Turns out that its not the specific few words, but the fact that Zuck wasn’t physically dragged/slammed/destroyed/evicerated or even just separated from his hundreds of billions. She actually just said some words.

Doesn’t everyone keep clothes around just in case of sudden TS?

Public get tired of bad economy, support liberals / democrats to do something about the economy

Then people forget who was in charge when the bad times started. Was fun talking to my mom recently about COVID and how the economic downturn and lockdowns were primarily under Trump. Not even trying to blame it on him or anything; just stating those coincided and were during his term because having an a basic timeline is apparently hard when it goes against the narrative you want to push, even when you actually know the years and months those events happened.

Oh no, someone enjoys referring to themselves in an unusual way. Lets start dozens of threads to bully them because I don’t like it! /s

When your comment starts with “but drag is extra weird, so its okay to be rude!” it seems odd to accuse others of it.

Perhaps if those words had any value, they’d be worth reading.

Tldr, but suspect you proved my point that people are way too opinionated about other people’s idiosyncrasies. Does drag even post anymore (or like that at least)?

And the same crowd that would spend their time making posts about a certain dragon poster all the time.

I’m on team Psyþik here. I always find it amusing when I come across the þ in the wild, especially when replies just treat it as normal because of how much San uses it.

Selective enforcement against minorities has a rich history here.

Accounts whose profile page have urls starting with reddit.com/u are also sus.

Probably none that aren’t like someone’s personal self-hosted server intended for only them. I doubt I’d want to join such either. And any that don’t probably get blocked by other comms anyways, so it wouldn’t really matter.

I think that one originally was started for conservatives, but then it got abandoned and someone asked the admins if they could have it to make it a satire sub. Also, your instance does block a fair bit of comms, including ones that are for right-wing (like communities with taglines or website names about being racist and misgendering people) or tankies.

Work is great, people are forced to talk to you

Downside is the boundaries are narrower at work and if you do cross them, it makes the whole thing a lot more creepy and could have more potential consequences in a place that doesn’t just tolerate workplace sexual harassment.

I do wonder how many guys are unaware of how creepy some things might be because of their own experiences. Like, I had a guy show up at my work before normal hours while I was alone to try to hit on me and did so by asking such wonderful questions as “are you alone?” and “how often are you alone?” (along with a consecutive series of several other similar flags). And yet I can’t help but wonder if he had no clue how creepy someone would find such. Honestly, I didn’t even think the interaction was creepy until I realized he was trying to hit on me without actually showing any interest in me beyond my body, when it would be alone, and its opinion on reporting SA. I don’t get how someone could possibly think that’s a good way to try to hook up with someone no matter how “friendly” or “nice” you are in the interaction, and yet that wasn’t the last time he tried. Maybe I just don’t get hook-up culture or something.

I assumed they were saying the companies need specific amounts of revenue to cover their debts and if they lose foreign revenue streams, they’re going to make it up by increasing domestic prices.

Crashes can precipitate from small points of failure that are intertwined with bigger investments. The market is like a powder keg with people wanting to keep money in as far up as possible and wanting to pull out to avoid being the bigger loser holding the bag, so it makes sense people will look into points of critical failure where such starts.

Have you considered just using something with version history support and keep the PDF there? That way you can just revert to old versions as needed. Foss option that comes to mind would be nextcloud. Also would mean if students tried to change things after it’s been graded, you have a version of the graded version. Then you could use whatever pdf edit/annotation software you want.

Even 10 years ago, disc drives seemed to be out of fashion. But if you laptop was 5 years old, it likely have one anyways.

Don’t forgot you are in a country were police bombed a rowhouse (both with surface level explosives and dropping a bomb from a helicopter on it), starting a fire that they allowed to burn that killed 5 children (all children of the ~7 people they were targeting) and burned 61 homes, damaging over 100 more homes (making 100’s of people homeless) within the lifetime of almost all non-local elected officials and then re-elected the mayor responsible: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-largely-forgotten-history-of-philadelphias-police-bombing-of-black-organization-move https://commons.lib.jmu.edu/jmurj/vol7/iss1/3/

Yet, after the bombing, Mayor Goode and the Philadelphia Police Department received support from around the country. The Los Angeles Police Chief at the time, Daryl Gates, defended the use of an explosive device, declaring it “a sound tactic.” Gates also stated that Mayor Goode had “provided some of the finest leadership [he had] ever seen from any politician” and that he hoped Mayor Goode “ran for national office.” Michael Nutter, then an assistant to a city councilman, said “[MOVE] is a group of people whose philosophy is based on conflict and confrontation.” Roy Innis, who was the chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), called Mayor Goode’s handling of the crisis “heroic.” Tom Cremans, the former director of Accuracy Systems Inc., which sells munitions to police departments, said “the police exercised remarkable restraint in not using the device earlier.”

While there was lots of negative media, there was also a lot of positives:

The New York Times referred to MOVE as a radical group, focused more on the complaints from the neighbors against MOVE, and framed the incident as a city reacting against behavior that was well out of the norm for a working-class African American neighborhood. In the Times article, Dee Peoples, the owner of a store two blocks away from the MOVE house, said that “all you hear is aggression. You sleep with it, you wake up with it, you live with it.” The San Francisco Chronicle wrote about the group’s strange philosophy and how while it was, in theory, a “philosophy of anti-materialism, pacifism and concern for the environment,” in practice “its history was replete with violence, obscenity and filth.” The Chronicle article stated that former MOVE member Donald Glassey had testified John Africa “had planned an armed confrontation with police and had MOVE members make bombs and buy firearms.” The Lexington Herald-Leader, like the Times, described MOVE as a radical organization and defined the cause of the siege as MOVE refusing “to leave the house under an eviction order from police.” The Herald article also discussed neighbors’ complaints of “assaults, robberies, and a stench at the house.”

People justify state violence, even when it harms 100s of uninvolved people, based on how negatively they can portray those the violence was targeted at and call the their actions “law and order” and point to the aftermath of their own actions as a warzone to justify additional violence.

The police were doing it during BLM every day as well. They’d flood residential areas with tear gas that would seep into random people’s homes with immunity. Local police is one of the most left-leaning areas of the country, and they still let their gangs get away with that kind of violence.
