You are tedious. Purity policing like this is how you blow up coalitions. You know exactly how that person meant what they wrote given the context and you chose to start a dogpile anyway, and when they tried to explain you doubled and tripled down on the least charitable read possible.

I got it to tell me by asking it to list presidents with felony convictions (it only came up with one)

That’s not what the original commenter was saying and I’m not sure how you got there.

Well it’s not trans people I can tell you that much.

Our obsession with sports has always kind of flummoxed me. Don’t get me wrong, I love sports. Baseball, hockey, and basketball are in my Midwestern blood. But freaking out over the competitive sanctity of high school basketball or college swimming is just… like, dude. Maybe these things mean too much if that much is on the line. It is only a game, y u have to be mad?

Of course it’s not about the sports, it was never about the sports, its about finding a scapegoat that doesn’t have the political power to fight back. Innocent people who just want to exist. But ah, no, we need penis detectors and hormone checks and we need to invade the privacy of children to… save the children from… other… children

I know I’m not exactly steelmanning the transphobes here but do you think it ever occurs to any of them how fucking stupid they sound

They’ve already impeached him twice.

i dont think that’s what they were saying at all

We feel similarly about this topic. You might look into donating to one of their unions. I donated to SAG for a long time in lieu of paying for Netflix et al. The money doesn’t go directly to artists but it does help keep their posture strong in negotiations and strikes. Of course I’m piss broke now, but it felt nice to contribute materially while it lasted.

almost uploaded this to the lemonade stand listing before I realized it could probably be construed as an actionable threat. that was close lol

If you’re rank and file, sure. If you’re the CEO then posting something like this really brings your judgment into question.

3 years on and its going well, I think:

Oh and they lost the world cup

I, for one, welcome our cetacean overlords.

well they are criminals who took a fat shit on the Constitution, ruined our international goodwill, gave elon musk unfettered access to sensitive government systems, killed USAID, started a war, poisoned the food supply, made energy so much more expensive that even “apolitical” people are starting to notice, willingly work with pedophiles, and more.

They are flagrantly incompetent and corrupt. If it’s not hard for them to win in '28 we should just pack it all up and nuke ourselves.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here and Thiel is never going to read this but holy fuck. The wealthy do not live in reality.

This is the second time you posted it in this thread even lmao

"These goddamn city slickers are moving out here and making everything expensive "

I was expecting like 2040. Ah, that’s right. “Faster than anticipated.”

ah yes, Hamas is embedded so thoroughly we have to shoot people waiting for food aid after we carpet bombed their house And dont get me started on journalists, the Associated Press should be designated an international sponsor of terrorism.

If you must try to hold on to this idea that Israel is acting in good faith when they mow the lawn ❌thin the population❌ erase gaza❌ defend themselves ✅ from human animals❌ amalek❌ Hamas ✅ by bombing hospitals and schools you could at least admit that IDF fucks up a lot. Like a suspicious amount.

Idk if oil being negative was a good thing per se. It was a signal that the economy was suddenly grinding to a halt and energy demand was cratering.

Because most people do not follow the news very closely. They learn enough to form an opinion, often against their will, and then try their hardest to pay attention to things that don’t torpedo their mental health.

I don’t have a source to point at but I think the first trump admin, followed by covid, broke people. There is no good news and no clear action to take to make the bad news stop. So people tune out. Some news slips through with their FYP or whatever but even then what they get is predigested and filtered so that the emotion hits hard and goes away fast. The most popular form of media is designed not to inform, so people are not informed.
