Just cause someone has a shitty door doesn’t mean its cool to just walk in their home and mess with stuff/them

Yes, that is why I said you have to question everything.

Not everything, but enough that you have to question everything. Which is what makes the process so exhaustive and thus the end goal of those that use those tactics.

Its like holding a cup of coffee in your hands but your hands are more likely to smell like balls after

Mark of the Beast if you want to go for a biblical angle

Showing up and giving an opinion and then following up on that opinion when people respond to it.

Hence, ‘an opinion and a follow up’.

And yet they worth an opinion and a follow up

Fair enough. It is hyperbolic, but I’m not sure by how much.

I will give honorable mention to the pathological greed. If greed wasn’t so celebrated, I’m sure there’d we’d have a proper diagnosis for their insatiability.

Idk. If the manager at a local mcdonalds gave an interview calling people stupid as shit and then rambling nonsense, people might suppose the same. The only time I’ve had someone do that to me they were clearly unhoused with some kind of mental health condition.

This guy is the head of an international corporation, named after an evil entity, owned by a famous Billionaire who is frequently in the news about cartoon villainy. He should ostensibly have some media training that details why this little crashout is sad, pathetic, and embarassing.

“They’re doing it anyways” is kind of the whole point. Why let them do it without even saying something?

Yes, let’s not report on evil people making propaganda. That way they can do their shit uninterrupted and with zero scrutiny.

Ignorance is usually the cause of this shit, not the solution.

Or maybe its just an odd time to bring it up?

Like this is a story about a woman who had a hellish childhood, committed a murder, and has now been on death row for 30+ years, and the state has botched her execution despite warnings and requests of other methods. And most of these comments are not particularly sympathetic. Acknowledging her broken childhood, is not the same as forgiving or forgetting.

And then you come in with a total non-sequitur about double standards for men. Someone said quit changing the subject and you get a whole mini-rant about how they need to defend their position (not even really a position, again they said to not change the subject).

And just to engage with this, there absolutely is a double standard but its not gender like you’re stuck on. You can find people sympathizing with men all over. Anytime an accusation is levied at a man, you will see oodles of people decry it, rationalize it, and attack the accuser (man or woman). You will find people attacking women and men, you will find people defending women and men, you will find people refusing evidence, defending lies, sympathizing with, accusing of, and every response under the sun in favor of or against both men and women. This is a people thing, men and women can be both righteous and/or evil, they can be right and/or wrong.

In short, focus on the Person. Someone’s genitals should have zero bearing on how you take in any of the information in the OP’s post. Even sillier is to bring up the genitals of other parties. Do yourself a favor, and avoid culture war bullshit like that. Its fine to call out double standards when you’re seeing it, but to bring it up out of nowhere is proving you’re the one with double standards. You wouldn’t show up in some dude’s execution thread asking about why women get mistreated.

If you do care about injustices, keep your eyes on the ball. Don’t get sidetracked by someone’s genitals, or what other people thing about them for having said genitals.

I was told to do the ‘1 car length per 10mph’ rule of thumb when learning and I still try to whenever I can. Its not perfect, but its always in the back of my mind so I am usually aware of I’m getting too up on anyone.

Not sure why OP is balking at the warning on vehicles. Legality aside, sometimes its good to have a heads up. People need to chill the hell out on highways in general.

I don’t see why UBI has to remove the rest of social services. Feels like that would fit in the “More social welfare” bin.

I don’t need Bernie to fully understand AI before he continues advocating for the people. He also has enough of a track record to trust that he does not blindly believe the AI rhetoric, which is primarily pushed by the same Corpo types he usually rails against. I’d wager he’s also for adding guard rails and protections.

Its good to keep pushing for good things, despite whatever noise is going on. Perfect being the enemy of good has sidetracked many an effort. Like conservatives have had no problem taking their little victories over the years chipping away at rights before going full out fascist. We need little victories do push back too.

Buttcrack album cover guy. Classic!

After a few seasons yeah

Some of the extra nuance is that she routinely would dip her toes in the ‘far right’ hate cess pool. Disney, being Disney, asked her to dial it back. After enough incidents they cut bait. She was a bit character on a show that had some heat and refused to just not cry about courting Nazis.

Like you gotta know that Star Wars on Disney is going to be focused on kids. And if you’re running around pushing conspiracy theories about Jews, you can’t be too shocked when they shut it down.

I was aware of him as a right wing troll debater through the internet but never ran into his content, or a fan, out in the wild. But a week after he died a billboard by my office had like an obituary ‘never forget’ type thing for him. Nauseating.

Just some extra red sauce, all good

Vance is whatever he’s told to be. He holds no convictions beyond what his handlers approve.
