Reddit kept on suggesting this curséd sub to me in their app and it is full of the most insufferable fucking doomers I’ve ever seen

“The right wing ratchet” is a myth perpetuated by doomer leftists and apparently an ideal to aspire to for terminally online center left pundits

It is why Californian agribusiness may fear extended droughts but our cities are safe for the future.

It is 100% a real dynamic, but it is also terminal brainworms to say we should elect Democrats to do good stuff, Republicans do bad stuff, and therefore Democrats should not do anything to be elected. It’s playing to not lose, not believing in anything real.

The best example from this presidency would be ending the Afghanistan war, from which his popularity has never recovered

Not really enough time left to pull that stunt, given that Biden has already proved extremely willing to use the SPR to counter it. Would also strain OPEC ties, like it did last time (when it failed)

outside of muzzle energy 300% higher, not dramatically different i’m sure when clamped down the accuracy isn’t much different but, well

feels like we’ve gone from Minute of Accuracy to Hour or perhaps Day of Accuracy here

i appreciate hickok45's videos every now and then and having now watched this, i'm struck by the line, "the only thing is the control, you shouldn't be anything you can't control and put rounds where you want them to"

With extremely limited exceptions, lock washers are absolutely worthless at best and actively bad for preventing bolts loosening most of the time.
okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

meh, it was already scheduled, why not proceed with it. not like the primary results have changed at all

firing 7.62x39 without a buttstock is, uh, sure a choice

Fascinating, I suppose this is in the same genre of weapon as an Uzi: for when you have no interest in anything besides covering fire.

i don't want to get on too high of a horse but i feel it is not really that hard to not do this even if you still have their numbers

I mean, it does and it doesn't. The head of that branch was completely undermined by his direct inferior on January 6th, 2021, because of a lack of legitimacy, and rightfully so. The letter of the law would have involved a long drawn out process, and instead there was a soft coup.

Given the current direction of the disparity between congressional and presidential polls, I feel pretty confident than in any situation where Biden pulls off a win, he gets at least the House, if not the Senate too

Elaborate? I'm not making the case that social constructs are bad, weak, or not real, just that they are socially constructed. There have been no shortages of people undermining the written authority of the law because formally changing it would be more cumbersome than just agreeing to ignore it.

to be completely fair, that is the only power literally any governmental or societal structure has

This meme was borne of pollsters systematically undersampling Trump voters in 2016 and 2020. It's a stupid meme, since Trump voters are generally lower trust. It's not about being afraid of showing support, it's about not wanting to pick up the phone for unknown numbers, period.

Californian here, can confirm that this is a terrible way to allow amendments to your constitution

given that it's Gavin Newsom, I have fully confidence that dog is a Pomsky, since that is *exactly* the sort of designer breed bullshit his Marin-ass family would own

ahem, for being *two* rappers' girlfriend

Also, putting the Supreme Court into a position where they need to rule, "actually the constitution means you can't restrict our power to make unpopular decisions" is a very good position for Biden! That's a political win, and a huge boon for court reform!
