PowerCrazy,

Fuck off you sexist rape enabler.

PowerCrazy,

I didn’t say “fuck you”. I said fuck off. But apparently a rape enabler like yourself can only experience life through transactional sex acts that you have a ranking system for.

So I’ll just state plainly, you are wrong about everything you think about sexuality, sex crimes, and feminism.

Congress approves bill barring any president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO (thehill.com)

Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress. The measure, spearheaded by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), was included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which passed out of...

PowerCrazy,

I’m actually extremely worried about this constitutional overreach. Under many sane readings of the constitution, this isn’t a power congress has. The president has a few unilateral powers in order to check the mob rules (or rather the external capture of congress.)

Ideally a president should be able to unilaterally dissolve all alliances and other undue foreign influence on our legislature. Otherwise there is no way to recover form this sham of democracy.

PowerCrazy,

e to an ally’s aid if attacked,” why would anyone fear NATO, regardless of what obligations still exist on paper? … When I asked several people with deep links to NATO to imagine what would happen

So should the president be commander-in-chief or not? Normally liberals aren’t quite so mask-off and in favor of a military junta, but please, tell me how you square this circle.

PowerCrazy,

Not at all if you are viewing American democracy through the view of parties you don’t actually support democracy at all. And I view this as extremely troubling and undermining the separation of powers.

PowerCrazy,

What? The idea of the president being in charge of foreign policy isn’t abnormal unless you think that history started when you were born.

PowerCrazy,

If you are viewing actions of the legislature strictly through a partisan lens, you dont’ have enough background to approach the original concern at all.

The original idea of the US government is three branches of government. If one branch of government “bipartisananly” wants to limit another branch of government, that should be cause for alarm and ideally the congressmen involved should be censured and possibly impeached. If you want to change the powers of the president, then it’s time to rewrite the constitution, not do whatever the fuck this is.

PowerCrazy,

It’s been established that the president is in charge of foreign treaties. So it is congress that is overstepping here.

PowerCrazy,

Look if you are restructuring your entire government because orange-man bad, perhaps it’s time to question the initial foundation of that government.

PowerCrazy,

There is a lot to unpack here, and I promise I will not be able to address all of your questions. But I will try.

First the overall problem I have with American democracy is that it is controlled by a single class of people who will donate equally to the two parties to ensure that they will get what they want regardless of who gets elected. These types of donors aren’t concerned with individual rights like abortion, protesting, police brutality, racism, housing etc. They just want to make sure that funding for foreign wars and arms deals aren’t interrupted. So the wars in Ukraine, Israel, afganistan, iraq, the various arms deals with saudi arabia, japan, morocco, the EU, municipal police etc etc are never in-question.

The second problem is the delusion that the populace has any control what-so-ever over public policy. The congress and the senate operate entirely without oversight. The incumbent advantage is overwhelming. In the last 10 years the US has re-elected at least 3 people who could not be described as functional humans to the senate. (Feinstein, McCane, McConnell), these senators shouldn’t have been fit for office AT ALL. But the fact that they are able to be re-electice is indicative of the problem. So when a captured institution like the Senate starts to encroach upon presidential powers it is cause for alarm.

The president is by design more receptive to the public then and of the rest of the federal office holders. So when a bunch of corporate mouth pieces start to get upset about a president rejecting defense pacts that amount to 100 of billions of dollars a year in defense contracts I see cause for concern, even if the wolves bipartisianally agreed to eat the sheep.

PowerCrazy,

NATO is a mutual defense treaty that is in practice enforced by US armed forces. If you accept that the President is Commander-in-chief of the armed forces, if He chooses not to respect the terms of the treaty by not deploying the armed forces, then in what way does congress get a say without grossly violating the separation of powers?

PowerCrazy,

I don’t want to argue the specifics of breaking/establishing a general treaty (though i’m sure that is an amazingly interesting analysis). But I do want to discuss at a naive level the results of a US president refusing to enforce NATO. Without being overly factual, I understand NATO to be a mutual defense treaty ratified and renegotiated from the post-ww2 era til now. It was created by the US and former Allied Forces except Russia, to contain perceived Russian/Communist aggression.

From the genesis of this treaty( 1948), the US was understood to be the “enforcer” of it. Sure other nations would support the US and generally contribute to Article5, but in-practice and dollars, the US legitimized NATO.

So if a modern US president decided to publicly announce that he would no-longer respect NATO without additional justifications, how can the Senate enforce NATO without the US President and thus the Armed Forces support?

PowerCrazy,

Damn if only Israel had been using guided munitions to ensure they hit the hospitals they are aiming for directly, instead of the parking lots of those hospitals.

PowerCrazy,

Maximum civilian deaths, obviously nuclear weapons. Maximum deaths with minimum blame, probably very close to what Israel is currently doing. Use an indeterminate mix all kinds of various technological weapons from a variety of vendors and a variety of doctrines. Ensure that no one person is to blame for any specific atrocity, always suppose that “better” weapons could have lead to a “better” outcome. Otherwise bomb indiscriminately for as long as you can get away with it.

PowerCrazy,

This isn’t the appropriate way to analyze health policy. If alcohol is bad for you, but we as a society have decided that it is ok for people to poison themselves, then when some unscrupulous capitalists makes it even worse for you, you don’t say “who cares it’s already bad for you, lol.” and then moralize about how if everyone doesn’t consume the exact same substances you do, they somehow deserve it.

It is ok for a certain level of toxicity to be permitted, but additional or different unwanted types of toxicity to be a public health concern.

