoy being the power bottom he clearly wants to be, but Romania has been fucking around with this. For something that's a slam dunk, they can't seem to bring it home. Either way, the American government should have the backs of American citizens, even if I don't particularly like the citizens in question. I'm sure that Romania and the US legal systems can work together to deal with whatever real crimes the Tates have committed, if Romania can get it's head out of its ass about it.

Or he'll finally piss off Eastern European organized crime enough that he'll have an "accident" and the point will be moot.
 
so. i know everyone's really interested in this asteroid shit, but you guys know this asteroid is years away from earth, right? this thing won't even hit in trump's term. it wouldn't even potentially impact until the END of 2032.

please stop sperging about an asteroid nearly 8 years away from earth like it's about to impact tomorrow.
anything higher we need a contingency plan atleast in place, AN OPTION, if not for us for the future generations who might need it

you know the best time to plant a tree? 30 years ago, you know the second best time? right now.

Society grows great when men plant trees they might never sit under the shade of.

newest from r/fednews is that "Restraining order on Doge's mass firing will be decided today at 3pm EST". court is currently in recess, so judgement is yet to come

while we wait, have some fresh sneeding from reddit

I just need to put this somewhere so that it’s out of my body and lives somewhere outside of my panicked mind.

I am so afraid. Full body chills, sobbing crying afraid. I feel like Im on a rollercoaster that won’t stop as an American woman. A Black woman especially. Mass firings of Black people in government. The destabilizing of our nation’s public health. As an epidemiologist that is killing me too. But now, to have a bill introduced (for the second time) that is intentionally vaguely worded and would erase married women’s right to vote is insanity. And no one is reacting. Men don’t care. And everyone is hoping it just blows over. Or maybe they want this. “Let the men handle it.” I don’t know.

And having looked at the proposed budget and tax policy changes (200 points at that) that is gonna be voted on soon—coupled with these tariffs—it seems that the plan is to make life for single people so expensive that it forces people to pair off to survive.

And it would be easy for our companies to shut off our bank account access. If by executive decree (which no one is fighting despite most of them being nonsense or highly illegal) or martial law (which Trump keeps threatening).

And for Peter Thiel to have said this country only started going down when women got the right to vote and now to see the SAVE Act here and looming, I am not handling the stress well. Truly.

I keep thinking of the logistics of that.

Would that not lead to an immediate economic crash? Would they care? What is the end game of that? I mean, what happens to women if we need men to sign bank accounts for us (ex. My mother needed that when she was my age.) As a single woman with no family, I worry. Every moment of the day. I cant find any peace. My therapist is trying to help but he feels (even as a Buddhist anarchist) that rule of law will either hold or everything will come crumbling down and something new and better will be built.

But what happens to women. In that delusion, in all these hypothetical discussions, in all the lawsuits, the infighting, the talking heads on TV, what happens to women and girls? Black women? Women of color? All of us?

Any perspective to stop the spiral helps lol. Thanks.
 
"My house isent even on fire yet, why should we even fund the fire department?"

you are really getting annoying with this shit. where did i say we shouldn't let our scientific bodies work on this, ensure that they keep watching it, and take care of it where appropriate?

trump says he is much more confident in a deal with russia and ukraine now than he was prior to his meeting with putin, and also mentioned europe's already dropped car tariffs to 2.5%, clearly knowing that those tariffs mean nothing because he didn't even budge when they did that, lol.

trump on some journo asking him if Putin asked would the us remove all american troops from europe: "no one's asked me that... it's not something i want."
 
Ill keep it a buck fifty boys, that scares the shit out of me

you know how many under 1% mount drops ive seen drop in various MMOS?

if I saw a mount with a 3% drop rate Id think "shit, they are making it almost to easy"

Dont think those kinda numbers are worth shrugging at when the margin of error is our very planet

It’s more like a 3% spawn rate for the mob at all and then a much much much smaller percentage that it drops anything at all, and an even smaller percentage it drops anything worthwhile.
 
Lol, they didn't even bother with the 'sources familiar with the matter say' bullshit. Just 'reports' that appeared out of thin air, or more likely, the journoscum's rectum.
"who's a negative figure who would stand to gain something from being nice to trump that we can use to star him with? oh, i know, retarded hopefully former-sex trafficker andrew tate." and thus, a smear campaign was born.

Here is the projected impact path.

View attachment 6997394

Apparently according to NASA and their metrics, the asteroid would release energy equivalent to 7.8 megatonnes of TNT (32.6 PJ) if it were to impact Earth at its predicted velocity at atmosphere entry of 17.32 km/s (10.76 mi/s), equivalent to about 367 of the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki, 2 and a half of Grapple Y, 51% of Castle Bravo, or 15.4% of Tsar Bomba.

You say this like it's a bad thing we just gotta aim the shrapnel at India
buddy, im not sure how much school we all did here but do you think the "shrapnel" is going to fall out of the sky or something? They would stay in orbit moving so fast and so densely they would make all our attempts to leave the atmosphere near impossible beacuse orbiting the earth is 18 billion tiny rocks moving at 18,000 meters a second that would shred any spacecraft in its path not to mention satellite

Maybe we need to do a quick crash course for the whole thread about a topic called Kinetic Bombardment, and why something does not need a "payload" when moving at sufficient speed

a 6 meter tungsten rod dropped from low orbit will reach target in under 15 mins from ANYWHERE ON EARTH, it will then be impossible by any means we yet have to target or shoot down such a fast moving projectile as it will exceed mach 10 on reentry and detonate with the explosive force on impact of about a 1/6th of the explosive force of a conventional standard nuclear bomb without the fallout.

we are talking something with orders of greater mass impacting at far greater speeds, WE NEED AN OPTION, even if this one misses there will be others

We need to fund nasa to develop satellites capable of "bonking" these guys off our path many many many miles away from us, in my opinion OBVIOUSLY

Grenell even said it didn't happen the other day but not like that matters the articles will still get written. People fall for shit so easily still after over a decade of fake news.
 
I love the faces people make when you tell them you don't like getting shit faced around strangers, or even enjoy partying in general
You can see their face turn inside-out in real time, especially if you live in an area where all people ever do is drink and party almost every night. They have no idea whether or not to be offended because for some reason they feel personally insulted when you tell them that you don't drink. Then they go all in on the defensive and try to come up with other things they do that doesn't relate to drinking so they can be "relatable" or at least somewhere in the realm of "normal". Otherwise they would have to come to the harsh realization that there is something deeply wrong with them.
