Yeah, I knew that was why he got the flick. I just didn't get to see it personally.

I did, I didn't report it, however I remember being in that thread, seeing his post, seeing it deleted, then shortly afterwards people were commenting on how he was finally banned.

Walter White coming back from the grave be like "I am the one who walks"

Sorry if it's already been posted, however Biden approved 300m new aid for Ukraine.

Just got around to watching the video. They literally blew the lid off of that tanker.

South/Central America in general is very into DBZ, however I think Argentina especially so, at least by reputation, so this isn't that surprising.

Still cool.

Got Polio before there was a vaccine, lived a relatively decent life in a society that valued medicine and vaccines, only to ultimately be killed because we now have anti-vaxx fuckers due to politics who would even at times intentionally spread the plague to prove "how much of a hoax it was".

Anti-vaxxers can't go fuck themselves hard enough, honestly.

I've done both for achievements, the only side I actually enjoy doing the questline for is Imperial, though.

The empire obviously has their problems and it sucks that they've ended up as the Thalmor's thralls, but the Stormcloaks are just shitty racist nationalists. I don't support those people in real life nor video games.

I don't know CE well enough to gauge that, however I will say as a long-time politics board resident that presidential election years always bring right-wingers out of the woodworks who I had either never seen post before or seldom did so.

Sucks to suck. Maybe on whatever site he frequents now he's learned not to brag about being at January 6th and personally seeing BLM & AntiFa instigating the violence.

I kinda hope not, scrub that fucker off the Internet as far as I'm concerned.

Well that was big of you and shows you were here for honest discussion, so that's cool.

Yeah, it was a poor decision to think it was inherently about being lazy, however to err is human and to admit fault is to be mature.

I honestly think it's pretty fucking weird for people to refer to people they fuck, or want to fuck, as mommy/daddy.

Like, I get it you have severe parental issues likely stemming from their absence, but it sounds like you want to fuck the father/mother figure who wasn't there for you.

I wouldn't dump somebody over it, however I'd ask her not to.

People in countries with 32 hour work weeks measure higher in happiness and work-life balance.

Maybe you just need to get out of the capitalist bubble and realize you grew up in a country meant to manipulate you into being their slave. We only have the 40 hour work week because our country used to be so shitty and capitalist nut gobbling that children were working 16 hour days in factories for like 25c a day because it was necessary for the household to survive.

Things are better now than they were back then and they can be even better yet.

Awhile ago as in... Barely over two weeks ago?

Also, you have much more like that in your post history, so...

That person was also defending JK Rowling from the "hateful and mean people" in the thread where she was denying transpeople were victims of the holocaust, which I assume is what led to their current purgatory status the same day they were posting here (I first noticed their post there, then noticed them in the JK Rowling thread).

You were right to be suspicious and wrong to give them the benefit of the doubt, though I suspect you only said that to "lure them further into a trap" IE them explaining themselves.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that this happens often enough that I'm not 100% sure on who you mean either. Maybe it was Jacob Williamson? I know when that story first got shared here, a lot of the articles were using his old name.

Yeah, with how this was originally reported, it sounded like they died in the hospital as a result from the attack. I'll chock that up to being intentionally vague about an ongoing investigation. But I still hope the family can get an independent autopsy done.

They really need to. Oklahoma has proven they're very anti-trans and openly hostile to them, a government official even referred to them as "filth" when asked about Nox's death.

I hoenstly would not be surprised if the coroner who ruled it suicide is just some sack of shit Trumper serving their cause.

King_Rial posted...

So...does this come down to more shittiness from Garland's office?

It's uncertain if Garland knew about this or there is someone in the SDNY who is on Trump's side, either implicitly or because Trump directly asked.

Keep in mind that they specifically declined to charge Trump on the same charges they charged Cohen with, even though the crime literally only existed at Trump's behest.

It took Bragg coming in to make anything happen in regards to Trump and this case.

In regards to Georgia in my opinion it's better for Wade to be gone than Willis. This whole trial and the enthusiasm for prosecuting Trump and his minions only exists because of her, she would be a far bigger loss than just some prosecutor we only really know the name of because of this whole shitshow.

