Does anyone remember when Biden stepped down and Republicans were real mad that the democrats were “hiding” his decline?

🤨

I never would have heard about this if not for the fediverse

There’s actually a surprising number of people who still use both. People who feel they’ve been wronged are usually pretty vocal about it. I’m not saying they’re exaggerating or lying or anything either, mind you, just pointing out that’s the way the human mind works. Capital One pissed me off and I told everyone who would listen for like a decade after, but no one really volunteers info about uneventful relationships.

Sorta. That ruling allowed them to use race as a criteria, but not the criteria for stopping someone. So the ACLU is seeking to prove that racial profiling is the primary and often only sorting criteria ICE is using, which is currently not allowed as far as we know (or it will force the courts to just admit that racial profiling is 100% open season now).

They’re also calling them tonks, which isn’t so much a racial slur but refers to the sound a flashlight makes when they hit someone over the head with it. It’s not just that they’re no-no words, it’s that the language they are using is very much linked to the violence they are also doing.

There are ongoing cases about the Pretti / Good murders also at a minimum, so it’s not an either-or situation.

That’s not to say that any of this is good or acceptable, mind you. The fact that the country didn’t absolutely grind to a halt over all of this is a massive failure, of course.

And you didn’t even really ouch on the insane toxicity that’s festered there x_x

They are SO friendly toward racism and bigotry as long as you don’t actually say a slur, but then their moderation is such a mess that you can get perma-banned for a sarcastic joke.

Rest in piss!

It’s more than dozens

yeah

the point is more that no one is forcing these guys to become software engineers and go to the gym in their free time. They can do whatever they want for a living. But they don’t.

I can’t remember where I heard it but some podcaster or youtuber pointed out that it’s never been easier to have an alpha masculine job. In the past, you might be born into a class that meant you pretty much had to farm, but now anyone can join the police or the military, and yet a lot of these guys that are super concerned about the death of masculinity are not doing that.

How did he take that news?

Is he just really losing it now?

“I don’t care [if people loathe me]” who do you think you’re foolin’ lol

This really perplexes me. Maybe I’m kind of in a bubble.
