I’d always just drop a link. Got the message across, but never got me banned:

Did Trump let Americans die purely for political purposes? (www.rawstory.com)

of at least a half-million Americans is to argue — nonsensically — that the virus came out of the Wuhan virology lab and therefore something, something, something Trump is not responsible. He’s doing this with House Oversight Committee hearings this week.

Not political reasons, just personal greed. He was busy being a bean salesman when we needed a president.

I mean, kinda, yeah. You saw what happened to Sanders.

But so long as the red team is in full literal Nazi mode, we really shouldn’t bitch too much about the not-evil options. We don’t want to sentence the US with another Trump because the alternative is uninspiring.

It’s a shitty system, but let’s work with that we got.

You’re searching for reason in an array of stupid. It’s not there. He’s just a racist asshole doing racist asshole shit.

Noted. As other posters have mentioned, it carries a lot of historical connotation… I’ve either never run into it or never noticed it before (again, seems benign, barring the historical context). Thankfully I’ve also never used it, cuz it’s kind of a shitty descriptor - not specific at all.

Sterile_Technique,

I do hate how history can muddy language like that. Terms like “colored people” should mean literally people who are colored… and nothing else. I’ve never been one to actually use that term because it’s so non-specific; but I never knew it had a derogatory connotation either.

“The military was never intended to be, you know, inclusive. Its strength is not its diversity. Its strength is its standards”

Ah, yeah he’s a racist piece of shit. And also, unsurprisingly, 100% wrong. Speaking as a veteran (US), the diversity of our military is a HUGE source of its strength. This dumbass is literally advocating for weakening our military for the sake of being racist.

That’s not just stupid, that’s dangerous stupid.

C’mon now people, I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable deflection for this.

I had over 300 days logged on my main, vanilla through cata.

For me, and I think most people with an obscene amount of time logged - we weren’t there for the game, we were there for the guild. It’s been years since I played, but I’m still in regular contact with some of those people - WAY more so than old friends from school and such.

Those folks were my digital family - I don’t regret those hours for a second.

Who still has a rift in their family due to differing opinions over Covid?

My parents have always been left-wing hippies and entertained the odd conspiracy theory, but during the pandemic they got lost down YouTube rabbit holes and bought into Q-Anon and anti-vax ideas. They still don’t believe Covid is real (even though they blatantly had it…)....

My grandma was 100% sold on covid being some kind of left wing hoax. She died from covid.

…and now I’m the one being insensitive for acknowledging that she died an idiot, and likely took several others down with her. It’s like we’re supposed to just pretend her death was anything other than suicide by political zealotry.

Here’s hoping. Cracking away at nursing prerequisites, so assuming that path goes as planned, I’m a couple years away from a job as a nurse, which will hopefully translate to a large enough pay check to afford health insurance.

To actually fall asleep within a few minutes of laying in bed, and stay asleep until I actually need/want to be awake.

I did residential construction for a couple years, then 4 in the military, so no stranger to physical exhaustion… Insomnia hit even in those times.

The only way to predictably get a decent chunk of sleep is to kind of bank hours in the days leading up to it. Like if get 0 to maybe 3 hours per night through the work week, I’ll sleep like a baby come Saturday.

Never been on meds for it. Was afraid to report it when I was active duty (fucking stupid) and now my rating isn’t high enough to cover prescriptions and I don’t have regular health insurance so… can’t afford them. :-/

Thanks! It’s going well so far! Actually rocking a 4.0, but the class I’m in now (microbiology) will likely be putting an end to that. Confident in a passing grade at least, and that’s all I really need for admission into the nursing program. Things are moving along!

I think of it like a digital facial expression. Upvoting is akin to smiling or conveying some other positive emotion like affirmation or understanding (even if the subject matter is inherently negative). Downvote is the opposite- someone says something irl that makes you frown or grimmace, or you know they’re telling you a lie, your expression can convey that without a single word. Here, downvote.

There’s no real etiquette - if you feel like you want to give an up or down vote, just do it and don’t put too much thought into it.

The Standoff Between MTG and Lauren Boebert Is Worse Than You Think (www.thedailybeast.com)

It’s no secret that the relationship between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert has never been worse. The two U.S. representatives yelled at each other on and off the House floor. Greene recently called Boebert a “little bitch” to her face. And Boebert supported Greene’s removal from the Freedom Caucus.

…I’m still not 100% sure Boebert and MTG aren’t just one domestic terrorist with two different colored wigs.

Rapidly growing pet peeve of mine - the GOP bigwigs pretty consistently act like morons, cuz that’s what their base finds relatable; but don’t take the bait. These fuckers get away with causing SO MUCH damage to our country because we keep just giving them the village idiot pass. There’s a kind of blundering innocence that comes with dismissing them as stupid. Better to assume that while they excel at acting the fool, their actions are calculated and deliberate. These fuckers are evil, not stupid.

Sterile_Technique,

That’s true. I suppose it’s more of a compartmentalization: she’s fucking stupid when it comes to basic high school level information; but she’s competent and relentless at damaging the US. The latter is the one I care about about - don’t really give a shit about her academic struggles.

Don’t focus on the stupid, focus on the domestic terrorism.