God, Why does the U.S justice system bend over backwards to try to defend and help enable letting this dried up orange turd get away from ever being forced to deal with the consequences of his actions

Are the rich and powerful that afraid that it might create a precedent and that they might be next

The system was designed by rich white men to protect rich white men. It's operating as intended, it's just more glaringly in our face than usual because it's Trump.

Did I dream this or did he tell her lawyer "C U Next Tuesday"?

He told her that and she didn't know what it meant when he said it. Others had to tell her and she said she's glad she didn't understand.

In "fairness" to her Trump's mental state is so unstable she might have legitimately thought it was just breaking with reality when he said that and that he actually thought there was something happening next Tuesday.

Good. Far better than people than Giuliani have lost everything and ended up homeless sleeping in the streets for far more benign reasons.

Giuliani at least actually deserves it. If he finds it so unbearable he can commit crimes to be housed in the prison system for the rest of his life.

Well this story is fucked. As someone who had a period of being a NEET, even though as an American, I can't imagine being so ungrateful that I'd try to burn the house down, with my family still inside, because I didn't like the food they made.

LonelyStoner posted...

I think you might be right. Dont several generations of a family live together in Japanese culture?

In most countries it's pretty common. They also have a different style of raising children which involves more extended family/community effort as opposed to the U.S. nuclear family model where it's usually just the parents who insist that them and only them know what's best for their child. We also have this really stupid attitude where parents think they know what's best for them in all regards and should be the final authority on all subjects. Like, that pediatrician didn't spent 8-11 years learning about the anatomy and well-being of children from a medical perspective just for someone to think they know better only because they shoved one out their vagina/came into one. That doesn't make you an expert of anything except reproducing.

The craziest thing to me is that Scott was a Democrat who wanted their nomination for Congress or something, they told him no, he switched to being a Republican, they quickly nominated him, and then here he is.

People like that have absolutely zero credibility. This is Candace Owens chasing the money shit, then inhaling their own asshole so much, they start to truly believe the bullshit they say.

I've heard a few people attest to how they have black male friends who got into politics as a Republican and they chose that party because they were straight up told they'd get paid to.

There will always be money for black people willing to shit on black people to make white racists feel like they aren't actually racist.

I didn't know he tried to be a Dem first. I know Owens also tried to be a progressive pundit and was getting nowhere, and now she is who she is.

This and certifying the election are probably the only 2 decent things he's ever done in his life.

It was funny hearing this audio played after audio of Tim Scott praising Trump for taking over the RNC. Even Uncle Tom would be ashamed of Scott.

This is the hardest case to prove guilt.

But Bragg needs to get on the ball

Nah, I've heard career prosecutors talk about how it's actually one of the easiest cases. It's literally all documented and it's the same crime Cohen served time for.

How could one logically argue that the guy who instructed Cohen to do a crime he was found guilty of is not guilty of the same crime, especially since the crime only exists at his behest?

Been learning about this, it's fucked how the SDNY has handled this.

Over a year ago Trump's team requested the documents. They were provided some and insisted they knew there were more.

I think yesterday or today DOJ finally provided 73k pages of documents and I think there's another 15k on the way.

tiktok doesn't cultivate liberalism, it radicalizes people towards illiberalism

Nah, for one a lot of Dems do use TikTok to reach younger voters (Republicans do, too, however Dems were quicker to it) and even if they didn't young people who love tiktok will be bitter over the loss of it.

Them not voting could ultimately give the election to Trump since their demographic is more likely to go Dem when they participate.

I get Congress isn't taking into account the electoral ramifications, however they exist nonetheless.

Why wouldn't the government just ban guns if they want to ban guns? How would killing a few dozen children and then failing at banning guns be their grand idea? Why do conspiracy theorists simultaneously think the government is both incredibly evil and incredibly stupid/incompetent?

These monsters don't operate off of either logic or emotion.