PowerCrazy,

The idea to share this information is to empower someone

This also doesn’t seem desirable. Societal health isn’t achieved by a group of individual decisions. It is created by regulations on how much pesticide should be in consumer goods or how much risk various consumables should pose to an individual.

Caveat emptor isn’t a desirable public policy.

PowerCrazy,

How do I know it’s the devil OP? Couldn’t it be God or some other entity? How would I know?

PowerCrazy,

That is extraordinarily rare and I’m not even sure if it’s possible anymore. That was potential attack vector in the 90’s where you have a port on network switch, and then you flood the cam table with thousands of bogus mac addresses until you fill it up, then the switch turns into a hub, and you can now sniff all traffic traversing the switch. These days I’m not sure what will happen if you do successfully fill up a switches cam table. Also cam table sizes are are much much larger now. ~128k entry’s vs maybe 1000 back in the day.

PowerCrazy,

Why are you or your wife still using facebook? The party has been over for 10+ years, it’s time move on from college.

PowerCrazy,

Sounds like you need some parasocial engagement. Let your friends at Facebook and Reddit remind you of all the good times you’ve had on their site. You have given yourself no other option.

PowerCrazy,

If you are worried about ordering the “wrong” soup, you aren’t mature enough to be dating yet. Discover yourself, then you can show show yourself to another person. Otherwise you are just wearing a mask.

PowerCrazy,

There is a third side who understands that there are more food flavorings then “spicy,” and that often excessive spicing is used to hide shitty quality food.

PowerCrazy,

This is the actual answer. Immigration is fine, but you have a sick society if it doesn’t feel like it can risk having children. Immigrant aren’t magic and after one generation they will succumb to the same problems of that sick society.

PowerCrazy,

This is incorrect, and you don’t understand why base 12 is useful. However for binary operations, hex is great. But not for general counting.

PowerCrazy,

Fortunately as a militant leftist I don’t give a fuck about about imaginary numbers like the GDP. I care about the material conditions and quality of life of the average citizen as well as how much infrastructure the country builds for it’s citizens. In which case, well America is still pretty shit.

PowerCrazy,

But I guess you aren’t worried about the irreparable harm that ocean acidification is already causing?

PowerCrazy,

“I have something that will Solve Y.”
“Yes but have you considered theoretical scenario X that isn’t really related to your solution to Y?”

PowerCrazy,

Blinken did not announce individual visa bans, but officials said those would be coming this week and could affect dozens of settlers and their families.

Dozens. Dozens

Put it exactly what your company matches, nothing more. That is Everything you need to know about a 401k. Your retirement plans should include much more then a 401k.

PowerCrazy,

As soon as you start calling yourself a “creative” you’ve lost the point.

PowerCrazy,

If you produce content, you 100% control where that content goes.

PowerCrazy,

“Creatives” are idiots then.

PowerCrazy,

My Alderman rides his bike down to city hall pretty regularly, I think him and a few of the other aldermen meet up occasionally to all bike to work. It’s pretty great. The city is still way to car-centric though.

PowerCrazy,

Oh no! I’m sure that the MIC bought and paid for congress will just throw their hands up and choose not to transfer more public funds to private interests.

PowerCrazy,

I have liked all the GTA’s except 4. I’m sure I’ll get this one too. I hope that the single player campaign brings back some of the niceties from San Andreas. I want to have a garage of cars, rare ones that I’ve found and customized, and I want to be able to wreck them and be able to get them back from garage (without having to buy them again). Same with planes/boats/etc.

I.E when I play through the game I should be able to permanently unlock things, not have to repurchase them with basically micro-transactions, even if the money is easy to get.

PowerCrazy,

Oh great, another public-private partnership puff piece. What NPR is trying to do here is convey government as “inefficient” and pave the way for more public support to take away the meager amounts of funding that Fusion get’s and give them to contractors that will then give that money to share holders, essentially stealing it from the public.

To put it another way, imagine that this “company” that claims they are close to a fusion breakthrough were lead by Elon Musk, would you believe him?

PowerCrazy,

Amazing, through the clear eyes and smooth brain of a liberal, we now know that everything that paints Ukraine in a negative light is Russia Propaganda. You must have all the answers. You should run for president.

PowerCrazy,

Cars have been normalized. Fortunately e-scooters haven’t. So fighting against e-scooters as run and deployed by private companies is a good fight.

PowerCrazy,

This just in, environmentalists discover human-activity is the cause of human greenhouse gas emissions. Only solution they can come up with? Ban humans.

PowerCrazy,

100%, more world leader should be tried for war crimes. The surviving members of the last 5 US administrations for sure. Erdogan himself, of course, Merkel and Macron. Probably a few thousand others.

PowerCrazy,

Broken link, just get a permission denied.

e: although the site itself may be down.

PowerCrazy,

Actual country folk are less then 15% of the US. You are probably talking about Suburbs or Exurb dwellers, and those shouldn’t exit.

PowerCrazy,

You are underthinking it.

PowerCrazy,

That’s American pride, don’t use “the south” as a scape goat.

PowerCrazy,

No it’s more like proudly declaring that your own butt doesn’t stink.

PowerCrazy,

That’s a liberal with no framework. No one denies genocides (pro-tip just because the western media says it’s a genocide doesn’t make it a genocide.) Being so anti-racist you are the real racist is the Liberal Democratic party who elected a hard-core segregationist as president, not a Marxist Leninist. No one except people like you give a fuck about personal attacks. lol.

PowerCrazy,

That isn’t what they are talking about, hopefully. But if it is, I agree, a hearty “lol” is in order.

PowerCrazy,
