I don’t know how you can think I’m giving a free pass to republicans when right in the part you quoted I’m saying they’re worse than democrats. I skimmed the rest of your moralizing lecture and you’ve made a hilarious strawman that doesn’t represent me at all, but I hope you enjoyed your masturbation session, “champ”.

Okay, what is happening to him is a humanitarian crisis, but they arrested him for driving without a license, not because he missed a turn signal.

Technically true, but the turn signal was an excuse to pull him over, it’s not like they knew he didn’t have a license. At the same time, is he able to get a license without legal status? He has lived in the country for 50 years, but these technicalities are what give the excuse to deport him.

It can be argued “the law is the law” but what kind of society are we trying to achieve by enforcing these technicalities (while also permitting the corruption and outright illegal acts of the president)? It’s a case that highlights the broken (intentional or otherwise) system of legal status within this country and how it’s used to exercise control over people’s lives.

Can you imagine being pulled over every time you fail to signal? A lot of times people don’t signal when they’re in a turn-only lane because it’s obvious they’re going to turn, but technically that can be used as an excuse to pull them over.

It’s only whataboutism if it’s defense of a non-western country.

For some reason I thought there’d be way more trans women than trans men, probably because trans women are brought up so much more often.

I’m at carolina reaper. What now?

Republicans being worse is no excuse for democrats being dog shit. Republicans continue to lower the bar and the democrats follow them while leaving just enough space to be considered different, but what we end up with is a continual decline regardless.

Biden is a pile of shit and I hated voting for him.

Kinda funny how you’re talking about an echo chamber when you yourself are just repeating the mainstream media talking points about diplomacy. There is a reason why they promote peaceful solutions, it’s because they’re easier to ignore or quash.

Introduced in 2023? A lot more recent than I would’ve thought.

I’ve pushed myself and all it unlocks is burning.

Yep, it’s not just the customer side that has to face this force-feeding, it’s also being done internally. I’m not aware of AI usage being tracked in my company, but they’re constantly encouraging us to use it and highlighting stories of people who have used it.

I read the article just fine, actually. If you actually understand what poverty means, you wouldn’t make such a ridiculous claim. It’d have to be a really high cost-of-living city for that to be the case, but there are a lot of cities where a family can raise children on $140k easily. Affordability these days is difficult in general, I understand the frustration, and it’s probably why people downvoted me by reflex, but creating a poverty line off cherry-picked conditions doesn’t make any sense.

No.

Why are so many people mailing bones?

Droptimus.

They simply don’t inhale.

Russia has equipment to spare?

Except those who control the narrative will not face consequences for harmful messages they spread. For example, the trump administration spreads a lot of anti-trans messaging. They’ve been going after the funding of schools for what they deem “CRT and radical gender ideology” (https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5113202-trump-schools-executive-order-crt-gender-ideology/). Now imagine they go after online commentators which will be super easy because they’ve got their real names attached to their posts.

Ruzzia is a grey, third world toilet, that will be paying reparations forever once they finish losing.

Worked great against Germany after world war 1.