When Obama, a father of 2 himself, cried over the death of the sandy hook children they accused him of crocodile tears meant to "lead to him stealing our guns".

They constantly prove they value firearms more than the lives of their own children, which isn't even hyperbolic for one of the Stoneman-Douglas fathers who says guns weren't to blame for the death of his daughter.

Rodgers brought up the tragic killing of 20 children and 6 adults by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School, claiming it was actually a government inside job and the media was intentionally ignoring it.

Disgusting sack of shit.

Dude just keeps creating new reasons to despise him.

I'm glad he didn't get to play a role in the last season. Fuck that guy, I hope he hurts himself every pre-season.

It wasnt like it was ever hidden. For people who follow the NFL this has been known about since it happened. Its not finally coming out. Hes not exactly been quiet about all his goofy beliefs.

Well it's nice for those of us who don't follow the NFL like you.

Also, I think it's not as well-known as you think because there's been plenty of past political discussions in regards to Rodgers and I don't think this has ever been discussed. It's a pretty big deal.

Compared to say him being anti-vaxx and lying to his teammates about being vaxxed.

Correct, however that person is right in that the initial reporting of Benedict's death did say "died as a result" of the beating, even though they didn't die on the school bathroom floor like someone literally beaten to death.

Not commenting on Boeing, just wanna say, I always keep my seatbelt fastened while seated and I thought that was just common practice. Even without something horrific like they're describing, it could still suck during unexpected turbulence.

Don't flight attendants even ask you to keep it fastened while seated unless you need to get up for something?

For all else being equal, I'd rather the US government do that than some other government.

I don't know why since the U.S. government has violated your rights, security, and privacy more than China has.

GWB with the Patriot Act violated our rights far more than China ever has.

I haven't read through this whole thread, however typically people don't even express why they fear China having access to this data, they just lose their mind at the mention of China and attach it to some nebulous fear that exists from merely the word itself.

What exactly are people fearing they're going to do with this data? Know who people are? Steal their identity for AI/propaganda purposes? Take out a loan in their name? Come to their house and execute them in the middle of the night?

Russia's objective is not the "extermination" of Ukraine though... That's another war.

Well, the extermination of the Ukraine as a sovereign country... I guess. But then what's new. Not like say the USA has never done something similar, etc.

I'm not saying yes, Ukraine should surrender, no question about it. I'm asking, is there really no limit to the price of freedom? How many more need to die? How much deeper in misery does a country need to go down? It's a question, no matter how uncomfortable.

No matter how reasonable you people try to make it sound, you always make it sound like surrendering will somehow lessen the deaths and misery of the Ukrainian people. They are resisting as hard as they are precisely because they know that's not true.

Russia has promised to kill Ukraine as a nation and identity, we've seen how they rape, torture, and murder occupied cities/towns that have been reclaimed, they've taken over a nuclear power plant and have handled its security very stupidly and intentionally irresponsibly (which is a threat to pretty much all of Western Europe due to nuclear fallout), they intentionally target civilians through both military attacks and damaging utility infrastructure, and we know that they've stolen a plethora of citizens and sent them into Russia proper for who knows what.

I truly don't understand how anybody could be foolish enough to think appeasing Putin here would somehow end/mitigate the misery of the Ukrainian people. If anything you'd exacerbate it because he knows he has cart blanche to do whatever he wants with the country.

The world already tried appeasing him when he invaded and stole Crimea, thinking it would prevent him wanting more and yet here we are.

The Ukrainian people are fighting because they know they need to, they know what surrender to Russia means, the rest of the world just needs to support their self-defense.

Chinese leadership is bad. Tik Tok serves Chinese leadership.

No it doesn't. All Chinese companies are required by their law to turn over data to the government if it requests it. Yes, that could be used for nefarious purposes, however they do not directly serve the CCP any more than any other Chinese company, who are also obligated under the same rules.

You know what other country requires that of their companies? The U.S.

All U.S.-based social media is under the same obligation if law enforcement/the government requests the data. Social media data is not protected from the government at all.

