He may be flouting the Logan Act here.

They probably don’t know about second Afghan invasion.

“Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do,” Trump wrote.

Just gonna leave that right there.

Yes, your legs can resist 10 lbs of lateral force, but for how long? 30 seconds? 2 minutes? Also what does the water carry?

Let’s say the water carries a 3 foot wide tree branch against your ankles. Your surface area just went from 3 inches to 3 feet. 10 lbs becomes 120 lbs.

It’s not as simple as walking with heavier shoes.

6 inches of running water can absolutely sweep you off your feet

Whose that now?

Yeah, I imagine even a 1ft tidal wave would be enough to sweep a person or a small car away.

Apparently, there are a whole mess of magnitude scales. The 8.8 and 9.0 are given in “Mw” scale,which estimates total energy. It doesn’t differentiate between friction and the seismic wave energies.

You’re right. 1952 Severo-Kurilsk

Almost the same spot too. 15-18m tsunami waves, three of them.

Now a magnitude-8.8

Red alert for economic losses. Extensive damage is probable and the disaster is likely widespread. Estimated economic losses are 0-3% GDP of Russia. Past events with this alert level have required a national or international level response.

Maybe something to do with the nukes the US just moved to the UK?

But your language was very much biased against the commenter and the company that is the focus of that community.

How can you hope to expose bias without at least establishing your neutrality or citing your sources?

I really don’t get adult people defending corporate esp on Lemmy haha

Do you work there or you just spend your free time defending other man’s businesses for free?

Say that someone with a different viewpoint is either selling something or wasting their time is an attempt at bullying someone into your way of thinking. You are attacking the person instead of the argument.

No, you were bullying plain and simple. Your attitude discourages reasonable discussion and has no place on most instances. I hope you continue to get modded for this behavior.

When your only purpose is your nutsack, every dick is a leader.

Fortunately, inflation kicked up and that’s only like ¥200.

I agree in the sense that any useful tool is a weapon in the wrong hands. I would argue (partly against my own point on religion) that current avenues open to mentally unhealthy individuals rarely count as treatment.

I would also propose that a proper handling of mental health has the potential to reduce the negative effects of both religious and authoritarian tendencies.

I mean mental health here, not just for those we consider to be sick, but for all of us as a mental “immune” system to guard against propaganda and inflammatory personalities.

Instead of giving the state another avenue for oppression, what if we label religion as the disease that it is and work with mental health professionals to develop a treatment for it?

Yah, I’m just saying I could see China twisting the word “originated” in this way.

I could see the US working on a manufactured virus or something similar. China steals the research, botches it, and accidentally releases it into the wild.

I’m not saying you should believe everything the media or government says, just that the specific lies they choose to tell holds valuable information about their motives, sponsors, allies, etc…

You are asking to be spoon fed the truth. I’m saying that if you learn to refine the truth, propaganda begins to have the opposite of its intended effect.
