Sean Duffy went from Fox Business co-host to running the transportation system for the entire country. What experience does he actually have in transportation? How competent do you think he is for this job?

Political Question Why is MAGA conservativism called populism when the measures and platforms they take are not.......well........popular?

• Upvotes

Going to war with Iran wasn't popular. Sucking off Vladimir Putin is not popular. Declaring things Lake and Gulf of America is not popular. Building a ballroom and an arch de Trump is not popular. Tariffs are not popular. Fuck.......Donald Trump is not popular. Why the hell do we call.......whatever the hell this is......."populism"?

By all barometers and metrics, the only thing that was semi-popular, and enough to get elected, was building a wall and deporting immigrants. Those two things alone shouldnt constitute "populism", right?

Political Question Why the actual fuck are Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff still the ones "representing" the United States negotiating the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

2.8k Upvotes

Even after the election. These two "men" represent truly the stupidest and most worthless elements of the United States. There are literally 2 million individuals in the United States with higher qualifications than either of these two at the highest levels of diplomacy. If you carry an international relations masters degree, by default.........you are more qualified than Jared Kushner or Steve Witkoff. If you carry a political science degree.........you are literally more qualified than Jared Kushner or Steve Witkoff. If you carry a degree in Russian/Eurasian studies.........you are literally more qualified tothan Jared Kushner or Steve Witkoff....... If you represented your high school in fucking debate clubs........you are literally more qualified than Jared Kushner or Steve Witkoff. Why are these absolute ignoramuses being allowed to do anything? Its like asking your plumber to perform surgery on you.

General Question Remember when Burger King gave McDonald's a run for its money? What happened to the flame-grilled burgers and the quality we grew up with?

Post image
86 Upvotes

I remember when Burger King was a real competitor to McDonald’s. The flame-grilled Whoppers, the original chicken sandwich, the onion rings, and getting a paper crown as a kid.

There was something about that flame-grilled taste that made BK different. The burgers seemed bigger, the food tasted fresher, and you actually looked forward to going.

Now it feels like the quality is hit or miss, the prices keep climbing, and the whole experience just isn’t what it used to be.

General Question Can someone help me understand why there is such negative feelings towards "swear words" or "bad words"?

7 Upvotes

Just want to preface this with I am not insulting anyone's thoughts towards this subject just honestly looking for people to shed some understanding for me.

I never understood how people viewed it worse than other words that have the same definitions. Like for example why is fuck worse then intercourse, sex, or coitus? And why are things like ass and dick seen as so bad too when they're part of the human anatomy?

Like it's so bad for some people that my grandparents would literally threaten to wash my mouth out with soap and would follow through with it if I kept going, how are these words so bad that it's worth possibly negativity affecting relationships with your grandchildren over?

Is it just based on what their parents told them? Or is it perhaps due to their religious ideologies and beliefs? Or do they actually hate the words themselves for some reason? Is it that the words seem more vulgar than the other words? I genuinely have never ever understood how these simple words can cause such potentially insane reactions in my personal opinion in others.

Also it's especially shocking to me because the vast majority of my culture and where I live swear every second word so when I get thrown from that to people who will actually wash your mouth out with soap it's extremely confusing.

Duffy keeps saying Congress wastes a lot of money and is passing blame. Last I checked, the pubs have controlled Congress for two years. This issue didn’t just get exposed, that just doesn’t happen.

Stop funding arches, ballrooms, and whatever else to put this slimeballs name on.

There is nobody to blame but you! God these people are grotesque.

General Question Why do some people seem to think others deserve to suffer even though they haven't done anything they would normally consider wrong? Spoiler

• Upvotes

Why do some people seem to think others deserve to suffer even though they haven't done anything they would normally consider wrong?

Hello. I am not sure what kind of question this is, my apologies.

Warning: Mentions of people suffering.

I just learned about what happened to King Louis XVII of France today and I have been looking into it and I see some people who seem to argue with others who say the boy didn't deserve to die like that. I am probably misunderstanding but from what it seemed, some people seem to try to say he deserved it or they try to justify it. I saw some people saying he did not deserve it, which I would personally agree with, but they may be biased toward that side already and I wanted to ask for opinions that are preferably unbiased on something that happened centuries ago. I cannot give a good description as I do not know much, but apparently he was tortured for a third of his life and left to die around the age of 10. He was the son of the French King that lived in luxury while his people suffered, and got taken down by the French Revolution. What do you think?

This same thing seems to happen with other situations too, like someone lacks all compassion for the innocent people of the side they disagree with, or cannot relate to, or cannot understand, ignoring the fact that they are innocent (or, are only guilty of being disagreed with or misunderstood or of something they cannot control). I notice people currently seem to think like this about things that have happened in the past and things that are currently happening. It seems to be a way of thinking that many people have had throughout time. This reminds me of the way of thinking I had to unlearn in therapy (like, rigid thinking or black and white thinking, maybe?) when I was younger.

I accidentally came across multiple posts on Reddit in a row that seemed to have a lot of people trying to justify wrongdoings and not seeming to understand what it is that what they are saying actually entails (they also seem to think that if others do it, it is wrong, but if they do it, it is fine, or that people should be punished for things they cannot control, or stuff like that - I am not sure how to explain what I was reading, but it seemed confusing). I have not read anything like this in detail in years (not since I was a kid myself) and the amount of people who seemed to try to justify suffering in just those few posts I rarely get emotional but for some reason I cried. I do not understand why people seem to think this way. I know a lot of things come down to opinion and objective stuff (I guess like, what is right and wrong, what does it mean for something to be bad, it depends, stuff like that). What is the cause of this way of thinking? Does it make sense? Can this be explained logically? I do not really understand what I am asking. I am quite naive and this entire post probably comes across as idiotic and mean, and I apologize if that is the case or if this causes any negative feelings.