He's the only way we're landing on the Moon by the end of the decade. Blue Moon is probably DOA. And he'll be on a long leash that probably extends all the way to the Moon.

Yeah, I guess it's fair to say it's SpaceX in general.

I was mostly remembering back to when he handicapped the Ukrainian army in crimea, I think, by blocking out the starlink network in that region, spiting the U.S. and its interests, even though we give a shit ton of money to him to even launch those satellites.

Due to Starlink I fear the U.S. government will never hold Musk accountable for anything.

When I was a kid my family was lazy-theist (church on Sunday and Catholic holidays, but no greater worship or praying outside of that in the household) and in my own personal life I never felt like there was some deity who loved me/gave them a reason to revere/worship them. As I got older and started to learn the logical arguments against it, it just solidified my non-belief.

I guess I'll say that in my mid teenage years I was desperately pleading in prayer, hoping that I was wrong, for some sort of relief of this pain I've had on a daily basis since middle school, obviously no answer was given and no pain was relieved.

The one thing I thank it for as is a 5 & 6 year old "gay lord" was my go-to insult (it was the 90s, calling people gay was a common insult, especially among stupid kids) and I learned that it might violate the commandment of "taking the lord's name in vain", which seemed like an easy commandment to correct myself on. I actually so committed to it that I don't use any common phrases based off religion that many other atheists/anti-theists use "oh my god", "Jesus Christ/Christ" (as an expression of exasperation) "holy shit", "god damnit", etc. My vocabulary naturally evolved without ever incorporating that into my typical vernacular. Now it's weird to me as an anti-theist when I see atheists/anti-theists use those phrases seemingly without thinking about it as they're products of their environment and seem to just accept it.

It's especially ironic that I follow that commandment as an anti-theist more ardently than most theists.

Lmao, suck on it, fascists.

He told Biden he has a "photographic understanding and recall of the house", so that was a specific example. I think it's reasonable to acknowledge that Biden can remember certain things well but be critical of other examples he can't remember, like if he was VP in 2009.

He also lied about Biden not remembering when he son died, when the question asked what month and Biden gave the exact date, May 30th.

Hur is a verified liar and his report was a political smear job. EVERYBODY is saying how improper it is for a prosecutor to say how they assume a jury would respond to a defendant and how wrong he was for including that.

There is no defending him.

Ok, that's fair cause I didn't, I did jump to the wrong conclusion because I've heard so many Republicans "sad to see what their party has become" act like it's the liberals/Dems who need to be concerned and work at/hope for restoring their party to how it used to be.

I stick by what I said at the end, though. Fuck the Republican Party, they need to go. I don't necessarily want Trump to take over the party, however it that leads to its eventual end then so be it. This country needs to be permanently rid of the Republican Party.

Was the lead making antisemitic remarks? I didnt really follow the situation just saw she got fired and figured it had something to do with that.

She spoke out against the genocide happening in Gaza. Some higher up Spyglass executive of Jewish ethnicity got pissed off about this and had Barrera fired. Ortega claims scheduling conflicts, however Scream is a pretty popular franchise that I imagine promises to pay well (unless you're Neve Campbell, I guess) and I recall in the previous thread when this was happening people were pointing out there logically was no conflict. I'm hoping she quit out of solidarity with Barrera, personally.

Pow_Pow_Punishment posted...

Keep in mind that Hur's thesis was ultimately not to charge Biden, which made right-wingers mad at him. I know I'm kind of defending Hur in this topic, but in Biden's defense he handed over his documents while Trump did not, which is the key difference that Hur correctly saw.

Yeah I know, Republicans are livid over it. Both sides were pissed at him in that hearing, and rightfully so.

There's 100% no reason to defend Hur at all or in any capacity. The transcript of the deposition shows he referred to Biden as having a "photographic memory", his report calls him an old man riddled with memory issue.

It was a political hit job that hid the fact there was no evidence to charge him on page 200 and spent the time until then insulting Biden for Republican fodder.

Fuck that guy.

Nah, not in my case the few times it was applicable. I still think I made the right choice to not engage, however admittedly I do sometimes regret it.
