Oh fuck that, quit letting idiots off the hook for being idiots. There was, and still is, an absurd amount of information readily available about how shitty Trump is. If the people you’re talking about cared at all they could have found it easily, but they didn’t. That’s not anyone else’s fault but theirs.
No single issue has had a more significant impact on my perception of humanity than the popularity of Donald Trump.
Horseshoes aren’t circles. The left and right sides are disconnected except for the one path between them, which to me would imply that one must abandon one side to reach the other. In other words, that theory sounds dumb, or alternatively, only sounds smart if you don’t think about it much.
Good, get the fuck out of government you ineffectual chodes
Hey now, logic has no place here. You’re also forgetting the foundational principle of our criminal justice system. It’s not illegal if you have money and your motivation was greed.
People have always been this dumb as a whole. We’re apes who decided talking shit to each other is better than throwing shit at each other. If a few dozen of us hadn’t gotten lucky enough to figure out some amazing things over the centuries we’d all still be praying to the god of the hunt to bring back the buffalo herd next season so we don’t starve to death.
You don’t remember the United Healthcare shooter getting away? I think you’re just really overestimating how hard it is to kill someone and get away from the scene immediately afterwards. Now, not getting caught later is harder to do but it’s not like action movies where you have to fight your way past 100 guards to escape. You just run away from the location with everyone else who’s running from the gunshots.
I don’t know that I believe the whole thing was a conspiracy. It’s theoretically possible but so are a lot of really unlikely things. I just think the fact that the shooter got away doesn’t say as much as you think it does.
It’s only a matter of time until someone on the left does actually do something like this though. They will disingenuously seize on that opportunity to further their agenda as they always do. The kid who punches his bully gets suspended while the bully laughs and continues to terrorize others.
That being said, we already know that being in agreement with reality is not a requirement for Republicans to believe something. Facts don’t matter to them so don’t bother making factual appeals to them. Their goal is control and they will use any and all means at their disposal to achieve it, regardless of truth. Fight their control, not their arguments.
I mean, it’s pretty obviously political. We may not know the exact motives but the victim and timing make it clear that politics is involved in one way or another.
The 2A was quite literally written to be a failsafe against a federal government like we have now. Of course it comes with additional societal drawbacks that we’ve essentially focused exclusively on for decades, for mostly good reasons. However, you can be assured that they’ll think twice about oppressing minority groups if those people are armed and demonstrate a willingness to defend themselves. It’s not a magic bullet (lol) but at the end of the day I’d rather go out fighting the fascists than hoping to hide from them while they escalate their violence against my fellow citizens.
I don’t think he had time to ask for forgiveness for that last sin at least
Gun violence, funnily enough. He had just finished the quintessential conservative “black and trans people cause most mass shootings” argument.
At this point what are we waiting for? We know Trump is in those files. We know he rapes women of all ages. We know the entire Republican party has decided to try and cover that up while preaching about family values and other things incompatible with protecting pedophiles.
It seems like we’re waiting for permission to do something but they’re clearly never going to admit wrong doing and we already have all the knowledge needed to make a decision anyway so I can’t figure out why we’re all expecting this to happen or what we think will change if it does. We should just do today whatever we think we would do the day after they admit Trump is a pedophile because that’s clearly never going to happen.
Is furry a sexual orientation or a kink?
No, the political part is you forcing your sexuality to be discussed in a non-sexual context. I don’t care what you do in your bedroom but I don’t want to be forced to talk to you about it. It’s not relevant to our work therefore we don’t need to discuss it at work. Unless you’re trying to fuck me I don’t need to hear about it at all and that’s probably not something you should be doing at work either, certainly not in this context.
Nothing I have said is exclusive to queer people. They are universal rules that everyone should follow.
First of all, if you don’t think it’s weird to start off an introduction with “I’m queer and I’m a furry” then I’m not sure what to tell you. The vast majority of people in the world are going to be put off by you introducing yourself that way. That’s personal shit you talk about once you get to know somebody not an ice breaker. You can make the argument that people should be more accepting of that kind of thing but the fact is this sort of introduction breaks just about every social norm there is and when you do that willingly you should expect people to get uncomfortable.
Second of all, quit forcing your kinks on everyone else. I don’t care what weird kinky shit you do in your free time but I don’t want to talk to you about it, especially not at work. It doesn’t matter if your thing is women’s feet, dudes buttholes, or guys dressed as a cartoon wolf, the answer is the same, ew stop. It isn’t bigotry to not want to be forced to deal with your sexuality as a prerequisite for interacting with you. I probably don’t want to be interacting with you at all, much less talking about what you like to do with your genitals, so stop oversharing and keep that shit to yourself.
And some people can’t pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see that their problems aren’t the same as everyone else’s problems. You’re right though, it’s naive to expect others not to view themselves and their pet issues as the only thing worth discussing in the world. Your response being a great case study in how you can do exactly that while also implying that no one else even has problems to begin with.
When can we stop inserting politics into every little thing? I know it’s a big deal at the moment, what with the fascist takeover of our government, but are Linux devs and their moderators really the people we expect to represent all of us in that fight? They don’t have the power to help in that capacity.
We should be able to accept people’s help in whatever realm they are offering it without trying to force them to help with everything else at the same time. These guys signed up to support open source software. That’s an important and helpful thing but it isn’t gay rights activism. That is not their area of expertise. They’re not supposed to be representing LGBTQ interests in anything except the right to privacy. Quit making them the arbiter of morality in battles they didn’t sign up to fight to begin with. It doesn’t help anybody. It only redirects anger away from the people that we really should be mad at, namely our absolute disaster of a federal government.
To be fair that’s pretty much always been the case throughout history, we’re just seeing one far edge case where perceived vs actual reality differ more than they usually do for the guy in charge.
Yeah if reading something is too high of a bar for the average person to clear then I will happily admit that my expectations of humanity are too high.
